Tribalism is a form of Racism buddy!

How did Tribalism enter Africa?

@@COOPSCORNER politicians and leaders use tribalism to divide and concur..tribalism is homegrown and not imported from anywhere else

@@COOPSCORNER Tribalism in Kenya is a political construct used by politicians to work on their poor desperate constituents instilling in em hopes & fears of either gaining prosperity or losing their advantage to other tribes. Tribalism within Kenyan social circles is pretty much non existent or meek, many Kenyans from different ethnicities get along so well. It only becomes somewhat an issue during elections when politicians are seeking power positions ...

@@maxwellkariuki2930 your last name betrays you! Kikuyus are the most tribalist people in Africa and you know it!

This is the most accurate statement on here

Well said

Well said.....

The cousin to racism is tribalism and tribalism epidemic is big in kenya. So racism is here but not a major problem, the major problem is tribalism. No one will talk about it because all Kenyans are tribalistic.

Unfortunately to many of your country men are in denial

Kenya was a real apartheid state. Just that it's not talked about. As late as the 70's, no non-white person was allowed to live in Muthaiga Estate, Nairobi. The first non-European was Sharad Rao, who was the Chief Justice at the time. Even then, white people had issues with him moving there. Western parts of Nairobi were exclusively white, Parklands was for Asians, and Eastlands was for black people who were licensed to visit the city. Black people were not allowed into Nairobi without a permit. Those who made it there couldn't live in some estates, marry outside their race.

@@felixmakinda7689 it still is an apartheid state

@@thedolamitechannel2756 just that the face of it is black people 😂. Instead of British colonial administrators, we have black colonial administrators.

You forget to mention that 90% of schools in Kenya are for blacks only.

This is my MAIN reason for producing this video. To open eyes. Every Kenyan in this country is exposed to it daily 24/7. It’s up to them to open eyes to the fact it’s there. ✊🏾

Had this comment come from a Kenyan, i would have taken it more seriously

​​​@@COOPSCORNER 😂😂 sounds to me like you are bored and idle.....there are pockets of racism exist all over the world ...some places worser than others.

The different tribes hate each other and just need the smallest match to be lit for it to pop off... Just look at the 2007 election violence. Now those retards voted ICC criminal Zakayo into office 😂

Makes sense because the average Kenyan interacts within their race.

I rarely comment on KZfaq, but I will because this comment divine instead of uniting. I write all this in love, but as an African I feel we need to also speak about our experience. As a Kenyan who has lived abroad, I only became black when I moved to the US because race is not a construct that we identify within a country where the majority are Black people. My identity was based on my nationality, ethnicity, religion, and gender. However, in the US, race is a construct of identity, and I became Black. As we hold all these conversations, it is essential to understand and respect other people's experiences. For most Africans, other than South Africans, race is not a construct because they do not have to deal with people of different racial backgrounds. Therefore, Africans in the continent should not be condemned for not understanding racism because it is not their everyday experience. Africans have their own issues like ethnicity or tribalism, and that's their experience. In the same way, you want your experience with racism to be understood and treat Africans in the continent the same way. Chimamanda Adichie has discussed the same issue in her book, Americanah, and in most of her talks (i.e., Africans become Black when we move to non-black regions). Does racism exist in the continent? Of course, it does in regions with diverse peoples, but it's not a predominant issue or experience for every African. Africans fought for indipendence (i.e., Kenya and other African countries), which is why we live in sovereign countries. If Africans were docile, they would still be colonized. You cannot have a conversation if you view other groups through the lens of stereotype or 'othering.' In her famous Ted Talk, "The danger of a single story, " Adichie refers to it." We can only have progressive conversations from a genuine desire to understand "the why." Best, from an African in the continent.

White people telling the truth? Colonialism didn't end; Africans ended it with basic weapons. We may appear 'docile', but we stand our ground when needed.

@@githengu Africans are too accepting of disrespect from East Indians, other Asians and Whyte pple. Those same people live in my country Jamaica and they would never even consider treating us as badly as Kenyans and other Africans allow them to mistreat them in their own African country. Africans need to stand up for themselves and protect themselves from these invaders.

Sadly, the reality is that most African countries are still being controlled by the west in how they manage their economies. Also, there are parts of east and southern Africa where you have certain groups who go and live and segregate themselves and treat the natives badly.

​Where is this narrative derived from? Have you resided in these African countries for an extended period to formulate such a conclusion? It's crucial to remember that Africa comprises 54 countries, each with its unique economy and colonial past. Can this statement truly be applied to all 54 countries? It's worth noting that some African nations, rather than aligning with the West, lean towards other regions, such as the Middle East. To sum up, I am challenging these broad generalizations. Kenya, an English-speaking country, manages its economy differently from Senegal, a French-speaking country, or Morocco, which has a predominantly Arabic and Spanish influence. While it's true that in some countries non-Africans may be investors or wealthy, it's not accurate to assume that all Africans are willing to accept mistreatment. It's important to remember that isolated cases should not be taken as the norm for an entire country. For example, in Kenya, where I can speak from personal experience, economic growth is driven by the informal sector, which is largely controlled by Kenyans who own their own small businesses.

Where did Tribalism come from?

​​​@@COOPSCORNER 😂 you want to blame the white man for that too.....Tribes existed even before the white man landed on this continent. To say there were NO tribal conflicts then is just delusional and ignorant... Learn some African history before talking about nothing you know about.

​@@COOPSCORNERexisted way before racism

✊🏾

He probably listens to Rap music and thinks its cool. How is that much different from Hispanics in the US who Rap music and musicians have made it cool to say the N word which i think its disgusting. By the way this brother did not check this young dude on camera, maybe he did off camera but we dont know. And the sister talked about Kenyans being discriminated in Kenyan textile industries. You are the majority but unfortunately our people are docile and will accept a few mistreating them in a black country. The leaders are just as much to blame because they love to cozy to foreigners without letting them know racism is a no go area in Africa. Imagine an American or British or Indian going to the Middle East and even thinking of being racist to the Arabs.

@@muchit3629 l noticed that also that he didn't check him. Unfortunately majority of the so called leaders have been installed by the west, so they're not there to work to improve the livelihoods of the citizens. They allow certain groups in - l'm sure they don't care how those groups segregate themselves, believing they're better than the natives and running businesses where they recruit some of the natives, but don't pay them anywhere near enough to live on. There were previous African leaders, who sadly are no longer with us, who would not have tolerated such nonsense!

We dont call it, "N word". It doesnt have any effect on us and it shouldnt have any effect on anybody . If you use it on whoever call you a niggar, it wont be important but if you make illegal, it will find a way of being used on you to hurt you.

No, it’s ’Preference’. That’s a learned & taught behavior from colonization.

@@COOPSCORNER Coop if you walk around CBD with a white man what would you realize? He'll definitely get more attention and mostly from beggars and traders, it's because the trends has shown them white guy is likely to buy or give money and won't mind figures. Even though you're a foreigner they won't notice because of your skin color and so they'll ignore you. White man has mastered how to manipulate Africa's poverty to his benefit and the African has agreed to sell his soul for money.

​@@COOPSCORNER..How is that "learned and taught?"🤔..It's Capitalism in play..They do that coz they think whites will spend more..

​​@@COOPSCORNER Experience is the best teacher....you cannot transfer your experiences with racism in America because many wont relate to it. Yes there are definately effects on colonization on the continent but nothing like you face in America on a daily basis.

I am not an elite,but went to school with all races,and never experienced racism in kenya. Now as an adult living in a predominantly white country,racism maybe to the minimum.

@@patriciamuenimulwa1808 I've definitely experienced racism at Whitesands Hotel in Mombasa. I went to university in the US, and my friends and I were called n***ers in the streets of Boston. Just a one-off incident though. In the San Francisco Bay Area where I worked for a bit, I have reasons to believe that an Asian American cop was probably racist. The "elite" label was just in jest, no way I'd describe myself as elite beyond the context of a joke.

That’s the whole point of this amazing video. That second paragraph. This was well planned. But, it appears to still be working.

😂😂 And your conclusion out of that 1 interaction that all rich blacks act like that??? Amazed by your ignorance

From the first sentence It was clear you're a troll. Either with good intention or with none

this two opposing your commentary are the kind who treat there house helps like slaves, classism is real over here,

@@briopalumpus8676 Give us stats of Kenyans treating people like slaves.....give us numbers not emotional and ignorant gibberish

Going to Kenya as a black American I can say I feel more comfortable around the lower class people in that country, seems like the rich and well off people look down on you, it’s a weird dynamic but they pedestalize the white foreigners.

It would be good to note that it is the same racial minorities that had deliberately & systematically discriminated and oppressed the black majority.

SPEAK POWER TO TRUTH. 💪🏾

I disagree with everything you've said, Kenyans will treat foreigners better simply because it's a culture thing, Ethiopia wasn't colonized yet they still treat foreigners better. It's an east African thing.

​@@COOPSCORNER Trying to find similar experiences to what you have😂😂😂

👍🏾

Treating outsiders better is not only a Kenyan thing, i have experienced in more than one occasion as white Americans treat Africans better than their own compatriots ( Black Americans) my brother and his friends visited America a few years ago and we're ignorantly driving at a higher speed limit than was required! When a police officer stopped them, the officer furiously approached their vehicle, yelling menacingly until he heard their Kenyan accent, he immediately relaxed, became nicer and friendlier as my brother and his friends apologized, he even asked them about the tasty Kenyan tea! As he adviced them on the required speed limit and left !The other instances i will not mention

Kenya are by far the worst African door mats

How did Tribalism find its way into Africa?

​@@COOPSCORNERAfrican tribes had been fighting amongst themselves way before white people came. Colonialism did not bring about tribalism. It just amplified it because they put warring tribes in the same country.

I wouldn't call that a general for all north Africans

Mugambi. Namesake unafanya Nini

algeria is bussing africans and dropping them off in the sahara .

It is not a marathon to see who is more mentally colonized than the other. It is sad but the same exists worldwide and make no mistake it is disgusting. If you look at US television it is pretty clear they try to push black Americans who are are biracial even though the majority of African Americas do not look like that. The fact is the systems are in place to make us doubt ourselves. However there is no excuse this should still be happening in Africa at all. The other point is because the politicians always favor foreigners over locals, it always is the case that foreigners are more well off than locals which furthers the disenfranchisement locals feel and experience. However, as much as i do not agree with a lot of things in the Arab world, i know for a fact no Chinese, White, Indian etc is going there trying to play those stupid racial games.

My identity was defined my nationality, ethnicity, religion, and gender. However, in the US race is a construct of identity and I became Black.

Therefore, Africans in the continent should not be condemned for not understanding racism because it is not their everyday experience.

The same way you want your experience with racism to be understood, treat African in the continent the same way.

We can only have progressive conversations from a genuine desire to understand "the why". Best, from an African in the continent.

It’s difficult to be educated on something you hardly experience. Africans can also say that AA are not educated on tribalism and it’s painful talking to them about it. Context and experience shapes our realities of life.

We are taught about racism but most of us rarely interact with people outside our races. Hard or almost impossible to perceive it when everyone around you looks like you. Tribalism is what we are sensitive too because it applies to us. Some Kenyans working with Chinese and Indians have experienced racism though.

@@githengu extremely well put. African Americans live and breath racism and they find it hard to believe that Africans do not relate to their experience. They expect us to hate white people while we are more interested in learning more about other cultures. We care more about education than your typical African American. Most of what is described in this video as racism is actually classicism.

That’s why I take the road less traveled. #COOPSCORNER ✊🏾
