Black Americans and Black Africans share the same African ancestry but have different historical experiences, with Black Americans' ancestors being enslaved in America starting in 1619, while Black Africans have different ancestral backgrounds and experiences; the distinction between 'Black American' and 'African-American' reflects these different historical journeys rather than a difference in blackness itself.

You’re Not Black Enough - Black Americans vs Black Africans - DARK TRUTHAdded:
or nationality. Now, let me just play this video for you.
>> I want you to see it.
>> Black American. That I don't think I'm African-American. I'm a black American.
There has to be a difference between that man with that accent.
>> Talk that talk.
>> You know what I'm saying? Like, we have totally different ancestors. You know what I'm saying? Like, and and I had to I had to put it to my roommate like this because my roommate was born in um like Nigeria or something like that. So I had to tell him straight up, you think you black, but if they started giving black people reparations, do you think you would get a check? We had a different experience from our ancestors all the way to now.
That's why you're not black and I'm not African because you wouldn't get a reparations check. But I would, you know, I don't.
>> I'm going to play that one more time.
Bear me one second. I'll play again.
black American that I don't think I'm African-American. I'm a black American.
There has to be a difference between that man with that accent.
>> Talk that. Talk that.
>> You know what I'm saying? Like we have totally different ancestors. You know what I'm saying? Like if and and I had to I had to put it to my roommate like this cuz my roommate was born in um like Nigeria or something like that. So I had to tell him straight up, you think you black, but if they started giving black people reparations, do you think you would get a check? We had a different experience from our ancestors all the way to now.
That's why you're not black and I'm not African because you wouldn't get a reparations check. But I would >> Okay, let's >> Okay, let's educate this black lady or the FBI, please. Um, today I will be a lot more calmer. So, I do have a big problem with my TV at the moment. It's just um a a problem because I don't know I've never seen this um type of TV in the UK. Um so, I don't know how to sort it out. So, my land landlord here is trying to help me out. Let me just switch to um one second. Let me just put the camera here. Right. Bear me one second, guys. We're going to talk about this.
You're not black enough.
Um yeah. Oh, bloody hell, man. Oh, let me just adjust this. So, the lighting is not going to be too fantastic.
Oh, yeah, man. Right.
Coy right here. Welcome. I think this is the best time. I'm probably going to get um most of um let's say you guys out there. So, um um not too long ago, I was you know, I was at work finishing. I was like, you know, I'm just going back home. You know, I was actually think just stay out a little bit. Now, um I'm just tired with this type of people really that um I'll say the FBA, that's how they call them, right? They constantly constantly disrespecting um Africans, you know, saying they're not black enough, you know. I see if what is it? black is a nationality because for as far as I know having traveled to like 50 countries around the world and uh everywhere I go the first thing somebody will see is my color really um yeah you're black you know that's it of course in there and they will they'll definitely say like oh yeah you you look like an African yes I am African as well that's my roots I think um a lot of people don't really understand where they actually originated from, you know. So, I'm trying not to be um mad. So, now um let me try to recall of some of the things he she stated, right? A Nigerian guy on a a Nigerian person born in Nigeria and then she was saying, well, you can't get reparation. Reparation is like for those people who were badly affected, you know, during the slavery period, right?
So that's uh our ancestor, you know, even though it may not, let's say if you were born in Africa or somewhere and around the world, you're a black person, your ancestor is black. So you can relate with a lot of black people. So for us to state that alone, it's actually problematic in order for you to get reparation, right?
I think this is the problem with this sort of an FBA movement, right? because they're not educating their people.
Well, because in order for you to get reparation, well, you have to come from Africa.
I don't get it because the people that were enslaved, our ancestors actually came from Africa, you know, and in fact, um, where the first enslaved people actually were taken was the United Kingdom. Yeah. That's the reason why black people have lived in the UK far longer than in America. Their arrival to America was in 1619 was a place called James Town known today as Virginia.
Yeah, I think um a lot of the people they don't read the the story book, isn't it? And that is so problematic.
You understand? So, please give it a thumbs up so other people can see it.
And I'll be more than happy to answer any question even if you're FBA. I just feel like this hatred between black black people really it's it's so it's not c it's I'm actually I'm lost of words because it's the stupid behind it.
It makes me sad. It really really makes me sad honestly. Right. Because um I believe in the United States I met some quality black people. You understand? people who who are proud of course they're proud of the culture they're proud of where they're from you understand right nice if you're from Memphis you're from Chicago you're from LA or whatever right fine no problem I think um when people start having an idea yeah black people in America came what is it came up from heaven and then they they just um arrive just like that just like a magical creatur You understand, right? But you know what? We were here way before the country itself was was invented because let's face it, America was a colony really, right? By Europeans really and in fact um the Spanish they've been in in the state for such a long time, you know, I mean going back into the 15th centuries really. I think what I'm going to do is I think we're all going to learn. I think it's it's very important and it's so crazy because now you have all of these AI solvent tools and Google and all that, right? You may think people actually look at those things and I think it makes things a lot more harder now because many people are actually quite scared to look things up and that is actually quite concerning. Um I think I don't like to beg people for likes.
The reason why I'm saying this because I want people to see it, you know, because like is not going to do nothing for me.
In fact, going live, it's actually damaging to the channel. Well, because I have a lot to express. I don't have to pace myself for a certain time frame when I'm creating regular videos. But if if you're watching it, of course, in that it will allow more people to see it, you know, and that is what I want to do really. I think sharing is very is very important and uh we can ed educate each other. You know what I mean? So when you start looking at this um the timeline, I think it's important. Let me just look at the timeline. You know, I've not done any research on on this. I do I do know a bit of American culture surely. I think not to ignore what they went through the the black Americans. So going back to what she was saying, in order for you to get reparation, you need to accept the fact that yeah, your people they were from America from the from Africa. You understand? You can't just get reparation and then you claim well well I am not from Africa. And that's that's actually problematic. So if you say you're not from Africa, that means your people were not enslaved. So that alone is problematic. So a lot of these people when they're talking about reparation, it makes me laugh because it's actually quite insane to me. Where I'm just going to let's let's use chat jeop um timeline timeline of slavery. So A V E R I slavery in America. A M E R I C A timeline in America. Just give me a timeline of slavery in America. Great. Fantastic.
This is just just a keyword. So you can do the same as well and we can both learn. Right. Honestly, this thing just just pull up here. I just pull it up now. Now let me just educate people and then I will expand a little bit. Right.
Um this is all new to me. I'm I'm seeing this detail but I knew I know some of this thing. Yes. Okay. Now from the 15 to 16 um centuries right the origin. So in the 15 to 20 and 26 right the first known enslaved African arrive in a Spanish expedition in present day South Carolina and 1619 about 20 Africans are bought to arrive of the first Africans in Virginia at Jamestown Virginia right u marking the beginning of um racebased slavery in English North America but most of the people don't know this Right. And that is actually quite concerning. Now um in 1614 16 1614 to 1660 colony began and begin passing law making African slave oh my days this one this guy this is actually quite insane really. So that's when slavery became a lot more let's say institutionalized you understand. So the 1700 right the expansion slavery expands across south the southern colonies right especially for tobacco rise and of course indigo plantation so many black Americans um during that period right so um they I'll say now I say Africans I want to make it very clear they were African it's very very important to specify on this they were African African from Africa that's it you understand right they were forced some of them of course then they came as um um where is it as a trader you understand right they came as a business person really and of course in the some of them sadly were sold really so now let me just skip from let's say the 1700 let's go on to the early 18 18th centuries Right. So the growth and resistance. So in the in 180 in 1808 the US official ban the international trade slave trade through domestic slavery continues and illegal smuggle also persist. Right. So that continued in 1820 Missouri commission and I mean compromise a term to balance free free and slave state really. So that is the Missouri. I used to live in Missouri. Um now from 1831 the Nat Turner leads a major slave rebellion in Virginia. So that's when many of course in the people started you know started acting upon and the barbaric act of the slavery you understand it was actually quite mad abolished movement grew of causing and led by uh let's say figures such as and Frederick Godlass and of causing Harriet Torman right so these are very um important important sort of figure in black America. I think a lot of people don't really know this really, right? I think some of them they may they may really want to focus and say, you know what, um, black Americans are completely different to black um Africans, right?
So surely by language, I mean by of course and experiences surely without a doubt. But when it comes to our let's say um sheer roots is the same. We share the same ancestry really. We all have a different experiences really you know um what African countries what the colonials did to many African countries when you look into the Berlin conference in 1883 1884 you understand right um it was not nice not nice at all or hence why is many of these African countries were separated of causing the they were you know they were split you know Now all these countries have their borders.
So it's it's just not right you know.
Anyways I don't want to like go through all of this quite a lot. So just to go through it. So the the civil war and of course in six in 1861. So that's the American civil war began. And then so if I fast forward the aftermath now this is the aftermath in 1865 in 1877 the re the recreational era attempt to rebuild the south and expand rights for and uh let's say formerly enslaved people. So I think this is just a quick summary really. I just pulled this one up quick. Let me just speak to you. I think sometimes the data seem boring you know. Um now let me just speak to you.
So what so how do I see um black Americans? I think they are they are hardworking person. Some can be very hardworking. I think if you say they're not because I have lived with them, you know, um I have lived in their country as well, you know, and uh I do have African American you understand right those ones who can trace their their roots from let's say Africa who knows you know but of course I think um quite a lot of them they are very denial you know I think um they just need to pay a visit to one of the African countries you know you are going the you are going to see things that will actually blow your mind. You know, you don't have to like Africa. You know, of course, and you know, I'm pretty sure many Africans will not will not lose asleep over that.
Not to be disrespectful, you understand, right? I just feel like it's just getting so tiring with all this FBA sort of stuff really. You know, part of the reason why black Americans are the most successful black group in in the world, it's because of the economy. You understand right? So the economy is a lot more better in the United States and of course and with their sheer size.
Part of the reason why they have a larger size because of the transatlantic slave trade, right? So the number was quite significant the ones they took from of course in you know from Africa and it was a lot more than in the UK.
You understand? I think um that is the problem really and I just feel like a lot of these people don't know this.
They've been suppressed um from the reality and I think they just need to revisit the history book again. you know, I think um there are some people out there, there are figures out there who are telling them um you know, telling them some terrible stuff, right? Or maybe um a black American will probably go to the state um to Africa and then without any proper planning or research on then they may hype on certain things. Oh, you know what? Or they may say something, oh, you know what, Africa is not for me. um basically and uh blah blah blah and I think um even for those who are let's say they're very proud of where they're from right let's say African Africa whatever you're from Nigeria Ghana Sierra Leon Togo Sagal you name right Kenya Tanzania right those people knows where they're actually from right and uh they they will always tell you you need to be careful with some of the people you interact with you understand right when you are in the motherland really um you can't just see every single person you trust you know so if you are coming from a better economy if you go to Africa without any proper plan and then you have no idea or pro exposure to the continent then surely you are you are going to be an easy target it's the same thing I will say as well if you're going to come to Asia you never been to Asia before trust me on you are going to get people who's going to who are going to who's literally going to um target you really you know so but once you get an idea of it right you are going to be mind blown away there are some Americans who have been living in Africa for such a long time and guess what they love it are there problems in Africa without a doubt you know and it's so funny because back in the days you um many black Americans used to say some of the most insane stuff really you know I think nowadays Um a lot of them actually since um many people now spend a lot of time online so many African countries are growing in popularity understand right Tanzania example and you know you got Zanziba Kenya you got Nairobi you got Mombasa you got um other places in Ghana you got of course Ara and all that right Nigeria you got Lagos Abuja and all that but of course and I think it take a a thorough plan before you relocate to the continent because let's face it, the system is far far different to what you're used to. You understand? So um for Africans like Kos say you're born in western countries really you know you have your parents and your mom and dad will tell you about the continent you know I mean you you'll be taken on a you go on a visit to Africa and then you just see how beautiful things are you know you may not let's say remember everything you do when you're young younger but of course when you grow up you can always go. So you have a second, you have a backup.
You understand? I think there there is an opportunity there for black Americans, those who are FBA, right, to take you do your ancestry. Yeah. You go to Africa, you find out where you're from, you can have a second passport and that can be a very smooth process for you really. Right. And I'm pretty sure 100% sure if you do your ancestry, right, you will you will find out you're from Africa. 100 I am 100% something you I think um it's so funny how a lot of people will will be excited to say you know I think I have a little bit of a European in me and when you fail to understand part of the reason why you have a little bit of that is because of what let's face it um the slave owner used to used to do to our ancestors yes you know um they used to force themselves onto the women really I mean they did a lot of um stuff the owl stuff right I don't want to say oh hell's YouTube will ban me so they did they did a lot of stuff really right and of course in swines mix babies yeah I kid you not you understand so I think a lot of them don't understand that so you tend to idolize um what is it the the European side of it and when you look at it Europeans were part of the reason why uh the reason why you're in America, let's put it that way. And this is true fact really, right? Because the Europeans, especially the Spanish and the British, you know, bear in mind, I am British and uh there's some aspect of um European culture I do um fancy, but of course there's quite a lot of flaws there and I grew up in Europe. I think many people don't really um would have never been to Europe or grew up there. You understand, right?
You may not understand how people think and perceive you. European actually respect I want to make it very clear. If you're American, you have no idea of this one. European I'm talking about white. They respect any black person who is actually proud of where they're from in Africa. They will respect you. You know what I mean? They'll be like, you know where you're from. You know, in fact, because they they'll respect you to a point they actually be scared because then they're like, okay, you know what? what their ancestors did to our ancestor was awful. But time at time when you look at many African countries right you go to Africa you'll be amazed you know how people actually welcome foreigners you know mongu you know being foreigner so they they do welcome white people you know you go to Kenya man you know some ladies absolutely love white guys as well but as a black guy you don't have to worry yes you are the priority you play right you normal You know, you don't have to go out there and flaunt your wealth.
Unless if you like to spend, then surely you are going to meet gold digger ladies out there. But if you're chill, you relax, you observe around, you are going to find some of the most beautiful women. You know, how do I know this?
Because I know it. You know, I have a very beautiful woman. You understand?
And there are plenty of them. You're going to have so much options. Really, I don't like to show it. You know, it doesn't mean I don't show it mean meaning like, oh, you don't have any action. know I don't have to prove anything really but I would say for sure you know I I feel like African women grow that grew up in the continent in the continent right tend to have a level of class to them and it's a thing I'll say sadly is surely lacking in many of our western country and why a lot of the black men are leaving you understand right they are absolutely leaving they're going elsewhere whe it be south Southeast Asia you you know, or going to um what is it?
You know, South America and uh of course going to Africa, I think you're going to find some of the most beautiful women. Bear in mind, African people come in different shade.
You know, if you see a Somalian person, right, you will know they're Somalian person. You see um what he's a Ethiopian person you would know he's an Ethiopian a Canian Nigerians and Ghana and Sierra Leonian they have similar sort of features you understand right you may mistake a Ghanian to seronian or or let's say Sierra Leonian to a Nigerian and all that right because um these countries are in West Africa you understand so I think um the problem is because a lot of people have no exposure especially our lady at the start right she probably will never go to Africa and it's our choice but it's totally fine everyone can make their choices as well but when she start asking us if um reparation should be a thing to celebrate I think when people start thinking in that way you're waiting for an and out an and out for something you didn't actually work for you know you know the the struggle was our ancestor it wasn't you. You know what I mean?
Right. And I think um we should not entertain that sort of behavior. I think once we start entertaining that sort of behavior, we start to um look for an easy way out and that is actually quite trouble and troubling and wise many black people tend to lack a little bit behind. I understand the system itself.
I think it's very important as well to highlight some of their problems. you know, what they encounter. Surely, um, you know, black Americans surely went through a a traumatizing time. Really, the system is designed to keep them poor.
You know what I mean? And, uh, I do respect any black American, you know, I would just say that, right, that actually work tirelessly to get from that very terrible situation, right? Because if you go to the state, you are going to see um black people tend to be in not so great position. But then again, you are going to see a lot of black and people as well doing relatively quite well. You understand, right? You know, whether it be their foreigners and bear in mind many black Africans that are leaving the state, right, they tend to be quite well well off really. Part of the reason why because when an African right let's say move to the states they they mostly move to the state um for work or they come with a particular skill you know transferable skills so they can actually um they can actually bring you know what I mean so they don't carry the same let's say historical let's say context right but of course doesn't mean they also didn't experience struggles you understand in fact the context of Africa was heavily looted by the eur the Europeans man and I think a lot of people don't understand that how it has actually affected many African country when the European were based in in Africa they build stuff right infrastructure but the infrastructure was mainly designed to extract stuff from the continent itself and I think um that is a problem so please bear me one second I will read your comment I think I'm seeing some of them there I can't see from a far distance in the future Sure. Surely I will I will improve my live setting. So give it a thumbs up and um that's it. I'll try not to make this live too long, you know. Now I I get it.
I think um sometimes I think um there there is a mis misunderstanding, right?
Many um black Americans may think Africans don't like them. And that idea is fundamentally wrong. I think it's it is not right to say that you know and then some may argue oh you know what Africans are told to stay away from black Americans if there is any Africans let's say who were told to stay away from black Americans I think um that is not right you know what I mean but of course I think it's very important as well your mom and dad will always tell you if you feel like somebody is not a good um fit for you if that person is into drugs and doing and this and that.
Of course, I don't want to I don't I don't want nothing to deal with you. You understand, right? So, um it doesn't mean because I'm black, I have to listen to hip-hop music. No, if I don't like it, I don't like it. You're not going to force me. You understand? I like some of the artists. I like Kendrick Lamar. I like JCole, of course, in the past. And you know, Tupac and Biggie and all that, right? You know, of course, Michael Jackson is one of my favorite. You understand, right? So, um I have I like I like some some of them, of course. Um DMX, the late DMX, you understand, right? You know. Yeah. I even like I say, yeah, Eminem. I like Eminem and and 50 Cent as well. I really like 50 Cent, you know. I think he's a very he's a very smart guy now. It's he's doing fantastic stuff really. Right. So, surely I think um yeah, for for me, I would say I like in hip-hop just a little bit, right? But it doesn't mean um if you're black, you have to speak in a certain way. You speak a gay way. You know, that's that's a thing as well.
It's a problem as well in the UK as well. Um you know, when you sound proper, you know, you speak just the standard English, right? And then you go somewhere in South London and then someone start speaking like this. Hey yo, fam. How you doing, mate? You all right yet? Oh, yo, you don't understand how it is. I was like, h [ __ ] hell. I don't want to speak like that. I don't want to speak like but when you grew up in a sort of setting right and then people expect you to speak like that yo f you don't know this [ __ ] is I don't know what they say now because back in the day yo this is pen you know what I mean like oh man you don't know what you're talking about man you're smoking trees yet road man talk um yeah I think when you speak in that way then surely um it's you don't have any level of class you know um people will seem like you're into some yes let's say not so fun s stuff you know so um even when especially because I grew up in in London a bit in Leicester and of course in you know I was studying in Portsmore for a couple of years you understand right and then of course I I was in the state as well you know so I've moved around a little bit you understand so basically um I I like to move I think that's the way I think maybe that's the reason why um I sound a lot more different a little bit from you know sometimes even in London someone like oh you sound like you're from the south you know what I mean like south of England so I was like well I used to live a little bit you know in that region a little bit I I was like but you know what yeah you know but of course in that it's fine that is not very harmful or or what am I saying but I was just going to say man like some people will actually think um you know you're trying to um call play you're trying to like um be somebody that know this is why I feel comfortable. If you see my pictures when I was a boy. Yeah, man. Boy, I I like to look I like to take care of myself and uh basically um you know like like I said like growing up watching those and guys, you know, it's like hip- hop stars and all that, you know. So surely has a little bit of an influence on me, right?
But doesn't mean like um I'm fully I'm fully into hip-hop. No, I like it. I like good music. I for example in the UK right when I listen to some of the grime um grime sort of artists right not really my cup of tea you understand right I like Afro bit Afrobe is my favorite you understand right because there's no no cost it's a safe music it actually can make you dance you know there's a message behind it you know what I mean right it's beautiful of course in hip-hop as well in the ' 90s that's the reason why I like it part of the reason why and hip-hop is what it is now is because of what the biggie and of course in the the two pack and what they did you understand right um of course in yeah they were fighting mainly gang sort of um accusation but of course there was a message behind it of course in the I think there was a me um what is it a music by um Tupac de Mama that's the one I actually love I really love that one you know so of course in the hip-hop was a form of um expression due to um the oppression many African or black people were African-Americans were facing one.
Of course, now these days if you say African-American, they don't like that bit. Um yeah, so I think um it's yeah, it's it's it's deep. It's really deep.
And I think that's the reason why I'm a little bit upset with countries like let's say Japan because they have no idea of black culture. And when they start playing, they start pretending, you know, to look cool in a way that, you know, maybe they just want to like get the approval from a black person. It really pisses me off a little bit, you know. But anyway, let me look at your comment now. I think it's about time.
Yeah. Thanks for tuning in and please give it a like. Right, let's keep the comment nice and lovely. I can't see nothing from from this side. Um yeah, I'll be more than happy to have a open conversation really. So not worries in the future I'll get some people on board as well so we can actually have a chat.
Yeah. And say revisit what everybody came from Africa. True fact without a doubt. We here knows the weather. We are not from anywhere in Africa. We are a new um texture. A new texture. Please please um elaborate. Okay. I'll be I'll be more than happy to hear. Yeah, it is unfortunate but it is what is it? Um I see I would like to I want you to elaborate a little bit. What's up Shakuya? How are you? I'm doing all right. Not bad. Um how are you? I want to know um tell me I want you to expand a little bit so we can have a bit of chat you know um what makes you so different really I would like to know really what makes you so different why black Americans are so different to African to black Africans right or is black blackness a a nationality or a color I would like to know I would like to know so that's the question so please let me know I'll be more than happy to to to hear um what you have to say really because for as far as I know they're white people, they're black people, they're yellow people. You understand right? And they're any other color really. Um I don't I don't get it.
I really don't get this unnecessary fight really. We're fighting each other for what? I don't get it. I the FBA people when I see them online you know and uh they tend to go oh we don't have this sort of features you know we don't look like this and no we don't look like this of course you you have to understand yeah um your history you have to understand that you know many of the black people in Africa bear in I mean a lot of the white I think of course the white honers man white slave but a lot of the white owners so when they were actually in Africa of course and they'll say um a lot of them were not actually throwing themselves on the the black women like that you understand right mainly in the state because they have that leeway and of course in the when they were in Africa in South Africa and in Nigeria Sierra Leon and all that right so basically they always have their wives. It's the same as what in the state, but you know, and uh it's so funny how they used to say, "Oh, black people are so dirty, smelly, and all that, right?" And it's it's so disturbing. Really disturbing, honestly.
Okay, back back to answer question. The different the difference in culture.
Please, please um feel free. I'll be more than happy. Right. Please feel free.
So when a racist black person I always say this when a when you see a racist black person I mean say white person right when they see a black person they see nothing they see us um below them that's it a racist white brown or Sarah yes black people also can be racist as well you know and you have seen that in recent time in places like South Africa it's out there you can still go on on YouTube, you can type it, you will see it really that it's racism that's it's beyond xenophobia and xenophobia now it's borderline racism without a doubt you know so now why okay now let while I'm waiting for you to um to type now let me just tell you why we are exactly the same right now when you look at um our air texture right or egg texture especially when you go to like some part in I think some people don't understand that Africa a lot of people have a different sort of looks I think I did mention that a little bit right let me emphasize a little bit on that you know if you see some let's say let's say just one country let me just focus on one country let me pick a country let's say um what's the country that tend to have a a by a distinct soul. Look, Ethiopia. Let's pick Ethiopia, right? I don't want to pick the best. Okay, let me just ignore. Oh, you going to pick the best one? Let's pick um let's say Sagal. Sagal. Beautiful women as well. Sagal. Oh, unbelievable. There are some Senagal women, right? If you see them, you're going to be like their skin tone, the texture. You may think they're American really. And some of them they would tell you, "Oh, I'm Muslim. I'm actually from Sagal." They can't actually speak English. They speak um French. Yeah, that's right. I you know, so African women are so so different. I think African people have I mean insane. Look, you go to Nigeria, you're going to find a lot of um mixed light-kinned person. Their parents, both parents are black, but they're just light.
That's right. Do you know what I mean?
Right. And it's a thing you are going to see quite a lot. Look at some Nigerian movies as well. Some of the actors, they're lightkinned, their parents are black. You understand, right? And this is fact. Um just use the um the Asian country in a way. You think most most of them look similar but they wear different culturally. Okay. So Chinese, Japanese, Korean have same skin tone, same here, but they have different culture, tradition and music. You just answer your the question mate.
you know, we are all from the same sort of um background, you know, yes, we all look the same. We look different in time. We have different culture, different what is it? Sort of looks, but it doesn't mean we're not black. They're Asian. They're all black. I mean, say they're all Asian. You know what I mean?
They will never tell you they're not Asian. Really, mate, I spend seven to eight years in Asia, right? And that's the one thing I tell you for sure, right? Asian people will tell you they're Asian. Really, unless those who were born in the UK or they're born in the States and if they're Asian, they may want to fit in with some white people. They want to be white.
They may basically act in a certain way, try to distance themselves from the people from their native land. You understand, right? And it's a thing I've seen a lot of time really, right? And those people are sad. Really, really sad. And that is the the crazy thing as well when when I say some black American want to distance themselves from Africa because if do you think if let's say Africa was actually up functioning correctly with good leadership, right? Do you think many Americans would not be like, "Oh yes, I'm going to go to the motherland. I why would I want to be in America? I'm going back to where my ancestors are from. The reason why many people will deny they have not from a Africa because they don't have exposure because let's face it and they are still issues in Africa.
You understand right? But things are improving and they're improving very fast. I think um once they start seeing progress in many African country, trust me, I will guarantee in the next five five to 10 years, you are going to see Americans be like, "Yes, my ancestor is from Togo. My ancestor is from Sierra Lean. I am from Sagal. I am from Ghana.
I am from where is it? Mauritius. Um my my great great great Dan, they are from Kenya." I guarantee you this. Why am I saying this? Because I it's a thing I would say black Americans used to say things to and Africans said 10 20 years ago, right? Oh, you coming from the hurt, you have nothing, right?
Oh, doing some crazy thing. You Africans are so poor, right? Oh, god damn. You know, the bully and all that. Even laughing at your accent as well. That is so sad. And it's a thing that is most likely to happen, you know. So, yeah.
Um, we did go to the motherland. Three or three um, three or sorry, three of the three people I know that did business there got scammed. Okay. One in Ethiopia, one in Liberia, and one in Nigeria. Do you think you're not getting scammed in in in America? Listen, scam up in everywhere. Okay. Now, have you been to Asia?
Please, if you've been to I'm not targeting you. I'm trying to answer your question, right? Um, scam is a thing that is everywhere. You know, I guess I I've got in scam literally everywhere.
You know, the first time I went to Kenya at the airport, right? I was because I didn't have internet, so I should have paid I should have been a little bit patient, right? Um, so I went outside of the airport, you know, trying to get a sim card and then this lady approached me really, you know, that time my I didn't have data. So the lady that approached me, she was like, "Oh, I got a taxi. I'm going to give you I'm going to give you a good price." So a good price from the airport to my place, right? Um, she charged me 2,000 Kenyan shilling. That was like 35 minute and that was a lot of a lot. So once I downloaded the app right and I checked the same route it was not even not even 800 shillings you know what I mean right so I got plain in our way but of course you got to learn really fast scam is the thing any country that has developing sort of economy right you are going to get scam you know you probably um experience this level of scammers but I think sometimes us black people can be a lot more harsher on a lot of the developing system you understand I That's the that's the problem. Then now think about how much those people are earning. You know, surely I do get scammed in Asia. Even living in this place, I'm getting scammed because for a local they're getting paid what they I'm paying 6,400. For a local, they will pay 5,000. Remember, because I'm a foreigner, surely I cannot pay the local price because I hand more than them.
It's the same thing the way they see black foreigners or foreigners in general. You know the people that get scammed a lot in Africa are the white people. Oh, you know they do get scammed so badly.
Do I condol it? I think it's so wrong.
But it's a thing that is global. In the states is the same thing as well. You understand? Right. When a landlord see a black person, they will increase the cost. They were like, "Oh, you are high risk. You're most likely going to steal my thing." Right? So now they're racially profiling you. So they're going to increase the cost. So in case elephant go wrong, they say well you know what we are going to take this from your deposit. Okay. Now let's start thinking out this thing. All right. And logically you understand right? People get scammed literally everywhere. Now um I mean actually scam when they try to do legit business and that I will 100% agree with you. You know Africa I love it but there's a low trust society at times. you know when it comes towards doing business I to this one I would totally agree with you because my mom she was lost thousands of pounds as well you know before she used to trust people because she would ship some stuff right from London to Sierra Leone and then she would hire somebody to do the business and of course that oh my days people were stealing stuff man she employed um family members and guess what they will get involved and they would steal some stuff and all that And the mom was like, you know what, I'm tired of this. I'm going to go there myself and I'm going to do it. And then she did, you know, because surely my mom through and throughout basically African very proud traditional, right? So she she's for for the past seven to eight years that's what she's doing really, right? And um basically now once you do things yourself, you know, and then of course you're in the ground, you look for people. I think that's the problem, man.
And many people don't understand, right?
If you go to Africa, yeah, bear in mind, you cannot escape people cheating you.
It will happen. It's guaranteed. That's the one thing, you know, I don't want to say this, but it's a thing, man. Even let's say the police officers when when I was leaving, you know, um, Kenya and I was on the way back to China. So, at the airport, going to the airport, you know, the police stopped me. You know corruption and bribery it's so common and if you don't do it they will make life so hard for you. They will make life so and that is the problem.
Well in the west our corruptions the corruption is not like that. So surely you cannot bribe the officials and all that right but the corruption is more on on a paper and in fact the west tend to be a lot more harder you know. So when the corruption tend to be like in a way that they tend to suppress let's say um black communities and this is a thing for many let's say black people in the UK and also in the states as well you understand right so they will literally make sure fun is supposed to go to the community they will make sure that you know what now we need to cut that and cut that spending on that so let's um focus more on policing you know what I mean you know and then of course in that what does um cause a lot that cause friction in the community, right? So lack of trust and then the lack of trust in the police. Well, what does that mean?
You're going to have beefing and of course causing that results to killing.
So now people don't really trust the police because the police are ever so corrupt, right? Because the system actually forces them forcing them to target black people and of course in most of the time they target the wrong sort of black people and that is actually quite sad really. Yeah. Um young man, I've been to many countries.
I've never lived in any country that I can't have fire hands.
Okay, I hear you. It's my culture and my and many others. I know it's strange, but I really like my rights to defend.
F. Hey, you know that I think that you made a very very good um point right here. You understand, right? Um I respect it. You know, I never understand it until I leave in the state. I think um the way the country is actually set up I can totally understand why people carry guns and for that I I can't say much. It's actually in the constitution as well in the state really. Um when I used to live in Missouri I think at the age of 16 years old I think that time I used to live there um you you can actually carry a weapon really and there minimum checks really because of the way the society is in America. It's a it's also a low trust society as well at times. You know, you know, you have to be careful when you're driving. You make sure you don't cut in front of somebody.
Road rage can turn into serious serious um deadly encounter. So, um people can be friendly, of course, man, because um you do not want to get into altercation with people because most people do carry weapons. So, if if somebody let's say want to break into your homes, you know what I mean, right? And if you don't have if you don't carry something then surely it's going to be hard and if you carry something then let's say um you're most likely most likely and to encounter something as well right but I would say it depends on the area you leave as well if you leave in a more sort of engated sort of an environment and why segregation right then chances are you're not going to experience that.
So it's all depend on the level on on the area you leave as well. So a a European or an Asian or an African person, right? And basically um will look at the the culture in American in terms of carrying weapon that is so strange and all that, right? But trust me when you have a lot of people how they're carrying it. So yeah, you just can't play around like that. So I can understand when it comes towards that.
So without a doubt, I think it's different. But I would say it's going to be a lot more harder for you if you want to live in a for in a different country, right? And you want to carry a weapon.
It's going to be really really hard. You know, in most African country, it's a no. In I say in all of Europe, it's extremely hard unless if you have a special license to carry it. And uh you don't really need that because most of the crime is not really carried and done by and shooting. Surely there the guns in London, you know what I mean? Most of the time actually people just use a knife, they shank. It's true. So that is a painful um way to go really. It's not fun. So I would definitely say um yeah, just be careful out there. Even our dog carry gun.
You're funny man. Um hello mate, welcome. I leaving the countryside carrying is just a part of life. Uh oh yeah I think if your farmer and whatsoever right or let's say your family into that or you know if you if your city or your town is experiencing an higher crime then surely I think it probably make a lot of sense for you to carry that. So just to stay on the safe side really because um the sort of thing it's it's a reality. It's it is a reality for most people and once you leave the states and you're going to feel like that level of weight has been lifted it's just been lifted away from you man. and you just feel so good, you know, and uh you don't have to worry at all, you know, in spite of the racism black people will probably face in Asia in places like Japan, South Korea, and China, but these places are insanely safe. You know, sometime you look at, you know, their racism is mainly online because we're bigger, we're stronger than I say most Asian people. I think maybe that's part of the reason why they feel intimidated. Well, it doesn't mean like we're scary, you know? Most black people actually some of the the nis people you meet, you understand, right?
Because I I know this. I know this. So most white black people I will say um they've never been to jail. They never come in no crime. You understand? I think and when the world tend to label all black people as violence sort of creature and I just feel like bloody hell man, you know, I just can't stand it. Now um if you have any more comments, please leave it down below. Um I have leave overseas. I prefer America.
We have every type of climate you will you would like to leave in hot, cold, warm and rain. Okay. Um living um in Italy, Holland, so Netherland, Russia, and I've been to Ethiopia and Chad.
Okay. Yeah, man. I think um yeah. Um no problem. I think you probably know exactly what works for you. Surely inspire the state at the moment in terms of cost of leaving and all that still I would say um offers the most opportunities I would say for black people I would definitely say that right you tend to see a lot of black British people tend to go to the states you understand you probably seen quite a lot of them black actors really they go there they tend to get a lot more success you know because the industry the economy is definitely But surely it's a very tough place to leave. But I think um if you've traveled around and then you feel like oh this sort of place is not for you. Hey kudos. So you at least you you have gained clarity. You understand? I think that's the most important thing. At least you're different. So you stand out. At least you have a passport. You've been outside. thinking about those American who have never been outside and they probably just listen to something uh listen to somebody right and stories and uh let's say you know they just follow suit oh yes I need to hate and without a close-up experiences you know or experience and from the motherland itself or African people I think the more interaction I'm happy we're having this discussion really right you don't have to agree to what I have to say I don't have to agree to what you have to Okay. But the level of respect is so important. Black people, we need to have this. And it really pains me when I see what is happening in South Africa. And I was like, these people part of the reason why is because of joblessness and all that, right? And they turn on their own black people. It's so sad.
Um, are you leaving? I've lived in both.
Africa, Europe. I've lived in America.
I'm living here in Asia. Yeah, I've lived in both. I've lived yeah like I said I've lived in four continents really you know um I like it I like the fact for me I'm definitely going to invest in Africa you know already um I just feel like is a place I see myself retiring you know before I was mainly focusing on Asia I do like Asia but due to the visa issues out here you know B man I'm a British I'm a black British African you know So um yeah it's a lot more easier to retire and of course owning something because you want to pass generation wealth. So in Asia you can own stuff but it will not you will not pass it down to somebody. So it makes no sense. You want to buy properties you can never own the land.
So it really really makes no sense for me to spend so much money onto that you know. So for now it is my base without doubt. I believe in America especially um Florida.
Oh um top school for 62 years. Oh play in the Negro League. Oh nice. Main reason is many of us here are emotionally attached to our money and some will die for fraud of course and okay and disrespect. So it's better to not go there and get into trouble. I I I hear you man.
Hey, no respect. Uh, not let me say no disrespect. I hear you, man. If you want to stay in the state, if you're doing well in the state and you feel like that is for you, no pro. This is for pe I would say for people who want a lot more connection, right? Because if you go to Africa, you're not going to be the minority. You are going to be the m the majority. You understand, right? And you are going to have this is what I will say if you the sooner you do your answer you know where you're from it's the easier I'm telling you the easier for you to stay in the country or whatever country you decide to go to right if you know where you're from the easier it is for you to stay there for the rest of your life you know there you don't have to worry about visas and whatsoever you're going to live good life what you need in Africa you build a just build a house build a else. You have a small business, you have your car, you will leave an amazing life. Really, of course, you make sure you have a little bit of a business as well. That's it. Right.
That's it. You can split your time between Africa and the states if you want to really, right? I It takes time for you to find the right sort of people really, you know, people you can you can you can th you can trust, you understand? So, yeah, definitely definitely without a doubt.
I hear you, man. I hear you. Um, it's it's it's awesome you're sharing all of this stuff, right? Really, I'm just trying some Why are my fingers so delay a little bit? I think I've read that one.
May respect. Um, what do I think about the US? What do I think about the US? big, loud, um, it's a crazy adjective I'm using out here, but these are true. Um, more exciting, way exciting than the UK, but I would I don't want to leave there.
Um, another thing is like so expensive.
So expensive. Ah, so so expensive.
America, so expensive, right?
Unbelievable. The expense, but fun.
Well, maybe not so fun now because the the cost of living is too much, right?
So, it's take it took out the fun a little bit and I just feel like I'll go again. I'll go for a visit, you know.
Um, but I don't know where, you know, because I've been to and where is it?
Memphis. Memphis. That's where my friend's my friend is from. Matthew and then of course I've been to Chicago. I was in Missouri, Cape Gerard, of course, in close to St. Louis, and then I've been to um Seattle. I've been to New York and LA. That's it. But LA is so expensive.
LA mad expensive. Beautiful. Oh my days.
LA. If LA was so inexpens It's brutal. It's so hot in the summer.
Hate it. Hate it. Hate it. It's it's it's unbearable. I got offer 100k job in the UK, but even that is not enough.
100k more like you're making £50,000.
Yeah, a year man.
I think your taxation in the state may be a little bit better. But then again, for us, if you leave the country, yeah, you you are not going to get taxed again, right? For me now, I'm not a I'm not a UK tax resident anymore, but I am a tax resident here, you know. Yeah. And I think Yeah. The tax is a lot more better here. Yeah. It's a bit high for you as a foreigner, but it's better, you know. the UK, the way we get tax is insane. You know, earning that much, right? You may think you would take everything home. But no, the UK will be like, "Well done." That's the reason why most people would try because if you're British, they c they cap it at a certain age, right? Like basically um it will never go higher than that. You know, the people that tend to make a lot of good stuff, right? Working in finance, but those people don't have life. No, I don't want that. Lawyers also make good money. You know what I mean? When doctors as well, but they're overworked.
Nah, man. It's not It's not fun. It's really not fun. You know, most people in the UK um those who have master's degree and all that. It's they're finding it very hard to find jobs. A lot of them tend to turn towards gig, this sort of um zero hour contract sort of job, you know what I mean, right? and it's so rampant because they don't want to give people benefit. You know, most of the the companies are just so greedy.
Um for me, I I rather leave in a place that bring a level of peace to me, you know, and I don't have to worry about finance, about taxation and all that, right? Of course, I do pay my taxes.
Very important to pay your taxes as well because u if you don't do that, hey, it's going to be a big trouble for me.
Every year, I actually I just got tax refund for three years. cuz I did not claim it in China. It was not much at all, but it's better than nothing. Yeah, the UK is 40%.
Wow, that's insane. The UK is just insane the way the taxes, man.
And so you learn how to survive. There are people surviving with next to nothing. Some people survive with 10,000 pounds a year really. And are are their lives good? No, you know, and that's the thing I'll say as well. Sometimes don't underrate certain people doesn't earn that much because those people the the tax they get it's a lot more lower, you know. So the the the the less you earn, the less tax you're going to get. The more you earn in the UK, the more you get taxed, you know. So it's never worth it to do overtime at all.
Yeah.
All my childrens are are working. Uh good, man. Awesome.
Fact that's the reason why I am living in in places like China you know put all the emotion aside do I live good yes I live in in the most developed city in China you understand right you know for how much I make in the states probably it's equate to let's say around you know let's say $7,000 a month and bear in basically how much I get paid for my rent. It's it's it's £1,000 $1,000 close to 1,000 with utilities. But the good thing is everything else is cheap. It's a lot more cheaper, you know, than the UK. Well, because I also not just been, you know, basically a teacher. So, I'm I don't want to tell exactly how much I made because I'm not I'm not telling that's not the actual figure. That's not the actual thing because um money is very important. You don't want to share everything out there. Hell, some people might target you. You understand? I think that's the that's the thing about us British. We don't like to tell how much we make, you know. I think Americans don't mind, you know what I mean? You know, so but I would definitely say like um if you have other stuff you're doing, so surely most likely you can make a YouTube don't make me much. I think nowadays if I can make let's say 400 to500 pounds that's better than nothing that is more like covering my expenses really right and then sometime I don't even touch that money I was just like you know what I'm going to I'm going to invest this money onto my investment account right and that money is growing over time it's I think that's the best way you should do it is your wife Chinese no I will never date Chinese women no No, no. Um, no. My wife, I don't have a wife. My my beautiful lady. She is a black beautiful Kenyan lady. Awesome. Um, let me just see. I will show you.
I will show this is I think this is the first time probably I will show this on live. And uh, so that's me and her. Can you see?
And um that's her. So this was when we were in I think Mombasa.
This is very very recent.
Yeah. I I love her. I love her. I love her a lot. She's beautiful. She's a beautiful lady. I mean for me now having spent this long in Asia. I think Asian women are beautiful but doesn't really align to me. know the more I live in East Asia, especially East Asia, the more I like black women more because I want my kids to be fully black. That's it. My kids because the way they despise black people and I want to celebrate it, you know what I mean? I was like, nah, I just want to be with a black woman, you know? Even I doubt if anything because I'm I know the entire family, you know what I mean? I met the mom, you know, brothers and extended family, everyone really. Um, I talk to her every day and all that. She's awesome. This is when we had we went on a bowling. I'll show you.
She's actually she's a better bowling bowler than me, right?
She's better bowling than me. And then she was laughing on me. You're so [ __ ] And I was like, shut up, man.
I was go ahead. She smacked me, man.
Absolutely smack me. Really? Yeah. She's awesome, man. She's a beautiful lady.
Beautiful. And the one thing I like about her, she she has her own business really. Um, basically um, she does our own stuff, you know. Listen guys, we like to show beautiful stuff, right? So yeah, I'm sure that I'll be honest, you know, we guys, we want to show beauty.
This is the thing I'm going to tell you, right?
If you are doing well, you go to Africa, you're a single man, there's something really wrong with you. If you can't find a girl, there is something really, really, really, really, really wrong with you, right? You know, you don't have to flaunt your wealth out there, you know, because the women will know.
Just keep it lowkey, honestly, man.
African has some of the best um women out there.
Oh, sure, man. No worries. Have a good day.
Tiger mom to raise my kid for excellence. Congrat my guy. She's gorgeous. Yeah, later. No, no worries, man. Have a have a lovely one, mate. No worries. And I probably am going to head and uh end this live soon. But anyways, man. Like, let me just finish that point. Man, Kenyans are some of the most beautiful women. If you want to find some of the most gorgeous women, right, go to Ethiopia. Even Nigerians women are beautiful as well, you know. Um, I don't understand why a black Americans are not going for African women. I don't get it. You know, you're going to get so much love in Africa. You know, one, you're not going to be an outsider. You know, yes, you speak a different accent.
You know, you're from the state, man.
Actually, my my my girlfriend, our best friend, really, right? And uh she also joined us in one of in one of the nights and uh we had a good time and then her boyfriend she's uh her boyfriend leaving LA Los Angeles really right. So you know that's the thing man go for any woman that that is doing something for herself as well. Do not go for any woman that is broke. I I do not I I don't encourage it. Don't go for any woman that is broke. Bro, I I would not advise any of my black brothers out there. Don't do it. Any woman that is broke, if you're single, if you're single guy, don't go for a woman that have a kid, you know.
Listen, man. I I know because if you do that, I think it's a bad deal. You know, there's nothing against let's say um or single mom. There's nothing really, right? Um I would say don't do it, you know, because I I mean recently my mom, she's now single, right? But for a large part of my life growing up, my mom was single and of course in the 15 years with my stepdad and all that, right? Um, basically I just feel like it's it's a very tough sort of job. You be you stepping in the shoe of um becoming a stepdad. Man, that sucks. I can never do that, you know. Nah, go for a woman, you know, young woman. I It's I think it's it's it's it's awesome really. Right. 24 years old. Don't go if you're make sure the age gap is not too large. You know what I mean? Right. But if you go for like let's say the age gap like 20 years um or 30 years might be a little bit of um a stretch man. I think when you go to 40 then that's a problem. That's a big big problem. You understand? Normally guys should be older than the women. So the women will respect you more when they can look up to you really man.
Honestly, right? And uh yeah make sure the dude they have something for themsel. So in Kenya, the woman I have right, she's from the tribe that runs Kenya. They are business sort of tribe.
They call it Kakuyo people. Um or Kaka, I apologize. She's like, she your Swahili is so bad. Opora.
And she like, you'll never learn Swahili. And I was like, relax, man.
Relax. Oh yeah, South African women's as well. And I used to believe that until I I saw what happened in South Africa. Oh yeah. Um I got to find a woman that that like leaving the country life. That's my only problem.
Where can you find that? Go to Africa, man. Um for example, the reason why we recommend Kenya because a lot of the women they love their culture. Yeah. And uh of course in some of them leave their villages and then they move to the capital city for work. You understand right? They still uphold that. So for example my girlfriend right their family they they're well off you know they've never asked me for nothing. I mean I went there they celebrate my birthday for me right they're not they've literally never asked me for nothing.
They have like what is it 10 cows they they have a big farm. They have like what is it two to three acres land you understand right and then they have their home there and I was like damn damn bro that is awesome then the one thing their family isn't too big as well so she she has a brother two brothers the one brother living in in in Dubai the other brother working for the government you understand right so before I met her man I met so many trash bro I ain't going to lie to no one before I met her nah Some of the women I met, you just have to be careful. Some just want fun, you know. So, you can definitely find it. I think if you spend one month in Kenya, you will definitely find a good one. But of course, and just be careful for the gold diggers because I met some women who like, you want to buy me this food and some don't even show appreciation, boy. But Kenyan womens are awesome though. That's the thing I will say. They are so open. You got East Africa, I would say. East African women super super duper open.
You will be spoiled. I'm telling you. If you're a single man, you move to Africa or you go for a visit, you look at the right, you go in the right places, you it will blow your mind, you know. It will literally blow your mind. You'll be like, damn.
And say rest of the year is average um 70. Oh, June to July. The rest of the year it's average 70. Oh, that be talking about their the their hotness.
Oh, let me I think I missed some comments. Sorry, one second. I got to find a woman. Oh, I think I read that one. I was hoping it wasn't too hot in summer. I hate anything over 75 degrees.
Um or I see. Um where are you from? UK is only really for um what is it for? For six weeks in the UK. Yeah. I mean, he's talking about the the weather climate.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. The it's [ __ ] It's miserable. Like the UK was voted the most miserable country in second. No, the second most miserable country in the world. Yeah, the weather is bad. It's not a stereotype whatsoever. It is true. Our weather is rubbish. It's so bad. Especially in London, it rains so much, man. There was there will be a time. Yeah. in the winter. Come around 2:00 p.m. pitch black, dark. I remember when I used to go to work. Oh man, it's so depressing.
You leave early in the morning and then you you return back from work and then guess what? It's already dark. So, daylight is rubbish really. And it's just cloudy and all that. It's not fun.
That's part of the reason why I was like, you know what? I do not want to leave. You know what? Let me get them.
Um, let me put this thing down a little bit. Oops.
Oops. I'm trying to kill myself on life.
All right. Sorry.
I'm trying to like lower this thing down. I don't know why this thing I'm trying to kill myself for your viewing pleasure.
Oh.
All right. I think should be fine for now.
Okay. Okay. I almost killed myself.
Oh, I'm back.
Better. Okay. I shouldn't even trust you, but I'm fine. Um, sorry about that.
I was in Shenzhen last month. Um, okay.
Sorry, I didn't read the last one. Well, Kenya, do they expect you to support their family? No. Well, it's all it's how you you go about it really, right? It's the it's the type of women you meet, you know? When me and my women never ask me for nothing. I mean, nothing. Of course, like you just can be greedy. Like, you know, there's some things that you just have to like just help your lady, you know what I mean, right? But it's not compos like literally the family never asks nothing for me because they're doing relatively quite well. They have every single thing right. They have um they're very educated family as well really you know um one of um what is it my lady my mom I don't want to pull my family their family business out there but I just want to give you like a little bit right so they've worked being a teacher for many years in Kenya you understand right and bear in mind Kenyan people can actually speak English very very very well you understand right they are very educated people really very educated so a lot of them probably they've worked in in the city for a long time and then it was like you know what I can't leave in the anymore. They off age so they just move back to the village. You understand, right? And uh yeah, for me, no problem. My my lady, for example, she bought a car and then she gave she gave the car to her brother to what is it? To to to do stuff for herself, right?
Because she was a model, you know, she was a um well, she was a model, but she wanted to get big. But what they were asking right some of the you know the cast sort of people they said the industry is so dirty and uh she just don't want to pursue that hence why she she had to do what she she's doing now you know she has her own business she's leaving on her own you understand right so basically she's doing relatively quite well for herself right and I was like hey I respect I respect that man when I went there what surprised me right this girl she was paying for the hotels And I was like, damn, all the girls I've met in the past, they expect that from you. Okay. Well, my British girl I dated before, right? She was doing well for me as well, right?
Um, but I would just definitely say in Asia, zero. I've never experienced that from any Asian or even black women I've dated from Asia. They just expect things from you. They just expect it. You understand, right? you know, and uh it's so sad really. But no, to answer your question, the family depends on the family. This really depends on the family. So, you just you just can't go for the first person you meet. That's the fact I'm going to tell you, right?
Um it's sad to say that. And uh but time out of time, the first girl you'll meet is not the one for you. Before I met her, I was talking to 10 girls and I was so upfront about it, right? In order for me to break up with all of them, I went on chat jeep and I was like, "Chippity composed something very lovely and nice, you know, that doesn't mention that, you know what, I'm seeing somebody else because he don't want them the other ladies to feel bad." You know what I mean, right? I just said, you know, and then he did that and then guess what? I forward it to all of them and I yo some of the womens I was talking to beautiful but I was like it's not about the beauty all the time. Surely it's important, you know, for a guy. We like beauty, you know, but let's face it, man. If you feel like something is not vibing out there, right? And uh you don't see any future with that woman there. She's not talking about something serious, right? It doesn't lead to anything, let's say, meaningful, right? She's not mentioning about family. She's not she doesn't talking about that family, right? She doesn't talking about um how to grow with you business-wise. You know what I mean, right?
And then you just know that one is not the one. You understand? So for me, I started looking at that. You know, maybe when I was a bit younger, maybe I just want fun. I don't care about any of those conversation. But for me, I just feel like, you know, this one, what's the point of me um going around and all that, you know, she I like the way she is. You know, I think um you will know when you meet the right person really.
I'm not saying she is the best woman in the entire world. what she is but I don't want to like hype it like that you know of course in that my happiness is mainly for me you understand right so of course I would say definitely do that um you see where you teaching I was teaching in America but that's why I did my um a bit of um practice while I was in in the states in Missouri you know I went to some schools you know and uh but not in the UK the UK I wanted to be a footballer so because that didn't work so I just okay let me just go to university you know uh my my dream was to become a footballer I think I was good but I wasn't good enough that's why I didn't made it you know I wish man because that's the dream for most um British people in the UK British young boys you just want to like make it you want to like you know I have three younger brothers so they're all playing football you know and the other one he's actually very good he's been scouted by let's say um Miw you know Miw um look it up. It's a it's a community um sort of um let's say football team really. Meanwhile, it's very close to where we live as well, you know, and yeah, I'm happy for him, man. And I think he's like 10 years old now, the little boy, you know, they're growing.
I'm going to go back home definitely for a visit in October because it's been almost a year now I've not been back home really. So, yeah. um in the UK.
Would I want to work in the UK again?
No, I don't want to work in the UK anymore. Teaching in the UK, hell no.
It's so bad. The pay, the pay is so bad and the pressure is so high. British kids are rude.
How do I know this? Because I grew up in the environment. Kids don't want to learn. Bear in mind that education is it's not bad, you know. It's not bad.
Just the attitude really. I think the kids are a spoile, you know. And uh yeah, I would never want to work in the UK again.
You see, do you meet your girlfriend in the dating app? Oh, let me tell you. So, it's a it was a refer you know, you know, you can meet somebody, you know, basically if you know somebody, somebody introduce you to that. So, that's how you can meet somebody right in Kenya.
So, in terms of dating app, if you're a black man, go for dating app. But I will not say do that as your first choice. I would say do go up and meet them. Go to the clubs. Um I mean not clubs, I mean the lounge. The clubs are not the best place. Go to the lounge. There's so many lounges you will find in in Nairobi, especially in Nairobi. Or and one one of the one I would say go to like Kenya Kitchen. You know what I mean? Right, man. Some of the women you'll meet there. Crazy, man. There's so many l the women will go to the lounge, right?
There's this one we went to. Um, this is where I I'll pull it up.
There's a place called Alapon. Really?
Right. It's very beautiful in Nairobi.
And there's another one we went to on to the vault. The vault is another good one as well. Um, well, maybe not for everyone, but the the vote lounge. This is Oops. I'm very clumsy, man. Some of the women you will find here, jaw-dropping. Listen, I was with my girl. Yeah. And I went to the toilet and then this girl was just hiring me, man. Beautiful, right? I was like, "Nah, man. I ain't doing it. I got a beautiful lady already." So, I was with her. So we were we were just out there was just you know and a friend was out there as well.
She's just been a wing lady. Um yeah so we did a lot of stuff man. So you can people can actually um you know tell you guys to meet you know if you like something. I just saw you know I like this girl. Oh you really you want to meet her? I was like sure why not give me a contact you know. So why not? So that's how you meet people. You know you meet people. I think I prefer that what you know when you meet in a m mutual sort of friendship you know so for me um yeah I'm very happy with her you know I think this is the this is the right sort of women I want she she doesn't stress me she really doesn't stress me you know I hope it stays like that you know because I have dated South Africans you know I've never actually used dating app um for women in China never you know I use dating app when maybe back in the days before I met this girl. When I'm traveling, I just want to see what the dating scene is like. I even when I went to Kenya, I even downloaded Tinder, man. Within one day, listen, I'm not the most cutest guy in the world, right? I kid you not. I wish I got the screenshot here. I kid you not. Yeah. I I within one day, 100 matches. One.
And I'm not that cute like that. You know what I mean? Right. And the women, right? Because listen, this is the one thing I'm going to let you know, right?
Once the women know like you're a guy that is doing well for yourself, right?
Everything will just work really. Don't leave with the money. Surely not, you know, basically just just post some good pictures really I think on their site.
Really, you know, and let the pictures will speak, you know, and the women will actually ask you and they will give you their numbers really. And this is the thing I'm I'm giving out there. They will give you the numbers and they'll be like, "Hey, call me." You know, they I'm very bad at texting. Call me. And then you're going to go on WhatsApp, mate. I kid you not. Like I think I have some of some of them. Me and them will be what is it? Just I'm not going to talk to her because my girl doesn't like that. So no, you can't have any girlfriends. And I was like, "Okay, I get it." You know, she's like, "No, I don't want I don't it's not really cool. do you want me to have a boy's friends? And I was like, nah, man. It's it's all right. I get it.
You know, um yeah. So, mate, I respect them, man. Some of them on my Instagram, they still look at my stories. And that's the one thing I think uh the ones I say no to. And uh basically, they look at my story. Even when I posted on my Instagram, I don't think I have Instagram on this app.
Yeah, I do have Instagram. Even when I posted her me and her I think I'll go on my Instagram feed. When I posted me and me me and her on my Instagram, they even liked it. They was like, "Hey, congratulation." See, that's me and her.
So, this is this is my Instagram when I posted her. So, some of them really like it, you know, and uh so we we did quite a lot of stuff really. My Instagram is actually private, you know, it's only for friends and family on there. Um, yeah. So, they they weren't they were not bitter about it to be honest because that the way I send a message to them, it was very sweet, non-dispectful.
I envy their beauty, but it just not going to work. I didn't mention that I'm seeing somebody. So, they did. I think of course women will understand really.
They will know. Women know, man. I think it's very important to make it very clear for them before you know before you hurt somebody life you know what I mean right so if you feel like you don't like them what's the point of you keeping them you know that's the problem some guys become super greedy and for me I think I can't do that because I have a younger sister you know I just don't want you know um yeah Alapon yeah you can you can look it up yeah the place called Alapon and I don't want any woman to um you know to feel bad in that way you understand right so I just want to make it very clear and then I don't want to like hold them take opportunities away from them right misleading them and for I think they will respect you for that as well you know what this is a good guy you know they will wish to have your type you understand so once you see somebody that is good for you then go for it stop playing around because diseases actually is it out there HIV and and all the stuff, right? It's surely out there. You know what I mean? So, yeah, I think this conversation just took a a left turn.
We're talking about black Americans.
Anyways, man, it's awesome, man. So, this is I think this is what unites men, you know, women, you know what I mean?
Women surely, you know what I mean? So, yeah. Um, is it true lots of ladies that go to those venue prefer white tea?
Not true. In Kenya, not true. I'm telling you if you are from the UK, America, western western country, in fact Nigerian guys are highly profile as well in many African countries really, right? Um but I'm just saying man if you come from a country because let's let's let me let me make it very clear women want a guy that can elevate their life.
You know what I mean? They may not need the money from you, but of course, women like to play a sort of um long sort of game. They they they they're very good at assessing what the life going to be like in the future, right? They don't want to be with somebody that is going to bring their standard down. You understand? So, basically, women are very calculative wherever you go. You understand, right? And it's the same for you as a gas boy. You want the prettier women. So, of course, make sure you go for the right one. You understand?
Right. So, um, yeah, women will find it incredibly hard for them to date down.
They don't want to date down, they want to date up, you know. So, of course, in the US you as a black man in a all black country, bear in mind in Africa, you as a black man, yeah, you have all the saying, you understand?
This is not to bully, but trust me, man.
You go to Africa, you are the preference. Yes, there are some women in Kenya in most African countries who like who don't mind don't mind with a black guy. But I'm telling you for sure, right? This is fact.
African women prefer black men, you know, they prefer a black man because it's easier for for them to take the black guy to their family. You understand, right? And it's not going to be weird and whole strange. You understand, right? So with a white guy the price tend to get a lot more higher when it comes to a loba or bride price.
You understand right? So um well the good thing about Africa the bride price isn't so high compared to um um Asian countries or western country although western countries don't do bride price but you do that in a form of wedding that the wedding tend to be a lot more expensive right so the bride price in most African country expect to be paying what is it let's say 3,0004 to4,000 so equ,000 you know for example in Kenya my my my lady brother because I'm actually in contact with her brother as well. So you speak to the men, you know, if you want to know much about that.
They was like, "Oh, you need to um buy and 100 and let's say what is it? Um what is it called again?
Cow or sheep or something like that." I think 100 something like and he was like, "Well, I said, "Okay, what how much is that in dollars?" Oh, around 4,000. I was like, "Oh, okay. That's not bad. That's not bad. You know what I mean? Right. And the good thing is you don't have to pay off and upfront. You know what I mean? So you can pay that overtime depending Well, of course. And if you're coming from the west, chances are, you know, and uh you have that money. You understand? You're going to be like, well, that's that's so inexpensive. And uh yeah, I think the culture is very very rich as well. I think most people will think you're buying a woman. Nah, that's not it. It's more like a culture. It's a sign of appreciation really. Right. my my parents they've done that you understand so you can't hide or run away from it it's not just unique to Kenya it's the whole damn Africa everywhere and it's a finger spot in China in in most Southeast Asian countries and that's that's fact so to answer your question yes um Kenyan black women from Africa love black men you know and uh they do prefer you a lot of them actually they're quite scared to be with a white guy because they feel like some white guys will most guys they've been you know unfortunately some some of them can be uh not so fun with them you know like they they tend to mistreat them especially when they take them to a let's say to the west they tend to um threaten them oh you know what I'm going to take you back to Africa you know it can be harsh to them and all that right so you're the woman it's quite a lot of them it's a lot full of women to go into that white culture and into their family and all that, right? So, they just feel like too much pressure. You know, it's quite a lot of pressure on them. You know, that's what my lady was telling me say like, let me tell you, most Kenyan women don't really prefer white guys. They normally go for a white guy mainly for opportunities.
And that is fact. But is there a chance if you are as a white guy, you can find a genuine Kenyan woman who is actually into you? Absolutely. You understand, right? And uh if you look at things like that, you never know exactly uh the contract between those two people.
Chances are those women, they're basically um what is it? Just one opportunity. Basically, my my lady work with women. She speak to women every day because she has a saloon, you know, and then when the women will come up to her and she was telling me, "Oh, this woman, they come, they just want to like, you know, look good for the white guys. So the white guy can sponsor them." And this ladies, they have multiple white guys to sponsor them. and I was like damn damn. So yeah. Um now I think that's it. So that is good to hear. I guess with um Austin Halleman can do well. Oh absolutely. Austin Halleman is very very and good-looking man. It doesn't mean I'm gay. No, he's very very good-looking, you know. And uh he will never have any issue in in Kenya or in any African countries. You understand?
Right. And uh and the one thing I would say African women also prefer, it's not entirely looks, you know, they prefer character. They really do. They prefer guys that can lead, you know, that you have a plan, you know? So, yeah. And that's why you see some, let's say, some African guys with a big belly, you understand, right? And we have some body, I mean, proper body. And then you be like, why? What does that guy have? I don't have. You like, what don't that guy have? you start asking well that guy have a lot of um thing they do and bear in mind African guys are not stingy especially west African guys well yeah mainly west African guys where stuffing not stingy especially Nigerian guys they're not stingy they will literally treat the lady well for me I think this the one thing black men we need to start prioritizing right we need to start prioritizing our women I think that's the most important thing we need to start giving them the love You know what I mean, right? Um, basically because at the end of the day, that's the reason why many of our relation um, the homes tend to break and I've seen this happen time after time. I think once we start let's say loving our women instead of our kids, you know, yes, we can love our kids, man. They will grow up and they will move in the future. You understand, right? I don't have any kid at the moment, but of course, and I will love my kid when I have one, but I will love my wife more. My wife is my priority in the future. That's it. my wife, then you have my kids, and then my mom, and then you have my siblings. You know what I mean? That's it. That's the order I put it. You know, not to say I don't like my mom. I don't like my siblings, but my wife is the person I I see every day.
She know she's going to know a lot more.
She know a lot more about me, right? I wake up with her and then, you know, we do stuff together and we most likely going to grow old together. You understand, right? So basically um African women like you to lead you know they do not want to take the leading position. They know where they are especially the cultural one. That's the reason why when I was looking for a good Kenya and African women I was looking are you close with your parents? How close are you? Listen, she went back home to her mom, you know, and um she went she went back home to her mom yesterday and she was like, "I feel I feel so good." And I spoke to her mom because it was a national um women's day yesterday, right? And I was like, "Hey, is it yesterday or something?" I think it was yesterday, right? Yeah. Um and then I just say hi to her. Really?
Right. And she Yeah. Awesome. They never asked me for nothing for me so I can be just nice. You know what I mean? I was like, "You know what? Um, you know what?
I just this a surprise. Can you just give her um 20 and 3,000 um Kenyan shillings and I'll send the money to you?" And then she did. She was like, "Oh." And the mom was, "Oh, thank you.
Thank you. You don't have to do that."
And I was like, "No, it's okay." You know, um it's a special day, you know.
So, I do that for my mom, you know, basically. So, why not? Um basically that's the one thing they never put any pressure on me you know because they've been doing well for themselves for a long time you know no matter what man I think we can be greedy so whenever you can you can help them but you have to make it very clear with your lady hey I'm not here to sponsor the entire family you know make it very clear and uh basically of course don't try to see like every African people don't let's say homes basically they rely on foreigners because you have that the one thing why they will vote for you because they know of course you're going to improve their status. fact once they have a kid with a black British or black Americans right your kids their kids will become automatically British for example or automatically Americans you understand right and that is fact I don't know if I'm American but for us if I have when I have my kids automatically British all I have to do just apply for it and then show my birth certificate and of course in my passport you know and then that's it automatically right so which is awesome um for do you meet O'Shea Duke Jackson O'Shea. I think he's based in Uganda. No, I didn't get to meet O'Shea. You know, O is a busy guy really. Um yeah, I I was I used to watch OSHA content a lot, but recently he just shift towards FBA stuff. I think maybe due to frustration he probably experiencing Uganda trusting people and all that, right? People letting him down, you know? Like I said, like there are people who will be out there. You got to be careful, man. Really, really be careful really. Um, so yeah, I don't hate OSHA. I think OSH is an intelligent. I see as a big brother, you understand? I'm I'm young. I'm just legally chubby. You understand? I'm 31 years old, you understand, right? And then Ohea probably around I don't know.
I don't know his age. But yeah, um, yeah, I think he's a he's a I think he's a very intelligent sort of guy, you know what I mean? Right. So yeah, it's a bit sad how, you know, some frustration can make somebody say some crazy stuff or whatsoever, but I don't have any beefing with O'Shea. I think he has done a lot more for a lot of Africans in Kenya.
Ohea and a lot of people say he's a very generous guy, you know, and I would not be surprised really. He has that sort of um look to him really. Um so that's the thing. I don't like to put people down, but of course in disrespect is one thing I do not tolerate at all. Right. So I I did I wish I would have um I would have gone up to um what is it and Austin Halleman because I saw in one of the race calls sort of thing. But I was actually filming um video while I was you know I was actually talking to somebody else really. So of course in that you know he likes his cigar and drinking a little bit right. I don't drink I don't smoke really. So basically um you are going to meet black Americans and then then I think you're also going to meet black British as well when you are in Africa you know so definitely definitely man I would say um yeah ohe I never had a chance to meet him you know I wouldn't mind to meet some people you know from different part of the world really and uh Africa is a good place man there's a reason why o has been in Africa for a long time you you know, he may not like to disclose his personal life out there, you know, but of course and surely it's pulling some babes out there, you know what I mean, right? Um, that's fact, you know what I mean? So, I would definitely say, um, yeah, I think in Africa your looks doesn't really matter, but of course, if you if you look nice, surely it's increase your chances really. Um yeah, it's all about how well you take care of yourself in terms of like the way you present yourself and if people know like you know what you're you're g with standard then surely you will not have any issue.
So anyways that's it. Thank you so much.
That's all I have to say. I appreciate all of your um comments and uh I need to speak to my lady now. It's it's 12 here midnight and I appreciate you. So yeah, next time I'll see you in the next live. For now, I'm just tired, you know.
So yeah, let's stop all the hate, you know. Black, whether you're black, African, American, British.
The most important thing is if we're unite, that's the one thing they don't want us to do. Unite, man. They don't want that. Because if they if they see like we're all unite, boy, is it it's a game over. You know what I mean? So that's it. Um yeah. Do you post on Tik Tok? Um no I don't. I only post on on Instagram. I mean say on YouTube you know all the other platform I'm not really interested on those platform to be honest. Um Instagram private mainly but YouTube is what I post. I just feel like um I can reach more people on here.
But of course in in Tik Tok as well but I don't like those platforms. That's what in fact Tik Tok doesn't work here in China. Even if you use VPN, you know, I don't know. I don't know why it's not working here. So, yeah, Tik Tok. I I try sometimes to go to Hong Kong and then I can just use Tik Tok or just go on on YouTube and look at compilation um videos of people talking about cost of living and then that's it. That's the only time I can access it. But Tik Tok doesn't fully work here. Unless if you use some more advanced sort of VPN, then it will work. So that's it. Thank you. I appreciate you. Um that's all. Bye. See you later.
