Immigrants African Americans APOLOGIZE For Disrespecting Black AmericansAdded:
As an African woman, I'd like to say that I am so sorry to the black Americans because you guys have been fighting. You guys have been fighting for your lives against racism, known and unknown.
People didn't want you to vote. People didn't want you to learn. People didn't want you to have a solid life, housing, food, healthy. That's why there are so many injustices, fake processed food, chemical foods that's now become a thing for the classes, for people who are not of old money, extreme wealth. Now, it's affecting more than just the melanated people here. Now that I've come down, I want to share some good news. Uh, and before I do that, I want to thank black Americans, African-Americans, because if it wasn't for the work you guys did, doing all going to, and going to continue doing, my black behind wouldn't be here and profiting, right? Benefiting from all that hard labor. So, I'm very grateful to that. I have right here. I have rights here because of you guys.
And I know that I I don't take it for granted. I'm super grateful and I Yeah, I'm just super grateful. Um because we all know when black people are free, everybody else is free. When something happens for black people, literally everyone benefits from it, right? So, thank you.
>> Number one, um my hot take is that black Americans are who they think they are.
They are the moment. They are the culture. And I think they have the most impact in this country and as Africans we owe them more respect.
>> Oh, I love that. Yeah, she's definitely black.
>> She's definitely >> prove you're not racist by saying I love black people three times while doing jumping jacks.
>> I don't usually do jumping jacks.
>> Okay. How about spin say I love black people three times while hopping on one foot.
>> I love black people. I love black people. I love black people.
>> What's your name?
>> Kevin. Nice.
>> Okay. You going to prove it?
>> I love black people. I love black people. I love black people.
>> Nice to meet you.
>> You're going to make the pregnant lady.
>> Oh, come on. For racism.
>> I love I love black people. I love black people.
>> You got to say you love brown people first.
>> I love brown people.
>> All right. I love you.
>> You got to hop Yeah. Hop on either.
>> Yeah. Come on. Let's do it together.
>> I love brown people. I love brown people. I love brown people.
>> Good boys. Good girls. Thank you.
But for a brief second, I actually want to talk about how great black America is. I know you might be pleasantly surprised because I've always seen black America as a cultural force like none other. It's kind of hard to really quantify their impact, but you see it every day in all corners of the world.
From the way that people dress to the usage of AAV to the music and art that people consume to the constant imitation of everything black Americans do.
America is a global powerhouse. This this is a country. This is a country that gave us Michael Jackson, Luther Vanross, Stevie Wonder, Whitney Houston, Artha Franklin, Beyonce, Serena Williams, Michael Jordan, LeBron James, Eddie Murphy, Barack Obama, Oprah Winfrey. I can go on and on. This episode could literally be me just talking about some great black Americans. The global and dominant cultural cache black America has cannot be overstated. Their culture is the most imitated, referenced, commodified, monetized, and mimicked form of blackness in the world. And that is an undeniable fact. Now, obviously, this video is about the rivalry. There's no real rivalry. It was just clickbait.
Obviously, this video is about the rivalry between black America and black Brits. And you're probably sat here thinking, "Well, you're British. Why are you heaping so much praise on to America? First of all, I'm not an idiot.
Second of all, I have no real horse in this race. Third of all, I'm not pandering or trying to befriend or befriend Americans. I'm literally just stating historical facts. Like, I did reading to put this video essay together. These are historical facts that me here in Britain, I simply cannot try and contest or deny.
>> All right. There have been conversation going on whereby um immigrants mostly the um people from Africa that migrated to America called Africanameans are coming out and most of them are coming out to apologize to black Americans and also accepting and recognizing uh their efforts towards the fight against racism and many of them have appreciate the fact that black Americans have been the backbone to their success in America and without black Americans uh Africanameans will not have uh the privilege they are enjoying right now in America and it has been so glorious because it shows how great black America are and also many of them have apologized for the disrespect that um AfricanAmericans have uh given the black African folks to the black American folks and obviously there are many video if you feel that this is a lie you can watch other video and you can see for yourself also do not forget to subscribe to this channel also like this video and this is for educational purposes after the videos I will come back for more commentaries imagine being in a country 200 I mean 300 I said I said the last time 330 million people or 350 million people in America and you only 13% of that country 13%. And the percentage you are you are influenced every part of that country and they make every law possible. They create law because of you. You did not ask to be here right? You did not ask to be here. They went and got you from a different place. They bought you. They kidnap you. Whichever. They bring you a new land.
You work hard. They they save you. They kill your people. They feed you to the to the to the to the alligators.
They hurt you. They hurt your family.
They grip you. Grip your people. Somehow somewhere you still managed to still be here.
You fought eventually there's a lot of people that have fought for your right too. You become free. You start creating wealth. Then they burn your wealth. You start creating your own city. They're burn it. Then you you have your own separate but equal. They burn your stuff and you still surviving. You still keep proving them wrong. They had 400 years ahead of you. Then you got access to school. You winning.
They keep finding way to cut you off, but you're still winning.
Then you think you winning.
But people that look like you, people that look like you come from a a country, they never were enslaved in their own country.
They come to your place where you've been fighting for 400 years or more.
They come in and they're taking advantage of all the stuff you went through because of what you fought for.
But somehow they disrespect you and you're the lame that you've been fighting for. The stuff you create for them. They come, they're fighting you.
They're calling you name. They're calling you lazy. They're calling you all sort of names. And you see to accept that.
They're telling you have no culture.
Don't they look like you?
Now you you can take it from a different group of people. That's okay. That's black American. They take it from a different group of you all the time. But the people that look like them telling them they don't deserve the thing that they fighting for. But they're benefiting because of the fight that you put out.
Black American put so much fight. They fought for so much stuff. And a lot of immigrant, a lot of diaspora, a lot of African, a lot of Caribbean people, a lot of black people outside the US come in. They do not understand the struggle, the history. They come in everything was already waiting for them. They want them to because they appreciate the stuff that's already available to them. And they call black American lazy. All type of names.
They don't they don't know anything about black American. I'm a Haitian.
Like I said before, I'm not here to to cater to people, but the more I learn about black American, the more I love them. I'm Haitian. We one of the people that fought the the French. We know what what their blood taste like.
That's Haitian people. And I'm not saying calling for anything bad. But I'm just saying I can other black people came to America, treat black America like like crap, not knowing the history.
I'm not calling for anything. Show love.
Show respect. Invite them to your house.
Go to their house. Love them.
They are the motto. Everything that we have in America as immigrants is because of black American. They're still fighting. They in the trenches, bro.
I'm sorry. I'm a little bit too passionate about it.
I don't like I I I do not I I do not like disrespectful people.
Don't Don't disrespect black American, bro.
Don't disrespect them, bro. Just because they hire you because you're immigrant, you're humble, you're so happy to be here. Don't think that it's it's normal.
It's easy.
You got accepted to a lot of school. You think it was easy. You think it was that was the norm. If it was the norm, why would you come to America? If you were if your country was that great, why would you come?
You should come for on the education thing and go back, but you stay.
Stop it.
Even now, black American fighting for immigrants.
They at the forefront of Sorry, I'm too passionate. God bless.
This is how Africans benefit off the sacrifices of black Americans in this country. Listen to this.
>> Most of us don't come into this country dreaming to be politicians, especially our parents generation. When they came here, they wanted to do what? Put their head down, go to school, go to work, go to church. My ancestors sat here and they were like, "My great great great great great granddaughter will be serving in a white men's land." And and realizing that in this country, we have to take what's ours. When I say we have to take what's ours, is because we also contribute. work so hard for us not to get that piece of the pie back to our own.
>> Do y'all know how far along black Americans will be in this country? If we was given the luxury from the beginning where you could just put your head down and work two or three jobs and then one day think about, hey, I want to get into politics and then it happens. You know how far along black Americans will be?
People get over here and act like these rights are just given to you, like these rights just fell out of a coconut tree.
No, black Americans had to make a sacrifice for those rights that these Africans now take advantage of, right?
They She couldn't do that in Kenya.
Kenya, right? Just put your head down and work and hopefully one day you'll be a politician in Kenya. You had no nothing to do with the process of landing infrastructure or the foundation in this country that you now benefit from. So, I don't care what you amount to in this country as a black immigrant.
you did not lay the foundation and you did not make the sacrifices. And then she have the audacity to turn around and say, "Oh, I gotta get my piece of the pie." No, your piece of the pie is in Kenya. How come you're not getting a piece of a pie in Kenya and we're talking about this is the first uh Kenyaborn uh politician, elected politician in Minnesota, which you know, go figure, it's Minnesota. that that's that's becoming East Africa right now if you think about it cuz all the Somali uh in Africa they usually go to Kenya as refugees you know to escape Somali so they're turning Minnesota into East Africa but back to my point is you wouldn't even have the luxury or the opportunity if black Americans never made the sacrifices in the 60s all the stuff that y'all benefiting from now black immigrants and non-white immigrants is from the sacrifice that black Americans made in this country in the 60s. Then she goes on, "Oh, I need to take the piece of the pie back to her community."
Her community. What is her community?
I'm just curious because man, I met a couple of Kenyan people and they believe in um yeah, this picture right here. I'm just going to say this picture. They believe in this picture.
>> I just don't care. After I show speech Africa tour, you really can't convince me that Africans hate black Americans.
You just can't because the reaction has been nothing but love and not hostility.
Everywhere he's gone so far, people have shown him nothing but excitement towards him. If Africans hated black Americans, you wouldn't see crowds welcoming him, celebrating him, and treating him like family. And most of the online narratives that some FBA folks be pushing don't match real life. It just doesn't because most of the Africans hate black Americans talk lives on social media. It lives online. Real life interaction show respect and connection.
The internet exaggerates beef that regular people don't actually live by.
And online beef looks serious, but regular people don't move like that in real life. And we're seeing it in real time because people in Africa relates to him as a young black person and not as some American outsider. And that's what panafricanism looks like in practice.
And lastly, you got to think about it because Tik Tok is a white bgeois app and so are Instagram and Facebook. So, of course, these platforms are going to push content that makes it seem like Africans hate black Americans and that black Americans hate Africans. The elite doesn't want to see us united. So, that's why we're going to have to take a step forward to actually put pan-Africanism in practice.
>> Honestly, natives are the only minority that I can vibe with in this country and not feel like there's some type of antilackness.
And I'm not saying it's all, but some Hispanic Latinos and Asians feel like just because they aren't black, even though they faced oppression in this country, they're somehow better than me.
And I don't like that. And I don't get that vibe from Native Americans. I actually like them. They're actually pleasant people. And I really wish the pretendans would stop disrespecting them and just appreciate them. Like if you actually held a conversation with some of them, they're very nice, extremely nice. And they're so giving. Like I had so many come in my inbox and try to offer me stuff and I'm like, "No, that is fine. Just you being nice to me and showing appreciation is more than what I NEED." I I HEAR A LOT OF PEOPLE AS a black American, I hear people say that Africa doesn't like a black Americans, but me, I DON'T CARE. I LOVE MY my people in Africa. I love him and I want to go seeing them.
>> Why do they say that Africans don't like black Americans?
>> I feel like they say that because black Americans, a lot of black, you see a lot of black Americans making fun of the people in Africa. You know what I'm saying? Making fun of the way they talk, making fun of their culture because we're Americanized. You know what I'm saying? But me on the other hand, I I love the culture because that's our roots at the end of the day. We're black Americans. We're Africanameans. So our roots is from Africa. So at the end of the day, we should respect where our roots is from. So me, I love the African culture. I love what being black is all about. So I appreciate and I love to learn about it. But you know, a lot of people say um the Africans, they don't love they don't mess with the black Americans because they're judgmental.
And I understand that they are judgmental in a way. BUT I LOVE I LOVE AFRICA. EVEN THOUGH I AIN'T BEEN THERE, I'M ON MY WAY OUT THERE, Y'ALL. I love the Africans. Okay. Period.
>> Mention five African countries that you know.
>> Five African countries. Nigeria.
Uh what's the one that start with it?
Kenya. Uh, damn, I'm drunk.
>> Ghana.
>> I'm drunk. Ghana. Oh, that's a good one.
Yes, that's a good one. Got one. Ghana.
Um, Egypt. Um, >> South Africa.
>> Yeah. South Africa. Um, it's another one that was just on the tip of my tongue.
>> Tanzania or Rwanda?
>> Yeah. Yeah, that one. That one. That one. Yes. Yes. It's I'm sorry. I don't know. Well, I don't I don't know how to pronounce a lot of other names, BUT YEAH, I'M I'M OUT THERE. EVEN IF I don't even if I don't know, I'm out there in Africa. Period.
>> America has become top three destinations for Africans.
>> Thank you for the truth.
>> Who can afford an education or who can come leave the continent and come here for an opportunity? America is top three.
>> Hello.
>> And then we land here. We click black in in an application formation. or Africanamean. And guess what? We're all of a sudden in one bucket.
>> So whatever they went through, >> whatever they paved, >> hardships in anything that we're trying to achieve, we're going to have those opportunities and those chances because of them.
>> He gets it.
>> When you actually understand that, like that even empowers you more. Shouts out to this African guy for actually telling the truth because so many uh Africans, you know, um and people from outside of America in the diaspora come here and they disrespect us. They denigrate us.
They undermine us while literally not even recognizing or giving grace or thanks for the fact that they're able to come here and have the opportunities and the liberties that they do because black Americans paved the way. And I feel like they know this. Y'all are watching me.
You all know this. Yet, for some reason, deep down inside, it it kills you to admit it. I don't know why. We come You come here, we embrace you. Well, we used to. I mean, now you all have done so much damage that it's not even the easiest to like embrace you the same way that we used to, but we we we embraced you. We we shopped at your businesses.
We promoted your brands and your companies. You set up shop in our neighborhoods, and we welcomed you. We supported you. It is also because of us that you were able to be successful in the political world because we thought that you were one of us. So, we elevated you. We voted for you. Now that we see what's going on, you all instead of, you know, saying, "Dang." I mean, and there's pockets of you that will be like, "It is not right when people come here and they just talk down and denigrate you when you did pave the way." You you you decide to kind of like dig your heels in and stand on a hill that you know is not right. Somebody's arguing with me in my comments now saying all of the stars that you all love don't have an American background and and they named Nicki Minaj, Biggie Smalls, and Rihanna. Y'all hear me say spread love is the Brooklyn way. Y'all think that that came from Biggie Smalls.
Biggie Smalls did not come up with that saying. He put it in a song because he heard black Americans in Brooklyn, New York saying that the same as we would say best side do or die. Brownsville never ran never will. Biggie did not come up with spread love is the Brooklyn way. What he did was he got into, you know, his neighborhood with his mother in Brooklyn. I think his mom was Jamaican. And he adopted the customs, the beliefs, the vernacular, the swag, the energy, and the art form of black Americans. Same with Nicki Minaj. You'll hear her every now and then speaking it with her, you know, Caribbean accent, but the art form, her Rihanna, their art form initially was not that of where they came from. It was of black American descent. No matter which way you want to turn the key, we literally have paved the way for a lot of people to make money, to become millionaires, to be able to send the barrels back home to their countries. And yet, you will get up on this internet and talk trash about us.
And it's not okay.
It's not. And we finally entered the chat and started to say something back and y'all absolutely can't stand it. And when people say they want to delineate, y'all are devastated. Shouts out to Canada.
He said that one time in a video and it was just tickled me. Y'all are devastated because we're saying, "Hold up. We're not all merged together." You heard what the African guy said? He said, "We click black or African-American and then we all become one." It's because they know in order to get ahead in this country, they have to cosplay us. They have to embody who we are. And that's how they get ahead. I love it when people tell the truth about it, but for the ones that don't, stop lying to yourselves and have some respect. I would never come to your house. I would never come to where you live. I would never come to a house that you built and tell you you ain't [Β __Β ] and take everything that you built and say you didn't build this and try to lie and rewrite history in Destiny Swap. It's a sickness and it's given demon time at this point. Spread love, Mr. Brooklyn.
>> All right, welcome back. Uh I I believe you enjoy videos and obviously I always say this that whenever you talk about black Americans, you are talking about greatness. Whenever you talk about black Americans, you are talking about a unique culture. Whenever you talk about black Americans, you are talking about uh people that have survived all manner of things and yet they are also winning.
So obviously it shows that uh Africanameans are coming out and they are recognizing the fact that black Americans are the backbone to the black community. They are recognizing the fact that whenever black America speak, all of us should listen. And also we Africans are also appreciating the fact that uh they are the ones that spec.
Most of us we do travel a lot and uh we are being respected not because of uh what we have done but because of what uh black Africans have done what their ancestors have built over time and we coming in we are just there to enjoy what they have done and also I want to use this uh um platform to say very big thank you to every black American out there that have been rugged, that have been resilient, that have been uh uh all over the place, fighting against intimidation and oppression, fighting to make sure that every black person on earth is privileged to be a black person. Every black person on earth is equal in anywhere he goes to. So also I want to appreciate I want to say a very big thank you to everyone that have been watching my video. Obviously if you check my comment section you see the support I get from black Americans and it shows the kind of love the kind of heart they have and it's so amazing to work with you guys. It's so amazing to see your comment. It's so amazing to see your support even when you are in another place entirely. It's so amazing to see that you people really love what uh you people really love uh the black community and it shows that we are one and obviously uh appreciation to the black Americans. Also do not forget to support my channel as always uh support by liking this video and also subscribing to this channel. Also you can share your comment uh what you feel about this conversation and until I see you again like I always say I love you so much.
