Africans are NOT "Black." The Many Races of Africa
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 чер 2024
- Many people may think of all Africans as a single, monolithic race, however, many different races populate the African continent, and they do not like to be confused for each other.
Go check out the Iconoclast's channel: / channel
In this episode, I talk about some of the major racial groups in Africa, along with their appearances, characteristics , and where the live. I love learning about different cultures and places, and I love sharing this information even more. I hope you learn something new while watching and share it with a friend!
Disclaimer For some reason, when people come to my channel they assume that I hate Black people. I am actually part Black myself, and hold nothing but respect for people until proven otherwise. If you're ever watching one of my videos, please watch the entire thing, and realize I am never trying to demonize a certain racial or ethnic group. Thank you.
Thanks for watching! - Комедії
For reals. People see Africa as a country instead of a continent
You right
GEN-01 They honestly don’t.
@Blood Eagle 88 have you been to Africa lol you just watch some movies and think it's accurate
there is no such thing as a white African there is no such thing as a black African us Africans don't see color we see different ethnic group we don't look at each other with the intentions of saying this person is black or this person is white we can distinguish people through different features different languages and different cultures westerners always seem to like to individualize people through their color of skin which is kind of ridiculous because skin color has nothing to do with "DNA" or " genetics" the whitest person in your terms can have more black DNA then what his skin may entail
@@adamdeburguli2867 black DNA 😆
You mean Negroid DNA
Please we don't use the term black in Africa. We refer to tribes and nations
Really? Might want to read this comment section because i see a lot of africans calli g themselves and all others black.
@@daano465 maybe when they're in the west
But like in country we at least refer to them with countries like Kenyans.... Nigerians or so
We online put the term black referring to those of American descent I won't lie that
Yeah I agree the term black is only used in Amerikkka
@@kazibwerashid4627 but they all look the same to me
@Chileshe Chonta okay but I'm black just like you well I don't know if you're black you could be a white person
I am North African; Black is a American thing. If a Nigerian see me they will call me a Arab; but when a African American see me they will say I am Black, I am OK with both! 🙂🙂🙂
Thats great ur tolerant and accepting. Much praise to u.
Arab aren't africa they are sudiarab or Dubai people the one in Libya or egypt are outside
@@dajidaji8237
Arab is not a race or Nationality; Arab is your Ethnicity, it just means you speak Arabic (Semetic Language). Sudanese (Upper Egypt) are Arabs and they make Black Americans look like carbon copy Black people. The first Arabs were Black people and the White Arabs are European Jews that converted to Islam. Just like Dominicans are Hispanic (Speak Spanish), but they are Black. Hispanic is their Ethnicity, most people in the World go by their Ethnicity. It was the Hon. Elijah Muhammad that taught Black Americans that they were "Black", before that they were calling themselves "Negro" (Black Object or Property) and Rev. Jesse Jackson that started African American.
The Native in Libya are Black people, just Google "Gaddafi Bodyguards". I am a Black Egyptian (Misr) 🇪🇬, not a White Arab European that converted to Islam. I know it can be hard for Black Americans to understand Ethnicity, because they don't claim a Ethnicity, but the Black Americans are the real Semetic people.

When people think all Africans are dark I laugh all colors are in Africa ❤️
What is the problem in your color🙄?
@Killikia Productions lol 😂 no there not all dark lol you have thousands of tribes that are literally dark to light
Actually all Africans are dark skinned. Just light brown to black.
@Killikia Productions hhhhhhhhhh are you serious clearly you've never been there sweety north africans are mostly
light skinned and don't get me started with how white ppl are in south africa
@Killikia Productions What an ignorant comment.. I would like you prove that 99.9% of people in Africa are "dark". Africa is a diverse continent which contains many people with different skin tones. They are even Whites living in Africa! Yes, many people in Africa may be "dark". However I would like you to justify your 99.9% claim XD.
It’s amazing how people just find out Egypt is part of Africa like did u study geography 🙄💁🏾♀️🙄💁🏾♀️🙄💁🏾♀️🙄
Like who? Never meant anyone in my life that did not know that
dean counts a lot of uneducated caucasian people
GOLDEN Baby Egyptians are “Caucasian” people
raissa Lola that’s crazy!
Marty Chisnall I’m Egyptians we do not identify as white tf 😂 🤷🏽♂️
Ancient Africans saw each other by tribe or nation not color.European Colonization changed all of that.
As an African, I still see people in terms of tribes. I don't care about color, I care about culture.
@Melvin Carter Wasn't Muhammad Caucasian?
Melvin Carter Have you ever lives in Africa? If not stfu, stop being insecure.
@@lisacox3750 no he is not.
@Melvin Carter before arabs there were Rome and Greek invaders. In fact they used to control the Arabian peninsula way before Muhammad peace be upon him came out. What hadith you're talking about . Plz teach me about my religion am listening. The only hadith that talks about this subject what Muhammad said: no difference between people except with their own deeds.
As a black guy I want to thank you cuz this has never been explained to me ever not even in school keep up the good work and let me know how can I support you
Let me hit you with a little story, my guy. I'm sure you can tell from my pic that I am a white guy. But, I have always be wildly attracted to black women. (My wife is black and we have 3 beautiful mixed-race children together). Anyway, I am a particular flavor of white. I am Nordic. I'm a Viking, and super proud of that. Plus, my grandfather hammered Viking culture and pride into myself, my siblings and my cousins our entire childhoods. When I eventually met my wife and we were dating, I'd occasionally start talking about my culture. Then she said something to me that I will never ever forget. She said, "Baby, I love how passionate you are about your heritage. But, I need you to know that, as a black person in America, I don't know my background like that. And, it kinda hurts my heart." (I paraphrased. But, you get the idea...) When she said that, it kinda messed my head up. Because, a lot of what I love about myself I attribute to the blood of the violent, rapist, snow-bullies that I am descended from. (Haha... I say that because I understand ANY culture has some horrors in its past. Especially mine). My point is twofold. 1) Where you come from is nice to know. But, it certainly doesn't have to define you, or your future. 2) You could get an exome sequencing done, find where your ancestors are from and study those groups of people. That's what we did for my wife. Then I got to learn about a bunch of badass ancient African cultures. Then we went to Africa, which was AMAZING. OK, be safe bro. ✌🏻
@@Hellheart well brother I understand what you're saying but it's something you would never understand and cannot comprehend that's how we identify our own kind same in your culture a black American is black in your case would be a white American is American white that's all brother and I don't consider mixed people to have a race cuz I mix myself I look more black than anything but I'm not always black
@@drejames4191
Nah, I do understand that. Intellectually, anyway. I absolutely can't and don't know what it's like, though. And, I'm sorry you feel that way about being mixed. My kids know that they are so much more for being of two disparate heritages. Maybe you should look at it that way? Also, I brought this up because this video was a little inaccurate. He was wrong about a few things and he seemed to have no knowledge of haplotypes and ancient genetic groupings.
@@Hellheart when I read what your wife said my heart sank 😢 did she ever end up learning about her ancestry and the cultures they had? I really hope she has for her heart and your children’s ❤
@@ariaxrose1 yes, she got an exome sequencing done. She is predominantly (without getting into specific haplotypes) Nubian with a dash of Upper Nile Valley Egyptian and some Bedouin Arab. So, needless to say, she's a gorgeous woman and I am the luckiest Viking in the world. I found me a Nubian Queen. 👑❤️
Edit: Thank you for asking, btw. And, trust me, I made damn sure our babies know full well both sides of their history, and that they should be damn proud of both. They know that because they have 2 vastly different sets of genes in them, that they are greater than both.
Also, not all ‘blacks’ are African. Many native tribes and ethnic groups in south and southeast Asia have dark skin but are genetically south/southeast Asian and are actually very distant from Africans.
Facts, especially Papua New Guineans and Aboriginals in Oceania
These guys legit have darker skin than some black people yet they're completely different ethnically.
@@cobano of course they are different ethnically, they're in two different continents
We would see it in their eye shape and so wouldn't get
@@cobano Their skin color, various shades of brown is constant reminder that they all originated from Africa. If you did diligent research you would know that the people's of the south pacific were some of the first migrants to leave the African continent. They actually share many of the quintessential phenotypes like broader noses, curly hair, physical strength .........oh and their abundance of melanin. The Negritos formed the indigenous population of Southeast Asia, including your Australia and New Zealand. Negritos were the first people to live in the Myamar, Cambodia, Indonesia. Migrants from the Hindu Kush and Andaman Islands helped populate modern day China. The Jomon (africans) founded in Japan 14,000 to 300 BCE. The Chinese and Japanese cuneiform or writing originated from African based "oracle bone"......was perfected by the "black" Shang dynasty and modified later by the Qin. My point is..the genes causing people to have melanin in their skin all come from Africa.
Every country have a black people. We thank God who don't make us yellow or green 😂😂😂😂
When people say African, they refer to sub-Saharans, just like when they say Asian, they are referring to east Asians
That's in America. In the UK, Asians is Indians/ Pakistanis. East Asians are called Orientals.
Mostly in America. Which puts broads groups of races in a box. No human beings there, just races and stereotypes
@SAnsAh Girl ?
Subsaharan is including the horn of Africa was well u kno. That right.
The divide of Sub Saharan was created by white people
Africa is the most diverse continent in the world 🌍
Luka that’s true
The most diverse country in the world in terms of races is Brazil. Most of it due to its african roots and different people.
Levi Lima Yea as a country it is
@Luka how can we be developed while we have been colonized by so called white people who only takes our minerals and go enrich themselves
@Mitanshu Baranwal this is true. Indian people are really beautiful for its diversity.
I’m mostly European and that’s fine, I did a DNA test and have learned about my Native American heritage but surprisingly I have African heritage that is about 8 generations ago. I have learned more about Africa and my distant heritage from UA-cam than I have from western schooling
Judging by your pfp, I think you're an alien
How does it feel when Africa says European and Britain is black know we will say Africa is not black
Why would you be surprised
I'm from Somaliland and I consider myself Black African from Africa. I wouldn't want non Africans telling us what we look like. The same people who colonised this continent and still trying to separate African regarding their looks.
Hubbi Hayyi you’re just jealous that somaliland is so much more stable than Somalia
@Assa • what does it have to do with being African, you do realise that Africa is continent not country or for your information "Congo"". Africa is way much diversified than any other continent and you can't sign off any other country because of their looks.
@Assa • They are like that because they are born like that , they are not mixed...this is a way to say "oh if they are like that and look good its because they have some white or Arabian in them" this is a real bullshit imported by outsiders of continent. Big shame on you to play the game of colonizer.
@Assa • loool you still here writing stupid comments about us 😷😷😷 girl get a life and leave us alone we are not mixed with Arabs if we really are mixed we would have the same tribes as them and our mother language would have been Arabic not Somali 🙄🙄
Nah I'm African bro I don't care, what tribe anyone else is from if they are African they are my family too. Period. The black woman can give birth to black and white, blond hair, blue eyes etc. And she is the only female that can do such. So it makes sense that we all may look different but we are still one.

Spot on, we hate being seen as a monolithic race or group. We don't have the same culture, we don't enjoy the same traditional music (some come as a culture shock), we have different foods, different traditions, behaviours and ways of thinking. Just because we have the same skin color, does not make us the same people, just like the Germans and Swedish or French, Spanish, Italians, Romanians people in Europe. They are not the same and are proud of their uniqueness. A monolithic world would be boring. Diversity allows us to have different angles of opinions, debates and enriches us as being a colourful, creative and exciting world
Interesting. I’ve always intuitively understood this, but this gave me a bit of a better understanding and aroused my curiosity to delve more into learning more about these different cultures.
Very trusting.
You are already more professional than 80% of anthropologists of our generation (who showed almost no interest to ethnic groups outside their own)
Agreed. Understanding ethnic groups are actually critical in dealing with modern day issues. Yet Americans especially treat it as a taboo in Academia due to the early 20th century perversions of the subject. If we want to help anyone internationally, we should probably first actually understand what's most important to THEM rather than ourselves. If we. want to help save people from civil wars, genocides, etc, we should probably understand why such things exist. But that would require studying the "icky" subject of ethnicity and racial divisions.
Professional??? All he is doing is reading what's on the internet and half the information is wrong. Because in was written by someone white.
Africa has many shades of black and brown skin people even albino's are there too so be proud of the most High God of how he created you to be..
Amen 🙌
Amen
@ken nazaryan no he's not talking about y'all. There are actual albinos in Africa bro
@ken nazaryan Yes albinos are all over the world but it is usually Africans that give birth to them especially so from my observations. The black woman is the only female that is able to give birth to babies of pale skin and melanated skin. And in any case the original comment wasn't suggesting that Kabyles are albinos.
Kameelah Harper wrong the eve gene is the mitochondria gene which is found in every human it was traced back to africa there’s also a adam gene which is the oldest male gene so ur statement on the topic is wrong but since it originated in africa it’s most common for african to have albino kids
The way I see it, there's "race" and there's "ethnicity". Race is a much more broad and much more arbitrary term, and it tends to mean entire continental groups (e.g. Black African, White European, Asian etc..). It's mostly a social construct. Where as ethnicity usually comes down to single specific cultural and ancestral populations.
What you say about Africa being made up of many ethnicities, that also goes for the other racial continental groups. E.g. China alone has several ethnicities like the Han Chinese, Tibetan Chinese etc... But we still say they're Asian. Japanese and Thai look a lot different, but they still have the "Asian" look, so we say they're Asian. Irish and Swedish look different, but we still say they're "White" etc. It goes on and on.

@@adamdeburguli2867 Very true words.

Sheep lesslol Sounds like you are being forced to not call yourself an American. But rather a 2nd class citizen of it, hence why you need to say black, afro, carrib, west indie-American.

@Noah Big boyyour colour has nothing to do with your race and there're alots of dark Arabs and Indians but they're not consider black because black is not a race at all, but majority of somalis are light skin coloured naturally so we will never consider ourselves as a black because we're not people of colour and we don't define ourselves bised on our skin tone, and being Brown is not being arab/latinos or any other people as I said your colour has no relations with your race and in my family we're not in one colour all, so we somalis don't follow that idea of defining people by their skin colour
@Noah Big boy 😂😂 where did you get that statistics from? Believe me you will only see somali person claiming black on the internet only but 99% somalis will never consider them selves as the same race with other Africans it's not a racism but that unacceptable joke, we're unique and there's no one like us in Africa (at least not 100% like us ) so we're African geographically but our genes are E1b1b (somalid race) and there's no one greater than us to claim so I'm somali only and if you ask Google you will find alots of people who has our genes( E1b1b) outside Africa
well, I am from Somalia and do consider black myself. In that note, It doesn't matter how among the Africans look however, the common they share is very clear and do represent people of color . Somalis aren't mix and I am not going to explain why I look different . All blacks are not from bantu gene. All black are not dark and it is very annoying not to enjoy the uniqueness that Africans posed.

Did this dude really use Bantu and West Africans interchangeably? What joke. First of all, Bantu is a language group that's not present in West Africa and the Sahel. Bantu speakers inhabit Central, East, and South Africa. Apart from being a language group, there's not much in identifying Bantus. By the way, Pygmies are Bantu speakers in case you're unaware.
Lol @ nearly all slaves brought to the Americas being Bantu. Dude, where are your references? You don't have any because this doesn't stand up to historical scrutiny.
He is trying to change the perception of people. We are Bantu. We are African. We the ethnic minority of Africa. We are the leading tribe and the leaders of Africa. Other ethnic groups can move to Asia and Europe and we th Bantu people will immediately take over their land. We are stronger and united because we believe our ethnic identity and Africanism.
@mrbig whwhat are Bantu features
i really appreciate your video but most of west African are not Bantu, they don't even know what Bantu is. bantu people are located in central, southern Africa and a little area in southern Nigeria
Masaman true, but does that make them Bantu?
amina bantu language speakers are a dominate e1b1a progenitor but those groups are mixed with pygmy, san and Nilotic people depending on the area. west African e1b1a people are mixed with A, E1 groups. chadic speakers, berbers, and north africans are seperate.
Demarcus Mac Yes, that sounds spot on. So I suppose West Africans would be the "purest" form of Bantu. I've noticed Southern Africans are generally lighter than others, since they have considerable Khoisan admixture.

North africa has been highly affected by arabic trade so the arabs wiped a majortity of indegenous people there, though you can find the tuared people, who are 100 percent african, and they come in all shades, or the bebers, and many more. North africans are africans no matter what ethnicity they come from. unless if they are predominatly mixed with arab blood.
Very informative. I learned alot, Thank you it makes things clearer
Am East African Somalian i consider my self as black and we all are black one root
U can’t be Somali and black at the same time unless you’re Bantu (jareer) or zinji
Black is a term western europeans came up with. It's not your term
Horners Homeland that’s some dumb ass shit you just said.
Some South Indians are black, Does it mean they are Africans. Same with Somalians.
Why do people think Europeans created everything when West Asians had civilizations and incursion into Africa much longer. Even the term Sudan means Blacks. Bilad as Sudan meant "Land of the Blacks"
am East African Ethiopian I consider my self as black we all are black one Root one people one race don't divided us, we could be one we could be together
Meron Abel yes but we are not the same like tribe I'm Nigerian for me I meet a lot of Ethiopian in my life but I can't call them my brothers cause they are black but different eaven in the language Ghana language nigeria language u feel africa in Ethiopia language I feel like Arab
That's a very silly statement because all the countries are dependent on each other the same as Asia, Europe, etc. We need to root for African success no matter where we are. Unity is the key! Don't join those who seek to divide and destroy us. Change the mindset to unity and do the best you can, each one of us and we will succeed as a whole.
katana official Whites and Arabs don't see a difference among African people so why should we continue to divide. Europeans see one European white race. All Africans and African Americans need to do the same.
Carl Anderson no i have my own meaning I don't agree with ur talking
katana official what don't you agree with, we black people are always self hating on each other. I don't see white people doing it. Blacks in the middle East and North Africa are targeted. Black soccer players have bananas thrown at them by Europeans during games but we are to busy being different from one another. Arabs don't do it and neither do white people.

Blue Eyed 1.They found literally only a jaw of a Graecopithecus which is not even proven to be a hominim at all. Meaning not even related to modern human beings.
2. Finding a jaw even if it was a hominin doesnt disprove the origin of Africa theory with evidence hundreds and thousands of 6-7 million old fossils and remains found IN Africa. Also. Like really Bulgaria the origins of mankind? Greece? Lol idiot

Peaches Kong Black people are the creation of the people who classify themselves as white. As Fanon stated, black and white came into existence at the moment of imperial conquest. Neither exists without the other.
Kiluanje-Tito Diwapanga I am curious, did your ancestors refer to themselves as black?
You know, make up a category like "race" based on skull shapes, you end up with all of this nonsense. We have different facial characteristics that may or may not reflect our genetic makeup. The so-called black African "race" is actually a bunch of very different people that some ignorant Europeans decided to label as mostly one. You start with a bad premise, you end up getting into nonsense discussions about how many races of people there are on a particular continent.
bingo. Why is it that Africa is "tribal" but Europe has "ethnic groups"? An Italian and a Russian are both white but get to be different, yet us Africans are always portrayed as all the same.

It's so ironic how you then go and use the Term "European" yourself as a way to clump up hundreds of ethnic, linguistic and cultural groups together..
this is so interesting!
Love your works
When people refer to all people from Europe as "white" is to assume they're all one homogeneous ethnic group. But don't realize that Europeans are divided into major ethnic groups, with branches in those groups: Celtic, Germanic, Hellenic, Slavic, Baltic, Italic, Hispanic, Basque, Sami, Finno-Uralic, etc. Even to the point that our ethnic makeup is so diverse, our hair, skin, and eye color vary greatly, with a varying facial and body structures, even though Europeans are all Caucasoid.
Neth Köpke but yet y'all still age fast and get sunburns lol
Neth Köpke The Sami belong to the Uralic Finnic genetic group and Hispanic is an identity attributed to those who have either a linguistic and to smaller degrees cultural and genetic connection to the Spanish colonists from the colonial era.
The Spanish are Celtic-Iberian (just like the Portuguese), not at all Hispanic as North Americans know it.
Actually we do.
HOLD THAT L
But that isnt anything to be ashamed of.
The distinctions in European ethnic groups usually came at the expense of Southern and Eastern Europeans.

I think he meant ethnic groups cause literally every group he noted here has distinct subgroupings of different speaking looking tribes but what classifys each group as a different race
A lot of misinformation in this video. The Congolese don't look down upon the 'pygmy' population, and the 'pygmy' are not hunted down either.
'Bantu' is also not an ethnic group, nor is it a name that any native African person calls themselves.
And the people you call 'Bantu' do not look the same.
There are a few other things you got wrong, but I just wanted to point out those three.
I recommend that next time you make a video about African ethnic groups, talk to actual African people to get some info, as well as consult some texts written by well respected African historians and scholars. You won't get any real info from European historians.
There's already a ton of misinformation about Africa getting passed around, so it would do you good to dig carefully and consult the right people and sources.
Ohm Neh that’s a lie, Bantu is the word anthropologists use to group the peoples who originated in Cameroon/Nigerian border and spread throughout the rest of Africa and who have a language with the same root and similar culture. Hence Bantu.
And yes the Pygmy are getting hunted down in the Congo. But that’s what the Bantu did all over Africa which is why they are the most dominant ‘peoples’ on the continent.
Lonely Boy Bantu is a linguistic classification and not ethnic. And the so called Pygmy aren’t looked down on as sub human. These are all bs European writings on africa
Lonely Boy
I see you’re one of those amateur white anthropologists with your insistent on low iq and non applicable classifications. That they’re used as an ethnic classification doesn’t make it hold any water. There are not “Bantu people” or even Pygmy people. They’re not targeted because they’re Pygmy or because the Bantu are supposedly more violent. If you have evidence of this genetic violence and other nonsense post it
Everyone looks down upon pygmies, except maybe dwarfs and midgets.

I wonder how people outside of Africa are trying to divide us.. black, brown, dark wherever it doesn't matter. we all are black in one way or another. We are comfortable Of who we are..
love From east of Africa
Girl Bye! if we were so united the white man wouldn't have been able to divide and conquer us so easily! If we were so united there wouldn't have been so many tribal driven wars after independence from various colonies, I mean look at South Sudan they fought for independence for so many years from Sudan only to turn around and kill each other because what? If we were so united back in the day (like 30 - 50 years ago) our grandparents wouldn't have given our parents shit for marrying into the tribe next door, You still find this in uber-traditional families. The concept of black unity is an American thing, when one race is the status quo (in this case black), humans will find a reason to divide themselves. I love Africa more than I love myself but to say we are united because of our race is a proper joke. 500 years of white invasion has opened our eyes but not enough to unite us under one race.
Thunder fire you
cleasanna05 hehe east africa is better and north Africa where are you from
That is the thing, the so called black people are proud of who they are, and their complexions, it is the racist stereotypical people that is always trying to divide them with their lies, or trying to tell people dark as some Africans that they are Caucasian or something else, glad people are waking up and is rewriting some of their racist thinking of others and is correcting the lies! Most people in North Africa that is light skin ancestors are from other parts of the world, and were mixed with others, and is the youngest of all of the first people, just like in the Americas all mixed people are the youngest racial group, no matter how much Europeans try to act as if they have been around for thousands of years, its not true! I think a lot of countries have been brainwashed in so many ways by Westerners, or Europeans that were very ignorant and racist people in the first place, and is why people need to educate themselves more, and not listen to their ignorance of others because most of them have always been racist towards dark skin people? You seem to be very mature and have an open mind! "Keep them straight!

@@azureharris8647 what are you say? You not a Black woman?
As an African American, great video. I know Im late to the discussion but from what I have learned being "black" is simply a way of describing someone who has a lot of melanin in their body. On a continent as warm as Africa, EVERYONE (and any other warm continent or country for that matter) over time developed more melanin which in turn helped them adapt to the amount of sun and heat consumed daily. As an African American, most of our people come from Africa so naturally we inherited darker skin. Whether you choose to be considered "black" is up to you, but naturally being anywhere from a warm continent, especially Africa, you carry a lot of melanin which darkens your complexion. Society started calling everybody with any melanin "black."
A term of a word "black" is European and white American things since most of our skin colors are not black, it is different shades of BROWN skins. Our ancestors in the continent of Africa never called themselves black/negro, period. As an American of West African ancestry, I can pass to be Ethiopian/Eritrean, South Asian and South Arab/Yemeni to some people because my nose is not board or wide. Even most Habesha people from Eritrea and Ethiopia recognized me as one of them. Some of the Ethiopians didn't believe me when I told them that I'm American and they said that my skin color and I looked different from Americans of the West African descent.
@Blue17 and you didnt read....because
I said that
Why arent dark skinned south asians considered black by black folks in america
@@shiwadaay07THANK YOU, We are not “black” we are various shades of brown just like Asians and Latinos. Black is low status forced onto our ancestors and now we blindly call ourselves black. Yet nobody in African does, hmmmmm. Wonder why.
Not society..the US government..so it is political.
Wow.... Very educational!
People forget that "Africa" is a continent that has more than one ethnic group or "race" like what we find in Asia. While the stereotype that "Asians" only refer to East Asians like Chinese, Japanese, Koreans, etc... there are still Caucasians from Russia, South Asia and the Middle East. We also have Austronesians/South East Asians and even Aborigines.
We South Africans don't call ourselves black, we refer to ourselves by cultural or linguistic grouping, official forms list us as Africans which is confusing since technically everyone born on the continent would be one but the government got tired of people ticking the box labeled "other" for ethnicity and putting down African in pen on the line that follows on official forms/questionnaires. The term black is a hold over from apartheid and sometimes includes other people of non-African descent like Indians and Chinese people but always specifically excludes Europeans or people of European descent, and we use it as a term of understanding and grouping but not necessarily as one of identity. If you ask a "black" South African what they are or identify as, the answer will be a cultural group, a tribe or a clan name, if you get black as an answer then it's likely that the person you're talking to thinks that that is the answer you will understand because most of the world uses the term.
I agree with you and I'm not speaking for all but the majority of Africans do not identify as black.
You're lying. In South Africa "african" is synomous to black.That's why only black South Africans are referred to as Africans,whereas white South Africans,coloureds and Indian South Africans are never referred to as Africans.
SmartMampara 01 I’m african and no one in african refers to themselves as “black”
@@SD_M9 I'm not sure i understand what you're complaining about. The term "African" refers specifically to "black" Africans and I said as much. What I meant by "black" sometimes including non-Africans I hoped could be understood through my use of the word "Apartheid", because of this institution the definition of black in South Africa almost always requires context (which I tried to imply). For example, other non-whites are classified as black for the purposes of B.E.E (Black Economic Empowerment) and as such are eligible for benefits, I'm not sure a legal definition of black will suffice for you but it does for most people.
@@SD_M9 if you read my message carefully, I specifically make the distinction between "African" and "black". Nowhere at all do I claim that the other non-white races are African, I only suggested that they were "black" so yes, we agree that they are not African in the strictest sense. The difference between African and black seems like a distinction without a difference but our history and politics make it an important one. So go ahead and beat that straw-man all you want.
Your videos are AWESOME! I'm the type of person who likes to observe different cultures, and I love trying to figure out how our differences came to be, or why our accents develop the way that they do, and all of that sort of stuff 😊 I think that your videos are really interesting 👍

There are no bantus in west Africa. Bantu expansion was a hypothesis made by some white guy. Senegalese are also very tall people. Bantu according to white scholars is a language group not a tribe. No one looks down on pygmies they just let them be. West africa has many ethnicities and they look different from each other.
No need to discredit work done by scholars just because they are White. Also check out this source on the genocide of the Pygmy peoples. They are often hunted for sport and cannibalized by Congolese rebels. Very cruel and barbaric treatment.

Thank you @BIZOU BRAZZA. After watching this video I've understood that this guy doesn't know what he is talking about.
Edith Brady I am never comfortable of whites making narratives on Africa. #NoRespect
Totally agree with you. No one puts down pygmies or hunts them ..... Most Pygmies don't want to integrate the modern/western lifestyle which we Africans are OK with. Personally i think it's beautiful and they have the right to live as they want.
I'm starting to think the whole Bantu Migration was a lie. Example the Xhosa, who are Bantu, have almost
0% Cameroun/Congo on their DNA(WHICH IS WERE BANTUS COME FROM).I have 29% SE BANTU but from a tribe classified Bantu tribe. Also Sudanese, Somalis and Ethiopia frequently score SE Bantu on their DNA and have higher portions than myself. Some anthropologists have also claimed the so called Bantu originally came from Ancient Egypt/Nubia due to similarities in languages.
Dude. your video is soooo frigging inaccurate. stop looking at the Wikipedia page and do some real research. West Africa is not considered Bantu and that region has had civilizations that were contemporaneous though divergent from the likes of Kerma. Urbanized settlement areas and spaces have been in West Africa since 5000 to 4000 BCE. Well before Rome. Agriculture started at around 12000 BCE and reached an apex by 8000 BCE. metallurgy was present in the form of iron smelting between 1300-1200 BCE.
Keep believing your laughable black supremacist propaganda.

People in these comments have taken sooo much of what mason has said here totally out of context cus they are too sensitive and scared to have a conversation about race and diversity. Now while I do feel mason underestimates modern idealogoy of "blackness" in africa, I understand what hes getting at and its absolutely right(im black by the way). Sure in some context we may all see ourselves as "black" or afro centric or whatever. But on a deeper level there are clear cultural and sometimes racial barries that come up even amongst africans. That doesn't mean we cant be well off now but blackness is a very new and 21st century concept that never previously existed. And mason is just trying to make sure we appreciate the diversity of african people and not lump togther just to make silly points for our conspiracy theories.

There are way more races than just 3; in Europe one can easily tell apart a Pole (Slavic) from a Portuguese (Med); same in Africa - someone from Nigeria looks way different than someone from Somalia
I wouldn't call it "races." I think that's a problematic word. It's variations of a type of people. Or maybe zones? The terms Negroid and Caucasoid weren't so inaccurate but they took on loaded political terms and are too limiting. There are people between those terms so I'm fine with looking at populations. I see all these groups you mention as Euro or Euro-Asian populations. Some are Afro-Euro populations.

Naija guy west Africa is the most diverse places in the world and there are many tribes who are not fulanis that look like Somali or Ethiopian. My mother is (kru) a tribe known in Liberia and she looks Somali because she’s really dark skin with European features such as smaller pinched pointy nose, rounder small face and her hair is really curly too. You would be surprised how thousands of west Africans who aren’t fulanis or have a Berber admixture look like people from Somalia or Ethiopia and are pure Africans
Still we don't look the same you can tell a Somali from a Fulani in seconds. And a Hausa from and Ethiopian. We all got different facial charasteristics that can be easily seen. You can always see some slight differences. Maybe to an untrained eye we look the same but we can see it in the matter of seconds.
