@MasterGabs: WE ALL Appreciate you brother, you're a true example of "Bridging the Gap". The intelligence and empathy to see ALL sides, The COURAGE to lovingly criticize, And the vocabulary arsenal to express and soften the shots fired without them losing impact power.

Followed you on IG.. Next level eloquence man.. I really appreciate this channel and this episode. This was one of the best gap bridging real conversations ever in the diaspora.

I enjoyed listening to your story. You are well rounded

AA are not Africans we are ancient descendants of Israelites from the tribe of Judah(Jews). We were taken from the kingdom of Judah Negroland in West Africa. If you look for old map of Africa you will see Negroland.

You are calm, collected and articulate was a pleasure to listen to you. As a white fella in your country I found it interesting and I also learn from Ugandans on a daily basis All the best

As a graduate of Lincoln’s political science department, thrilled to see this reference to Kwame Nkrumah 🔸🔹

Black Americans in the south have the culture

I’m from Louisiana our cuisines are not African. We do not have African culture.

@@xocolatl3682 it’s black American creole a mix woe gumbo jambalaya ettouffe

@@marcuscole1994 I have to set the record straight. We were already here. Most of the food you see here comes from American soil. White and black Europeans who were also sent here to work plantations as less desirables ( slaves ) added some of their own touches but that’s about it. The only slaves brought to Louisiana were all from Caribbean islands and they were already in those islands for thousands of years. Caribbean’s we’re captured from their tribes and sent to America, Europe, and even to African nations because they were revered for their pearl diving and fishing skills💯🫱🏿‍🫲🏾

@@xocolatl3682 what part of Louisiana you from

If you like pan African channels I bet (Black Power Media) will not disappoint.

Nahhh

Those Africans are lying. Africans come to America and talk that TRASH. African Americans made it possible for Africans to come to America without slavery and Jim Crow Laws. If they come here with a higher standard then why are most Africans (literally) dirt poor? Africa is DISGUSTING. I’m African American over 55, and I’ve met one or two Africans who were good people. Others here can go back to Africa! ✊🏾🇺🇸

As a Jamaican, my first experience with Africans were also Nigerians, but they were like the average Jamaicans. They are confident people, and they don't look at Jamaicans as arrogant, contrary to other Caribbean countries. Haitians are amazing people, too. They are guarded, and I guess it's from not speaking English as a first language, but they are smart and down to earth. Very Adaptable and similar to some Jamaicans as well

@@sportreelz7025 👊🏿🇭🇹❤️🇯🇲👊🏿

Question..do non Haitians try to tell you that you are just an African? We're always told that. Wonder why people aren't comfortable with other people knowing who they are? I'm not pan African but was raised by one. I am a copper colored American though.

Haiti is one of my favorite places in this whole world to be. Never forget that you too are regal.

I agree for the most part. I frequently dont agree with Oshay's other channel (and even did a "don't recommend") I'm proud for him on much of his work here. He also had a solid interview by the former Passport Bro guy - who also did a solid job creating a good interview with Oshay.

I wish you would not call yourselves boys and girls. All of us are mixed also. Happy my African, First Nation, and Scottish ancestors survived. Killing each othr is just crazy, and you are going to hell in gasoline draweres.

POWERFUL WORDS!

well that's dumb logic. America on average has the richest Black People on the planet. One can ask ,why aren't they fixing the hoods and making sure every Black American is right.

@@franksmith16 absolutely BS and my question still stands.

Good questions, poor leadership, obsessive religiosity and belief in almost everything western. Africans tend to treat Africans with difference and abstract thinking as outliers to be ostracised. Immediate gains trump all.

Same reasons diaspora blacks cant hold a job or get just a simple college cert to get them a stable income.

If you can understand how the "hood" doesn't get better then its the same reason.

​@@durangobasics6195 So stupid. We are a minority thats outnumbered and dont control the system. Whats your excuse?

​@@durangobasics6195Exactly

We have always dived ourselves

I meant divided

@@yusefnegao True, which explains a lot...

You stating the obvious really. Just the same as the as the African Americans who go to places like South Africa to start businesses and become successful there, it's because of the Africans there. they weren't necessarily going to those places during Apartheid times were they?

@@madee764 lol nice try not the same at all...yall are literally dying on boats trying to get here Noone is dying to get to Africa. Maybe one day but not rn...we built this great opportunity while living in the enemies land under 400 years of enslavement If we did tht you should have been able to build better then us in your own land even with apartheid...thts truly why Africans don't like us we did more with less

@@MikeJones-qo7vt Stop it. Absolutely no one from my country is dying on a boat trying to go to some foreign land.............................. ...........Another Fact, America wasn't built by Black American intellect but rather just labour, so the Europeans could've used any other labour force and the result would've still been the same. Hence the freed men who went back to Africa and established countries like Liberia and Sierra Leone didn't do much better.

If you didn't fight for Africans to come you would just have more other immigrants from somewhere else. So it was a strategy to do that which means benefits to both sides.

@@durangobasics6195 how does Africans coming to America benefit the descendants of slavery tht built and fought.? Whats the trade off ? Africans think they are better

Exactly. What makes them elite?

Oh wow too much feelings!!!! They’re elite because they’re doing better than most of y’all. Hard to swallow 😂. Don’t be jealousy

@@africanglobalnomad I knew somebody will mentioned jealousy lol. My question still stand thought what make him an elite? He has described his background his father worked for the worldbank so he was a member of the working class. According to the World Bank Group website, the Salaries at The World Bank Group range from an average of $47,317 to $163,117 a year that's good money but it doesn't make him an elite in Africa. I'm registered as a corporate lawyer in 4 countries (Rwanda, Cameroun, Mauritius and luxembourg) so i'm doing way better than most people in Africa does it make me an elite? The firm I work for is currently handling the estate of a family that inherited $300 million in Cameroon. So, trust me, I know what the African elite looks like and I know that neither I nor the people on the stage are elites. The notion of elite refers to a minority group of people who have, in a society, a prominent place. So when we think of the African elite we think of people like Aliko Dangote, Tony O. Elumelu, Mike Adenuga, Baba Ahmadou Danpullo, Paul Fokam Kammogne etc... not people from the working class. Contrary to the popular belief among African Americans, the richest Africans are not in America or Europe. So even though the majority of Africans are poor, there is an elite in the various African countries that have substantial fortunes. As a matter of facts the richest blacks are african.

​@@africanglobalnomad If it was not for black americans leading human rights movement, africans wouldn't be allowed to enter US in the first place. I don't live in US but those who do should thank black americans and kiss their feet.

@@showa546 you kiss their feet since it concerns you so much

I’m DC Native……. And I have never heard 👂🏾 of Jack & Jill group…. WOW!!!

She’s the moderator also note that she’s yet to travel overseas so it’s not surprising that she has little to contribute in said regards

No we're not. It's not that simple.

Yes musical I surely agree with your sentiment but I tend to wear my positive cap a bit more because negative comes to humans without any effort on our part Love for the Love

I agree with this guy a little bit. I refer to myself as Black. I assume I am of African descent, however, I may never know where my family originated from. I have no connection to any nation in Africa. So I don’t call myself an African American. Having said that, I am proud to be Black, or African American, whatever I am. I know there is SOME LINAGE to Africa. I may never know what that is, but I’m proud it’s there.

AA, A are not one stop with the bullshit Africans have better love and appreciation for white folk than the very people that look like them maybe not exactly but skin folk right as a matter of fact africans like to shit on us black americans on every front dude im painting with a broad brush but to honest i personally have not felt a welcoming feeling around any of em and i see how they light up around white folk that's my experience and my take i personally feel that they think that they're better and always ready to wag their finger at us and thats just my take period

How and the hell do we black Americans track where we came from in africa we've literally been in america for centuries and no we are not African and a lot of us don't claim that shit neither we have tried and tried to ally with with no reciprocity so later for y'all and what y'all think

THEY SEE YOU FOR WHAT YOU SAYIN RIGHT THERE N DAT DESCRIPTION

It's because of misconceptions, spend more time rewriting it, and you'll get a different result. I started learning more about Haitians as a Jamaican, and I feel as though I have become protective of them. They are literally our relatives, and I think for a country that doesn't speak English as a first language, they are very involved, smart, and adaptable.

You see this scam spam in the comments above this one?.Ancestors may have put us in the predicament, but people who do this type of thing will keep the mistrust and judgment separating cultures.

Exactly. Just how they are doing Africans in Africa today

@@victoriaogunsanya9074 what?..

@@Silverbackugx I hear you

This is what White people tells you, and you believe them? Your forefathers were themselves victims

Hands down

That's not the same he talking about over 100something çollege that been historical black built for black American

@@marteza654 I'm fully aware..I'm not making an exact comparison at all...I loved drumline btw with nick Cannon from back in the day. All I'm hinting at is fine the UK black experience at universities can't numerically be compared to the states no way but its not fair to minimise presume it being a certain way and speaking for it when you weren't apart of it. Secondly, the dj black British brother i dunno if that was his experience at all as he didn't interject when it would have been nice and appropriate if he did so. Yes London is the main pocket of blacks in the UK but not the only for one and black ACS's are across uni's across the country and have been for the past 20 years. DMU in Leicester, Aston in brum, Coventry uni where I'm from and bucks new uni where i attended in high Wycombe. Respectfully would be nice to see some other black brits on this channel to speak on the black Brit experience which isn't a monolith and is ever changing. Its a story, dynamic and set of experiences few outside of the UK get to hear and appreciate and process for as varied and rich as its in its own niche way. Not comparable in numbers to the AA experience no way and that's what it is and the truth while it's a sizeable genuine apparent niche in itself not appreciated or understood internationally as what it is. Oshay speaks FOR it sometimes 🤣..I'd like to get a call up. Shoutouts to the international black community though..AA's, carribeans, continental Africans. In love 🙏🏽✊🏽🌍

Thank you 😂 🇩🇲 🇰🇳

You are right sorry about that

No these immigrants have to respect black Americans when they come to America not the other way around

@@eugenereeves418there goes your hood joker mind speaking. You imagine respect is one way street. Naah. In any case, no African is relying on ados for upkeep. Keep waiting for anybody to respect you alone. 😂

@@eugenereeves418We must both mutually respect each.

You like a gossipin female

He know u typin dat shit?😂😂 female shit

Not necessarily. I can only speak from my own experience growing up in a predominantly white European country. As opposed to other immigrants my parents chose to move to a white working class neighbourhood because they wanted us to integrate as smoothly as possible; raising their kids in an immigrant neighbourhood seemed counterproductive at the time which I can understand. What they didn't foresee were the social problems that came with living around poor whites so just like African parents in America will tell their kids to stay away from dysfunctional inner city youths, they would tell us to avoid the same type of youths who just happened to be white. It had nothing to do with them coming from an elitist background but more about their conservative upbringing. When my father looked around at his neighbours, he saw dysfunction and he wanted no part of that. Even though they were living in the same building his circumstances were different, he fled a civil war whereas they never applied themselves in life. Many of my friends' parents were functional alcoholics and 1/3 of my childhood friends didn't even graduate high school, it was that bad.

You really think there are 50 million black Americans( not immigrants) when the stats show 49 million all together?

Exactly. This is a point that no one ever brings out when doing these comparisons.

Not true at all. The vast majority of African immigrants outside the continent left for better opportunities. Most literally come from poor families. Now you are absolutely right Black Americans are indeed well of economically I mean you're American the richest and most advanced country in the planet so obviously you have way more opportunities to succeed than Africans.

​​@@raylin5905 Nah it's a matter of upbringing, there are too many distractions in the West, I know because my brother who was raised back home has a completely different outlook on life. Whereas I bought into the nga caricature and started committing crime with youths just as confused as me he kept his nose in the books. Are all AA criminals? Certainly not, but your culture glorifies violence and this mentality is being exported worldwide, just look at England.

Hmmmmm

Right, you are and should be. However, the reverse is also true. An African doesn’t owe you anything too, especially on the point of being sold to slavers. I really struggle with this point, as a person living in this current time and wonder how I’m supposed to be guilty of something that happened generations long before I was to exist

@wangarikariuki6522 well, take that up with your ancestors and the white man; this is why Africa is paying the price now and will continue to pay

@@wangarikariuki6522 I believe the suffering Africa went through the last century was karma for the slave trade that was largely paid off.

@@beezelsubwhat a nut job reasoning from you. Typical so not surprising.
