Akon Doubles Down on Saying Africans Don't Think About Slavery, Black Americans Still Do (Part 25) 

That's true. Each Black person across the Atlantic has had their own experience. That would mean the highlight of the topic would be what has pressed us. Africans is colonialism and the Americas is slavery. When u really look at it..both of them are control at the root. I think its an important discussion to be had...not to dwell on it and also not to ignore it but...find solutions..and tht solution will be found in understanding with both sides and then unity..

@@rogerssombe7369 while colonialism was horrible Africans on the continent still have knowledge of self, their histories names and traditions are still in tact. American Blacks don’t even know our names or where we’re from on the continent.

Right, shoot try being albino in Africa

@@ibmor7674 victim Olympics?

That’s why they should be able to LEARN from one another. Too many times I’ve heard conversations where black Americans tell Africans “what can you tell us” They can teach us principles that are missing. In fact we can learn from many other cultures. Take a bit of anything that makes sense and that promises a better life

People moved on.

It didn’t happen period. Your family was here and free look at your records

Yea it did.

Many different groups of Africans were enslaved lol wdym

lmao what? bro slavery was going on WAY over there before america. it’s STILL going on over there.

Exactly. Of course they don't want to hear about slavery because many of them were selling them.💯

Or because that’s ancient history And there’s more important things to be worried about happening today

IM A85 Slavery made america into a rich nation. Sorry but the original sin doesn’t go away.

@Im8s, Cannibalism, child soldiers, child sex trafficking, female sexual assault, male sexual assault, kidnapping, abduction, rampant gang violence, resource deprivation, corrupt government ,internet scam farms, Morden day genocide, bush meat pandemics ,modern day slave auctions, ritualistic witchcraft murders, extreme poverty, AIDS, Ebola, janka addiction, qualude addiction, meth addiction, kaat addiction, and the lasting effects of colonisation and apartheid.🙄 You damn right Africa got other things to worry about rather than being in our business worrying about what we're doing.😌💯

I totally agree about the constant reminder, and one should understand that there's a Gap between afro Americans and Africans. Imagine we thought we were free after independence just to find out Dem rulling us on their behalf. They continent is been divided again between the few. In the 40s to 80s African Americans where very much involved in our struggles some even contributed our early drafts of constitutions. Then they got booted, and the filthy greedy Africans betrayed them for they bowed to their immediate European masters instead. Btw am African, and there's where I started thinking about how I'll stupid cowardly string dancers puppets uncouthed killers masters of our wicked destiny who are corrupt.

Akon is very much guilty of the very same things that he claims about American Negroes. Africans, in general, are envious of American Negroes, respectfully.

He also claimed to make millions of dollars by carjacking people in the middle of the street, which is not true

@@themodfather9382 That’s incorrect. He stated that he used to pop cars from valets. He would get in good with the valet Parker, bribe him more or less to find where the spare key was or some shit. Because due to the laws back then, if you got caught with a stolen car but had the spare key for it. It was only like a minor charge. Although he might had tried to Jack someone the first time trying to boost cars. I can’t remember the whole damn story nerd boy. Go look it up instead of being a negative bitch.

@@MrBrown-rm9zl That's crazy

Herc didn't invent it but he was a part of the culture when it was in its early days. New York has been a multicultural city for a long time. West Indian immigrants have been living with "native" black Americans in NYC for a long time. There were West Indians back in the Harlem Renaissance in the 1920s. So if something started among black people in NYC in the 1970s, it's no surprise that there would be a bunch of West Indians in the mix. Half these 80s and 90s NY rappers have West Indian backgrounds too, from Slick Rick to Doug E. Fresh, Cool J, BIG, some of the Boot Camp, Foxy Brown, KRS, Grandmaster Flash, Busta Rhymes, etc.

Cap....

Nah he bein a bitch for them higher ups. Africans judge us on the regular and they dont talk about slavery cause they would have to admit to there part in it. Make shit happen yeah, But cater to this trash hell df naw

@@jaxthewolf4572 good 😌 respect us 🥰

@Jax the Wolf menn Nigerians must ve done a number on you huh, lol. Did some Africans not only Nigerians aid in Slavery? Yes they must ve cause Slavery also existed amongst Africans. Most political figures in Nigeria today had ancestors who were slave owners. This is a dark truth that most Africans won't admit. However, after Slavery came another in the form of "colonialism," which further striped Africans of their language, identity, economic and it still goes on till date. Diamonds, gold, oil, cocoa, are richly found in Africa but the host countries can't boost of a 5 dollar minimum wage. I'm sure you got a job, got a car, health Insurance, can raise a family or already has one. For most Africans, this is not the case. I repeat, AFRICANS DON'T THINK ABOUT SLAVERY CAUSE it's dealing with alot.

You’re absolutely right. Colonialism is definitely something that is relatable.

You are spot on about colonialism very smart comment brother

Africans, or African Americans don't think about slavery or oppression, once they're given a good job or a bunch of money. The Bible says, surely oppression makes a wise man angry, but a gift destroys his heart. The gift is a job, position, or money from your oppressor.

Nah mate, for most countries that was over 60 years ago. At this point most of us aren't blaming non-development on colonialism. I'd say we now realize we need better leaders, stronger institutions and systems of government.

@@mosesgl27 nah man it’s not that easy. Colonization is a catalyst for allowing systemic racism in America (slavery) and systemic ethnic oppression in Africa. The main problem in African countries is the prejudice and favoritism Africans colonizers cursed them with that causes different ethnic groups to fight amongs themselves and suffer from corruption. These civil wars happen all the time in Africa, evident to what is happening in Ethiopia right now. It’s not as easy to “get over slaver” as it is to “get over colonialism” as you think cause it’s systemic.

Y'all got nothing to do with us, y'all do not suffer under systemic american racism so y'all can't tell us shit to do with our lives. Many of you are tethers anyway

ALL OF LATIN AMERICA suffered slavery at the hands of Spaniards. How the Spanish were so open with mixing and creating the mestizo, mulatto, castizo, and criollio populations across the continent didn't reflect how the British and French felt about the brown and black populations. I'm surprised people are surprised. The Europeans didn't land on these countries and treated the Natives nicely.

The difference is no other people in the WORLD were taken from their homeland and stripped of their culture and heritage, except Black Americans. Africans/South Americans were colonized. They may not talk about slavery but they damn sure talk about the effects of colonization...even though they still were able to keep their mother tongue, traditions, know what tribe they came from, etc...unlike Black Americans🤷🏿‍♂️

@@lawrenceervin5939 There isn't a difference. Slavery and bondage is terrible. Why are you trying to trivialize that because one aspect of it is culturally different. There were MANY tribes in Latin America that didn't stop at Maya, Inca, and Aztec. No one knows which one they belong to. There were 100s. Also, what good does it do to our community to think like this? The American Black community is the single most Infuential in art, music, media, sports. Shouldn't it mean much more to our heritage how we overcame all of that?

@@Mj-kb6ig I'm assuming you misunderstood my comment. I'm not the one trivializing anything. Akon is. I'm saying the west African slave trade was completely different than ANY other slave trade this world has ever seen. That's not even debatable. Any other enslaved ppls can return to their homeland...or never left. Black Americans have no country or tribe we belong to. Many times in Reconstruction and Jim Crow Black Americans did "create their own." And what happened, it was burned to the grown and they were murdered in masses/lynched. State sanctioned terrorism. My own parents didn't even integrate until they were in high school. That's literally one generation. Then there was Red Lining, cities building highways through developed black neighborhoods, refusing GI Home Loans to black GIs, crack epidemic, unfair sentencing of black Americans compared to whites (destroying black families for generations. Can't even vote with a felony), "slavery" is still legal in the prison system, and the government still intentionally disenfranchises black communities. Alllll these things are remnants of American slavery. What problem can be fixed without addressing the root cause? So ya, it needs to be talked about. My point is it's self righteous for black immigrants to act as if those things haven't/don't affect the economic power/ability of Black Americans. Especially if they are coming from countries where their own ppl run the government and they STILL have to immigrate to the US. The fact that black Americans are still here is a miracle in itself. We can celebrate our accomplishments WITHOUT being void of the fact that the effects of slavery still loom. That would be cognitive dissonance.
