but don't Africans do the same thing in the us? because they sometimes isolate themselves from black Americans. Its normal for people to have a stronger connection to their fraternal ethnic group.
Im stuck and struck at the idea of descendants of African slaves being viewed as privileged. That really sickens me.
Brotha in the red shirt is so well spoken and organized in his thought process. Listening to him is worth every second of my time.
GOOD VALUES are NOT a Privilege. You're either a trustworthy person or You're Not and Everyone knows Right from Wrong!
I just came from Ghana I was trying to work with the locals but they keep reminding me to be careful instead of us actually working together. They want me to help them financially instead and they want to do their own stuff lol the mentality there is different. Guys we can't grow if we don't work together this mentality of working extremely hard to make it to the top by yourself is not worth it.
Tina, ethics, and privilege are NOT the same thing, stop throwing that word around as if AAs have real privilege in America!!! Moreover, if they don't care, why should we do business with them???!!!
The Lebanese, Asians and whites work together in their respective communities in Africa. They help each other so that together they grow.
I could be wrong, but those from the diaspora understand the importance of trust a little more than our African family.
"Accountability is a privelege"😲 Tina fails to realise that a lack accountability has resulted in the issues faced by most sub saharan Africans. Corruption is so rampant in our communities, and this is being justified by pointing the finger at colonizers, politicians, or leaders. Two wrongs will never make a right. Its up to every one of us to start making a change
It is not privilege. It is about morals, values, and personal ethics. If you know you don’t want it done to you, then you know better.
Diasporans do not cause the prices to go up. It is the Ugandan owners of the properties that are raising the prices. Diasporans are not demanding to pay a higher price than Ugandans. Ugandans see that they can get more, so they charge more. So put the blame where it belongs, Ugandans are making it harder for other Ugandans due to their own price gouging.
So many gems dropped here. The one liners, witty exchanges, top notch. Salute to this podcast. Informative and entertaining. Blk American from NYC representing. Much love to African diaspora globally.
Oshay is right! Whoever delivers should earn the job, doesn't matter local or diaspora.
This Podcast is killing the game. I've started a successful business in Uganda but only saw it flourish as I stepped back and let my locally born employee take the lead and be the face of the business, which I have no problem with at all because I had planned to eventually hand the business over anyway. Within the city I live in it has been a struggle to find electronics stores, appliance dealers, carpenters, electricians, or any skilled labor that is honest in business dealings or has any sense of integrity to provide the services that they claim to be able to. After DESPERATELY wanting to spend my money locally, I've found myself going to my Indian friend for televisions, phones, and home appliances. Even flaunting your purchases made somewhere else doesn't change the behavior of the local shop owners. I've grown tired of explaining that coming to your shop is not to bring you a GIFT, it is a business exchange. I still fail to understand how they become annoyed when they don't have what you want in their shop and almost insist that you buy some alternative junk and "give" them money. Great Podcast, keep doing the good work.
This is a very real conversation that I think Africans the entire continent over should include themselves in. Lord knows I faced heavy backlash; corruption and exploitation moving to South Africa and operating in my industry more than 20 years ago. I was amazed at how people treated me, knowing that I am a fellow African versus how they treated me when they knew that I actually came from the West after being partly educated there. I got hatred from people from my own country that presented themselves to be friends but the truth is that they were envious and competitive simply because I was educated in the West and felt I had a degree of privilege.
I enjoy Tina's presence because she doesn't tolerate nonsense and speaks her mind, even if she holds back at times.
Good job guys! I’m a Sierra Leonean based in Los Angeles and I’m totally loving your show, Ohsay. These are long awaited conversations to be had
I thank you guys soooo much for getting together just to discuss how to bring our ppl together to make a better tomorrow. THIS is the important message because if we don't help ourselves as blk ppl NO ONE ELSE WILL.
If Africans can come into America and seperate, the Diaspora should do the same in Africa. As these new communities build up the local Africans can always be apart. We need unity not uniformity. We are the most diverse group on the earth, that want never change
When I was enrolled at Howard U in the 1990s, the African undergrad students kept their distance, had their own parties etc.
