“Black Americans Don’t Have Culture”

Added: 2026-05-26

[00:00:00]If running around with feathers on your head is what it causes if is what it takes to have culture, then I don't have no culture. These dudes run, they put on glasses, they put on reading glasses and cross their legs and speak proper English. And I can come in using profanity and be smarter than your dumb.

[00:00:17]>> When Africans come to America, they're busting their behinds to get degrees, become doctors, lawyers, and stuff like that. So when Africans look at African-Americans, they're like, "These people have credit cards. We don't even have credit cards. These people are not even working. And we come here and we busting our asses. And now >> if you are a refugee, you get a loan when you get to America.

[00:00:38]>> We're doing this is we're now six figures and these people have all these years to become all these great jobs and y'all have all this time to get free money, free loans, and we don't get that back at >> Frank Zanu will bring on people that don't know this stuff that I we just discussed today. Like he says that black Americans have no culture. Okay, let's let's define culture. Define culture.

[00:01:02]And then he'll ask somebody, "How do you define culture?" There is no how do you define culture? There's one definition of culture. It's like saying, "How do you define a woman?" I don't have the definition. The definition is a definition. You can't make up a definition for a word that's been around for thousands of years. Probably.

[00:01:19]Culture is a shared system of learned behaviors, beliefs, values, customs, and symbols that a specific group of people use to understand the world and communicate with each other. Tell me what black American culture is. A woman is described whatever you want her to be. That's right. Welcome to America.

[00:01:37]So, black American culture, let's see what are some things that consist of culture. Architecture, clothing, food, tools, and art. You know what art is?

[00:01:46]Music is considered art, right? Oh, we got a lot of [ __ ] culture if you want to talk about that. But all you Africans that say black Americans don't have culture. Listen, music is part of culture. Yes or no? Uh, language and communication. We can This is not so much cuz they're just basically saying Ebonics. I mean, I guess you know, you if you go in in California, they they I don't know if they still have it. They have a class called Ebonics where you can learn how to speak like a historically the black church served as far more of a religious institution and it was psycholog psychological social and political safe haven for the black community. Gospel tradition introduced a highly emotional layered uh vocal harmonies and in uh instrument instrument I won't say that word that revolutionized global uh coral and secular music culinary traditions soul foods like okra black peas yams collard greens cornbread fried chicken and chitlins soul food meaning represents survival comfort family gathering the preservation of lineage through oral history kinship ship and social values.

[00:02:54]Uh, yeah, we get that. Basically, how the hell can you say that black Americans have no culture? When people think of culture, they think of natural clothes, designs unrelated to modernity, purely from the wild and nature. Well, I mean, if running around with feathers on your head is what it causes if is what it takes to have culture, then I don't have no culture. If I need to wear a [ __ ] tiger's neck on my damn as a scarf to say that I have culture, maybe I don't have a culture. Yeah, that's why I didn't use Ebonics. Slang is not a language. Yeah, that's why I didn't use Ebonics cuz that's not like broken English. I'm not going to claim that even though for for us it is culturally a thing. Uh I'm not going to say that, you know, that's that. Well, I mean, listen, what is what what is what is um because we can't say Kenyan culture or Ghana Ganaian culture because then they're going to say, "No, it's a tribal thing." So, what is who you culture?

[00:03:59]Like, first of all, what a dumbass question. What is what is black American culture? Like, that is such a broad like that's asking that's like basically asking somebody what is America aing country? What do you mean? Of course, if you just walk up to somebody and say, "Tell me about black American culture."

[00:04:16]Of course, they're not going to be able to answer it because it's a stupid ass question. Like, what is cuyu culture?

[00:04:20]Are you referring to music? Are you referring to food? Are you referring to family value? What the hell are you talking about? I And that's why these dumb white supremacists and want to be white supremacists need to bring me on their platform. Cuz if you ask me what is black American culture, I'm going to ask you what part. Hey, what is the US government? What? Or what does the US government believe in? Uh about abortion? About the Second Amendment?

[00:04:46]What the are you talking about? What do you mean what is black American culture?

[00:04:51]Hey, I want y'all to answer this question. What are eggs? Just tell me.

[00:04:55]What are eggs? Oh, see, look, black Americans don't know what eggs are. They can't tell me because you asked a dumbass question. How am I supposed to tell you? An idiot. And that's the thing. These dudes run around. They put on glasses. They put on reading glasses and cross their legs and speak proper English and I can come in using profanity and be smarter than your dumb ass. You got on glasses and with your legs crossed, notes and still don't know what the hell you talking about.

[00:05:24]Meanwhile, I'm sipping on Jin right now.

[00:05:26]I'm still smarter than you talking about what is culture. What kind of question is that? What are birds? Kind of birds.

[00:05:34]We got birds that can We got birds that hunt fish. We got birds that hunt insects. What the are you talking about?

[00:05:42]Let's start there. So, I just asked Google, what is Kakuya culture? Kakuya culture belongs to the largest ethnic group in Kenya cons constituing of roughly 17% of the population inhabiting fertile lands. So, basically, it hasn't told me yet. It's just telling me who they are. Okay. The Cuyus possess a highly organized agrarian culture centered around uh u I guess they're trying to say matriarchy. I don't know.

[00:06:13]Mat metrineal clan I guess that is lineages, ancestral naming patterns and an influential history of political resistance. So I hoped you guys learned about Kuyu culture. Now let's ask it a question like a regular mother would ask. Tell me about Cuyu's traditional music. This is a better question. See, now it can give you it can go to full detail. Oral storytelling, historical. You see what happens when you know English and you know how to ask questions. Damn. Yeah.

[00:06:50]This is black American culture. I drink Jen out of a teacup. Like I said, imagine walking up to somebody and saying, "Tell me about rap music." What about it? What about it? Yeah, you said I've heard Africans and Caribbeans saying that music is just entertainment and shouldn't be considered culture.

[00:07:08]Well, I mean, by that same logic, I would ask them, well, what the hell is goat meat and fufu? Food. Oh, is that does that make you special? Europeans got food. Native Americans had food. Oh, y'all have dances. Oh, well, I'm pretty sure the Native Americans had dances.

[00:07:24]I'm pretty sure the Europeans had dances. Uh, what else do you have that makes your culture so significant that nobody else has? That's what I want to know. Because you notice these are like dumbass dead end conversations cuz they'll be like, "Uh, well, you you notice there's never an answer on either side." Well, tell me what uh Ganaian culture is like or tell me what Waroff culture is like. All they gonna do is name a bunch of spinach and [ __ ] fufu. But if we do that, they gonna try to on us. Well, what is black American culture? Well, we invented jazz music, R&B, gospel basically. You know, we have our own food. You know, we got our own dances. Maybe it's not 90,000 years old like y'alls, but we have our own dances.

[00:08:13]Oh, when we do that, it's not good enough. But if you put fufu and goat meat on a pedestal, somehow that's culture. If you put tap dancing and jumping around with with drums and [ __ ] somehow that's superior to ours. Why do some people say black America is laughing at me? Say black Americans have no culture. I got the answer because they're haters. And here's the one thing that it says. It says disconnection from the motherland.

[00:08:44]Right? Because we come from Africa.

[00:08:46]We've been disconnected. So apparently we have no culture, right? Well, guess what? White Americans have been disconnected from Britain for centuries.

[00:08:56]I don't see nobody telling them that they don't have culture. Put raise your hand if you've ever heard of someone saying that white Americans don't have culture. They say, "How do you copy a group of people that has no culture?"

[00:09:10]Man, when I was in Ghana, I seen dudes sag in their pants to the back like this.

[00:09:17]Uh, running around talking about, "Yeah, man. Yeah, my [ __ ] Yeah, that [ __ ] didn't come from Ghana." So, why are you copying somebody that has no culture?

[00:09:29]See, I don't have a problem with Africans. I don't have a problem with Caribbeans. I don't have a problem with none of y'all. But when we start talking about social topics and history and y'all come with that bull, I'm going to say something. Listen, in African culture, it was getting your hair braided. That was a hairstyle, right?

[00:09:48]That's part of the culture, right? Oh, but if I if we do the sponge curl top or if I get a a a southside from Dallas, that ain't we ain't got no culture. But if you get your hair braided, that's culture. So you can have the hairstyle and just because it's 90 million years old is culture, but if we do it, it ain't culture. Now, some people disagree and they be like, "Oh, uh, culture, I mean, twerking started in Africa." I'm not going to credit black Americans with Africa. Them African chicks been having big for thousands of years. I'm pretty sure somebody thought about shaking it around a long time ago. That's common sense. Even Chad, even in the AI calling y'all surface level bias >> about the African-Americans.

[00:10:35]>> Well, he said we don't have any culture when he he looks like our culture. You know what I'm saying?

[00:10:40]>> Wait, hold on. How does that look like?

[00:10:41]So, I always I get No, I want to say something about this cuz we get I get that a lot like when I cuz we have a lot cuz I'm I'm a Nigerian. I'm Nigerian American, right?

[00:10:49]>> And our show is predominantly like a lot of Africans on our show. Um so, we have a lot of these kind of conversations.

[00:10:55]Yes. So someone like myself, I would say certain things. I may offend other people. I may say something to offend an African person, right? And they would now look at me and say, "Well, you're trying to You look like us. You're trying You're trying to look like us.

[00:11:10]>> You are You are one of us. You're American as well, right? You said >> I'm American, but because I guess I'm Nigerian as well. They're thinking I'm trying to look like you guys. I'm trying to talk like you, but I'm American." So my I guess the point that I'm trying to make is what does an American person look like and what does an African person look? How how how is an American person?

[00:11:30]>> What a dumbass question. And this is when you know people don't have any real backing behind their statements. She's going to ask a off-topic question. He said that you said that we have no culture. Now you what does an African look like? What does an >> address as opposed to an African person?

[00:11:47]That's what I >> think I think it's pretty obvious when you look at black American culture like we do dress we have a different swag about us a fashion senses >> um different um even with you ladies you guys are wearing wigs and weaves not not saying y I'm saying in general African women do be wearing that >> I haven't I've never associated women in the motherland being a rich like I' haven't seen that y usually present with your natural hair more I think that aesthetic is a black American aesthetic you You know what I mean? Like um and that's just me personally. Like I said, I have never when I looked at the motherland of African women from the motherland land, I've never looked at them having all of this makeup and you know enhancements and surgeries and stuff like that. Like so that to me is an aspect of looking the part of black American women like you know what I mean? So >> this question is irrelevant. Nobody gives a nobody is nobody with a functioning brain is going to be sitting here talking about well Africans look like this and black bro they're both of them how about that >> even how certain black >> but also where did black American women get that look from they got it from the Europeans so that's why I feel like >> that has nothing to do with anything where do you think we're all wearing >> where do you think the world get most of it fashion fashion advice or sense from or style from >> put me in debate Man, this this [ __ ] is I'm I'm about to fall asleep >> from a black man walking up and down the block who who who made his designs or made his appeal. LL Cooj knowledgeable for rolling his leg up, you know, and this is where I see Burnab boy rolling one leg up to hone in on the clip with Burnab Boy specifically saying African-Americans do not have culture. What did he mean by that? Because African-Americans do have culture. Well, if you ask a lot of Caribbean people or even African people that question African-Americans, we not there's no war. You get what I'm saying? We want to be respected just as much. [ __ ] if you let alone we was shipped here without our permission. You get what I'm saying? So, >> and I think that's where the confusion comes in because it's the culture is lost for African-Americans. They don't know.

[00:13:58]>> The culture is not lost. Listen, we have separated for a good amount of time. We have our own the same way how the uh um white Americans that are of British descent have been not had a British born. They they've been separated from Britain for hundreds of years and they have made a there is a distinct difference between British American uh British white British culture and white American culture. It's very simple to understand that >> you shouldn't be started here four year 400 years ago. came from Africa. So now you got synagogues culture mixed in, you got Morocco culture mixed in with African-American culture. Even just in Louisiana, gumbo, ochre, all that came from West Africa for them to pick up those traditions and cultures. So that's where >> and that's true. Our American ver our black American version of jalof rice is called jumbolaya. It is very very similar. They don't. They're saying >> so if we want to. That being said, how can they say that we don't have culture when some of our things are offspun from theirs, right? Like I just said, we have jalof rice, but it's just called jumbolaya. We have many foods that are similar like that. But if you if you ask them, we don't have nothing. Like we just a bland ass. Let me stop talking before I say something crazy. you don't really know where the culture is because it's coming from thousands of languages and tribes and countries because we were shipped all over. We didn't ask to you know what I'm saying? So that's where they're like necessarily where they're honing in where it's like you don't have cultures because >> but you shouldn't say that you don't we did we built a culture.

[00:15:40]>> You built Africanameans have African-Americans you guys you do definitely have your own culture. I can definitely say I would never take that away from lost. No, even it's lost. But I wouldn't have that's a mind a mindset from thinking outside the box. We had to create as we go. Like the everything everything our language, how we talk, how we how we walk, what we make is also unique to what we are.

[00:16:04]>> Absolutely. You know what I'm saying? I would never take that.

[00:16:07]>> I think it's just more so what has to be told to him that they do have culture, but it was made and created and it became their own culture. Hip-hop.

[00:16:15]That's literally a culture from black African-American. So my question now for you is would you now say African-American culture derives from African culture? I think we all take a little bit of >> obviously obviously that's not even a what is up with these question that that's not even a question again let's use white people again British people yes they colonized the United States did some of that culture remaining obviously that's not even a question yes if you bring African slaves from Africa they still braided their hair when they got to the Americas right oh man. Yeah, we surface level ass >> something from each other.

[00:16:57]>> That's [ __ ] This thing >> I I think that is true. Um and matter of fact, Art, can you can you play that that clip that I had real quick? Cuz this is going to correlate kind of to this whole conversation.

[00:17:09]>> What do you say when people say where you from?

[00:17:11]>> America.

[00:17:11]>> No. Where's your country?

[00:17:13]>> My country is America. I was born in New York, raised in >> Where your parents?

[00:17:16]>> My parents are from New York.

[00:17:17]>> Americans, they don't know where they're from, you know. Oh, that's a donut live.

[00:17:20]>> I think American black people are the most lost black people in the world.

[00:17:24]>> Yeah.

[00:17:25]>> Listen, so they asked him where is he from? He said America, right? If you ask uh a white American majority time, where are you from? America. No, no, no, no.

[00:17:35]White people didn't come from North America. Where are you really from?

[00:17:38]Well, I mean, [ __ ] maybe they might be British. Maybe. But they not calling them lost because of that. This on this podcast right here is about to say, and I'm sorry, I'm trying to curse less.

[00:17:49]I'mma edit it. He's saying American black uh black Americans are the most lost people. You so goddamn lost. You found your way to America.

[00:17:59]>> But we the lost ones.

[00:18:01]>> Yeah.

[00:18:01]>> You get what I'm saying? Like you see black people over here. You know where they come from.

[00:18:04]>> We all know where we come from.

[00:18:05]>> What are some negative stereotypes y'all heard about black from your parents, from your friends?

[00:18:09]>> You literally said it all.

[00:18:10]>> That's it.

[00:18:11]>> Yeah. 100%.

[00:18:12]>> Like my mom would tell me not to marry.

[00:18:15]She says it all the time.

[00:18:16]>> My parents are both from Grenada. they came here in the like ' 80s and '9s. So, what he was saying about how they think that black people are lazy does like resonate with me cuz I've heard that a lot >> and I'm West African Nigerian because if you ever remember the movie, >> you know, it's funny. Black Americans participating in overthrowing the communist uh the communist uprising in Grenada >> Hill and there's a scene. Yeah. where they're doing the thing with us. I said, "We can't."

[00:18:39]>> They calling us lazy, but we was driven enough to go over there and overthrow your >> work with Akata. That's a word that they were calling the American blacks. Akata, the Nigerians. Akata is a word that they use for American blacks. And Wesley Snip's like, "Yo, what is this aata [ __ ] you keep calling us?" And the guy goes, "We don't want to work with cotton pickers." Africans come to And a lot of African my African-American friends say, "Man, a lot of Africans are really mean towards us. They're really nasty towards us because they feel they're better towards us." you being a man from >> and that's the crazy part, right? They feel that they're better, right? This this is the issue with Africans thinking that they're better than one another.

[00:19:16]Oh, we don't want to work with And listen, let me make a disclaimer. I know all Africans ain't this stupid. Uh I when you go to Africa now, usually you have this issue with people Africans outside of Africa. When you go to South Africa, when you go to Kenya, when you go to Ghana, they not talking to you like this. Maybe it's cuz they won't say it to your face, but they ain't talking like this. It's usually whenever they leave and go to UK, US, France, they that they start getting black American uh no culture derangement syndrome. If you in some way feel that you, let's use Nigerian since he brought up Nigerians.

[00:19:56]If you feel that you are superior to black Americans and you don't want to work with cotton pickers, why the is your poverty rate so high? Let's look at black American poverty rate is less than 20%. Nigerians, I believe, is like triple of that. But we're inferior.

[00:20:13]>> From an African family, what would your family say about you bringing like a American woman?

[00:20:17]>> My daughter's mom is American. Most African parents, if we're being honest, they would actually prefer you bring home a white person.

[00:20:23]>> A lot. I can't categorically say every Nigerian got this talk, but a lot of Nigerians that travel abroad got this talk from their family where they will sit you down and tell you you're going there. Don't go and talk to those black Americans. You just go and get pregnant, you get into drugs, you get you start become gang banging. They give you that talk that >> they do a lot of that. They do do that.

[00:20:47]>> Just go to the white community, find a nice place, be they just go and be be decent, stay with the white people. They give you that talk.

[00:20:56]>> So when you enter America, you already have a perception of African-Americans.

[00:21:00]You judge them.

[00:21:02]>> Well, we don't want them. Yeah, >> they're your brothers and sisters.

[00:21:05]>> They're not our brothers.

[00:21:07]>> They are.

[00:21:07]>> They were taken away. Unfortunately, we were developed by >> That video could have been a lot longer.

[00:21:12]I just wanted to like um clip it. But again, when we talk about these diaspora wars, and I want to get into that later, but since we already here, >> you know, when you even type in diaspora wars, it seems to be, you know, Africans or Caribbeans and they have this disdain almost or this disrespect when it comes towards black Americans often saying, you know, you don't know where you're come, you don't come from, but they would never say that to a Haitian or or a Jamaican or a Trinidadian, even though we all came from the same same slave ship. It's just different stops. But for some reason, black Americans or African-Americans aren't looked at as a specific culture when Jamaicans are or Haitians are, whatever the antique, like all of them are looked at. Nobody questions their culture. And the fact that we always have to answer our culture or is being questioned by people that look like us, you know what I mean?

[00:22:00]Is very disrespectful. And especially when we have built a unique culture within America. And I think unfortunately the media does a good job at portraying only the negative stereotypes. just like when we growing up the the stereotypes that we seen of Africans was the flies on the face. I didn't have this that and the third. So that's what we saw. So of course we had a negative perception but you know we see as now 2025 2024 we still seeing that narrative push that don't go to those black Americans they ratchet they ghetto. They don't got no culture which is just to me is very disrespectful and it is it is a slap in the face like as >> look at my haircut now. Do I have culture?

[00:22:35]>> Black American.

[00:22:36]>> Let me ask you something. What country in Africa are you from?

[00:22:41]>> I'm from America. That's what we're saying. Just like a Jama Just like a No, no, no. Hold on. Just like somebody from Jamaica, they're not going to say what country in Africa they from. Somebody in Haiti is not going to say what country from. They going to say they're Haitian >> cuz they were closer from what is it called? The triangle. And she I could end video right here. So she's doing a debate about black Americans not having a culture. And this doesn't even know what the transatlantic slave trade was called. Let's let's let these are the people that put me in the debate. I'mma keep saying that till one of y'all reach out. Put me in the debate. You are basically she's basically trying to debate a doctor about heart surgery and doesn't know what the hell a heart is or a pair of gloves. She don't even know what the damn transatlantic slave slave trade is called. These are the people th this is their level of intellect. These are the people that are going to debates. How the hell do you not know it? Listen, if you're African or black American, there's no way that you don't know what the transatlantic slave trade was. Everybody on the Hold on. Slave.

[00:23:53]>> But when they when you ask them that question, they're not going to have a definitive answer.

[00:23:57]>> That's because they're already in their own community of Caribbeans. the Haitians, Jamaica, they're all like >> intellect. This is the level of intellect of people that are showing up to these debates. They're unqualified.

[00:24:09]They're trying to debate black issues and they don't even know what the transatlantic slave trade is. Did you know that they ship slaves from Africa to North America? Okay. I That's what I thought. I thought most people knew that.

[00:24:20]>> Like in one bowl just as >> black Americans are in their own bowl as well.

[00:24:25]That's why Africans feel that way because they feel like because you don't know where you come from, which is not by fault by Africans.

[00:24:33]>> We know where we come from. We come from America just like Jamaican come from Jamaica. Like what is the difference?

[00:24:38]>> I think it's just more relatable from an African to see another African be like, "Oh, where you come from?" "Oh, I'm from Ghana. I'm from this. I'm from >> Again, uh Africans in Africa don't talk like this. It's for some reason they go Hollywood when they get to America." I see some people are saying that's why I'm not in a rush to get to Africa. No, when you get to Africa, you're not going to be having these dumb conversations.

[00:24:59]You know, they're in America having these stupid useless ass.

[00:25:04]And they know so much about their culture because they do this, this, this, this, this, and this. So, I feel like that's why they feel like, you know, so much about your culture in Africa. So, that's why they're like, well, Americans don't know because honestly, you guys don't know. When Africans come to America, they're busting their behinds to get degrees, become doctors, lawyers, and stuff like that. So when Africans look at African-Americans, they're like, "These people have credit cards. We don't even have credit cards. These people are not even working." And we come here and we busting our And now >> if you are a refugee, you get a loan when you get to America.

[00:25:39]>> We're doing this is we're now six figures and these people have all these years to become all these great jobs.

[00:25:45]pissed me off. What percentage of black Americans earn more than $100,000 annually? And she's like, "Oh, we're making six figures. Y'all weren't doing nothing. Y'all weren't doing anything."

[00:26:02]Sure. Sure. 6 to 8% of individual black American adults uh earn six figures, while households is damn near 30%. But if you listen to people like her again, she's like they want to be white supremacists. She's literally using white supremacist hired ass white supremacist talking points. Cuz if you listen to white, they'd be like, "Oh, like Myron Gains, the wannabe white guy.

[00:26:29]He's like, "Oh, that's why y'all are all broke." 20% of black Americans live in poverty. Two out of 10. That's not tired ass white supremacist talking points coming from somebody with >> and careers and they're not doing anything. That's I'm just saying this is what they're saying. Yeah. This is the conversation. It's like y'all have all this time to get free money, free loans and we don't get that back at home.

[00:26:54]>> Free money, free loans. Do you know that I've been paying on my credit card, my lousy ass Capital One credit card since 2019? And it took me like what three or four years to go from $300 to 600. But listening to her, we just automatically just getting free.

[00:27:13]>> Yeah. But >> but y'all get that when y'all come here though.

[00:27:15]>> Exactly. And >> Exactly. They get that. They get handouts.

[00:27:19]>> Guess what? We're right here and y'all are still >> There's a lot of grants and I get that when y'all come here though.

[00:27:24]>> Exactly. And guess what? We're right here and y'all are still >> Y'all are right up here and we're down here. Are youing serious? Okay, maybe I'm wrong. I could be wrong. Huh? Yeah.

[00:27:35]Yeah. What? Leave it right there. I'll put it up. What uh percentage of Nigerian immigrants earn over $100,000 annually in the US? 25 to 35% of Nigerian immigrant households. So remember, ours is like 27%.

[00:27:55]So it's around the same. Now it says uh while looking at individual earners around 15 to 20%. Uh now keep in mind though the Nigerian immigrants that they use I mean that they bring in are usually causing brain drain in their country. Meaning that they come over here perform highlevel jobs in the first place. My my issue is first of all what you're doing in my country I can't go to your and do like I can't go to Nigeria and on them and say oh uh you know well I came to Nigeria I open up a lousy ass coffee shop and y'all are still down here like you would probably be in jail doing that just like what's that uh that uh mixed dude South Africa dude uh that was talking about Trump uh half breed what's his name uh Mark Twain. He over there at the Grammys talking about our politics. If I went to South Africa on national television and made a joke about y'all's president, I'd be in jail.

[00:29:03]And if I'm not at in jail, I would get ran up out of there. They do stuff that we cannot do in their country. That's what pisses me off, too. You can't go to Kenya and not critique them this way.

[00:29:16]You can't go to uh Ghana and critique them this way. Sure can't go to Somalia and critique them. You probably be be end up being beheaded. But I bet you a Somalian would go to uh the uh Minnesota saying that black Americans are a bunch of deadbeat daddies. They do that we can't do. There's freedom of speech in South Africa. No, I'm sorry. In America, if you want to critique critique Donald Trump, you don't come up missing.

[00:29:41]There's a lot of grants and loans and and different situations.

[00:29:44]>> People from here is not getting them loans and trying to come here and get them.

[00:29:46]>> You said what you just said.

[00:29:47]>> No, I said there's a lot of >> That's the point that they're proving.

[00:29:49]The people here are not even getting it.

[00:29:51]So, it's like what are y >> No, I'm saying the black people here are not getting them same opportunities that y'all come from. Y'all >> Yeah, that's what she doesn't understand. Africans go to America and they get them a 50,000 illegal immigrants get them a $50,000 loan. Bro, I have never gotten approved for a credit card over $1,000.

[00:30:15]That's nothing. They get a completely different treatment.

[00:30:19]>> Africa and come here and get We not We don't get those.

[00:30:22]>> Considering not just Africans, everybody, all the other countries are considering y'all as being lazy because it's like why >> the countries that are considering us being lazy are countries that are [ __ ] hole countries. Let's just be honest.

[00:30:34]>> Aren't y'all getting these? Why y'all not busting y'all asses to? Y'all should be better than the Chinese. This is y'all Americans. Y'all should be better than America. Y'all should be better than Chinese people who coming over here.

[00:30:45]>> My question is what's what are the opportunities that you think that >> you dummy. The Chinese people are the worst example you can use. They are governmentfunded.

[00:30:55]The belt and road initi the belt and road initiative. That's not just somebody that's like, "Oh, let's go build a road over here." That is the Chinese government money. How can you compare the minority group that just got the right to vote 60 years ago to aing government >> that we're that we have over >> that's different, right?

[00:31:19]>> The with the scholarships and stuff >> that we're getting more than you.

[00:31:21]>> I don't I don't understand what No, I've never heard of anything.

[00:31:24]>> Are y'all seeing what's going on with the immigrants right now and how the benefits that they're receiving? Are y'all aware of the this right now? the immigrants were here.

[00:31:32]>> The all of these immigrants coming to New to New York and Chicago.

[00:31:36]>> Are you aware of the the benefits that they're getting right now and the free hotels and the free EBTS and all of this?

[00:31:43]>> $500 a week.

[00:31:44]>> Wait before we get before you get immigrants. What immigrants are you talking about? Cuz I we're talking about the Mexicans. Yeah. Cuz that's what I see. I see is the Guatemalans.

[00:31:53]Yeah. Like >> Guatemalians. These are the people that are these are the people that are doing debates. Guatemalans. They don't even speak English properly.

[00:32:02]>> We're not talking about them right now.

[00:32:04]>> But we're talking about immigrants. But yeah, immigrants. But you what you just said is that Africans are getting more opportunities than African-Americans, Caribbeans. How? We're not talking about the Venez opportunities that they would give a black man specifically. If you look online, if you go online and search, we go online and search for grants and and and um loans and and everything specifically for black men, there are none.

[00:32:34]>> And don't have they have plenty of awards and scholarships for and >> that just shows you how America treats black people as a whole. It's a very >> But that's the point we're trying to get to y'all. That the reason we're not as far as people come from other countries and get is because >> No, I'm sorry. I'm No, this is not to be ignorant because >> you are ignorant. You don't even speak English properly. Guatemalians >> haven't answered my question as to what um us >> you want to know the name like I don't get >> even Donald Trump revoked their visas right now. That's where I'm at with it.

[00:33:07]I'm I'm pro ICE now. Now I'm pro ICE.

[00:33:10]I'm tired I'm tired of.

[00:33:12]>> Not even just that because there there isn't anything specific that we're doing where we're receiving.

[00:33:18]>> But hold on. You you you have you have no you have not pointed out any simple direct way you can know that black people are lazy but yet y'all can claim and give us that title.

[00:33:29]>> You don't know you don't know that. This is what you >> CHINESE PEOPLE GIVE Y'ALL THAT TITLE.

[00:33:33]>> No no no Africans as well. A lot of foreign people or immigrant people are are doing that. We not going to cut the slack. Oh it's it's everybody doing that [ __ ] to black Americans. That is >> But do you know how hard it is? No.

[00:33:44]Listen. Do you know how hard it is to leave your country, our home, Africa, wherever in Africa to now get a to even get a visa in itself is hard. It's not it's you know how hard it is to build America for free for free and not to get anything cuz you're only speaking from an African perspective.

[00:34:02]>> But if it's so hard, why do millions of people do it every day, every year, every week, every >> I don't want them to negate from what you're trying to say. Listen, >> what is the what is the [ __ ] that they get for school? um >> scholarships.

[00:34:15]>> Not not the scholarships, but they had and and they took away the rights recently. Um >> affirmative action.

[00:34:19]>> Affirmative action. Look, that's being spreaded between that was just supposed to be for African-Americans. And they just made that [ __ ] for the whole anybody.

[00:34:27]>> But I But what I what I don't want to happen is I don't want no one to take away from the hard work that Africans are doing to get to where they are.

[00:34:36]We're not getting >> We not doing that. But if you come here and you saying disrespect to Africanamean, look, >> it's literally >> Can I ask you a question? Y'all know Hispanic people, right?

[00:34:47]>> If a person doesn't know Spanish, but he still considered Puerto Rican, right?

[00:34:51]>> Don't every Puerto Rican person still claim they're Puerto Rican >> to any they're not you American Spanish.

[00:34:58]They don't say that [ __ ] But we got to hear from African people how we're not as black as they are.

[00:35:04]>> And yet, let's stop saying that, too.

[00:35:06]Puerto Rican people are not Spanish.

[00:35:08]They speak Spanish. Spanish people are from Spain.

[00:35:12]>> Cuz we were born in America.

[00:35:14]>> By that logic, I mean I'm English cuz I speak English.

[00:35:19]These unqualified debates have to stop.

[00:35:22]>> Okay.

[00:35:23]>> Yeah. I think when it comes to this conversation, it's just like I said, it's very disingenuous to say black Americans are lazy, especially when black Americans are the reason why your family was able to leave your country and come to a better country and have a better opportunity. And we can't act like every like some Africans have came here because their families were well off like you know what I'm saying? So they let's not act like every family was very small. No, let's not act like every family was poor. They came over here like oh struggling It's a third world country. This is a first world country.

[00:35:55]So nine times out of 10, everyone is coming over here.

[00:36:00]>> What percentage of Nigerian immigrants come from poverty when immigrating this?

[00:36:10]5 to 10% of Nigerian immigrants come from poverty when they come to United States. You know why? Because Nigerians don't come to the United States as refugees. But see, she's Nigerian American and she doesn't even these are the people that are having these see everybody that knows about H1B visas and what immigrants come from what parts of the world. See, if she was Somalian and she said, "Hey, we come from poverty." Yes, Somalian refugees come to United States.

[00:36:43]I mean, Somalians come to United States as refugees. Nigerians don't. Nigerians come to United States to do high level work. Pissing me off.

[00:36:54]>> So that's what their point is. We're starting from zero. Literally. That's what the >> black Americans started from zero. No credit. That's what I'm saying. But but we're talking about right now. We're coming here with no credit, no nothing, no job. Neither are we. Our degrees can't our degrees in Africa are Niger Ghana.

[00:37:11]>> We can't.

[00:37:11]>> It's like going to middle school.

[00:37:13]>> We're starting over from >> We don't even have an education system to prosper.

[00:37:17]What do Nigerians immigrate to the US for? To pursue elite higher education, career advancement, and highkilled industries in economic stability. Of course, when you get over here, if you're only becoming a doctor or a physician or an engineer or you're a software engineer, you're a corporate executive as it says right here. So, you're coming over with elite status comparing yourself to 20% of less than 20% of the population. And what do I mean by that? 20% is we are less than 20% of America's population. 20% of that is only in poverty. The other 80% is not in poverty.

[00:38:11]>> To now sit there and try to say that >> and and let's go back again. What percentage of Nigeria lives in poverty?

[00:38:22]So this is the diabolical thing. We have two Nigerians right here that come from a country where let's wait for this number. 63% of people live in poverty and they want to come to speak to 20 they want to come critique 20% and of that 20% which is actually less than 20% of that 20% of that population and tell them that they're lazy and broke. we are we're we not working as hard or we're getting things easier or hand I don't think we're saying that we're saying we you know we don't we don't appreciate the disrespect >> oh the constant black Americans are lazy when that's simply not true black Americans are some of the most profit the richest black nation on earth like you know we got the most degrees as a collective like you know what I'm saying so >> and that's what's that's what's crazy right can you imagine coming from one of the poorest nations in the world with the highest poverty rates one of the highest highest poverty rates in the world and critiquing black people in a nation where the majority of the world's black billionaires live. The majority of the world's black millionaires are in America. What are you talking about?

[00:39:34]>> To come over over here and to keep disrespecting us.

[00:39:36]>> I think it's just more so saying some instead of saying everybody.

[00:39:41]>> But you didn't say you didn't say some when you was trying to paint all Africans as being got all these degrees.

[00:39:46]You ain't say some. you all of them and try to make it seem like all of them are coming over here and prospering when that's simply not true either. Like >> yeah, so some Africans who come over here, they do very well more than some Americans.

[00:39:57]>> And she just said that Africans were here in Americans were here in America.

[00:40:01]Now it's a different story. Surface level understanding.

[00:40:04]>> Some Americans, you know, are doing better than some Africans. I think we should just leave it at that. But on African side, they see it more of a ratio that we're honestly doing well and you're they just feel like you guys are just not doing much. I think that's the better way to put it.

[00:40:21]>> But that's wrong. You get what I'm saying? You're you're justifying the wrong. Like I don't get it.

[00:40:25]>> That's wrong. And that doesn't mean that the the disrespect has to get there.

[00:40:29]Like, you know what I'm saying? Like cuz I would say arguably if black Americans was in some of y'all countries, those countries would be way more better than they are today.

[00:40:36]>> And honestly, that's what y'all should do. But it's I mean people are doing it.

[00:40:40]It's just >> no we can't do it because we're too lazy and broke. I'm done watching this [ __ ] Let me know what you guys think in the first pin comment.
