Black Americans Challenge Black African 

They got the N word from rap music, we didn't, we got out from our grandparents, mothers, fathers, cousins, ect

Black American Culture is our culture, everybody cosplay us and wanna disrespect us while trying to be like us make it make sense.

Im chicano and i know my rights would not be held if it wasnt for the civil rights movement

I was born in Africa, I moved to the US 20+ years ago. Black Americans are not Africans, of course Black Americans descended in Africa but they’re definitely not Africans. The same goes with Jamaican, Haitian and other Black Caribbean. If we can call Black Americans African-Americans then why don’t we call the White Americans European-Americans?

"Black Culture" is for Black Americans. Africans & Caribbeans have their own cultures.

All 3 of them were waffling. Barely know the history of African American culture and African history and culture.

First 5 minutes in, as a Black American this is kinda hard to watch. This brother Adonis doing his best mental gymnastics to dissassociate himself and our ethnic group from Africa. We are Black Americans with African ancestry, this cannot be disputed and nor should we want to. Malcom X had a lot to say about these type of Black folk...

⚫🔱🔴🇺🇲✊🏿Foundational Black Americans Rise Up!!!

Like you said, they be cosplaying us Black Americans while down playing us Black Americans.

As a black American who has a lot of issues with how a lot of Africans view us one talking point I don’t like that some black Americans do is say we don’t come from Africa and allude that we are indigenous to America na I’m proud of my African heritage doesn’t matter if I don’t know exactly where I descend from there

I appreciate you representing BLACK AMERICANS

Saying the N word in my Black Southern Household in the 90’s was equivalent to a curse word and my father would’ve brought out the belt. Today at 30 I have never used the word. So saying that all Black people in the United States say that all the time is a stereotype.

All my black American family sing with me : THEY NOT LIKE US!!! THEY NOT LIKE US!!! Delineation is a must

This guy got them good. I’m tired of non black Americans saying we don’t know who we are. Our ancestors built America and been here for thousands of years. People like this sound ignorant💯💯💯

Disclaimer: I’m a South African, we love & respect Black Americans and their culture, we were inspired by it ourselves, and it helped us in a lot of ways. So believe me when I say I’m not trying to start a fight with the question I’m about to ask, I’m really just trying to learn. It is a fact that each native of a continent, country, island etc has two foudational cultural pillars, language and spiritual/religious practices. Eg: the Scottish speak Gaelic, the Aboriginal people of Australia have their own language and spiritual beliefs, we Africans have our own languages and spiritual beliefs, even the vikings(white people) had their own language and spiritual practices, where they would do sacrifices and all those things. The Asians have their own languages and spiritual beliefs. My question is, If there were original black people in the US excluding native Americans(red indians) because it is known they have their own language and spiritual beliefs, what is the original language of black Americans and what are your original spiritual/religious practices/beliefs. AAVE is a dialect of English, and English comes from white people, so I can’t really accept that as an answer, and Christianity as an answer is idk, because generally white people used Christianity as a method to praise and worship God, Muslim people use Islam as a method to praise and worship God. And everyone has their own method, and in their own language So please help me try to understand what you mean when you guys say you’re the original black people of the US. I’m really want to understand. Because history tells us otherwise, and your DNA also says otherwise. So I’m really confused

Black American culture is soul food, family reunions, Memorial Day, Black History week/ Month/ showing love to our Ancestors ,root work,civil rights, thousands of inventions and industries worldwide like electric lighting, hvac,and at home security systems etc etc😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

They NOT like US!!!

This young man historically confused. African Americans and Continental Africans are they same.

Keep in mind Adonis decides who he approaches for these interviews, and what he posts online. The fact that my comments debunking his talking points got deleted tells me he probably does the same thing with what he films.

Adonis why did you say Hispanics and hip-hop in the same sentence. Hip-hop was invented solely by Black Americans. In the beginning, Hispanics didn't even hang with Black Americans. They played their own type of music.

I would like them to ask a chinese man if he's African and see how think turns out lol.

They sold us , then wanna reap the benefits of what we became without them 😂😂😂 just like a father who never was there and his son makes it to the nba and now he wants to come back around 😂😂😂😂😂 how ironic

Your hair style is of African origin.

The level of shame, gaslighting and defensiveness with these two young men is overwhelming. Sad.

My man in the yellow Got a whole black American swag 😂😂.

Just say black Americans created hip hop

During colonialism, the British categorized people in to 3 groups in Africa. White, coloured, and black. This had nothing whatsoever to do with America.

FBA 🇺🇸✊🏾Foundational Black Americans we don’t have any allies they are not us

This conversation is ingenious as hell 🤦🏽‍♂️

This is a debate that is a long time coming, and I am here for it!

Did anybody peeped the ✌🏿”black culture”✌🏿shade??

Can someone please tell me when did Africans start calling themselves Black? I'm confused 😕

saying hip hop doesn't have any negative influence whatsoever is just a lie.

Black culture is EXCLUSIVELY Black American culture, no one else’s. YOU’RE NOT BLACK!!

I love your videos you do a great job in questioning and these questions needs to be asked. Thank you thank you thank you

I’m convinced that the only thing British people know is geography

Black culture is black American culture and every other black society benefited from the progress we make

1. Even though a black person isn’t born in Africa, it doesn’t mean they are not of the African Diaspora. 2. Many of the features within Hip Hop are rooted in African and slave developed traditions. 3. The US and Uk civil rights movements were going on simultaneously. However the us was in the forefront. We are stronger together than dividend. We are connected “in some kind of way” just like the variations white, Asian, South Asian etc etc….. They retain high amount of African blood therefore they are blacker than us…. lol… Just stop!!!

I loved this and the conversation was well needed.

cooked again Black American King 💪🏿💪🏿

Out of the 12 million that came from Africa less than 500,000 landed in America

The same black people found in America when the whites got there were from Afrika, Mali to be exact

more content like this please lol loving the respectful debates in this conversation

They gone have nightmares about these questions lol

Very interesting of a point he made regarding black Brits. The British did have slaves. What happened to Them? It was very telling how when he asked the didn’t answer and he replied yall stole their identity. Very interesting

That colonizer mentality of division = negative energy over 20 million africans died in congo alone, forced to dig resources for the Belgium king .It's not only blacks in America who went through it please understand that .Any black folks that endured this has every right to use the N word it's not only for black Americans. We been through genocide and worst in their hands we have every right to use it ! 😢

Africans liberated themselves before black americans. That's why individuals like Malcolm X toured Africa, to solicit support for his own liberation movement. In fact, the independence of Africa was a significant factor in pushing civil rights in America. USA couldn't sign bilateral agreements with African nations, while openly discriminating against them in their country.

While they dress like us While imitating europeans demeanor.

If they’re Ugandan, then WHY aren’t they wearing the traditional garb of Uganda 🇺🇬?

He keep referring to civil rights not knowing Afrikan started fighting for their rights, countries and land way before the Civil rights movement

This interviewer stresses me out. So much he needs to learn. I respect his viewpoints but they lack substance and depth. Love from a black South African.

FBA: We are all black. When police stop you, they don't ask your country!!! FBA: FBA are black. You're African or Caribbean, so you're not black. FBA: FBA are not black, we're Indian, Egyptian, Hebrew FBA: Hey can I interview you about an issue you DGAF about? FBA: Let's delineate, you're not like us!! Black Immigrants: you ok?

This is so interesting because these are the people who tell us that we are identity-less.

Memphis, TN all up the conversation in the UK 😂

Adonis I think you're a bit uneducated on uk black culture. Black people have been in the uk for the past 500 years too. The history of black people and slavery with the uk lasts a long time for example. The UK had slaves and had black British citizens in the uk, Jamaica ad Nigeria before Scotland was even part of the UK! Just like Americans but they were mistreated and deported back to africa in groups. Queen Elizabeth the first for example deported a group of black people out of England to Sierra Leone. Also some of hip hops founding fathers were Jamaican and hip hop was inspired by sound system culture the same way grime was inspired by Jamaican culture 30 years later in th UK. The banjo is based on an African instrument! Black Americans call sweet potatoes yams because they're similar to the yams that grow in Africa! Black Americans dont need to be considered African and thats okay but black Americans are not the only black culture. In terms of civil rights black people in the uk had their own civil rights and relied upon the testimony of black people from what is now Nigeria to abolish slavery. The civil rights era was inspired by Americans for sure for example we had boycotts and black panther parties in the sixties too but that is an example of how black Americans inspire black people in the rest of the world. America is the number 1 country and has dominated media for a long time, why is it a surprise that black people all over the world are inspired by black us culture when we all went through the same things? And to your point of black British people only having been in the uk for 3 generations, thats true for the majority but not all. Me for example my parents both have nigerian origin, i was born in the uk, on my dads side is a straight Nigerian heritage but on my mums side she was from a group of nigerians that have been here since the 1800s and kept their Nigerian culture, the racism became too much and muly mums family moved back to Nigeria in the 80s and then my parents moved back to the uk in the 90s. I still have family that didn't go back and stayed in the uk the whole time living in Newcastle. I dont want to discredit you but you need to be educated a bit more on uk black culture because the original black British people are still here. And as for the N word situation we went through a similar thing of reclaiming the word. I was called the n word growing up, so was my mum, so were nigerians during colonisation, i can only speak for myself and my people but to be honest bro our histories are more linked than separated in particular the history of the US , JAMAICA , NIGERIA AND BRAZIL. Me for example am from igala tribe in Nigeria, we were a kingdom decimated by the slave trade because of how close we lived to the niger river but our culture still lives in forms from the Gullah people in th US. You even have red rice! Honestly bro i would recommend educating yourself a lil bit more, not hating but i think you would understand that black British experience more and most people in the uk dont really know the history. Sorry for the rant lol but i hope u see this, been watching since you were on the sidemen 😅

The interviewer is not educated enough.

In South africa we experience Apartheid...so what do you mean we not Black? When here in South Africa we were separated with our own color of skin..Have you heard of Nelson Mandela?...

i swear this is the most miss informed and ignorant interview i have ever seen

You. Trying so hard to come for us Africans but we really don't give a f 😂😂🤦🏾‍♀️ your demeanor your so desperate to put us in check but we do not care sir move

He didnt even wanna admit hes from cameroon he was ashamed

I love that you know black people were already in the Americas long before the Europeans arrived.

Here they go with we know where we from BS. Ask them where they from they like huh? Like they don't want to answer it 😂

Young Brother, Whoever you are, please keep up this line of work. I love it!!!!!❤

Great interview!!

This was very informative and educational as all were providing their point of view. This conversation should be revisited.

The lying and gaslighting by these Africans was insane 😂

Adonis u got a new follower family!, keep cooking these folks B1

You’re on the rollll bro

This is a keeper! The point was specific and well reinforced! 🔥🔥🔥

Why is that man’s hand steady staying in his pants, like seriously let it go….

Most African Americans need to travel the world, it would broaden your scope about your race.

Excellent work young man!✊🏾

They go low we go to hell, I love being an American.

Good informative show keep educating people

This was shockingly needed, and this video will do its numbers over the next 12 months

Great job 👏🏽 on applying the pressure to the facts that they don’t actually respect us but love our culture that they say harms them so much

Glad I checked into your space today with CCFreedman. I've seen some of your videos, wishing I could see more but didn't know who you were. Youre a smart young brother bringing some great content. I will be looking out for your upcoming projects! BTW I'm a FBA NYC'er too. Subscribed!✊🏾

"They not like us they not like us they not like us" great work Adonis Apollo would be proud

🤦🏾‍♂️we are the same people…. just scattered through slavery. Why isn’t anyone saying this on the video or the comments? 🤔 🧐

Wow! Very powerful interview

For that guy's whole theory of hip hop contributing to violence that would mean violence didn't exist before the creation of hip hop

This guy does not speak for all Black Americans especially the ones who are very educated about their African ancestry and about Africa as a whole. He obviously need to educate himself more on this topic before challenging Africans or anybody on this subject. Africans were on this planet before all mankind therefore they are indigenous to the earth. All mankind descended from Africa, yes we know they don’t identify as African today but this is the point the young man was trying to make. The guy doing the interview needs to know no matter where he’s born his ancestry still comes from Africa. Five generations is not that far away from the Continent. African cousins can still be located Alive in Africa today. Yes he was born in America these other young men were born in Europe but they are still African there’s not much difference in third or fifth generation. Some of the questions were biased and further creates a divide between black Americans and Africans. We were taught negative things about eachother to keep us separated and uneducated about who we both really are. No black culture is better than the other both have their flaws and good characteristics. Blck Americans may have contributed to the civil rights movement but Africans contributed to the blue print for the rest of mankind. Educate yourself on African identity and major contributions to the world before you interview people on this subject. Let not continue to divide the cultures and focus on United us for the greater good.

Nice watch mane. 😎💯

Good conversation amongst young men. Peace.

W video man good conversation

Man stop denying that hip-hop is negative. What they created in the Bronx back then is not mainstream anymore and hardly anybody wants to hear that tyoe of music

Good job with the interview young bro

Honestly they all need to study more of the history of us as a whole . Both sides made great points, both sides are either too young, haven't studied enough, or just stuck in what they know and don't want to. Really from my upbringing of all sides ..no one is completely wrong but getting to know ourselves I feel will help us all better understand... And yes everyone suffered. Man if you go down that rabbit hole it doesn't stop in the Americas (broad) , Euro, Asia, Afri, etc . We learn new things everyday and there is nothing wrong with listening,learning, understanding , and growing from that. More importantly changing minds once we learn more of that info. Blessed to all❤

I would hate to be yellow jacket’s friend he’s constantly gas lighting omg

I LOVE this!!!! Talk about hitting the nail on the head!! This is a conversation that is LONG overdue!!!

A good video to divide black people all around the world as if all black people don't have enough already, Sadly the majority of people here don't see the harm this type of video does but instead, join to say "yea we are better" keep the good job gang.

Yellow started looking in his phone for answers at the 9 minute mark 😂😂

Our Skeletal SYSTEM IS LIKE NO OTHER...Copper Skin💪🏽🤎

Black is a race, there are different nationalities and cultures among the black race. Haitians, Jamaicans, Nigerians, etc...are part of the black race just like Italians, French, Irish, are part of the whyte race. Black Americans are not the only blacks.

Bro you big cooking 💪🏾💪🏾💯✊🏾 i’m gonna have to call you “chef” 🧑🏾‍🍳

Bro you can’t say a damn thing about them, because you wasn’t answering their questions honestly either. When dude asked you, “Does hip hop contribute to violence? At first you kept avoiding the question in hopes that he forget about it. Then when he asked you, “When Black American gangsters go out on a ride to kill someone, what music do they play?” YOU LIED, and said, “Rock music.” You know damn well that gangsters listen to gangster rap. It just hurt you for him to be right about hip hop music having some type of negative connotations attached to it. In the future, if you gone try to interview people and expect them to be truthful, just make sure you give them the same truthfulness in return and stop lying.

Africa has 54 countries with historic diversity...people should learn before they say things they know nothing of...

I respected this conversation to a degree. They seem like thoughtful guys and made a couple valid points. Much better than previous interviewees. I hate that people don't know that Black Americans have little impact on and participation in international exploitation. Also, if you're going to represent Black America you better know it's deeper than rap. 😂 That's a genre of music. As Black Americans have our own religious traditions, are own food traditions, history, dialects beyond slang words, and goals which also vary across economic lines. He mentioned the drums in hip-hop and you were supposed to create him. They weren't apart of a "cultural exchange" they came with us, but that would require you to recognize another place of origin. I think there's nothing wrong with identifying as being connected to Africa but people need to know OUR TRIBE is Black American and we're stationed on the other side of the planet. 12:56 also violence is encouraged by socio-economic conditions. Suburbans listeners of rap music aren't shooting each other and no one blames Nike for gang violence because shooters were wearing black Air Forces. Also Africa is not being built on blood, it's simply being drained.

More convos like this please

We BUILT the civil rights movement! Black Americans paved the way for many! We are proud of that.
