IDENTITY: Do you identify yourself as African or British 

That microphone quality hurts my ears..

I was born in the Uk and grew up in Jamaica 🇯🇲 but I see myself as African..

RUBBISH SOUND QUALITY

I identify as Kenyan, East African. Although I was born and raised in London, (so I’m environmentally British but I’m culturally Kenyan) my parents brought me up with an African mentality. Also, regular visits to Kenya have helped to shape my thinking and allowed me to embrace my heritage.

I am African...i will never trade my identity for anything else....dark as night and i love it. The darker the berry, the sweeter the juice

Born in the uk from Jamaican parents but I see my self now as African.

Most people did not know the meaning of identity and nationality

I’m a Nigerian African. I’ve lived in Britain all my life but yet have a Nigerian accent. I’m a citizen of the UK but nah, I’m still Nigerian.

Born and bred in the UK London. Anyone who asks me where I'm from ... I am Nigerian.. This black British. . is because we have passport that is what makes us British. Alot of people here don't know their culture. Thank God for my parents and my regular visits to nigeria. I am Nigerian from abekouta ogun state (I always claim my dad side. Mum is from Ile Ife ).

I'm so Proud of you guyz 😍 May god bless you And bless mama africa 😍 Much love from south sudan❤

That host is gorgeous

I'm 100℅ African and proud of it ❤❤❤

Born and raised in America but I identify as African. When I learn what country i share the most DNA with in Africa, then i will identify as that country.

*_Proud African ❤ From 🇸​🇴​🇲​🇦​🇱​🇮​🇦​🇸🇴_*

nice video,interesting topic and I liked the background music

Thanks to Afrobeat, bringing our people back to Africa

The real test is whether Africans would see you as African or British. In fact there is your first difficulty there, is there even such a thing as an African identity? There are 54 African countries and there are big differences between the cultures of various African countries. Even in sub-Saharan African, many would identify with tribal identity, not there national identity. I would call myself European but I am English, so how much would I really have in common with someone from Italy or Belgium? The other big problem, is if you'er a 2nd or 3rd generation and you still don't identify with the country you are born in. There is little hope for racial integration. You don't have a nation, you have a bunch of separate communities living parallel lives. The real test for migration is for separate identities to melt away, it is what has always happened in the past.

I’m black that make me a real African and I’m proud

Proud South African! 🇿🇦

im white but was fostered in a Jamaican family, i consider my self British but identify with Jamaican culture and British culture

There are allot of people who are born in the UK but there country of origin come before the country of birth despite never visiting there country of origin.

What is culture? It is the way we eat, dress, talk, our etiquette, a shared set of values, heritage, material traditions, and outlook on life that comes down to us through a shared history and understanding of our surroundings. I understand why they don’t identify as ‘British’, and this is exactly why we have different communities who fail to integrate.

I love the questions asked

African is not a nationality.

I'm an African and and I'm proud to be

I’m Black and I’m living in France, but I stay African

AFRICAN History is Not allowed to be taught to Colonize English speaking people in the Western hemisphere?

If for any reason any one of the people featured, let's say, travelled to the US and got entangled with the police and ended up in jail or shot (not killed), which government would you contact to intervene on your behalf?

Am proudly Africa from germany

I'm African. All my choices are African. Except I don't live in Africa and have probably never been there hahaha.

Thank you 🙏

Devastatingly beautiful interviewer.

As an Earthling, I identify with other Earthlings... Especially mammals, we all have so much in common.

Me too I born in France but l'm originally ivoiry Coast when some people ask me which side you prefer French or Ivoirian for me Ivoirian side

How do you categorize the Carribeans of African origin in UK? "You can't be British enough to be English" One is British- Nigerian or British-Japanese or British or American.

Lawwwwd the host though 😍😍

This dam question was simple and yet half of the comments mad it hard as hell. So reworded” do your identity with your culture or heritage you originally are from or the culture or heritage you grew up in? See simple🤦🏾‍♀️

British by Passport and African by birth. Nah! I'm African for sure no in between with that one even my accent will let you know 🤣🤣🤣

Woolyyy! We made ittt

Nice video with short time

Home is not where you were born it's where the heart is,I was born in the Caribbean but I see myself as an African

The host and the first girl that was Dutch are beautiful 😍

_"It's really important to know where you come from."_ Why?

That's one hell of a microphone.

I identify myself as British, because I was born and raised in the UK, my parents are from Jamaica and met each other in London. In Jamaica I am identified as a foreigner, I don't have the accent of a Jamaican and have never lived there, so that makes me British.

I’m Indian and I was born in England. I wouldn’t class myself as British but I would class myself as Asian

This is the best video i have this month,those guys just made my day

I need to know the song that's playing in the background

2:55 I love her answer! Thou you can hear her accent but she knows that she is African

That interviewer is beautiful

3:55 What is the guy saying please!😂 the force of confusion!

I wonder if the brits during the imperial era,who had children born in Asia or Africa,I wonder if their children considered themselves to be british or from those countries wich they where born?

They love Africa but don't want to live there. WTF!

Funny how those who probably came to Britain as adults(judging from accents - 3:40) were in so much of a hurry to cling to the British side when compared to those who were actually born and bred here. #Wanabees loool Superb video, superb presenting.. (y)

Good video 👍

Everyone looks and sounds lovely., save the horrendous audio quality.

You are gorgeous!!!! ❤

Proud Nigeria igbo 💖

It’s interesting to see the difference when someone who isn’t natively British asks, because when they ask it’s “youuu racist, I was born here”

a 2014 video I love it in 2022....now people are well informed and Africa is rising up,God bless mamaland

Be proud of your African heritage. So far as you are dark skinned, whether you like it or it, you are truly African. Even All humans evolved in Africa

Proud African from Nigeria

I am West Indian born in the U.K. to children to windrush generation from Island of Jamaica. I class myself Black Caribbean.

Someone who was born in ENGLAND put parents are africa would you say they are English or would you say they are british

Without your identity your lost

Amazing that so many people flock to our country to live amongst the most tolerant indigenous people who have such a successful country and economy. We should be proud that they choose to leave their country for something better that such a successful country can offer them and give them a better life.

Am also proud to be an African

Shamefully, there's something wrong with the sound

African as long as you are black!! But British because of where you might have been brought up...

You guys need a white guy to sort out your mic levels.

Where was this filmed?

Beautiful Girls! Where do most Africans in the UK come from?

I don't get the hateful comments. I identify more with my Nigerian side as I was born and lived most of my life in Nigeria. For me to say I identify more with my British side is a big fat lie, even though my dad is English! As for those that were born and grew up in the UK but find themselves identifying more with their African side, it's not abnormal or disrespectful to the country their parents moved to and raised them in, as some have suggested. If they had white adoptive parents I'm pretty sure they would grow up to identify more with the culture and lifestyle of their white adoptive parents. You can't knock someone's life experiences and choices when you have no idea how they may have lived, or even want to understand how they may have lived. Imagine coming from a typical African home, and living like an African, coming on camera to say you identify more with your British side, lol. You will appear silly to all the people that know you better.Stay real!

these Africans know they cant abandon their culture for foreign culture

did anyone else not understand a word the guy in the bow tie was saying?

Africa is a heavenly land where anybody who consider his or her self as a human being. Can spread their wings no matter what race you are! Is a continent where everybody is welcomed etc

I find it amazing how Black British people connect with their African Roots . You ask me or the average black American we don't know much about Africa . We would claim American so fast that its a damn shame . We're not taught these things and our Generations before us have been broken and disconnected from Africa since slavery .

Make Britain British Again!

It is no different if you are from Italian or Spanish parents ......you are proud and can identify from both........its what makes us all unique and fantastic

Pls fix your mic so we can hear it clearly

The host is so beautiful!

Wow there are sum beautiful Black Sistas in the UK 👍

Sound quality not up 2 standard

Hello sister. Are you from London?

I'm American Black. I'm here to know how black people from America are treated. I watch British show here at home. I love the country side. I wonder how I would be treated if I came for a visit. I wish some one here could be honest and tell me how things really are there in the UK for black people.

your culture is what is in your home, your parents your traditions your main food your habits etc. black is not a culture just like white is not a culture. you are either african european asian or caribbean etc. people can be nigerian british, british jamaican, Moroccan, irish British, chinese british nigerian somali, polish albanian british etc people dont just drop their identity just because they move abroad or are born elsewhere. an african in india doesn't become indian overnight they may be an indian national but of african origin therefore they would be a afro indian. All parents raise their children in their own culture. your culture is your identity. if you don't have a culture then you are black or white.

only as identify ourself because we are proud to be Africa

One thing that's similar with either African or African American women is the tradition of wearing weaves and wigs

Btw that host is so beautiful

The guy in the suit with his strong african accent is saying both looooooooool

Wow! SHE STRONG ARMS 💪🏿

Funny, I identify myself as the presenter's admirer!😘

I am 100% white and I love my pure clean white skin ❤️

They want to be British soo bad but I’m sure Britain reminds them who they are.

Africa for life

Keep up girl I like what u are up tooo

It's so crazy how African English citizens are more in tune with their African heritage than African Americans , African English citizens know where their culture comes from vs African Americans we do not know where we specifically come from all we know is that we came from africa or a colored country .Europeans have tainted the African American blood line

obviuosly their african its in their blood its where there family is from like parents or granparents its where they originate from they were just born in uk (london) obvs their ethnicity is african

** There is no conflict what so ever, if you were born in which ever country, that's going to be your nationality,regardless of the color of your skin.**

For me I’m Ghanaian, Spanish and English I identify with all 3 but I’m mixed so ig I have a different perspective on identity 😅 (for context I’m ethnically Ghanaian and Spanish but I was born and raised in London and Essex)
