Wow you have an interesting story. Did you get to visit Angola

@@juanacastillo1772 not yet, unfortunately. I'm planning on going next year.

Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it! 🙏🏽

I'm so happy you enjoyed the video! It's wonderful to hear that you stay connected to your Cape Verdean heritage. With relatives in Portugal you have a truly international family!

@@FreedomIsMineOfficial Apart from Lisbon, in what other cities/towns are there considerable numbers of racist people we should avoid like these: prruk.org/extreme-right-escalates-violence-in-portugal/ and www.theportugalnews.com/news/anti-racism-association-vandalised-in-portugal/55334

@Luke Marc Yup, been watching on Flixzone for since november myself :)

Thank you for watching!

im cape verdean descent my parents immigrated in montreal canada , lived in a Portuguese neighborhood and the racism and ignorance was present from 80-90 now its still there but gente agora tem mais juiz

That's why I refused to move from my american continent to Europe Ireland with my Irish husband, me being afro-central american and our children. I did not want to feel like an outer space aliens👽 in public so we ended up in banja California and I love it. I don't mind visiting Europe but to live no way

I am half Capeverdian, from being so let me explain to you what I know. Cape Verde is the name of the country and not the people and Capeverdean is the nationality. So the word “Capeveardean” is not the name of an ethnicity but the nationality of people born in Cape Verde. In terms of race, there are Capeverdeans that are mixed (the majority, I believe), black and actually some are white (very rare). There is not a specific ethnicity.

And he born in France.

It’s black people not “blacks”

@@liv_by_nature400 TELL EM 🤦🏿‍♂️

@@liv_by_nature400 You can say "Blacks". What's wrong witht that?

MOST of them came from Portuguese colonies not Nigeria,togo and Benin

@@rossbank7248 in 1540 oba Esigie in modern day Nigeria had Portuguese living and working and fighting for his kingdom, the son of the oba was hosted by the Portuguese crown in Portugal he even married a Portuguese woman, he was not an anomaly he was one of many Nigerians in Portugal sent to Portugal thanks to materials, food items, weapons, arts traded between the Portuguese and the kingdom of Bini if you do not know why not ask instead of jumping to conclusions. Obviously today the majority of people in Portugal would be people from Portuguese speaking countries it however does not mean people from elsewhere especially as at the 1400, 1500 and all that didn't come from elsewhere other than Angola, in case you didn't know the Portuguese reached West Africa before they reached Angola, but when Europe shared Africa for themselves Portugal got Angola and Britian wanted Nigeria and Ghana while France got almost every other west African country so Portugal's dealings in places like Nigeria ended

@@Biobele bro I'm not saying that Portuguese never reached in west Africa, there's no evidence to say that Portuguese reached west Africa before reached in Angola..Portuguese reached east Africa earlier more than probably Nigeria too....Portuguese and Arabs captured slaves from Mozambique,Malawi,Tanzania and Kenya too and shipped them into Madagascar,india,Pakistan, Saudi Arabia,Turkey,Iran,Iran , Portugal,Spain,Qatar,Oman ,Seychelles,Mauritius,French reunion, United States of America, Brazil, Caribbean island,Comoros island,UAE and many more...I'm not saying that there's no afro Portuguese came somewhere else apart from Angola...

Where and how did you do your dna

@@amcadiz its natural, being from the caribean you can find portuguese and galician dna easily

The Portuguese mixed with locals it was more common than what people think

You are correct slaves had been taken to Madeira , however what you didnt mention is that eventually the portuguese ( in madeira ) got feed up and decided they no longer needed slaves for the hard labour on the island and did all the work themselves and had the slave population transported of the island to other areas.

Most of the slaves were mixed into the population during the 15th and 16th centuries. The slaves that were freed mainly stayed on the Islands. But yes the focus of the slave trade shifted to brazil after a certain point. However Azoreans and Madeirans can trace a minor part of Ancestry to African slaves brought in the initial settlement period of the islands. The production of the sugar trade shifted to brazil where it was more profitable. African slaves however were still present in thr Azores and Madeira up until the end of slavery on the Islands in the 18th century. They had jobs on the Islands, clergy also owned slaves.

So the "Portuguese" on the Islands that were "fed" up and did all the hard work themselves like you claim were the descendants of African slaves to begin with

@@johnp760 No, very little, in a small amount that may last till today from the slaves may be found in some family lineages most will be the small amount of recent mixing. Portuguese man, African woman breeding that would be the majority of type of mixing that would have occurred, very small thou. The highest point of the slave population was when they accounted for about 10% (similar as in Portugal) of Madeira's population. Madeira is definitely not Saint tome if you understand what I'm saying. Europeans are actually quite mixed between themselves, especially the euro Mediterranean peoples. Iberian, italic, celtic, germanic, Greek genes moreless along those lines. So its a silly notion that present day Maderiense all decent from african slaves. Madeira is Portuguese not african not matter how unfortunate one is indoctrinated in the present day narrative.

According to genetic studies the average for Autosmal sub-Saharan ancestry in the Azores is around 2-3% on Average i believe a little higher in Madeira around 5%. The Azores and Madeira are Endogamous populations meaning very inbred. We all branch off the same groups of the original settlers in the Islands. I am of Azorean and Madeiran ancestry, we all get some small SSA on some tests. I see Azoreans and Madeirans find records of enslaved ancestors everyday. I dont know why you have such a denial about such. It is well documented in records and genetic studies that there was a small African input into Madeira and the Azores from West African and North African slaves. If it helps you sleep better pretending that it isnt true then good for you. However your statements are not in line with genetic studies or history. I did not say the Azores and Madeira was "Sao Tome" however the input from Africans is a fact one that you feel a need to downplay clearly. My point is that Azoreans and Madeirans can also trace minor descent from the trans atlantic slave trade and the role the Islands played.

horrivel memorial. It is a recreation of a slave plantiation. Horrible!

France is on the list for later in the year! There is a lot of research to do, it's going to be a great video!

@@FreedomIsMineOfficial Thank you so much, I like your work.

All Portuguese have some North African/sub-Saharan ancestry

@@johnp760 So true brother

All Europeans have some North African/sub-Saharan ancestry. There are ancient Greek paintings that depict them as dark skin people. The Pelasgi were probably dark skinned people, I read in a Brazilian book published in 1976

No don’t think so, but there’s an area in Nigeria that was named by the Portuguese

Yes, the 1st ships departed to Africa from lagos. Lagos's name in Nigeria was given after the one in portugal.

It’s true all to do with Benin

Marega is a case hooligan fans but then you have to question if they're racist with Marega why aren't they racist with African players that play with there own club?

Following your train of thought, all Africans must be cannibals. 😅

The african genes came from african immigrants of diaspora. Since 1974.

No it arrived in Portugal during the trans atlantic slave trade. Slaves were brought to Southern Portugal starting in the 1440s, Portuguese from the south average around 5% sub-Saharan African DNA. In Alcacer do sal mtdna frequencies peak at 22% maternal sub-Saharan African origin the highest found in Europe. Portugal had a sizeable African population during the 15th and 16th century that was quickly absorbed into the bigger Portuguese population.

@@johnp760 not really man. Sorry. But the africans came to Portugal in 1974. There is not DNA tests Saying that. Sorry.🤷‍♂️

@@johnp760 the african genes found in Portugal came from berbers 7% and *never* 22% The subsaarian Africans were sent to Brazil. Not Portugal.👍🏻🤷‍♂️ It is the truth. Sorry.

"In Alcacer do Sal, the frequency of sub-Saharan mtDNA L lineages was the highest ever reported (22%) in Europe. In Pias, mtDNA diversity revealed higher frequencies of Mediterranean haplogroups I, J, and T than usually found in surrounding populations. The presence of Sub-Saharan maternal lineages in Alcacer do Sal is likely associated with the influx of African slaves between the 15th and 19th centuries" www.khazaria.com/genetics/portuguese.html

If you are in Portugal and speak portuguese just make friends. Easy!

@@FreedomIsMineOfficial Angola before Independence 1975 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d-BpgpWou6yXYKc.html

True that!

yes

@Rene, colonization in the XV, XV, XVII centuries was horrible but it's naive to say that "Angolans adopt the culture of their colonizers", as if that hasn't been happening to all cultures over time...including to the 'colonizers' themselves. If you look at history most European countries were at some point conquered, slaughtered and made slaves by other 'people'. Slavery exists for millennia and has affected people in all continents. African slavery in the XV to XVIII centuries was slavery trade 'on steroids' but not a new concept.

what is Afro-Lusophone ancestry?

@@ditocerto Lusophone is a speaker of the Portuguese language so Afro-Lusophone would be someone of African descent who is from Portugal or one of the countries that Portugal invaded and colonized such as Angola, Brazil, Cape Verde, etc.

@@jessicabw it sounds like a lot of colonial bs to me. Plenty of angolans, people from Mozambique, from Guine Bissau do not speak any Portuguese. They are not afro-lusophone. I am an angolan born in Portugal and know for a fact that it is a colonial affirmation and nothing more than that.

@@ditocerto you're free to feel however you want. I was speaking on my experience as I recently began researching my DNA and found the common link of my African ancestry on my mom's side specifically, which are places where Portugal invaded. Also it sounds like you're suggesting that I believe that Portugal is the native language of the places I mentioned. I am well aware that the places in Africa, Asia and South America where the Portuguese colonized had languages, cultures, religions, etc. Way before the Portuguese invaded. And it is, in your words "colonial bs" lmao. I agree... not sure what your issue is with what I said.

@@jessicabw Lusophone is a speaker of the Portuguese language so Afro-Lusophone would be someone of African descent who is from Portugal or one of the countries that Portugal invaded and colonized such as Angola, Brazil, Cape Verde, etc. === Again? This is the issue! It's colonial bullshit to say "or one of the countries that Portugal invaded and colonized such as Angola, Brazil, Cape Verde, etc." Keep Angola out of your mouth when it comes to calling africans Afro-Lusophones. Afro-Lusophones is bullshit and it is a colonial category to us. Maybe for capeverdians, known to reject their african identity with passion, but not for us.

never happened.

Yes, the first slaves from Africa in Portugal were taken from the Portuguese colonial period in Morocco. They made up the first slaves in Portugal, Madeira and the Azores during the 15th century.

@Nikolan Gladowski like upset, mad

I think they came here to spread their religion we learn about it in 6th grade but i forgot the other reasons 😭

I don't think it's because of them tbh before Portugal was formed all over Europe and Africa ( specifically north Africa ) there were already people conquering territory and doing all of that i think they expanded to other continents and stuff centuries later in order to prove they were the best ? Idk i feel like it's about greed

Moors are not black's

@@carolinacosta7825 "pra provar que eles eram melhores" você não sacrifica a vida de pessoas e gasta dinheiro só pra mostrar que é melhor

APTTMHY 🙌🏾

Probably Jewish

Hebrew people

They were Jews

S y'all came to a historical backed up video about African history to throw " "s on it and be weird huh?

Look into Ghana, Rwanda or Nambia. You will instantly become a majority once you land in any of these countries. Also 0 racism.

If I may comment Portugal does have minimal racist small pocket incidence of experiencing that sick mentality. But trust if you do your research Portugal is a country that I would relocate my family to because it's an amazing unique place to call to be proud of. Most places through out Portugal is stunningly beautiful along w/the people some of the friendliest folk EVER!! Racism is barely felt it's not perfect but folks in that country from White 2 brown skin get along respectfully! I would raise my family in that BEAUTIFUL, GORGEOUS beach shore line country. Take a trip and trust you will run back home 2 pack up the remaing of your life stuff!! Inexpensive 2 live there, also their fiddles are off the hooks & it's inexpensive 2 eat out, friendly people who love 2 celebrate any reason, great music, great food, great weather, low, low crime on and on!!!

Unfortunately institutional systematic racism is built into every government structure. Even Ghana, Rwanda and Namibia. The tribalism replaces racism in many places but the result is the same. Even in Jamaica, the tribalism and racism are replaced with colorism. Why not return to Jamaica? If not there I would settle for the place that I would encounter the least racist personal confrontations. That varies depending on where you're from and what you look like. I find that having an American passport and being light skinned gives me a privelege in many European countries that Africans do not get. I also love Jamaica and Ghana though and I am treated well in both places! US is home for me and I have traveled and lived far and wide but ultimately I always come back home.

I'm mixed race half Portuguese/Angolan, born and raised in a small town in the center Portugal, growing up in the the 80's/90's my family experience wasn't perfect but we adapted, being the town aliens, not easy, there wasn't many families like mine.. still I believe I had a great childhood and I'm proud to be Portuguese.. its an illusion to think there's no racism in Europe. Honestly! I felt more discriminated by Angolan "institutions" (police, airport staff, etc...) when I visited Angola for 3 weeks with my "lighter skin" then all those years in Portugal and Portugal is much more open minded now!!. Anyway, that's my experience.. (things are not so "black and white")..

@@natamaral9891 inappropriate your response. I'm still eyeing Portugal because it seems to be a safe place for families. I'm not too worried about racists being their dirty selves so long as they keep their hands to themselves before I have to unalive someone. Being Jamaican I have a strong sense of self. Proud black man of African descent and no racist can't shake that

Yes that's right!

Speak that truth bro

Thanks for your feedback Leonor 👌🏽

The truth is no one living in this time frame is responsible for what happened centuries ago it's like me personally blaming the Romans or the Moors for enslaving my people and forcing them to convert etc were not responsible for the past...Racism is still more abundant in other countries then it is in Portugal I'm not saying there least racist country but new generation doesn't care about race or color that's why you see so many living and embracing life together building families etc In my opinion we should focus on finding solutions to this problem instead of bickering like so many do on social media. It's just my opinion

@@ricardo82carvalho what new generation you talking about?

@@realliferealtalkwithbiggs777 I can only speak for myself or my generation and where I grew up there we all got along we we're all friends we all did school together and University and we have all built a life and family my oldest daughter is 13 years old and her mother was Cape Verdean it doesn't really matters I was just trying to give a example people can get along it's just matter of being open minded. I live in the US now and too be honest comparing both countries I have never seen so much racism as here but it goes both ways African Americans and White Americans I don't understand why they don't get a long like I said the past is the past we can only live the present

@@ricardo82carvalho i understand what you said in the beginning but even in the present, it STILL exist

@@realliferealtalkwithbiggs777 I know its messed up specially in the US of all places lets hope for a brighter future!

You mean Brazilians? Yea a lot of them seem to be very prejudice against Haitians…. They’re even prejudice against each other, very weird

I personally don’t like BLM for various reasons, but I agree that history should NEVER be forgotten but it should also not be used to attack people who are alive today who had nothing to do with it
