In this video, we will ask Ugandan men what they think about black Americans. This video is just for fun, don't take it too seriously.

During my stay in Rwanda 🇷🇼 I had to explain to a few Rwandan brothers that I do not use the N-word, don't refer to me as a N-word, and I raised my children to never use the N-Word. I'm disgusted every time I hear black people refer to one another as an N-word.

Brother Willie👊🏾.. I do hope you explained to that young brother how offensive that N word is and if we found the most offensive references to each tribe and moved around calling them that, maybe they then would understand. In the three years that I've been in Uganda I have been pressured to learn the local language, enjoy the local food, and learn the local culture. Not once has anyone made an effort to learn about my culture or even recognize or respect that I have my own.

You have to tell then about your culture too. It's important to know about each other and respect each other. I hate it when Africans say that word too. I hear young africans especially from well to do families will call each other that thinking they are cool.

Your movies have given them that and we can’t help you on that one. Maybe the movies should stop using that word and see how change will be experienced quickly. The screen teaches a lot of people something, agree to disagree. Movies have a role to play on the culture representation.

@@proscoviatendo5627 we don't produce those movies, so they are not "our" movies, no more than fly covered children with distended bellies, and "The Gods Must be Crazy" are your productions. It actually IS your fault if you claim to not know any better, because you certainly hold Black Americans accountable for not knowing that you don't live in trees or ride zebras to the market. The ignorant African is not good look for you and certainly a card that's been played too long

You should interview Africans that have visited America and had interactions with African Americans. The news/media has never been a friend of the African American communities. There has always been poor African Americans and wealthy African Americans.

Education 📚 Do not speak about a particular group until you do research and have experience regarding their culture. You must obtain accurate knowledge. Never say "all" of them do this or that. It is never all of them. 😑

When the topic is hip hop artists, people should know that mainstream artists are signed to labels owned and operated by non-black individuals. The artists are usually made to present a certain persona like: drugs, crime, and violence. Many of us do not commit crimes, use/sell drugs, nor are we violent. I am a Black American woman and I dont usually listen to rap music because I cannot relate to it. I am relatively older now and am a professional that works.

Overall for me is whatever the Brothers said during these interviews is based on what they know probably from the media or some other sources. The easiest way for us to have first hand information about each other is if we got the chance to interact with each other one on one, that would probably take away the biasness and clear the air on both sides. Me, i was lucky i got to meet with Willie Fungo and as his guide i got a chance to interact with him on first hand basis for all the time he was in Uganda and i can say i learnt a lot from him and i think my mindset has changed from what i thought i knew about black Americans. Otherwise Great Job Brother Willie, all the effort, time, money and creativity you put in to make sure the people get these amazing videos is much appreciated. Respect to you.

Africans often ask, "Why did African Americans did not return to Africa, to help them". During the times of colonization. African Americans would have returned to Africa to assist the Africans during those time periods. But they were going through their own problems and political struggles in America. White America, was happy and was enjoying the gains that they were getting and taking from the African American. African Americans were losing their rights to vote in elections. Millions of African Americans could not vote in the former 13 Confederate States. As well, thousands could not vote in most Northern States. In nearly every Northern State in America, African Americans were represented by White American candidates. It was not until the 1950's did the US Congress have another Black Congressmen, in the State or Federal governments. Even thou African Americans could obtain US Passports. Nearly every colonized portion in Africa, would not issue visas to African Americans, in 1900's, 1920's to the 1960's. African Americans were told that they had no known relatives in those areas, no business dealings, or they did not have enough money to visit Africa, as a tourist, and must have a round trip ticket, plus 1,200.00 British pounds. During that time period. Where one British pound was worth $5.23 USD. Which meant that a African American was required to have $6,276 USD. The average income for most African Americans in the 1920's was $2,100.00 a year. If they had 20 years at Ford Motor Co.. In the American South, most African Americans cleared less than $600.00 USD a year. The "Jim Crow" laws in America..., meant that African Americans were doomed to live in poverty. And they did. 89% or more of African American businesses, were indirectly owned by criminal groups, for the purpose to "laundry" money. So there were no banking or financial support for nearly all Black owned businesses in America. Estate loans for African Americans were nearly never granted. From 1920's to 1970's..., 92% of all African American music and hits, were owned and copy righted by White American entertainment companies. Most African Americans only received 2% royalties for their art.

Abandon the term Black American (BA). Just refer to the group as Africans. Then , we can all meet half way through using an UBUNTU interface. When a Continental African uses the term 'Black' in not referring to himself/herself, but to other of the same race who live outside of the physical Africa, that is a problem and a mindset issue needing a shift in paradigm. The source of what I am talking about leads to division, misunderstanding and negative stereotyping.

The N word is culturally specific to those black societies in the Americas which have expiericed translatic slavery.An African from the continent who uses the N word would not necessarily see it it as derogatory.
