Mostly because a ton of Africans don't seriously study history in school until uni, if even then,much less the history of the United States and African Americans so the ones who make those type of statements are usually doing it from a place of ignorance. Often it takes them decades of lining in the US to realize certain things. Others know what to expect but choose to deal with racism like a sort of 'immigrant tax', the price for the American dream.

@barbiedreamzown reason I say Black (Caribbean) American is because while I acknowledge that I am literally a Caribbean American, I am socialized as Black / African American by American society. With the exception of keen Caribbean people, nobody is thinking I am anything other than African American. That's just how it is growing up here, if you are Black then you are put in the bucket of being African American even though that history does not inherently apply to you. Especially since I am able to articulate myself in an "American" accent, have a White sounding name, do not overtly wear or use anything that ties me to my Caribbean identity, or have any specific ethnic features that may allude that I am anything other than African American. Saying that I'm not a Black/African American doesn't make sense in that context. I am treated as one by society, so that is my lived experience. Even when I go back to the islands, they treat me as a foreigner despite my ethnic routes. Intersectionality due to nationally makes ethnic/racial matters more complex than one may think.

While it is tragic, they need to stop thinking they're the only ones that suffered. People of all races were slaves at one point or another and the transatlantic slave trade was NOT the worse of all-time. They need to start blaming their own people, the Africans that sold them to the Europeans for weapons. Blame the Jews that owned and operated the ships that brought them over. Staying in the victimhood mentality will always give them a reason to blame others rather than taking action of their own lives to better themselves and their culture.

As an African, I also think that because we are immigrants and had the choice of coming to America, that experience in itself will be quite different from African Americans who were initially forced to come over and went through generations of being in a system that didn’t allow them to have opportunities for career growth . Most African immigrants WHO do come over, have at some capacity exposure to education, work experience or connections. Not saying there are Africans who don’t come to America struggling but coming over to America requires most immigrants (especially African immigrants)to have some sort of aspect that makes them “valuable” for them to even attain a visa. I really don’t like when people try to say that Africans are more “successful” than AA cause we work harder and are not lazy. AA are just as successful but there are still families that are still going through that cycle of poverty and trauma due to slavery. While most Africans who happen to migrate to America with a set plan with high exposure are probably going to be successful anyways and instill that in their children. Comparing both groups in numbers regarding success misrepresents it cause keep in mind there are Africans back home who are also still trying to break cycles of poverty. So I’m just saying that immigrant experience is very much distinct than that of AA experience.

Completely agree. The US government does not select just anyone to come to the US, since many people would come here and be burdens on US society. They select people who have already demonstrated that they can persevere and achieve some level of success in their own countries. These are people who have already *proven* to be ambitious and talented in their own countries, but just need the tools of a first world country to really reach their potential. These are the kinds of people the US selects. Thus, immigrants in general (not just Africans) are more successful than *all* native-born Americans (not just African Americans) because they were selected specifically for accomplishments they've already made before they even got here. That's certainly a compliment to immigrant populations, but it's not reflective of their cultures in general.

What I’ve noticed in regards to AA progression is; while there are programs available to apply for to get grants for small business or loans, when large amounts of Black people begin to apply for things like that rules and laws are created to slow the progression or loan rates are higher because of where they are from-the red line comes into play. So you move forward a bit, but “don’t try to get past or catch up” to others.

Slavery is an ugly part of history, but it is necessary to note that it is not only a part of Afro-American history, but of world history. White Europeans were slaves to Arabs, Mongols and Turks long before they themselves enslaved others. It is also important to note that four of the five greatest abolitionists were white and that by the time slavery was abolished in the US in 1865 there were approximately 32 million of people living there (27 million of whites, 4 million ob blacks, < a million of others) and now there are 332 million of people. The ratio between fertility rates and the number of immigrants and their share of the total US population from 1860 to now indicates that most of the today's Americans aren't direct descendants of Civil War Era Americans. If I had to give a percentage, I would say that about 20% of Americans can be linked to that time.

I mean we may understand it but you don’t fully understand something unless you have been through it. It’s easy to think “why’re you complaining when you literally have water?!” And not think about how everyone has struggles and Racism is a struggle black Africans have gone through. We have all suffered, no one’s suffering is less. It is all painful at the end of the day. I wouldn’t say I completely understand racism now but I am grateful for every black American who fought through resilience and effort to open doors for all black/African people because without them we would not have Africans in America at this point seeking opportunities.

I like how it's been understated throughout this conversation that if you don't know much about a certain history but choose to educate yourself on it, you'll comprehend it. Whether you are African and have personal experience with colonialism and neo-colonialism or African American and have your fair share of experience with the systematic prejudice from the White Supremist system. I'm Kenyan, and I've always wondered why growing up, the media made me feel inadequacies about my skin color, hair, and so on, and why I unknowingly longed for what I wasn't. Now, being on the anti-racist journey of educating myself on the past is helping me make sense of so much that I'd have otherwise been blind to, and the bigger role these things play in propagating the white supremist narrative. I'm even beginning to understand where so many inequalities in colonised countries stem from, and this helps me in unpacking how I want to serve and contribute in the world! To quote Neely Fuller Jr, “If you do not understand White Supremacy (Racism)-what it is, and how it works-everything else that you understand will only confuse you.”

I think that’s a big reason why this topic was requested so much (and Jubilee knows it)

What questions?

@@itumo2645 like I would've liked to hear whether Africans feel that its cultural appropriation when black people in America (or anywhere else) wear traditional African clothing. With this group, I don't think they would've, but I still would've like to hear it.

@@emilevanrensburg8094 In my opinion it’s really weird how people get offended when someone wears clothing from a different culture. Usually no one gets offended when it comes to people from different cultures enjoying food, television, books, movies, videos or video games from other cultures or living in other parts of the world and being friends with or even marrying someone of a different culture but the moment you wear clothing from a different culture it’s going too far and it’s offensive.

Finally! I've been waiting forever for this. I wish they included a question like "I feel misjudged by the other side." And more questions that are related to diaspora wars. That's where most of the discourse occurs.

I think most of the diaspora wars comes from not understanding the topics that were discussed in the video. Each side thinks the other has it better when in reality both groups have been oppressed. The Nigerian and Cameroonian rep kind of touched on it when they were talking about the resources that African Americans have such as running water etc. 8:40

@fatimayusuf4296 I'm African-American and my boyfriend is from Nigeria. So I don't want to see African-Americans and Africans fight. However my boyfriend and I have thoroughly talked about discourse throughout Africa and the African diaspora and have both gotten a better understanding of the other side. I wished the things that cause more discourse would have been discussed because I think we all need to have better understanding of each other.

We don’t interact with each other enough for there to be mistreatment. We tend to stay separate and judge each other based on here-say.

I thought it was interesting that those from Africa were aware of those in America and their history. I didn't hear from the African Americans as much understanding towards the struggles and experiences of those living/from Africa. It would've been nice to hear their knowledge and understanding of others struggles/experiences as well.
