Asking descendants of American slaves where they come from in Africa is nonsensical at this point.
It’s been nonsensical but they only do this to Black Americans. I never see this happen with Haitians, Brazilians, Bajans, or any other group with any history of displacement from the slave trade. Just because all these foreign groups want to migrate over here after we made it safe for melanated people to do so with our civil rights movement do not get to strip our identity because they’re confused about their own.
We are not African, that was a lie told to our grandparents and parents to get us to disconnect from the land. We are American Indians.

That's a general American outlook on the rest of the world though, not specifically Black American one to be fair.

The first African Americans established the oldest city in the US in 1565 (St. Augustine, FL). We've been on this landmass for a very long time.
😂😂St. Augustine, Florida is considered the oldest continuously inhabited city in the United States, founded in 1565 by Spanish admiral Pedro Menéndez de Avilés.
SHUTUP
Corrected :
Eatonville, Florida is the oldest Black-incorporated municipality in the United States, established in 1887 by 27 Black men. The town served as a symbol of freedom and autonomy for Black Floridians and other Black Southerners during the Reconstruction era
The American aborigines are now being called black/ African Americans.
@@krazyjnva2up2down55 - Sir, you might need to shut up. St. Augustine was founded by African Moors and Spanish conquistadors. Fort Mose is older than Eatonville and is the first Black community in the United States. Please stay out of Black folks' business.

I can trace my family back to 1735. Genetically I am predominately African, but culturally I'm American.

This is where I think people are getting tripped up or conflicted , rather.
Thinking you either embrace or admit to one OR the other, when really BOTH are simultaneously true.
@sylviasworld9397 That's only specific to this person. Genealogy results may vary very much for each Black American. Black Americans who trace their ancestry using Genealogy aren't confused about who they are.

People tend to dismiss the fact that Black Americans have been here for over 6 generations. Like us saying we’re American isn’t accurate.
You mean (14 generations) the 1600s.......6 generations is only to 1860-70.
6 generations is a great grandparent that is NOTHING. Black Americans go back 14 generations and more

As a Black American who does genealogy, these conversations are hilariously infuriating. They always claim we don't know where we're from. When, most of their current colonized countries are younger than my parents.
We are well documented and can call our ancestors by name and location to 1860, for most. I got one on the 1790 census. The 1st census of the U.S.
I got a documented Union soldier and I probably have more that I haven't found.
Let's not discount our indigenous roots, either.
Stop playin with us 🤣🤣
That's why they identify by tribe i.e. Yoruba, Nigerian, alot of African Americans have Igbo, Nigerian dna
Black American here. How can I trace my ancestry/census?
While not leaving out indigenous admixture we gotta highlight that our African and indigenous ancestors where two distinct people and black people was not here prior to slavery other than that hell yea the roots go farther on paper than Nigerians
@Jedi_Black start with your parents and work your way back. Census are made public here 72 years. The most recent census that was released is 1950. If you know where your folks were in 1950, start there and work your way back. The census is always fully accurate because sometimes they got info from a neighbor. Also, look into birth, death, marriage, divorce, and tax records. I use ancestry a lot but there are alot of place thay aren't digitized. You have to where they keep their records. I live in CA, I had yo git to AL and MS for a lot of my records. I hope that helps. I don't always check the notifications over here. Message me on tiktok if you need some help.
Okay I've seen with you guys you don't understand what we mean by you don't know...... what I can say is its important to us but maybe not to u... I will try to briefly explain.... I'm Zimbabwean nd shona we trace our lineage back to even before we entered zimbabwe.... for example we r shona [tribe of bantu tribes in zimbabwe] in that tribe I'm Rozvi my totem moyo, this was done so we don't inter marry..... nd before that we were part of the Mutapa empire ..... before that we were different tribes with our chiefs before that we cake from the North nd settled in Tanzania to us we call it Tanganyika the start of a nation nd our language shona is similar to swahili not the same so there is the proof... after tanzania we continued south to zimbabwe .... in the expansion to extend mutapa some of our militants spread around southern africa we called them Karanga there r now called kalanga in South africa and Botswana basically they know and we know its oral history passed down so for us it's not 6 generations but thousands of years with archaeological proof... il tell u this there is another tribe of shona that r black isrelites they trace their journey from the middle east to down south still keep the traditions have kept them before the white man landed in Africa. I could write a book.

And yet somehow you’re triggered….
Bruh, the US became a country in 1776. We were already here for centuries going back to when this was just a colony. There has been a continuous Black presence in the Americas since the 1500s. Ethnogenisis is the birth of a new ethnic group and that's what happened with us. My African mix is not found in nor does it originate on the continent of Africa or in one country or from one people, my DNA proves that. I cant point to one country outside of the United states and claim it as my country of origin. We are a blend west and central African people with varying degrees of European and indigenous American mixed in. That took place HERE meaning we are FROM HERE... We created a culture that is native to the Americas. We arent a lost people we are a new people native to the Americas. My dna shows that I’m linked to black American in the Carolina and Virginia because we’ve been here a half a millennia mixing and mingling. The problem is ppl don’t think of the US as a real country, it’s somehow made up or not real and is thought of as a land of immigrants when there are ppl like Black Americans whose family history is the history of America and predate the founding of new American countries like the USA, Canada and all of the Latin American and Caribbean countries. It’s actually quite disrespectful and dismissive of our history and culture. That’s part of the reason why ppl see no issue taking from our culture and disrespecting us at the same time.

The rest of the world not knowing how our ancestors identity was stripped during slavery is making me so mad. They really don’t know the magnitude of how bad slavery was.
Slavery is evil and the worst injustice ever done to humanity. However, the issue I have with so-called Black Americans is always looking for minor problems to antagonize other Blacks who are not Black Americans.
U dnt know how bad colonization was either i dunno y blk Americans think we have to care bout them u are not the blks in the world

@@NovemberReigne okay, I'm not sure who that is... I've not seen that episode. In all fairness, 'Adonis' doesn't seem to be too fond of 'UK Blacks' on observation, and unfortunately seems to only speak to those who are young who are not interested in knowledge of self/history or general knowledge etc, as opposed to speaking to a more mature crowd who may have more wisdom on things from the previous generations, 90s, 80s and 70s etc, like 2nd & 3rd generation Windrush folk. But maybe it's created just for entertainment purposes only. No one should be unnecessarily rude to anyone re: the man in the episode you're speaking about
Great conversation, I believe many Africans don't know that many of us have been here before the 400 slaves came here! And that's why many of us don't classify ourselves as Africans.
it's not "you" it's one of your ancestor , and you have more african slave ancestor than the rest
So u guy are tobe not kenta kunte
Yet you blame Africans for the slave trade. Some of yall don't classify as Africans simply because you don't want to be associated w Africa. And a lot of yall do, in fact, classify as Africans and are more africentric than African immigrants.
@@josephdesouse4320 No, the point is there are no pale skinned indigenous humans. The original Mexicans are black, and the original Americans are black.
Because you can't prove you have
The difference is that African Americans are descended from Akan (Ghana), Igbo (Nigeria), Ewe (Ghana/Togo), Yoruba (Nigeria), Bakongo (Congo), Wolof (Senegambia) Etc…
We are not wholly separate or divorced from the subsaharan African ancestors, who are our Nth great forefathers and foremothers.
And neither is our African American culture. It has very real connections, very real roots in the African cultures, in which our African Ancestors were taken from.
Also, genetically, very few African Americans have significant, if any Native/indigenous American Ancestry. Having significant indigenous Native American ancestry does not apply to most of us.
I really wish that we were as interested in/Obsessed with dissecting and educating ourselves on the African roots/retentions of our African American culture (and genetics), as we are with upholding this ideal of a “Black American only” identity.
I’m not arguing for pan-Africanism, here. I’m arguing for better education (and self directed education).
So the lie that very few Black Americans have Native Ancestry is one that continues to propgate because of a misnomer from Skip Gates. Especially when there are Black Americans who's family has been classified and reclassified numerous times. It doesn't even make sense from a cultural anthropological purview but that is a discussion for another day.
One of the BIGGEST problems with your statement is that you clearly come from a school of though that romanticizes the continent and continental connections and does not expect Black Americans to deal with the reality that Africans were selling other Africans from different tribes to Europenas for CENTURIES into chattle slavery because they did not see each other as the same people nor did any groups across the globe because RACE was not a concept and ETHNICITY was the driving factor of identity. Which means the two Africans right next to each other didn't see themselves as the same but SOMEHOW an amalgamated people who experienced HALF A MILLENIA of ethnogenesis, are thousands of miles and centuries of culture and history removed are now the same as those on the continent??
If Black Americans are not interested in morphing their identity with the slave BUYERS who's blood they have why would the slave SELLERS who's blood they also have be any different? Why are we cannonizing groups who performed forgetfulness rituals to ensure that neither our ancestors nor their ddescendants returned to avenge their betrayal? Why are we trying to infantalize the continent and lioninze it at the same time when it comes to The transAtlantic Slave trade and accountability?
The expectation that Black Americans obsolve Africans and hold Euopeans accountble is absurd. The shame associated with acknowledging African participation in the slave trade, a shame that is NOT ours BTW, is what led to the Black leaders of the day like Richard Wright stopping the publishing of Zora Neal Hurston's book "BARRACCON" from seeing the light of day for 80+ years. Having a first hand account of the savagery of the Dahomey Female Slave traders from one of their living victims Cudjo Lewis made this romanticinzed narrative impossible and they were also afraind that whites would use it to obsolve themselves of their own demonic crimes against us. Noboy should be let of the hook and we need to see our history for what it actually is, The idea that Black Americans obsolve red natives who also participated in our enslavement and who's blood MANY of us do in fact carry is also absurd.
Black Americans get to be BLACK AMERiCANS just like Jamaicans get to be Jamaicans, Bajans get to be Bajans and Trinis get to be Trinis. We don't pretend the Chinese and Japanese are the same and ask them to go back to their ancient origins to the San people in South Africa but in order for everybody to attach themseelves to what we;ve done this is what Black Americans hear. The problem is because Black Americans researched and explored and created academia acknowledging our ties to the continent and folks saw that as an excuse to ERASE our unique ethnic identity in OUR COUNTRY and are now uncomfortable that we are pushing back. Folks write think pieces about US because of what we have accomplished in the world despite the centuries of trauma and want us to be the ONLY group in the Diaspora that doesn't claim our country proudly. That doesn't work for Black Americans that know their legacy. A legacy EVERYBODY ELSE gets to run here and eat off of while simultaneously disrespectig it.
This is the best response i have seen so far.
There’s always that high iq comment that everyone intentionally brush past. This would be it.

I've seen and met actual Native American people. They are not Black. Some Black Americans may have admixtures with native Americans, of course, but please don't try to steal their identity and eclipse their existence.
Native Americans also have their own heritage, languages and cultures which are SPECIFIC to them and it's not hip hop or ebonics, dear.
Oh Brother …
@@sylviasworld9397 Exactly, you met Native Americans not Indigenous Americans. Native Americans came from Asia, Europe, and other countries. The indigenous Americans were here prior to the Native American groups. Many indigenous Americans were forced into slavery and forced to reclassify themselves as negro, black, coloured, mulatto, etc. Descendants of Afro Indigenous communities don't have to steal from Native Americans. We're not the ones leeching off of other people and their cultures. It's exactly why the entire world is trying to act like Afro Indigenous aka Black Americans. Our culture is more diverse than hip hop. You would not be able to get on your phone if it wasn't for a black American who invented and patented the phone. Anything we create is part of our culture.

Adonis, Africans that migrate to the USA and their children that are born here aren't African American. This guy and his children would forever be Nigerian American if he became a citizen.
We Black Americans have been called African American since the 1700s. As you know, we have been reclassified many times. Black Indigenous people of the USA were also classified as NEGRO/BLACK. Remember African American whether we like it or not is connected to OUR ancestors not his.
Africans in the USA are not African American. They're Somalian American, Nigerian American, Ghanaian American, etc.
Last, but not least, let's not forget that we have gone through an ethnogenesis that have made us a new people. Black Americans have DNA from 5-6 continents. All of our stories are different because of this. That's the beauty of being Black American. Black Americans are amalgamated people.

We were not called African Americans until the 1960s, then adopted the term Black Americans in the 90's. They only continually change it because they know who we are and they do not want us to take our land back, like all the other countries.

This argument is like the Chinese jamican, saying they are not Chinese, because they are Jamaicans and their ancestors goes a long way back in living in Jamaica. Indians in Trinidad feels the same way. But they are both right they are Jamaicans, and Trinidadians, but they are both from Chinese and Indian descendants. Just like the black people in both countries are of African descendants. Your nationality is of who you are. This is represented by the country in which you were born in. You can also obtain nationality from the same country by having citizenship of the country in which you choose to reside in if granted. Chinese or negro your nationality is not your descendants unless you wear born in the same countries as your Chinese, or Indian or African descendants.

As an African, I have always felt bad to what has happened to our fellow Africans during the Transatlantic slave trade. Unfortunately they have lost touch with their culture and roots in a span of 400 years.
400 years later it's extremely ignorant to say that Africans don't have a history. We know who we are, we are proud of our kingdoms and cultures , and most of us trace our lineages way before the 1600.
We should cherish our cultural differences, and try to bridge the gap, instead of making content online for the main purpose of putting each other down.
A lot of Africans keep dragging this conversation as if they cant comprehend that the people their ancestors mostly sold were stripped of all African culture once they arrived to their slavery destination. They even purposely separated people from the same tribes so they dont speak in their language. How are people going to pass down family and cultural information in those conditions? Few did but not many. The US whites who were mostly British had little to no acceptance of African culture and villainized it terribly. Other Europeans like Spanish and Portuguese allowed for a bit more cultural retention. Also enslaved families were often separated so a young child sold away may not have gotten the chance to learn their family history.
If you want people to accept that you can trace your lineage thru oral history by 400+ years then you have to accept that they cant trace their ancestors other than the ones in America.
let him speak and get on with his day DAMN🤣
Very good video and mature. Maturity is what turns this so called 'diaspora war' into very important and much needed conversations that will actually heal us around the globe.
Lemme help you Adonis i work in immunology and we do blood matching for stem cells. WE SPECIFICALLY can pinpoint black Americans and black ppl groups . At the DNA LEVEL. we specifically are amalgamation of Western African, indigenous and Western European. We are a NEW ppl group. Not bc of immigration but MISCEGENATION.
Adonis went to the school of Yvette Carmel & Antonio Moore, “WHO YOU”
Your breakdowns are top tier. Keep doing the good work! 🙏🏾
NO RACE IS A MONOLITH - WHITE, BLACK, ASIAN, OR ETC.
White ethnicities: English, Irish, Scottish, Italian, Romanian, German, etc.
Black ethnicities: Black Americans, Aboriginie, Brazilian, Hatians, Jamaicans, etc.
Asian ethnicities: Chinese, Japanese, Koreans, Thai, Vietnam, Cambodia, etc.
African tribes/ethnicities: Akan, Dahomey, Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa, Wolof, Somali, etc.
Polynesian ethnicities: Samoan, Tongan, Hawaii, Etc.
Native Americans: Apache, Navajo, Cherokee, Pawnee, etc.
Can't argue with the American gentleman they seem to have a more definitive history going back at least 400 year's with their documented census. .
You’re a really passionate brother. Your engagement is really good will be watching much more . Thank you ✊🏾
Probably my favorite video that you put out so far. Cool guy, good conversation but you really gotta let him speak and let him finish. He would try to say something and you would jump in to prove your point. He’s your guest, he should speak without being interrupted.
This!
Because he wanted to win every conversation. Whenever it's not going his way instead of learning or take sole corrections he will cut them short by jumping in.
He should get more education and speak with proffessors of black history there in the UK.
This was probably one of Adonis’ best videos 🔥 . And the guy he interviewed did a great job as well 👏🏾👏🏾

Black Americans are 14 generation's in North America/U.S. - They have multiple ancestry they can Not pinpoint 1 specific group of people or tribes
@funkybluestuff5519 More like 24 generations in the USA. Otherwise, I agree!
I just wanted to share this with you…many of the African American lineages are grouped into larger groups of lineages called haplogroups. Y-DNA haplogroups most commonly found in Africa include A, B and E, as well as subgroups of other haplogroups.
So we can actually go back to where we were taken from in Africa. I’m Charleston, SC apart of the Gullah Geechee culture. Most of our ancestors were descendants of these African communities across the diaspora the have been shown genetic admixtures from Central West Africa, Senegal, Ivory Coast, Ghana, Sierra Leone, and Bights of Benin & Biafra. So we can go further back even with this information too
Exactly but they seem to think there was nothing before America
This was a good interview! Marvelous seems like a good dude!
let the man talk. What type of interviewer is this
Racially I’m black, nationally I’m American, culturally I’m American my ancestors were African. He is racially black nationally British, culturally British, ancestry is Nigerian
if your ancestors are african what countries in africa are they from?
@sonyahathaway9753 well said👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Ur not African
Not gon lie I learned some shit here today
This is beautiful bro. I could fuckin cry
My brothers took their DNA, and our paternal DNA says we're Igbo Nigerian. We've been here since 1700s. Am I still Nigerian?
Listen the guy interview is mixed race he is not real black am understand him
You should look up the guy who send his dog saliva to a dna lab and it said he was from nigeria hahaha I have Arab and white friends who took a dna test and they also had Nigerian blood line lol

I love these videos bro as a Black Brit. Keep them up, they are very entertaining and educational.
Please introduce these ppl with this POV to the word Ethnogenesis and tell them the definition. Our enthongenesis began 500 years ago when different Africans from different cultures and regions were forced to live together and speak a new language and develop a new culture and eventually blended together. I’d also like to add that the countries these people claim in Africa weren’t even unified countries when we were taken. They would’ve have known what Nigeria, Ghana or any of these counties were because they didn’t even exist yet. How are you Nigerian but I can say I’m American when Nigeria only been a country since 1900?
Also, they need to have their own conversations about who they are because anytime a continent practiced enslavement, been pillaged and ravaged by war for hundreds of years they get moved around also. A-lot of those African ethnicities (or tribes) are not native to the countries they live in now; that’s why they are referred to as SubSaharan now although they all were not native to the subsaharan. Their DNA test are showing these facts too.
I don't see the relevance of the argument that Nigeria wasn't even named as such, or that your lineage in the US goes back 500 years unless you are related to the 2% of Americans of native-American lineage, otherwise you are not native Americans. It matters not that you don't know which part of the African continent your family originally came from, your origins are still from there. What have censuses got to do with that? That is the issue many here have with the claim.
@@OldWolflad it’s relevant because it’s true. Facts don’t care about your opinion or feelings. I think that until people respect this fact then many are going to continue to take an issue. This issue is with them and not the truth of what I’ve said. If people can proudly proclaim pride in belonging to countries in African that were established in the 1800s during the Berlin Conference and that be respected then people should also respect the fact that there are people outside of Africa who descend from multiple distinct African ethnic groups forced together who intermixed over centuries and developed a new shared culture, history, language and genetic admixture. That makes us a new and distinct ethnic group. I’ve taken the DNA test, i can’t claim one group in central or Western Africa because we are a blend of so many. That blend didn’t take place on the continent therefore our African mixture is native to the Americas. This shouldn’t be controversial. 1+1=2
@@tylineburgos8879just because your DnA cannot be traced back to any specific African country doesn’t negate the fact that most black peoples DNa lineage does originate from Africa. Of course over a few centuries people mix and lineage becomes diluted. But it is not a fact that this makes your DNA American.
@@OldWolflad you’re misunderstanding the reason for me bringing up DNA. The mix happened here therefore it’s native to this land.. you’re not gonna give a person a dna test on the continent and get the same mixture because our combo is an american combo. Never once have I said my race was anything but what it is. My ethnicity however does not originate in Africa even if [most of] my ancestors do. What birthed our ethnic group is the transatlatic slave trade and our history in the Americas. Our ethnicity is native to the Americas not to the continent of Africa. This is not to mention the varying degrees of European admixture within the black American community. My grandmothers family is from Virginia and they’re all fair. She has two “black American parents and 4 grandparents and yet her DNA is 49% European because their community was mixed and continued to marry other mixed ppl. There are some in our ethnic group who are more Europeans biologically than African but they’re still black Americans ethnically. That’s not the case with me or every black American, I’m 88% African and there is a wide range amongst us depending on the region. My father’s family is Gullah/geechee and my mom decends from mixed race free ppl of color in Virginia. Our history is our history. Why can’t we simply embrace who we are and how we came to be without being shamed for it or accused of trying to be anything but what we are and who we are… ppl online always project a false shame in being African or of African descent whenever we try to acknowledge our history and culture. There’s no shame or denial but there is a desire to be acknowledged and respected for who we are. Our ethnicity is just as valid as the Yoruba, or the Akan all of whom have an origin story aka ethnogenesis
You sound like a nice person bro. Blessings to you King. Stay positive, blessed,and happy. Maybe later on in life i might run into u somewhere, connect, become friends and share testimonies and stories. Im always ready to meet/connect with people

Thank you for having so much passion regarding US Indigenous Americans. Our Culture is specific and unique. We should All be respected for who we Are. We give that to everyone yet, we are not given the same acceptance (which is also part of our culture that distinguishes us from others) ... The frustrating part is when they disrespect while cosplaying us. lol Anyway, Peace to Everyone
My question to my black American brothers and sisters.
As an American, do you feel that you have more in common with a white Americans than you do than other black folks that aren’t from America?
Curious question
I'm black American. I tend to relate more to carribeans than I do west African immigrants. Probably because of carribeans culture to black American culture especially within the last few decades. It depends really
Yes we definitely have more in common with white Americans than we do with any random person from a different country.
@@williamloud7350 glad to know, atleast now we can draw the line instead of trying to get along :)
@@Liampeters248 I can get along with anybody of any ethnic group. I don't see the reason to pretend that we are culturally similar to a random person from Timbuktu. That just isn't true.
@@williamloud7350 no one’s pretending bro but it’s alright to acknowledge one another with respect and dignity. All these videos on UA-cam literally AA vs Africans, I’m very confident that other races are more discriminative to AA’s in the states than Africans. If anything we sympathise for AA’s but it’s also good to acknowledge that life in Africa in comparison to America is very different.
Do you know what it’s like to finally get an opportunity to make something of yourself nor your blood line? Most Africans mind their business because they’ve been given a once in a lifetime opportunity. It’s literally equivalent to brothers getting drafted in the league bro so they ain’t got time for distraction,
I’d also say by nature Africans are quite people who mind their business and I’m sure when certain events in the states happen, AA’s say Africans don’t care nor or are sell outs, where as AA’s forget that Africans don’t have the confidence to speak or stand up, they’d rather keep quite and keep moving. Best way to defeat ignorance is to not pay attention to it
Well you definitely have a lookalike tribe in the Bay Area, nephew!!! 😂❤✊🏾🙏🏾
It’s almost as if some black Americans don’t like to be associated with Africa, it’s particularly black Americans, they love the American identity so much, the Chinese just recently traced there origin back to Africa, how much more a black person in America?🤷🏽♂️ carry with you what ever label you want to carry but remember African was born in you, you were not born in Africa ✊🏾
🧐I sometimes feel they would prefer to be labelled Americans instead of African Americans. The only people that can change that are the USA lawmakers !
Tell that to the dark skinned 🇮🇳s
Because we don’t speak any African languages , never been there , don’t eat African food, don’t practice African culture , yes we have African dna but our ancestors were slaves who lived in America since wen so why would I say I’m African ?? I fw yall tho but we are black American which is soulaan we built a culture within America.
@@user-cv1zk6sd2oI don't speak any African languages either. Depending on where the British guy in the video is from, he may also not speak his parents language.
I do eat food from African countries (Nigeria, Ghana , Ethiopia, Uganda, Kenya etc but also , Indian, Chinese, Jamaican etc.
It makes no effect on my DNA though. If I have an ancestry test those countries won't show up unless I have ancestry from there.
If you have ancestry from African countries they will show up in your ancestry results whether you indulge in the food, culture or not.
The US may not, though.
Does it mean your legitimate claim to the country you are in is invalidated, of course not but both are true. Your origin and your current identity.
A White American with German ancestry may say the EXACT same thing as you though.
Why would we we we were told that yall sold us.
The main distinction is that British black culture is influenced by African and Caribbean roots.
American black culture evolved on its own in the face of slavery, and continuing inequality.
Great job my FBA brother! Great conversation and breakdown of FBA history and culture!
As African from Congo DRC, I can promise y'all only Nigerian and Ghanaian care about black American claim Africa , I don't know cause 1 billion of us in Africa don't care about y'all lineage etc y'all can be wherever you want real African people don't care like Ethiopia, somalia, Morocco etc,, we clearly don't care 🙌👏

@@kizz9391 I have tons of videos with grow men you are just not watching the full videos
The question is at what point did African Americans stop being African. The only difference between these two people is that one person’s family was forcibly moved from Africa and one person’s family chose to leave Africa. The interviewer is telling the truth about African-Americans building America, but it doesn’t negate the fact that at some point, his family came from Africa. This is why he skipped over the part when the gentleman asked him where his family was in the 16 or 1500s. African-Americans definitely have their own culture, but a lot of that culture is something that we brought with us to America.
He’s British
U are what raise u
His Nigerian parents raised him. He said it in the video.
I could’ve sworn he said his Nigerian parents raised him.
He is Black British with Nigerian heritage, or British-Nigerian
We straddle two worlds and cultures. We identify with all that we are born from and in us. It's our factual reality and we don't fight it but rather embrace it.
I wish the conversation of why the vast majority of AA don't know where there heritage. We not talking about how the enslaved literally stripped our ancestors of their language and culture. AA culture is the culmination of all the Africans who lost their culture from the various tribes (for lack of a better word)
1000% agree. its not like we chose to not know where we come from
@matt52sayow Not to mention, a lot of those islanders were dropped off at those islands before the boat came to America. So what African country are their people from?
This is why I say he chooses uneducated people to have these conversations with. Because anyone with the slightest bit of education would know that during slavery, African countries did not exist. There were empires, kingdoms, territories but no countries. It’s ridiculous to think that a brutally enslaved people would know exactly where they come from in Africa. This is why I find him intellectually dishonest. These conversations should be had with people who are knowledgeable on the subject
African Americans scientifically have a DNA phenotype that is unique. Take me for instance. My DNA is a mixture of Nigerian, Ivory Coast, Cameroon , Mali, Senegal and about 10 percent mixture of European and Scandinavian. Most black Americana have a similar mixture.i have found documented evidence imy ancestors dating back to 1700s in America. This includes the white men on both sides of my family that had children with their likely enslaved women 175 years ago. So when u say “dont know” we know or can fond out to a certain extent
@@n.e9364he said exactly what u just said. I dont understand how he was dishonest. Almost verbatim he said how African countries were arbitrarily drawn and named. Zimbabwe at one time i believe was called Rhodesia after Cecil Rhodea. The notorious British explorer who basically called black people apes incapable of of creating structures like the Great Zimbabwe.
I'm a US citizen and I don't know where my ancestors are from. There may be telltale signs but I don't know the actual region. That was many, many generations ago. I do know where myself and my family are from in the USA. Our heritage is here. Why do people in other countries care so much? As Americans our ethnicities are everywhere, we're a melting pot. People don't need to get so pressed about it. We don't care where you all originated from, why do you care so much about us?

They don't even have to say the word "Africa" .
In fact that word alone tells you very little.
If you say Ashanti, Ewe, Zulu, Xhosa, Yoruba, Igbo, Fulani.....You've already been told a whole lot about that person's heritage and culture.
White people did not come up with those names/titles. Which I think was the point being made.
They not like us is an understatement ✊🏾💪🏾
I wouldn't mind seeing y'all sit down and expound on this topic more. Maybe with a visual aide too to help the slow people.
This would be such a great idea what did you like the most from this ?
This is an important conversation.
I mean having documents because yall were brought n sold don't make u greater the fact African didnt need papars is the true sign of freedom imo
Africa controls NOTHING on the continent and Europeans and Asians control their economy. European Languages are the OFFICIAL languages of these countries and their names and borders were also created by Europens. And although they outnumber Europeans in the BILLIONS they have been dominanted by them because of greed tribalism and corruption. You need to READ a book cause this asinine fantasy of FREEDOM when their children are losing arms and legs in mines digging for European companies is embarrassingly stupid.
Exactly, why would you need papers to show you are Igbo, Ashanti or Yoruba?
You don't need a document to tell you that you are male or female.
Finally an intelligent conversation
This is wild wrong breh from another articulate African American bro. No matter how many generations removed from your land you get, your HERITAGE is always Nigerian. Ethnically you are always and will always be nigerian. Culturally you will have semblances of both British and Nigerian culture, but the ONLY thing that changes that many generations down is Nationality. Which means nothing. That is why there are White Africans who have european ancestry. Clearly define what you mean as you cannot lump all of this together. We are AFRICAN heritage wise, ethnically. Culturally we are African American, as we have our own distinct culture. Our Nationality is only american due to where we were born and which nation claims you as a citizen.
Nah, he’s right. After five generations of being born and raised in foreign country (less than 1% of the population) and culture where it is not dominate each generation loses their authentic cultural practices, languages etc because there is no place to foster it being a minority. The children with will be ethnically Black British of distance Nigerian heritage. Nigerians are people who foster their cultural practices everyday as a dominate culture in their country and maybe 2nd generation abroad. After 5 generations in the UK statistically it’s probable that most of these children will be bi-racial of a few European (English, Irish, Scottish, Welsh, Saxon, Jute, etc.) ethnicities. That’s why it’s important when migrating to consider what the end game is is because the first thing when procreating in foreign country as a minority it’s pretty much guaranteed that the bloodline is interrupted with a new ethnicity not just nationality.
@@foreverfly3113 This is lazy lol. There are African places of business, worship, and leisure everywhere. Im in the middle of Los Angeles and we have a whole ass little Ethiopia so kill that.

@@flysquared You’re loud and wrong! What’s lazy is your one-sided narrative of a state and country that predate your arrival and your (you) personal existence. I’m from California one side of my family been in Northern California since the 1930’s and the other side been Southern California since the late 1800’s. My family are not immigrants. Immigrants come to California in waves and Black Americans are the minority population in the state (currently 4th) about 5%. Just because y’all live in a bubble once you come out of it there is nothing fostering your culture and you know that. Which public or college teach your language? NONE. But they teach European and Asian languages; not one African language. Do the majority population know any of your cultural practices? NO. In the state of California and Los Angeles what is Ethiopia’s population percentages? You are in denial. The only reason why Californians are familiar with Foundational Black American culture is because we predate the history of the state and this country and carry the culture with us everywhere we go and if it happens to the majority populations and FBAs it’s happening to y’all now. So you can stand on what you want but you’re in denial. You talking about churches and restaurants and a community like Black folks never had these things in LA. Yes, you’ll have a community put pretty soon it will be a majority mixed heritage of mixed race or ethnic populace which is not 100% Ethiopian and for you to think people immigrating into a mixed race multi ethnic country and think they are going to stay racially or ethnically pure more than two generations is asinine.

No American is going to say they don’t know when asked about their fucking parents 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
?? That makes no sense. This host goes through London to actually dissect why Black British people have against Americans. Yes there is different cultures but down the line we ARE the same. Question, two people get stoped by the police, do you think they’ll start to say ‘oh, his American, he ain’t like those Africans’ or ‘Ooh! Africans they are nothing like African Americans’ that’s rubbish. Your colour is something no matter will get picked up on.
Just wanted to add some points here about the topic around 15:00. I don't know how it works in Nigeria but in South Africa we can trace our families lineages through decades because surnames came from clan names. Obviously it gets murky the further back you got but so does most history. Also all of Britains colonies helped build and fight for Britian so we did also contribute and not just migrated.
