Afro-Mexicans. The first free African settlement in the Americas was in what is now Yanga, Veracruz, Mexico and Mexico also had a african descended President with Vicente Guerrero way before the US did.

As a Jamaican, I find all of them interesting in their own way but The Brazilian Diaspora and Guianese Maroons are interesting to know more of. We have maroons too in Jamaica as well.
My Family is from Barbados 🇧🇧. I did a DNA test and I am 91 percent african. Almost 70 percent of that DNA came from what is now known as Nigeria. It is said that a lot of ebo tribes people where brought to Barbados.
thatl Chiponda so now I made up my dna results? Barbados is very isolated . My results are from My Heritage DNA. Very accurate. 69 % or 68.6 to be exact.
EXACTLY!!! That Would Be LIT!!! I Would Like To Learn More About Black Amerindians,I Been Knowing About The Seminoles,I'd Like To Learn About The Other Groups,Too!!!
There are so many numerous African/Native American groups throughout the Americas. He mentioned the Miskito off of Nicaragua and Honduras. Some of the African Native American groups that attempted to hold on to their traditions from colonial times never really had the autonomy that the Garifuna had but there’s history there. Like he said someone that is identified as black could also by the standards of ancestry be considered Native American or European. I’m mixed with all 3, Honduran and the Garifuna are a great people.
I'm from the island of Antigua (Antigua & Barbuda). I Identify as black for sure. However, there definitely was some hanky-panky going on with Europeans in my family about 100 years ago. This is evident within the different shades and eye colours in my family. My mother had very light skin andhazel eyes. Her mother the same etc. It is alleged that my maternal grandmothers grandmother was Portuguese meanwhile her fathers mother was English. Since there was no documentation, we have only the story. But it is evident by the way they look, there is some truth to the story. I however am chocolate brown with dark eyes and beautiful kinky hair. This is because my father looks like he came straight out of Africa, and by the looks of my paternal grandmother and grandfather, that might be a fact.
While in university, I had a class about colonial Brazil where I learned that, by the end of the 18th century, the city of Cuiabá had nearly all of its colonial asministration carried out by free blacks. The town had beem founded during a cold rush that quickly ended, so most of the white Portuguese descent population just went back to Goiás and Minas Gerais.
@@utopiaOKC In Brazil this is kind of the case. Racism always existed but were mostly restrict to rich white families. Recently left-wing groups have started to import race-fighting ideals from other countries(mainly the US) and have created a certain racial chaos whitin black people from poor communities. Is a kind of unfounded revanchism as if only blacks were poor and all whites were rich. They even distort data to support their claims, considering browns as black, which raises the percentage of blacks to almost 55%.

People from New England colonized Upstate New York, and in turn, people from Upstate New York colonized Michigan (hence, names like Troy, Utica, Rochester, and Genesee in Michigan as well as Upstate New York).
The fact that only 8% of the Brazilian population identifies itself as black, it's because racism is still a big issue in Brazil. The vast majority of the people that identify as pardo or wrongly "moreno", are actually black, but being associated to black or African descent is not a good thing in Brazilian society, so when someone says that the majority of the Brazilian population is black, they're not wrong, it's that pardo is a way to say "black person with a skin not that dark". But it depends of the region of course.
Pardos are not blacks. This exact video shows that they have more european admixture than african, on average. Indeed some darker pardos tend to not identify as black, but it doesn't change this fact.
@@alovioanidio9770 it's not because a person has a lot of European genes in its DNA that it justifies being white. A person can be black with a lot, I mean A LOT of European genes in its DNA. Imagine a white guy having a child with a black woman, let's suppose that the entire family of this guys is white only and the woman's family is majority black with a white grandfather for example, if the child is born pardo with a pretty white skin but still has some African admixture, it's still a black person, even with the amount of European DNA. The point is, Brazil is a racist country and that's a fact, being associated with black skin is a bad thing in the views of a lot of people in Brazilian society and culture still to this days!
@@hiphipjorge5755 "why can no one understand that few Brazilians are any "one" race at all?" Short answer, because this conception is wrong. The idea of Brazil been so mixed that you can't tell the social race apart is just inaccurate. It won't take you more than 20 minutes to go and search about Colorismo and the Movimento Negro Brasileiro, read and take the conclusions by yourself.
@@adrianozanata4743 You should search about how complex are the Pardos. You can't simply say most of them are black people who deny their own identity. Brazil has also Native background. Pardos are just mixed race people who don't consider themselves white nor black. A complexidade do pardo e o não-lugar do indígena é um texto interessante e que fala sobre isso.
Mason Cuba's history would be interesting. I live in Miami and Cuban immigrants are extremely racist and "white" Cubans typically reject that they have any African ancestry....& many refuse or disdain taking DNA tests because I believe they are afraid of the results. Could you make a video about this? Cuban exiles here in Miami also tend to disdain & make fun of Puerto Ricans & Dominicans because of this too.
@Bela T.T That depends on what kind of country you are from, I would say Colombia and Venezuela are extremely well integrated and perhaps the most racially and ethnically diverse Spanish speaking countries. You can go to these countries and see a lot of prominent non white people appear on tv, commercials, in politics or in jobs of importance. As a white, light haired and green eyed Colombian, I can confirm about how proud of our racial and ethnic diversity Colombians are. I can't say the same for the rest of the region, in Peru, Bolivia, Chile and Mexico, for example, their population can be said to have an "inferiority complex', just watch a tv show from any of these countries, look at their politicians, people of importance, commercials and you'll see that even though the vast majority of the population of these countries is not white, the whites have the great advantage in representation. I would only think that in the rest of the region is like this with fluctuating degrees.
@Bela T.T Exactly!!! Argentina's World Famous Dance,The Tango,Was Orgininated By Afro-Argentines,From The ORGINAL Black Population There From Colonial Times. Through Efforts Of Deliberate Genocide,Such As Sending Black Men To The Frontlines In The Paraguayan War,They Were Systematically Wiped Out. The Black Women,Many Of Whom Had To Turn To Prostitution,Had Relationsships With White Men,And Their Children Assimilated Into White Argentinian Society. Quite A Few "White" Argentinians Have Distant African Ancestry!!! The Government Wanted To Model Argentina After The United States And Europe,And Looked Down On Anything Black Or African. During The Period Of Immigration To North And South America,Great Effort Was Made To "Whiten" Argentina's Population,With The Most Immigrants Coming From Spain,The Second Largest Group From Italy.
Some Blacks Have Immigrated Recently To Argentina From Dominican Republic,Cuba,Puerto Rico And From Non-Spanish Speaking Countries. There's A Book That Was Written By A White Woman From America Living In Argentina About Their Government's Attempt To WHITEWASH It's History,I've Got To Get It!!! I'm Not Surprised The Tango Was Started By Africans,All The Best Parts Of So-Called Latino Culture,Music,Dancing,Food Etc. Was Started By Africans In Latin America!!! ✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿❤🖤💚
They can deny but their food and music can't !!!Most countries where there is african diaspora the food is the same.Fried plantain rice with beans etc is typical west african.
I am from the island Saint Lucia. 🇱🇨 We have a mix of African, English and French culture & heritage. We speak English and French creole. Almost every single place was named by the French.We are independent and The British monarch is our head of state. Its nice to live in saint lucia because besides being a tropical paradise ....

Africa was a power house before all the white people got kicked out. Rhodesia was called the "breadbasket of Africa" because it produced enough food to feed the entire continent and have surplus. Then the whites were kicked out and now everyone is starving.
@Masaman Suriname is a rather small and insignificant country but ethno-culturally very interesting. It has a population of just over half a million people and a significant diaspora in The Netherlands (former coloniser) of just under half a million people. The Marrons you've mentioned make up about 15% of the population, and almost 20% are Creoles. By categorising these two types of 'blacks' as two different groups, the largest ethnic group are the 'Hindustans' from India, making up more then 25% of the population. Almost 15% of the population is from Indonesia and more specifically from Java. Less then 15% of the population identifies as 'Mixed', and of the other 10% the Chinese, original local inhabitants and Dutch make up the largest percentages. So in this mainland South American country, you will find nice authentic Indonesian food places filled with 4th or 5th generation Surinamese people of African, Indian, European and Chinese ethnicities. Intermixing was discouraged in the colonial era (until 1975), but also not very common due to the large and obvious cultural and religious differences between these different groups. Now an independent but small nation, the groups intermingle and cooperate slightly more. Also, there is a minor but noticeable bit of 'local' immigration from Brazil since about 20 years. That being said, if you wake up with a hangover and forgot where you are, a quick look out of the window will most likely hint toward India, Ghana, Holland or Southern China. Especially in rural areas. I would love to see you break Suriname down in your truly awesome format.
I am very interested in the Caribbean particularly the smaller island states from the Virgin Islands to Trinidad and Tobago. I would like to see a video about these groups specifically especially in regards to which parts of West Africa they mostly originate from.
@VI's Very Own Interesting, I am half Grenadian, my Mum will be getting a DNA test shortly so it would be interesting to see which part of West Africa our ancestors came from. I remember reading a Grenadian article that suggested that the majority of people on Grenada's sister island Carricou are descended from a group of people from Sierra Leone. I would not be surprised if this is the case with myself.
Applying the US one drop rule to the rest of the Americas simply wouldnt work. In many cases mixed groups came to see themselves as their own ethnicity.
@David that's such an ignorant statement I can only assume you are not a US citizen. Because surely a US citizen would know their own laws and history.
That's great to see that you were freed. What made you choose to go to Europe and then decide to make your home in a majority white society like Canada? What happened to your family from your original homeland?
I'd really enjoy an in depth video on Haiti. It's incredibly historically rich and it'd be nice to focus on the revolution and early post revolution Haiti.
As a Haitian who everyday finds out new stuff about my roots, we are also starting to find out about Ancient Haiti before Columbus, its a deep interesting topic.
@@jwettyjackson6184 There are books with extensive researchfor exampl "They came before Columbus, the African presence in ancient America" Dr. Ivan Van Sertima, and one of the most detailed being "The Haytian Annals", contained in "The American Nations, or Outlines of their general histor, ancient or modern" by Constantine S. Rafinesque. Those are two very good sources to start. One good book writtem by a Haitian that I am still looking for is "L'Ayiti des indiens" (Haiti of the indigenous jn english) written by Odette Roy Fombrun.
@@jwettyjackson6184 Thats the history we are taught in school, that no doubt is there, but we are almost never taught about the indigenous blacks of the americas.
You provide the best information on migrations, ethnicities and maps i have seen and I always learn things i asked myself before and never had the response for on those subjects. This is an excellent channel well worth its popularity.
All over lol🇯🇲 but mainly from Ghana and Nigeria is where much of our ancestors came from. I am a Kromanti descendant of partly Jamaican Maroon ethnic heritage born and raised in the United States of America 🇺🇸
One thing I find interesting is that most slaves in Jamaica were taken from the Akon, Igbo, Fon and Yoruba tribes as I’m part Jamaican and someone I know from Ghana literally said I look like I could be for the region so even all these years later we still share the features of our ancestors
hainley simpson I’ve even been hinted at for potentially having Chinese ancestry based on my eyes sometimes so that makes sense based off of indentured labor from that region
Haiti, the blackest country in the Western Hemisphere with 95% of it's people being of subsaharan African descent, only gets a minute on this video? Really? Lol it's starting to seriously feel like he just doesn't like the country

Brazilian national census says black brazilians are 8% of the population self identified. That's too low to be accurate. I can say it's between 15% to 20%.
Loved this video! I am a Brazilian with exactly the admixtures u mentioned. Mostly European (Italian/Portuguese) and partly Native and African (Senegambian). There are also some bits of Balkan and Moor. Senegal is in my 7th generation.
Mr ricandelphia They will or the black men will. This black identification doesn’t apply to men. The exception is sexual in motivation. Besides it’s not really authentic if both genders would be labeled as such because we are mixed with other races as are African Americans. The classifications shouldn’t be so black and white.
Brazil is a mixed and racist nation. We usually say "pardo" for mixed black/white black/native and native/white. More than 50% of Brazilian pop have african descent for shure
Brazil as a black nation is pure stereotype. What happens is that cultural and touristic hotspots in Brazil are places with higher black concentration, like Salvador and Rio de Janeiro.
Yeah, this is because foreigners only think about Rio when it comes to Brazil even thought it is not our capital, biggest city and (arguably) not even our main cultural center anymore.
@@Aniwazoa not really most Brazilians I see in media and videos games are often black like xever montes(TMNT),Lucio (Overwatch),Eddie Gordo(Tekken),Capitão(R6),Sean matsuda(street fighter),and many more. Not saying it's a bad or good thing I'm just approaching it from my perspective(even though I'm Afro American not Afro Brazilian)
Does it really matter? Brazil used to be majority black nation, till the massive European migration was encouraged in the 19th centuries. Just like it was a majority native/ameridian before the conquest and slavery
That's correct for the begonning of the colonial period in Brazil, but by the end 17th century when the cities along the coast were getting more and more developed, many portuguese immigrants went to Brazil already bringing their families to settle, in a rather small scale indeed. However in the 18th century when gold were found in Minas Gerais, a shit ton of portuguese, and spanish as well, went to Brazil in a much larger scale with the promise of getting rich, and this immigration brought much more families. But this is colonial Brazil. The other periods are even more interesting.
@Afrodisiac not everybody are necessarily mixed with something else. There those who have heritage of immigrants who are still just italians, or germans or whatever and nothing else. Brazilians are not a mix of everything, there are just people from many different countries in Brazil, mainly Europe of course.
This channel is truly a great find! In high school I used to browse through an atlas series of the world from the 1960s. In it were all the different peoples with their classic and (1960s) modern cultures. Viewing this channel gives me a similar exploring experience. Among countries which have an African diaspora, Suriname has retained a lot, if not the most, of its (west) African culture. In more recent decades however, modernity rapidly replaces traditional styles of living. We nevertheless still have glimpses of this recent past through Faya lobi. Faya lobi is a Dutch film featuring all the different peoples in Suriname in the year 1960. Highly recommended! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mgV3yPANxMU.html
Great content. Gratitude for thoroughly researching unbiased information of this world's history. I would love to learn more about the history of Panaman, including but not limited to the migration of African and other ethnicities to Panama to build the Panama Canal. Thank you from a loyal fan
@àsper You know quite a few high income neighborhoods are diverse right? Even if these "white libtards" lived in mostly white areas, it wouldn't matter. It wouldn't make you racist dipshits correct Also have you met a brazilian before, or even been to brazil?
@àsper Well I know and have met many blacks, none of them brazilian though. I did meet a black Mexican, and my dad is jamaican. All of them are and were quite intelligent people. And my point still stands. A lot of high income areas are quite diverse.
@àsper àsper Correlation doesn't equal causation dumbass, development of an area or country has nothing to with the race of the people living there. The only reason a lot mostly black countries are poor is because Europeans sapped them of all their resources during colonialism and they're trying to get back on their feet. Mostly white countries are more developed because because they didn't have to deal with that shit because they were the ones doing it. Also, there are plenty of nice black people, you're just a racist bigot who if you were still living in the US would be shoving your face up Trump's ass.
@àsper well if the FBI didnt intentionally inject drugs into those communities and the democrats didnt destroy them with planned parenthood and encouraging divorce maybe those communities would be better off
9:59 a lot of Brazilians practice afro based religions such as Candomblé, Umbanda and Quimbanda. There's also Voodoo and Santería up in the Caribbean if I'm not mistaken. These are mostly Yoruba in origin, at least here in Brazil, but there are also Central African influences.
@Georgios Alencar Chardavellas it's still a lot, even more so because of sincretism. It depends on how much is a lot to you. We exist so much to the point that I'm talking to you right now, so there's that
I think Europe should be included in the African Diaspora discussion. Its discouraging to see people in Latin America with obvious African ancestry identify as white instead of mixed at least kinda the reverse of what happens in America where even Americans with the slight African ancestry and "black" features identify as black regardless of skin tone.
Because skin tone doesn't matter. I got two sisters much lighter than I am and they are majority black. I have grand parents that are darker than me and lighter than me that have at least one parent that is lighter lighter than me. It's just random traits.
There are the Caribs in Belize 🇧🇿 from St. Vincent and the grenadines. You have to learn a lot more for us to tell the black history, you can't tell our history or story. Thank you, ask us

it is not the first, the first free town in the Americas is Yanga, Veracruz, Mexico. Previously it was thought to be San Basilio de Palenque, Colombia until more recent research about the Afro community of Mexico and their history. San Basilio became free in 1691 while Yanga became a free town in 1618.
Mexico has African blood 🩸 from the USA, Central America, Africa . And the Carribean since the 1500’s now mixed into the mestizo general population but for a country that is so big it has African decent people in every corner
Do you have any source respecting Haiti's former ambition to unite all African-descended peoples in the Americas? It sounds absolutely fascinating, but I can't seem to find any literature about it.
I have a interesting video idea. Black Americans and Southern Italians: and how similar they are I got this idea from a article called “John Gennari (Author of the book “Flavor and Soul: Italian America at Its African American Edge”)” on a website called We the Italians. It talks about how Italians and blacks are similar in there mannerisms and behavior and how they influenced each other over the years in American history. I find this topic interesting because your taking two very different groups that are not related to each other yet how similar they are, especially when it comes to passion, both groups are passionate peoples. I’m Italian American and I noticed this over the years, my black friends don’t even consider me white, they say I’m only Italian. I’m even attracted to black women cause of there sweetness and passion which I can relate too. We Italians in America (some) consider ourselves white and ethnic if that makes sense. I would like to see your interesting take on this Masaman.
I am also Italian American, and I would love to see a video on this. I’ve seen some of the traditions that we follow only followed by Italians and African Americans, such as the Novena and St. Peter’s Fiesta. My grandfather who is Italian was best friends with many black people and loved how similar they were. We live in a town with many people from Afro-Caribbean diaspora and we had conversations with them in a mixed Italian/Spanish creole
@@wuyl660 USa actually has the lowest percentage outside of Africa its always Brasil the Caribbean and most other South American countries, America has literally only 12-15% and Canada has about 2% and that includes the immigrants and the ones that escaped during the underground railroad (slavery days) which they are actually descent from southern black American slaves that all live in Nova Scotia which is the tip top right hand corner of the Canadian map
African diaspora is also in the pacific region like Papua New Guinea, Fiji, Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, Aeta of the Philippines,.Also Saudi Arabia, Australia and many more nations of Asia and the pacific. Having lived in the Marshall Islands for over 13 years. I was able to learn these facts. Everyone is familiar with what was in your great video but, are unfamiliar in the pacific region. From American Air Force Security Police military veteran. Which I lived in Japan, South Korea, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Marshall Islands, Wake Island and the Philippines.
@@kwameopoku3576 Well as a American Black my ancestors mainly come from Africa. Now having lived in the pacific region of Marshall Islands and personally talked to many Fijians. They have told me that their ancestors originated from east coast of Africa like Mozambique area. Now, I would get mistaken for being a Fijian in the Marshal Islands for the 13 plus years I lived there. If Papua New Guinea, Fiji Solomon Islands, Vanuatu and Tuvalu did not come from African diaspora. Why would a Fijians mistake me for being a Fijian. If my ancestors are African diaspora then I know and believe the pacific Island nations I mention ancestors are African diaspora too including original Australians. If you did a DNA test on them. you will find the truth. My DNA test from ancestry.com came out 90 percent African, 9 percent European and 1 percent American Indian.
David Darden they originated from Africa true but so did white people ... what that person should have said is their history is different from yours they those people in the pacific island had a different migration he explained it in a past video

Interesting video guy, good job. I'm belizean and i like how here there be african mixed with most cultures like mayan and german speaking menonites along with other mixes. Its nice to see videos like this to learn from and document the history of the world in this age we live in currently.
Jamaica is very under represented in this video. Its just briefly mentioned. With Haiti, they are probably the most majority black outside Africa and with a very fascinating unique culture.
Subsaharan Africa already represents a massive slice of humanity which is rapidly growing. I don't usually like to be dramatic but I think it's a shame how we know and talk so little about the region and the people from there. We still seem to think of it as some backwater that's just some giant nature reserve with a few humans here and there
Yea estimates put sub Saharan Africa at 1.094 or 1.1 Billion and could be more🤷 plus 50 Million+ in America I think we are larger we are a large numerous people we can't be stopped the diaspora is like 150 to 200 Million so worldwide we are like 1.3 Billion but believe to be 2Billion and whites are like 1 Billion or less 800Million
Do a whole series of videos on the ethnic groups comprising various American cities/metro areas (not just African Americans but including them). For example, do one video on New York City, northern New Jersey, etc.; do another on Boston; another on Philadelphia; and others on Chicago, Detroit, St. Louis, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Baltimore, the DC area, Cincinnati, Columbus, Buffalo, Rochester, Kansas City, Minneapolis/St. Paul, Atlanta, South Florida, Dallas/Fort Worth, Houston, Denver, Phoenix, San Diego, LA, the SF Bay Area, Portland, Seattle, etc. The same thing for Canadian cities like Montreal, Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Hamilton, Halifax, etc.
I Believe He's Already Done A Video About North Africa. And Contrary To Popular Belief,The ORIGINAL North Africans Were BLACK,Fully AFRICAN,The Majority Of The Population Today Is Throughly Mixed Because Of The Eurasian Invaders Who Migrated There,Starting Before Greek And Roman Times,They Displaced The Original Black Africans,Many Of Whom Moved To West Africa,Those Who Remained Became Mixed,Some Of The Populations Have Predominately European Genetics,Others Are Mixed To Certain Degrees European,Subsaharan African And Middle Eastern. Some Are Straight Out AFRICAN-Black, Some Look African/European Mixed. The Invaders Took On The Culture Of The Black Africans As There Own After They Displaced Them, #CultureVultures!!! 🧐🤨😠😡🤬
@@foytibenabdelwahab8199 He's wrong about the mixing, but when the Sahara was green, the inhabitants of North Africa were black as indicated by the ancient rock art of Tassili n'Ajjer in Algeria and the ancient black mummy of Uan Muhaggiag in Libya. There were two major waves of migrants from the Middle East. The first was the Neolitic migration that brought along proto-Amazighs which in combination with the Sahara displaced the Black Africans living in North Africa. The second wave was the the Arab invasion that partially Arabized Amazigh people and relegated them to mountainous or isolated terrains.
From what I've read Brazil is considered the blackest nation outside of Africa because of the phenotype of our population, more than 50 % of us are black, although it depends on how you count what is considered black here in Brazil. The government made up a name for a specific group of black people with more mixed genes and lighter skin called Pardo, the black movement here in Brazil denounces the use of that term and considers all pardos to be black because of our racist history that could be the origin of the term. I'm Brazilian just in case.
Pardos are not black. It is just an attempt of the black movement to increase the number of blacks. In Brazil, there are many color tones, many degrees of admixture that fit much more correctly in the pardo classification, not black or white, although the line is indeed very fluid.
It's shocking how many black enthusiasts are supporting "one drop rule": if you have any african ancestry, you're black. The same logic of the american racism in the past.
@@alovioanidio9770 some African Americans are only 30-50 black but identify as black. Just like the Creoles in the south who are mixed but identify as black. No one in africa called themselves black. Black was a term made for people of African ancestry.
I do find it interesting that Black Americans are by far the most influential and visible black people in the world. Some of the most famous black people known worldwide are black Americans such as Oprah, Jordan, Venus Williams, Obama, Lebron, Jay Z, Beyonce, Will Smith, Denzel Washington, etc. It is apparent the developed infrastructure and culture of the U.S. enables this. There are more black people in Brazil yet most people can't name one famous black Brazilian. When people outside of the U.S. such as Japanese or South Koreans formulate their stereotypes of black people it is usually from black Americans.

Despite all the racists comments this was a really good video. Very informative. I love the fact that the African population is booming at such a fast rate.
@rks Booming means booming, whether in check, or out of it. Throughout human history it's happened before. Look up worldwide population estimates throughout the centuries. In East Asia and South Asia in the 20th century, as well as Europe and the America's in the 19th century before that. These trend are a constant that always shifts. Say what you will about the African diaspora in continents not of their own, but this has also always been the case. The same was said about Chinese immigrants before its country became respected for its modern socio-economic power and education. Likewise for many other races, religions, and ethnicities. It simply seems that Black Africans are the next runners up. Despite the centuries old underestimation of them throughout the Western and Islamic world, they are finding their place in the world. Of course there will be naysayers, and condemnors that have a knee jerk reaction to judge them harshly in light of the particular fixation the world seems to have when it comes to Black Africans. Again, booming is booming. Your fearful personal experiences in Europe, and need to redefine the meaning of the word "booming" in defences of impending African demographic domination is quite telling.
@rks do you think all black people goes to Europe because they wanna be immigrant or for a better life Why don't you also say the same thing about the white in Africa
@d puski You are speaking of leeching? Where did Europe get its wealth from? It had colonies which were lands that belonged to other people. America had an indigenous population before being run by anglo saxons. Europeans went to other continents and exploited their people and/or resources for hundreds of years. You are calling others leeches?
@d puski No, that isn't my definition of being successful. Stop trying to re-interpret the meaning of my words to fit your narrative pushing. Again, booming is booming. Whether you condone or condemn it is irrelevant. It has happened before in history, and it will happen again.
Most afro-brazilians are actually extremely mixed. 36% of Brazilians are white (here if you're of North African or middle Eastern descent, you're seen as white); 11% are black. The rest is extremely mixed, but seen by society as being black.
@@abdulazizbature2615 Some of them look black physically like especially people from Papua New Guinea, Vanuatu and Fiji can pass as Africans. Genetically they are very different though
@Dashing TIM People in America go more on looks. That's why they say if you look black you are black. That is why they call biracials black and say if a racist cop sees these people, then they will consider them black. In America people go on phenotype instead of genotype. I follow science though I follow both
In modern geography the name Ethiopia is confined to the country known as Abyssinia, an extensive territory in East Africa. In ancient times Ethiopia extended over vast domains in both Africa and Asia-(Still though this is through the lens of europeans and westerners studies but if you ask an ethiopian or any african will tell you that ethiopia have is name because of Ityop'ia as cush,son of ham and grandson of noah)-. “It seems certain,” declares Sir E. A. Wallis Budge, “that classical historians and geographers called the whole region from India to Egypt, both countries inclusive, by the name of Ethiopia, and in consequence they regarded all the dark-skinned and black peoples who inhabited it as Ethiopians. Mention is made of Eastern and Western Ethiopians and it is probable that the Easterners were Asiatics and the Westerners Africans.” (History of Ethiopia, Vol. I., Preface, by Sir E. A. Wallis Budge.) In addition Budge notes that, “Homer and Herodotus call all the peoples of the Sudan, Egypt, Arabia, Palestine and Western Asia and India Ethiopians.” (Ibid., p. 2.) Herodotus wrote in his celebrated History that both the Western Ethiopians, who lived in Africa, and the Eastern Ethiopians who dwelled in India, were black in complexion, but that the Africans had curly hair, while the Indians were straight-haired. (The aboriginal black inhabitants of India are generally referred to as the Dravidians, of whom more will be said as we proceed.) Another classical historian who wrote about the Ethiopians was Strabo, from whom we quote the following: “I assert that the ancient Greeks, in the same way as they classed all the northern nations with which they were familiar as Scythians, etc., so, I affirm, they designated as Ethiopia the whole of the southern countries toward the ocean.” Strabo adds that “if the moderns have confined the appellation Ethiopians to those only who dwell near Egypt, this must not be allowed to interfere with the meaning of the ancients.” Ephorus says that: “The Ethiopians were considered as occupying all the south coasts of both Asia and Africa,” and adds that “this is an ancient opinion of the of the Greeks.” Then we have the view of Stephanus of Byzantium, that: “Ethiopia was the first established country on earth; and the Ethiopians were the first who introduced the worship of the gods, and who established laws.” The vestiges of this early civilization have been found in Nubia, the Egyptian Sudan, West Africa, Egypt, Mashonaland, India, Persia, Mesopotamia, Arabia, South America, Central America, Mexico, and the United States. Any student who doubts this will find ample evidence in such works as The Voice of Africa, by Dr. Leo Froebenius; Prehistoric Nations, and Ancient America, by John D. Baldwin; Rivers of Life, by Major-General J. G. R. Forlong; A Book of the Beginnings by Gerald Massey; Children of the Sun and The Growth of Civilization, by W. J. Perry; The Negro by Professor W.E.B. DuBois; The Anacalypsis, by Sir Godfrey Higgins; Isis Unveiled by Madam H. P. Blavatsky; The Diffusion of Culture, by Sir Grafton Elliot Smith; The Mediterranean Race, by Professor Sergi; The Ruins of Empires, by Count Volney; The Races of Europe, by Professor William Z. Ripley; and last but not least, the brilliant monographs of Mr. Maynard Shipley: New Light on Prehistoric Cultures and Americans of a Million Years Age. … In the study of ancient affairs, folklore and tradition throw an invaluable light on historical records. In Greek mythology we read of the great Ethiopian king, Cepheus, whose fame was so great that he and his family were immortalized in the stars. The wife of King Cepheus was Queen Cassiopeia, and his daughter, Princess Andromeda. The star groups of the celestial sphere, which are named after them are called the ROYAL FAMILY-(the constellations: CEPHEUS, CASSIOPEIA and ANDROMEDA.) It may seem strange that legendary rulers of ancient Ethiopia should still have their names graven on our star maps, but the voice of history gives us a clue. A book on astrology attributed to Lucian declares that: “The Ethiopians were the first who invented the science of stars, and gave names to the planets, not at random and without meaning, but descriptive of the qualities which they conceived them to possess; and it was from them that this art passed, still in an imperfect state, to the Egyptians.” The Ethiopian origin of astronomy is beautifully explained by Count Volney in a passage in his Ruins of Empires, which is one of the glories of modern literature, and his argument is not based on guesses. … We read of Memnon, King of Ethiopia, in Greek mythology, to be exact in Homer’s Iliad,where he leads an army of Elamites and Ethiopians to the assistance of King Priam in the Trojan War. His expedition is said to have started from the African Ethiopia and to have passed through Egypt on the way to Troy. … Another great nation of Ethiopian origin was Elam, a country which stretched from the Tigris River to the Zagros Mountains of Persia. Its capital was the famous city of Susa, which was founded about 4,000 B.C., and flourished from that date to its destruction by Moslem invaders about the year 650 C.E. … We cannot devote much space to the early inhabitants of India, though they were beyond all doubt an Ethiopic ethnic type. They are described by Professor Lynn Thorndike as “short black men with almost Negro noses.” (Short History of Civilization, p. 227, New York, 1936.) Dr. Will Durant pictures these early Hindus as “a dark-skinned, broad-nosed people whom, without knowing the origin or the word, we call Dravidians.” (Short History of Civilization, Part I, p. 396, New York, 1935.) … Most readers of history know about the Celts, ancient inhabitants of Europe, whose priests were known as the Druids. It is generally thought that these Celts were Caucasoids, but Sir Godfrey Higgins, after much study came to the conclusion that they were a Negroid people. Higgins wrote a ponderous volume entitled The Celtic Druids. In the following passage from his Anacalypsis he modestly refers to it as an essay: “In my essay on the Celtic Druids, I have shown that a great nation called Celtae, of whom the Druids were the priests, spread themselves almost over the whole earth, and are to be traced in their rude gigantic monuments from India to the extremity of Britain. The religion of Buddha of India is well known to have been very ancient.” (Higgins is here referring to the first Buddha, who is supposed to have lived between 5,000 and 6,000 years ago, and not to Gautama Buddha who lived about 600 years B.C. There were at least ten Buddhas mentioned in the sacred books of India.) “Who these can have been but the early individuals of the black nation of whom we have been treating I know not, and in this opinion I am not singular. The learned Maurice says Cuthies (Cushites), i.e. Celts, built the great temples in India and Britain, and excavated the caves of the former; and the learned mathematician, Reuben Burrow, has no hesitation in pronouncing Stonehenge to be a temple of the black curly-headed Buddha.” (Anacalypsis, Vol. I, Book I, Chap. IV, New York, 1927.)
It's wonderful to see how we are all mixed one way or the other. But in the end, it just doesn't matter to a real person of understanding. But hey thanks again!
I am from North-West India, portion next to Afghanistan (Pakistan). I love Brazilians and I found that my fair skin colour matches theirs. Except for the shade. They have a coppery reddish tint. They could not recognise me but I could recognise them. O' Well, one problem is at least getting solved, skin colour. Our ancestors did not have radio, television, Internet, iPoops so I can understand what they had for recreation but why is the population increasing currently?
He is correct about Belize. Outside of Belize City there aren't many people with significant subsaharan african admixture. The demographics have shifted significantly over the past 50 years
In America, people concerned about the population with some black blood not identifying as black (a point on the political agenda) and what about the population with white blood not identifying as white...?! More discussion and videos about the NATIVE population of America, the AMERINDIANS, the most harmed and discriminated people...
It's because of the 1 drop rule that people are so focused on having black ancestry if that was in reverse and we focus on white ancestry race would be pointless
Yes it can be proven and anyone who knows genetics and history knows African Americans are mostly descended from Igbo people with other tribes mixed in. We are mostly of Nigerian heritage.

Punta is a Garifuna Music genre as well as cultural dance. It is as poetic folk art genre through which social commentary is frequently expressed. The dance represents sexual dialogue between male and female who attempt to outdo each other with unique stylized movements. It is characterized by the shaking of the hips and features an almost motionless upper torso in contrast to the constant movement of the hips, legs, and feet, creating the characteristic shaking of the buttocks found in many African-derived dances.

@@Nutty151 What has been so since 1903? In case you are not aware Brazil received massive European immigration after slavery which greatly reduced the black percentage of the population.

If you look at the indigenous population of North Africa, North America, Central America, South America, Austrian, South Pacific, Philippines, Islands in Indian Ocean, Middle East, you will find that all these people were black.
cowboy cigarettes I used to think all Brazilian were black but when I moved to Florida most Brazilians I’ve seen were white or mostly white some you’d confuse for white Americans
Great video about a very sensitive topic. Those of Yoruba descent that still hold onto some elements of their culture interest me most. People of Yoruba descent are found primarily in Brazil (Bahia province) and Haiti, from what I've heard. I also know some real Yoruba that live in Lagos, Nigeria. The city of Lagos incidentally contains diaspora groups from all over the continent, as do South Africa and Gabon.
