It's not wierd at all. It's not like enslaved children were being raised by Europeans. And Africans were being brought to the USA for slavery well up until the late 19th century.

It was completely intentional and with full knowledge.

I do look at the african cultural dances much like Native American dances. There are so many similarities.

Jane Eyre ikr

They didnt do ring shout though

Im indonesian and same here❤️

There was a white playing the drums in the background

But no one is complaining here

Hadouken C it was affirmative action. See it works.

Sounds like you are complaining cuz you want people to complain but no one is lol This comment is 5yo, I hope you got over your own personal insecurities. I don't know what made you think white people don't like African culture.... but whatever. We are all the same to our Lord, don't let the past stop us from moving forward. Peace!

​​@@ByGraceThroughFaith777 there are other comments that mention hateful comments. So using basic logic and common sense, which I understand not all of us have, one may conclude that since you commented 5+ years later you don't see the negative ones because you didn't do the bare minimum and scroll down before running off at the mouth. Lol. Least liked comments drift to the bottom, that's literally how youtube comment sections have worked for as long as I can remember. And anyone who has used YT since it's inception can tell you that Anglos leaving hateful comments of any video that doesn't center them is an old American pastime at this point. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Layla Rose We love you too❤️❤️❤️

Me too🥰🙋🏾‍♀️

@@kiyana8928 what?

We love you too sister

+Matthew Youngblood how? They do vids like this all the time

Not really since dance in an integral part of any society.

Seems you were right, but I don't get it, why? (I'm not from USA, so I really don't understand)

yeah I completely get it,I don't know your culture either, but dance as an art form is prevelant in most societies, and if you look at TED-ED's repertoire you're not going to find the video very different than most of it's culture and art related content.

Jorvanius Some people in the US think that talking about these things pushes a narrative. Common complaints will say that dance and social dance isn't just a "black" thing and try to downplay, justifiably or not, black people's involvement in the history of dance.

Why you say that?

Maybe this is a chapter to an array of videos referring to culture.

this video is Africa american though not Haitian

+Thomas clueso Huebner Haiti is in America (ie. the Americas). Nearly all of Haiti's population is made of West African immigrants who people around the world now call African-Americans. meanwhile, they showed two Central American dances, one of which was Hatian in the video around 0:40. Are you criticizing Phillipe's comment to inform him? or are you just being pedantic? Personally, I find it inspiring and touching that Phillipe is happy to see part of his native culture shown to a broad audience like this... even though it is only a small branch of a large cultural phenomenon.

when ppl talk about america, much of the time it's white north America they mean, not the Caribbean. I wouldn't called Haitians African American, but simply hatian.

Thomas clueso Huebner but she did mention Haiti that what the original commenter was referring to

_"Not trying to be racist, but black people are so awesome."_ How dare you!

+Crimp You're awesome... What you said is really nice, and you're right, it doesn't matter how you look. I wish everybody could think the way you do. :)

💪💪

hello fellow Indonesian :D (damn rare to see another Indonesian in channels like this)

It's great to see indonesians who also think alike. I wish the world can one day be united and religions, race, status or way of life wouldn't matter in our society, and like what Martin Luther King once said, people will judge us not by the colors of our skin, but the content of our characters. I pray that my friends in school also realizes this thing, so they would stop and change their way of thinking about race and religion in Indonesia. Have a great day, dudes!

Kick rocks

Thanks 🤘🏾

What's funny about that is. The very people who are always saying that be the main ones who partake in our culture on the daily, more than they like to let on

@Freda More Umm you ok?

True.

this video is still lit tho

same reason Adele is white but can sing..... its a flook

Recluse Otaku I feel you :-(

+Bree K. Really nigga

It’s easy!

jason, in spite of the horrors of slavery, blacks were resilient enough to use dance as a means of mental escape. and this has evolve into popular culture. with that being said, i dont know why you would feel upset. everyone should be in respect the resilience of the descendant of slaves (of which i am one living in the Caribbean). its not easy for a people to survive and strive after 400 years of slavery.

Anton K internet bully..lol..stop disgracing yourself. spewing insults to people you dont know. try to turn you life around and practice living by ethical standards. thats my advice to you.

White culture likes to be the ONLY pretty girl in the room and CENTER OF ATTENTION.

yessss , proud to be African

Waad Safi same😊😊

because it doesn't include white people so it's obviously a video on black supremacy, kappa

Or maybe that it isn't animated? But it might be lots of other idiotic reasons too.

Envy.

Hats off to you, who boosts all the good cmts on top!

yeah

nah, it's just a butthurt of dumb ppl gettin triggered by some single trolling posts...

No it's all just self-victimization. They think white people are evil therefore if someone dislikes the video they must be white and doing it because they're racists apparently

Ayo Ilesanmi Well, while you make an eloquent argument I have to disagree. The majority of the comments are /talking/ about white people voting this down but the people voting it down are often saying things like 'Why isn't this animated'. Considering this video is pretty different from the usual fair it is not unreasonable to believe that people are upset about it. Throwing racism around like confetti only serves to water down its meaning. Like the story of the boy who cried wolf. Now let's get back to being sensible adults and love one another, k?

I was just about to say the same thing - I can't see any hate, just positive comments. Maybe they have been moderated....???

There was, they're all down below. Beware.

No. People are just spontaneously ignorant.

I think it was probably the 'white teenagers' comment

Or the "Latin America" part, matter of fact the United States is part of Latin America ._.

Kriegerdammerung a thumbs down for that? Lol wow

yeah.. about the so many thumbs down part...

Yeah I think moderators are deleting comments, you can see the hate comments if you order the comments by "most recent" instead of "top rated"

***** I don't really like that turn. I don't like the idea of someone ignoring racist people FOR ME like I can't just do it myself.

wow thats a cool perspective, never heard it like that before; pushing it a little further, I really try to find things I disagree with. helps me find me

White people

@Joseph Penigar EXACTLY🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

LOL

Maybe those people just think we're all equal.

JonnyNice umm yeah? Your point? I don't think it's racist to just talk about one culture.

Dad Snatcher I mean it reenforces and perpetuates the stereotype that people with different skincolors are somehow distinct groups of people. Which is inherently racist and false. But I'm sure the intent of the video was good. I quite enjoyed it myself. KZfaq is an open forum, and people WILL express their opinions. That's a good thing, no? When within a society there is no more disagreement or discussion, you know something has gone terribly wrong. Luckily, we're not at that point yet. That's a good thing, wouldn't you agree?

My kneejerk reaction was negative because I was half expecting someone to explain white privillege to me tbh. My guess is other people got that vibe and disliked without actually watching at the video. Blame the sweetheart at the top of the page going on about white supremecy. Who knows maybe they just didn't like the dance moves.

but people from different cultures are distinct. I think that might be your problem, we aren't all the same, we are different and can be grouped together in different races which is not a bad thing. I love learning about other cultures and races. It doesn't bother me, I'm not sure why it bothers you...?

Boy

Lol!😊

That can never be. Appreciate the optimism, though.

PREACH

Talk about having a defeatist attitude Mr. Brick, of course it will never happen with that type of outlook, you've already given up on it ever happening and have *ZERO* faith in it. You won't even give it a chance to flourish, instead you've basically trampled on the sprout and decided its fate. Humanity is capable of *ANYTHING* it sets its hearts and minds too. Literally. As long there is will, there will be way. We simply forge ahead regardless of any obstacles or hurdles that may line your path. Humanity has been capable of numerous wonders throughout history. Empires have come and gone, entire civilisations and their technologies have been developed throughout the ages and rediscovered by those who are keen to peer into the past to understand ourselves better. We live in an age where you can literally speak with anyone across the globe, we are in the beginning stages of becoming a global family, one that should celebrate our multiculturalism and accept one another despite our differences (provided they do not impose upon the freedoms of another) and realise that ultimately deep down, we are all the same. We all have the same red blood pumping through our veins. We all live by and fight for our beliefs and our morals. We all experience love, fear, sadness, happiness, joy, misery, jubilation, hurt, loneliness, anger, exhilaration. We all believe what we are doing is right, regardless of whether it may be misguided or not. We are all experiencing this peculiar little game called life currently without any instruction manuals. We have produced countless numbers of works of art, musical pieces, films, technologies, methods of transportation, scientific discoveries and breakthroughs, philosophical enquiries, infrastructures, historical monuments. You name it and we have done it, or at least attempted it. I think we can handle getting along with one another, after all in the grand scheme of everything this is nothing compared to what we have already achieved as a whole. All it takes is *understanding*, *empathy* and some *RESPECT*. Not labelling, not dismissing, not mocking, not deriding/ridiculing, not categorising. Simply look beyond the superficial exterior and armour that may be adorned from growing up in our collective neighborhoods and learn to see yourself in another. We are all part of one gigantic family, *Every*, *Single*, *One*, *Of*, *Us.* We are 🌎 ＮＥ. We all live in the same household, instead of constantly arguing and bickering with one another arguing over who's right and who's wrong and other petty squabbles we should just learn to respect each other for our differences and similarities and perhaps, maybe just perhaps celebrate one another. I believe we are capable of at the very least getting along. It needn't be sunshine and rainbows and kittens, just respectfulness, compassion and understanding. Provided your ideologies do not restrict the freedoms of another or impose harm upon another then go ahead.

David Brick I agree. White people will NEVER change, so we might as well accept that as truth

Sasa Hafsa I know! She's beautiful, isn't she?

Sasa Hafsa yes, I was checking her arms out! 💪🏻

His dancing is very fluid. He looks to be at least 50. He is out dancing the younger man.

*trump voice* CHINA

Obama

Me!

They are jealous of us. These pussies will try to imitate us.

Latin American dances are really related to American dances, we Hispanics got our moves and a lot of our music from our black ancestry mixed with native Americans and Spaniards, it would be really interesting to see all the correlations

black ancestry? What about white ancestry? Or yellow, or green, blue grey, hey..even red ancestry??

and Europe/ north america

@J Peavy and Mayo!! LOL!!! 😆 I

*she

Your right. Perhaps a part 2?

The was about african Americans not Latinos

YASSSSS! That would be an awesome one, especially on latin american music! Como la fleur....! lol :)
