African Americans are the culture. Dominating The globe with soft power.

[00:00:00]What's going on everybody? It's Afro Think Tank. Today we're going to talk about how African-Americans have the most dominant culture in the world and how African-Americans are the culture and we are the foundation for the emerging world culture. As the world gets smaller and smaller and as the internet and the ability to travel quickly between uh continents makes it so we interact even further. And as we intermingle with different groups and we get to participate in their cultures and they get to participate in our culture, whatever culture galvanizes the most wins. Now, the difference between AfricanAmerican culture and white American culture because we're going to use these two cultures because they are the baseline for world popularity. Right? Now, white culture in America is a forced culture. Right?

[00:01:13]We know that white culture is one of oppression and racism and domination, war and various different things like that and and mayonnaise, right? One of the best things they ever created, right? Mayonnaise. Let's just keep that real. All right.

[00:01:30]And you know that culture that that that uh white American culture, its root is European culture. So, white Americans who have a hybrid European culture had a modified European culture in America, the American white culture is dominant amongst, you know, Europeans and other people who worship whiteness, right? But usually that worship of whiteness is forced or is because of learn propaganda, right?

[00:02:11]Now, black culture on the other hand is culture that spreads around the world without force.

[00:02:19]It spreads around the world without it being propagandized, right? To our benefit because our culture have been propagandized against our benefit obviously. But even that's not good enough to dispel other groups of people from resonating with our culture, right? And when you compare our culture, AfricanAmerican culture, which is just African culture, because if we parse apart every aspect of African-American culture, food, dance, religious plaque practices, family structure, if we break all that down and how we practice as African-Americans, every single element that we call African-American culture, its root can be found in Africa.

[00:03:09]being practiced the exact same way or sometimes an original way, right? Not a lesser way but an original way. So even us, the dominant soft powered culture on the planet cuz our culture dominates. We have the most soft power on the planet.

[00:03:29]Soft power is power that you that you can project without killing. Soft power is power that you have without force.

[00:03:38]You know, for instance, white people force people to comply.

[00:03:43]White people [snorts] force people to assimilate.

[00:03:48]Black people, we don't force people to comply. We don't force people to assimilate. They see it resonate and they want to on their own by their own power by their own reasoning they want to assimilate to ours. They want to participate in our you see African-Americans we never project our culture onto other people. We simply practice our culture and people observe us practicing our culture. They resonate with it and then they practice it. Now, one thing about our culture as African-Americans, and this is something that we do get from different African cultures, we have always been known to express ourselves in the most eccentric and loud way possible because we are in fact the spirit. And the spirit is not regulated by silence. Spirit is loud. It's bright.

[00:04:52]If you notice some of the tropes they have about African people, and it doesn't matter which African it is.

[00:04:58]African-Americans, oh, you guys are too loud. You guys are always loud.

[00:05:01]Dominicans, oh, they're so loud. They're too loud. Caribbeans, oh, you guys are so loud. You guys are too loud.

[00:05:07]Africans, oh, you guys are so loud.

[00:05:09]You're too loud. You see, black people in general, we're loud because God, our ancestors nature gave us these voices to scream to the mountain tops. That's what we do. We're not meek meager people who don't express ourselves. There are other cultures out here who has created a culture of silence, silent compliance.

[00:05:33]They stay quiet.

[00:05:35]Now those those cultures have a hard time fighting against a system that's unfair.

[00:05:44]And because of that, the carefully curated culture of a lot of Asian cultures and a lot of European cultures has made it so that the powers that be via culture can keep the masses silent because it's the cultural practice to stay silent and that was forced upon them by their own people via death and destruction.

[00:06:06]Right? But on the other hand, African culture, it encourages the individual and the groups to be loud, to extend themselves, to express themselves in its in and our full can total spiritual breath.

[00:06:23]And the thing is as human beings, cuz we're all humans, right? And every different race belongs to African people. They are our children.

[00:06:32]Therefore, they inherently have desires as human beings that we have, right? But unfortunately, the culture they have manifested doesn't allow them to do so.

[00:06:44]For instance, Korean culture, Chinese culture, Japanese culture, it the culture itself restricts expression to the point to where people are having psychological and mental breakdowns because they're not allowed to express themselves fully the way they would like. Their culture is not built that direction. Their culture quiet, silence, usually geared towards allowing men to do what they want to do and get away with it. At the end of the day, cultures created by those men strong enough to force it or to spread it and to share it. And women usually comply with the culture because obviously they for the most part throughout human history they have been subservient to the man. Right?

[00:07:30]Africa also a part of our culture is that we treat our women differently.

[00:07:36]We don't if you take out the outside influences of Islam and Christianity, right? African culture allows the woman, even though she may be physically weaker, but spiritually she is just as strong as that man. Therefore, their opinions and their ability to um to organize have always been utilized by their counterparts, the male, and they've always been seen as equal, even though they have a different role, never subservient, in most cases. We can't say all, right?

[00:08:12]But in general, Africans usually respect and honor their female as a lot of our culture is very is female-based. It doesn't mean that men are not the leaders. It just means that men have always appreciated what it is that women do for society. We appreciate the woman who can bring forth life and we view them as precious. Right? We have many different traditions in African culture.

[00:08:37]One is shaking our asses. All right? One is singing. One is rapping rhythmic to a beat. The grio have been rapping for thousands of years. We African-Americans call it hip-hop now.

[00:08:49]But all the elements of hip-hop has been in African society for thousands upon thousands of years, tens of thousands of years. Even our hairstyles, the finger waves, the Egyptians was rocking waves, having wave competitions. The Egyptians was rocking cornrows and braids. All West Africans dreadlocks. Nigerians been wearing dreadlocks for thousands of years. That's a sign of a warrior.

[00:09:15]Cornrows.

[00:09:17]The hairstyles when men are wearing them, that's also a a sign of a warrior in Nigeria. So Nigerian warriors, the ancient warriors would wear dreadlocks and cornrows to battle. Long hair was a sign of strength for a man, a sign of his warrior prowess. Everybody couldn't just wear those. That's what it meant, right? And so our power as African-Americans is a manifestation of the greatest Africa had to offer at the time. as the people who were taken into the transatlant transatlantic slave trade were some of the most capable Africans in the continent. They didn't just pick random for the most part. They knew exactly what they were doing because they needed specialty workers to work over here. You know, we were already experts at agriculture and and and meting and and and and carpentry and stonework and various other things that we have given to the European that they currently take credit for these here in United States, including medicine because the first vaccines that was Africans teaching Europeans how to vaccinate themselves. We are the ones who invented we've been vaccinating ourselves for thousands of years. We white people noticed that we were vaccinating ourselves and then they started the vaccination thing after they got it from us. We are the inventors of even the vaccination which the entire world has been there's there's millions of people who are alive whose whose bloodlines would not be here right now if it wasn't for Africans and their practice of vaccination because we've been here longer than everybody else.

[00:10:50]It's just the truth, right? So what I want to show you guys is that African-Americans specifically, but continental Africans in all if it's totality, all Africans is totality from the Caribbeans, Afro Latino, even all of Latin, all of Latin culture is African culture. All of it because they don't practice their Native American culture because they're ashamed of it. They practice African culture while trying to be white. That's what they do. Even remember that song, uh, we will vote for Donald Trump. D. What made that so offensive to me on top of everything else is they were using African music that they got from Africans to promote and honor a racist white nationalists with African music.

[00:11:35]The nerve of these white Cubans to play African music supporting a white racist.

[00:11:41]But they effed around and found out, didn't they? But in this video, you will be highly entertained. And some of y'all have never seen this, which would be shocking to me because by by the time I I would have thought all of this rotate, but I want you to show you that despite all the trash that we hear from all of our fans across the world, the toxic fans that we have that tries every moment to disrespect us, to belittle us, to utilize the tropes given to them by their white massa to downgrade us or to step on our necks.

[00:12:16]The truth of the matter is they are all fans and they resonate with our culture because our culture allows them to do something that they their culture doesn't allow them to do. Express themselves and expression is the most spiritual thing you can do and their cultures don't allow them to do it. That's why they gear towards us, the spirit, the African, and the culture that the African has created, the African-American.

[00:12:46]So, watch this and enjoy.

[00:12:48]And after you finish watching this video, every time you see one of them, just look at them like, Mhm. Yeah. Yeah.

[00:12:56]Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I know. I know. I know. It's okay. Now, hey, African-Americans, it's hard being famous. You understand? You're going to have haters.

[00:13:06]And African-Americans, we're famous. You know why? Because black people, Africans, we've been famous since those Greeks came across that Mediterranean and saw those black Africans with all those megalithic structures. We've been famous for a long time. We've been worshiped for a long time. It's been a toxic relationship with our crazy ass fans for a very long time. And that crazy toxic, you know, envy, that toxic jealousy, that that that toxicity that they all create because they can't do the things that we do because they can't be us because they weren't born us. And it creates all that hostility, all that jealousy. We have to deal with it. And that's just that's just what we got to do. But we got to make sure we protect ourselves and protect our sovereignty while we're dealing with it. But make no mistake, the world does not look down upon us.

[00:14:06]The world has always looked up at us and they've been trying to find a way to chop us down to their size.

[00:14:14]Okay? Always remember that. It's never racism. It's always jealousy. Anyway, tell me what you think in the comments section. It's a Think Tank. Learn something, teach something. I'm out.

[00:37:51]>> The continent of Africa and the diaspora to find paint every day.

[00:37:59]As someone who's been living outside the US for almost 2 years now, I can so definitively see black American culture as a blueprint. Obviously, I already knew this being in the US. But leaving the US made me see how this manifests on international scale. This manifests in music. I go to gym, they're always playing 2000s hip-hop. 99% of the time it's black artists. Same with fashion, street wear, that's black attire. Speech patterns as well. But yeah.

[00:38:20]>> Oh my god. I don't even need to know two and three cuz you the one boo.

[00:38:26]>> You the one, boo. I don't even know what they trying to do. T you the one. Don't never think you nothing else. You the one. Oh no.
