That's awesome,I didn't know he can speak fluent Tongan,nice..
sillau9 Yeah it is, he lived in Tonga most of his life and visits often which is also really cool to see. He's close to his roots
Born in Texas moved and raised in Tonga til his grandpa told him to go America with his mum
Awesome Tongans like ALL Ethnicities come in all shades, shapes and sizes and it is BEAUTIFUL!!! Malo Aupito siana.
Though as an aside. There have been many "blessings" with Christianity in the Pacific but I can understand why our ancestors accepted the God of the invaders/colonizers.
It was I guess abeit the Spiritual part it was also "cultural capital" and our people being smart enough to take and mould Christianity into our traditions and cultures that predated the invasions for thousands of years. Though there were cultural traditions that were lost. In Samoa in particular the denunciation of the Matriarchal Cheifly lines replaced or dominated by Patriarchal lines.
It's in our oral history people. XXX
They're a lot of Black Tongan and Fijian Tonga in Tonga black dark like my self. Ai mo lau 'ae hisitolia.
There a white Tongan, Black Tongan, Brown Tongan and Fijian Tongan.
So true. Tongans can be really dark lol. God made polynesians really diverse.
He's half black
@@theJamaicanDiver yeah we know but if u come to polynesia u will see some black some lightskin....and mostly in Tonga and Samoa the only islands close to melanesia
sai tau ilo🤣
@@Get_out_my_face 😂😂😂😂
I remember seeing this guy at the airport in Tonga and I was tripping out on how good he's Tongan is malo pita..
wallid ahmed He was raised in Tonga lol
He is what the original Tongans look like.
Well, white jesus owns the mind of these islands, so of course the opposite of your God image would be shameful and something you have to deny.
The Majority of Polynesians are Christians. The history you speak of is based on the conquerors of those islands. The blackbirding history details who they were collectively I didn't say they were from Africa. Black based on the term of racial description. They were heavily melanated. The asian presence came as forced laborers with the colonists. They held a status below white people but always above the original people of these islands.
The original Austronesians are heavily melananted(BLACK) people.
there's always THAT Tongan (0:24) lmaoooo, but im extremely proud of pita. 'ofa atu :)
Hhhh

He is half African American, his father is full African American but Pita never grew up with him. Pita was born in Texas but was sent overseas as a 3 month old child and raised by his grandparents.

Much respect Pita, having the success you've attained and still reaching out in love to help those who are less fortunate is true success.

Is this guy part african american?
Yes his father is black. This is amazing because he has the quickness of African Americans but the heart, strength, and humility of a Polynesian. Ultimate breed 💯💪👌👌👌
Looks like “dad” is out of the picture because he has a Tongan surname. Typical black guy move, impregnate then disappear.
