Shalom Sister Kayla, well said and your words are most edifying. May The Most High who is omnipresent and omnipotent continue to put the spirit on you. APTTMH! 🙏🙏🙏
That's the American school system.they teach that. They teach blacks to mad and oppressed about slavery even though it happen way before then. They shod talk about all the things black Americans did to help the country but instead they just keep the cycle going. So to rise up you ha e to do it on your own
So happened I met a man from Nigeria 🇳🇬 and he is of the Igbo tribe. We got married this year in Nigeria on 7th of February, about 3-4 days before we got married I found out my ancestors were Igbo from Nigeria. Visiting Nigeria being in Africa for two weeks and coming back to the US was a change in me because I couldn’t stop thinking of my mother land. I ended up sick and depressed so I told my husband I wanted to move to Africa back to where I belong and now I happy, the best decision I’ve made.
World of advise Blaq America marry within U different from any blaq...U involuntery American others came to America voluntarily ...marry yours so that ur culture not vanish prioritise AA man period ...U different U hv slavery blood running thrue ur vains hey..them not
@@zisilemoyi3203 You need to delve into the spiritual, go deeper. Blood and spirit when awake calls forth into generation unknown, connecting all the links in your ancestral travel from the origin to the present. It's no coincidence why your family DNA carry everything that you are. Sometimes we find it difficult to understand why a member of our family marry outside the race. It's spiritual!!! Dots are connected throughout our existence.
We will help you move to Africa Start packing You're own kind won't you back home We will be glad to point out the way Hurry be for they changed their minds
What is up with all the salty and snide responses. When white American goes to Ireland to learn more about his heritage it’s met with indifference or applause. When American black people want to learn more about heritage, people become ridiculous and salty. What to you all have against black people learning more about our ancestors and history?
Ghastly_Grinner how is it any different than going back to Ireland where their own people sold them out in conjunction with the British to create one of the largest famines in recorded history and a population exodus that the Irish people still haven’t recovered from in to the 21st century? Know your history
@@Ghastly_Grinner The people that were sold and enslaved are long dead, their descendants are seeking connection with the African continent. Brainless buffoon.
BLOATED GOAT Exactly what I was thinking. What could someone find wrong with searching for your ancestral history? I remember about ten years ago when I saw a video of Emmit Smith of the Dallas Cowboys breaking down in tears after a tour of the "port-of-no-return" in west Africa. Big man, big heart and no regrets. BG
As an African (senegalese to be exact), i love seeing African Americans and Africans across the diaspora retracing their roots. Come back home, you are always welcome and we love you unconditionally!!! Your history didn't start with the slavery and oppression, you were and always will be kings and Queens!! Much love!
As Africans, we need to call upon our leaders to make laws that allow AAs to settle (or just do business) in any African country of choice. Also make Haiti a member of the African Union.
Slaves were taken from West Africa not from whole of Africa. So you can't just settle anywhere in Africa. East Africans differs ethnically from west Africans and north Africans.
@Signal 6EQUJ5 obviously we're all humans. No one said otherwise. You can live anywhere if you have money. This talk of nation states is very normal in the old world. Don't see the old world with the eyes of the US. The us is very unique, it's the new world.
To all Africans abroad, who did not choose to be outside of Africa. Go and discover your roots, experience the great cultures, habits, history of your kings, queens, warriors. This is your identity. I also did this with my heritage, as my ancestors were used as modern slaves from india when African slavery was abolished. I wish for all of you a great journey of discovery.
@Signal 6EQUJ5 Pretty racist of me to wish people a great journey of discovery, what was I thinking!?!? Thanks for pointing that out. I will try to beat that little racist out of me.
@James FrankoIt's a colonial myth. For those who speak French wanting to know more, check out the video the egyptologist Kalala omotunde did on la traite négrière. Anyhow, I am talking to those who seek the truth.
@James Franko actually that not true. That is a common lie used by white supremacists. Actually this guy wasn't even the first slave owner and only became one win his indentured servant broke there contract. If they didn't do that he would have never been a slave owner. Also African slavery is no where near chatel slavery as African slavery you could get out of slavery pretty easily by working your way threw the ranks. Lastly most African kingdoms at the time sold slaves as a cry for money as at the time the Songhai empire was in it prime which hog most of the gold and salt trade route from the Sahara desert.for example Mali , the benin empire and Dahomey empire which a lot of slaves came from.
@Gibson Ampaw Nor should they. If they want to come back, they should be brothers and sisters, not colonizers. Fix the poverty for Africans in the Americas. Which is immense. Ghana will fix the poverty for Africans in Ghana. And we'll grow together.
I'm am not interested in any slave trade stuff. I'm only interested in the beautiful people of Africa. My beautiful people. One love to all my people all over the world
@Fannie New Hamer How ignorant. Look up the atrocities in the Congo Free State for one of many examples of hardships African people had to endure under white colonialism.
You are not interested in any slave trade stuff you're only interested in the beautiful people of Africa,so how you would be interested in a people but not their history,you don't want to know the truth,you sound confusing as hell,and you call yourself the truth,don't you won't you want to see and hear the truth,come on have some intelligence and clear your mind it's the reality and conciousness.
But african americans are descendants of benin and other slave trade countries in africa not the other parts of africa. I hate to say it but africans were very rich back then and one of their greatest mistake were selling their OWN slaves to the white men.
They have tried to put a wedge between Africans and African Americans. O hope more will just even visit to see for themselves the welcome they will get. Let everyone come home. We need to build up the continent. We need to complete with the world. Enough of watching Black people being shot by police in America or beaten up in other countries. We will find a common tongue...and common currency to trade within African. Africa go survive
Am from Kenya, and every time i watch these videos of our brothers coming back to trace back their origins, i cry. But am glad more are coming to claim their identity. I would love to see them learn their languages and take back their names.
@@fabulousfarrahinsouthafrica You're not forced to come. Tell me one European descent who doesn't know where they come from? And they have their identity. Do you?
This is great, and why I like this idea of African American’s coming to Africa is to connect to their roots, not necessarily for them to move back to Africa but to regain that psychological connection and through that the unconscious troubled soul will reconnect to its identity which through the evil effects of slavery seem to have been disconnected. With this new awareness they will return to America with a deeper sense of power and self-confidence.
@Deshone Robinson "The BIBLE" Greatest Book Ever Written. Last Days Prophesy! Babylon The Great (America) Is Falling. 2 TIMOTHY 2:16 But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness. All Praises To The Most High and his Son.
@Deshone Robinson No it's not. Approximately 375,000 Africans were brought to the United States. The majority were brought to Brazil which is why they have the largest population of African people outside of Africa. People in the Caribbean and the Geechee Gullah people still speak a dialect that includes West African languages.
Wow, just watching this made me tear up. I can only imagine what it;s like to actually be there. I'm planning my trip to Sierra Leone in December this with African Ancestry...
Don't tear up. Just respect yourself as an African and walk as a proud black man. Proud meaning not being fueled by your impulses. Marry a proud black woman.
@J796 I know!! my name is spanish... I'm from Cameroon but my mom gave me that name. She probably saw it in some telenovela lol.... I had a lot of Hispanics thinking that I am their sister that I learned Spanish and now fully fluent! Breaking the barriers!!! 👍👍👍
Faxx soo we black Americans can get away from Europeans because they do sooo much for y’all Latinos i mean literally we dot. Get anything that’s why some of us go back two Africa
Awesome! So proud of these young folk for reaching out to bridge-the-gap between themselves and their historical background. I guarantee you they will never be the same. It's liberating!
We need the afro Latinos, afro Iraqis, afro Yemeni, afro Arabian and all the afro aborigines across Australia and the Pacific islands back. Come back home and let's build.
Why do you need a grant? Do a research first before travelling. Each country is different and suits different personalities. Once the virus pandemic is over travel over. You need valid visa. She said there's a waiting list though.
It’s always amazing too me when I hear African Americans speak of dream vacations and it always entails European countries and culture , never where they come from. And this form of tourism could uplift Africa and change its image... I am going home soon!!!
I don’t blame the American brothers and sisters of African decent wanting to leave. The treatment and inequality is beyond comprehensible. Reconnecting with their ancestor land and roots is very spiritual and therapeutic. However with that said. Some are are content with where they are. And not wanting to leave and fight for the proper representation and betterment of people of color. Each persons have their own personal reason and desire to choose what life to live.
@Frederick Dorsey any many blacks wouldn't have become millionaires if not for the white man. face it you need white people. Most doctors are white, white people maintain the infrastructure, run the economy, virtually everything, you would be lost without all of the white mans inventions that you use on a daily basis. Give up you tv, car, phone, air conditioner, heat, plumbing, airlines, medication, doctors, dentists, computers, trains, microwaves, refrigerators, stoves, washing washing machines/dryers, various sciences, cures for diseases, space exploration, and so much more...now I will hear crickets...
@RoTsAtCo KhTsGa Funny thing is it was in that way that Botswana became so rich, it didn't refuse foreign investors/investments and chose to free their markets and investment, meanwhile we saw a Republic of Congo going fully marxist, closing itself to the world, full of resentment and hatred against foreign stuff(pretty usual to socialist countries). So that's how we see what idea is the best, a country having xenophobic/ethnophobic policies will never flourish to be rich. Long live Botswana!
The scene at the end showing rhe last steps on the African being taken in slavery,, puts the music got me in my feelings, big to the production, and big up to my people, Love ❤❤🖤💚
I love this. What brilliance. I can see the excitement of these people returning home where they are accepted and honored for all that they are. The best to you all!!!
@@landon6054 Who is they? Name the tribe(s). Name those that were forced to take part in the slave trade at the threat of massacre of their entire tribe. Name Black slave catchers in the US and those that told "massa" about a planned revolt or escape. Until then, shut the hell up and stop embarrassing yourself with ignorance.
@@konpeitosama If you're European, it is beyond you to understand our ways. We are our ancestors, and our ancestors are us. At our core, we understand interconnectedness. At your core is disconnection.
This is beautiful!! I never thought I would want or desire to go to Africa until I was mature enough to understand and now as an adult I have a longing to go
I am a white man born and raised around Dallas, Texas. According to a dna test, I have African dna pumpin through my veins and lies within every microscopic fiber of my being......so, seein that I’m technically a mixed race individual, what do yall say about a white boy who would move to the mother land of ONE of his ancestors, based on their African nationality? I believe this is really cool. The great great great great great grandchildren of Africans going home to where they should’ve been born. ALL blacks around the globe that are not in Africa are the descendants of slaves. Now, not all slaves were taken by force. Lots were sold to the Europeans, and the kings of these villages became wealthy. this story is awesome! But I believe there is this guilt that runs through everyone of these individuals. I believe these individuals are the blacks that use the atrocities of white men committed upon the blacks, from the ships sailing away from the African coast with slaves and arriving in the America’s, to the Segregation and racism if he 1960s and Martin Luther King, to benefit themselves. Everything is racist. Trumps racists. The American flag is racist. The cops are racists. 200 year old statues are racist. Yet I’m willin to bet all of these individuals son this video are democrats. The very same party that created the kkk, established segregation and Jim Crowe laws, hunted down blacks and hanged them from trees, fought for the enslavement of blacks.....all while republicans, trumps supporters such as myself do not believe in, and republicans fought AGAINST all of those horrible ideologies. As AMERICANS of all colors, religions, and nationalities, we’ve overcome and fought for so much. We’ve conquered the evils of the past. There’s no changing history, no rewinding the time, no lacking back the lives lost and families broken apart. But through time, we’ve fought through courage and determination not let hate win. Yes, I’m white, yes, I’m a trump supporter, yes I love my guns, love to hunt, and what 99.9% of blacks in America would call a racist red neck, but I’m far from it and my wife is a dark skinned Hispanic from a socialist shithole.......I will be honest, I’ve had African friends, from Nigeria and Sudan to be exact, and they say Africans hate black americans. Because blacks in America have only built the most dangerous streets and neighborhoods, and the most disrespectful, degrading, vulgar music genres in America....truth hurts. Coming from a man who grew up in the country and in the ghettos, with gang shootings 5 houses down from me, police shootouts with black suspects three blocks over, my car being broken into by blacks, I can confirm this.
My grandparents was a descendants of Ethiopia 🇪🇹 and Trinidad 🇹🇹 living on a Indian reservation💓 So glad they taught me who I am!!! Africa I will see you someday soon🥰
You are very correct, they should be given this speech before travelling anywhere, while back home in africa, etc. They should know they have resources, their resources as far as they can see. It is their land tooo.
I am from Africa, I LOVE MY AFRICAN AMERICAN BROTHERS AND SISTERS.. Please come back home, forget the past. The present matters right now.. Start by visiting Africa. You all are welcome home.. We Love you all...
you didn't know that you are from SLAVE stock. have you ever read books or been to a library. does the name Marcus Garvey ring a bell. WTF. look at the damage that TV, movies and SM have done in such a short time. Wake up. You are drooling on the pillow again.
France 24 better learn. Ain't nothing like afro American ok. Better recognise ✊🏿... It is AFRICAN American or AFRICAN. Black we Black. "Don't really care where you come from as far as you're a Black Woman or man you're an African" (Peter Tosh)
If you’d listened to the video you would’ve heard the narrator say “enslaved on the American continent”. Meaning your comment is pointless because the narrator WAS NOT referring to slavery on the African continent for 4 centuries, but the AMERICAN continent. Open your ears weirdo🤡
@@martinsmith2258 The narration is poor regardless - "the American continent" is wrong, as the Americas are not one continent, they are two, and South American colonies have a far longer and harsher history of slavery than the United States. It is totally insensitive to omit certain history to suit your own narrative as is done here. If they had said "one of the darkest chapters in Western history" perhaps that would be better fitting? Slavery was not unique to the United States; it is a part of almost every nation’s history, from Greek and Roman civilizations to contemporary forms of human trafficking. The American part of the story lasted fewer than 400 years. How, then, do we calculate the timeline of slavery in America? Most historians use 1619 as a starting point: 20 Africans referred to as “servants” arrived in Jamestown, Virginia on a Dutch ship. It’s important to note, however, that they were not the first Africans on American soil. Africans first arrived in America in the late 16th century not as slaves but as explorers together with Spanish and Portuguese explorers. One of the best-known of these African “conquistadors” was Estevancio, who traveled throughout the Southeast from present-day Florida to Texas. As far as the institution of chattel slavery - the treatment of slaves as property - in the United States, if we use 1619 as the beginning and the 1865 13th Amendment as its end, then it lasted 246 years, not 400 as stated in the video.
@Aiko Sorry, the wording just didn't sit right with me. An estimated 388,000 slaves, or 4 - 6% of the transatlantic slave trade came to the United States. A significant number of enslaved Africans arrived in the American colonies by way of the Caribbean, where they were “seasoned” and mentored into slave life. They spent months or years recovering from the harsh realities of the Middle Passage. Once they were forcibly accustomed to slave labor, many were then brought to plantations on American soil. The majority of enslaved Africans went to Brazil, followed by the Caribbean. An estimated 4.9 million slaves from Africa were brought to Brazil during the period from 1501 to 1866.
Runnymede85 thanks for the info but much of that is common knowledge😭and you strayed kinda far away from what I was talking about. But really thanks for the info!
@@mariemely1343 No living person in the United States has ever been a slave, or owned one. I think it's funny how black people want to shake you down for reparations, or how white people feel the need to cleanse themselves of white guilt. Even resorting to having a "black people feet washing party" in Seattle.
I think it is beautiful to be able to go back to your roots and experience where your ancestors came from. It must bring some kind of belonging feeling. I'm not sure where my family comes from but maybe one day I can figure it out. Love you all. We may be different but we are still human
There are a lot of great scholars in Africa that will provide you with more information in regards to slavery than you will find here in America. I'm so happy and proud that we are starting to reconnect with our brothers and sisters. Great things are to come. Can't wait!
Welcome guys it's so emotional and sad and happy at the same time . You are welcome home... Goverment need to support you guys by giving you homes and amount of money to start afresh, to those who need it. Not everone has business in their mind. Some need peace and not to rushed to anything but to be.
@palermo1kid Africa is not able to welfare anyone enough not even local ppl. That will be just a welcome addition for a brother and a sister. To them that will still not make it up only YAH. They deserve that by truth.
I’m thinking of moving to Ghana. I have been doing research on Ghana after seeing articles of how Ghana is accepting of Black Americans. My boyfriend is from Haiti but I definitely want to visit Ghana before I decide if I want to move there. I have been saving money so I can travel.
Call the Nigerian or any African Embassy of your choice. Go try first on a visit and connect with ANYBODY. I am positive as heck you will get the foundation to moving IN BACK HOME TO MOTHER AFRICA.
Bro. Fear of unknown is more of a virus than COVID19, we back home are sincerely waiting to receive you with Joy and all humility,live from Nigeria.Africa is the most beautiful continent on earth
@@scottallen6227 that is why we are unique in our diversity,no Nigeria tribe or culture forbid other tribes from living in cities of choice,rivalry is natural,but we are better in Africa.If white can have all the freedom in Africa,then Africa Americans will enjoy more freedom
This is very inspiring, i want to do this. I want to go back To the mother land. And God willing one day I will. So proud of those who were able to make that trip, more of us so called black people from the diaspora need to join together to go back home.
My beautiful African American brothers and sisters please visit east Africa we are you family to and we love you and we know you raised the image and status in the world one people we are much love from london I'm somali not from Somalia but from the Republic of somaliland
All the first named place I have in my blood Togo Benin Ghana Nigeria Congo Cameroon Bantu if anybody has information links about the people I'd appreciate it
Genealogy research is key to understanding our ancestors and knowing who you are, if you don't know who your 3rd great grandma is then you may not know who you are and what you may know is HIS-STORY
