I am a Nigerian and I disagree that African American don't have a culture. You have. You have made something beautiful out of a chaotic situation and hands you were dealt with to create something unique for you. Of course there is bad and good in every culture but that is what makes it. Out of chaos you developed your style of dressing, slangs, music (hello) ' food and lots more. So yeah, I disagree that you don't have a culture. You do!. Am glad y'all made something beautiful out of a terrible situation good or bad, you created it and am proud of y'all.

​@@letstalkovercocktails 😊. Thanks for the reply. Just to add 'Akata' while literally means wild cat/panther. Contexually, it means 'acting brand new' like 'pretending to forget where you from b/c you been in the wild'. Nigerians in diaspora are sometimes called that. So a nigerian pretending not to speak his own language infront of others just to act cool, or pretending not to eat african foods or wear african attires etc may sometimes be called akata. So they will say 'she's acting like an akata'. Mostly it used when a form of pretence is sensed. Basically pretending to not know where you from to act cool but I think b/c most nigerians think black Americans are Africans & think we experience the same struggles, they then associate certain behavior as pretends not knowing history behind it. So if they see a black American use spoon to eat fufu for example, they say that person is an akata but its out of ignorance thinking every black persons know you use hands for that type of food. My thoughts all over the place but I hope my explanation helps. Bottomline is for akata to be used, the person must percieve a sense of pretence perhaps due to ignorance. Also anybody can be called that and its mostly not in a bad way but I won't say some don't use it in a bad way either. Its a word that can go either/or.

​@@gerardonochie3408This would be false. Our culture was easily seen and experienced until about 1980. Family, Church, marriage, food, music, sense of belonging and a future. What destroyed Black American culture was the importation of Crack Cocaine which obliterated Black families and Black ppl for almost 20 consecutive years. Along with removing good jobs from cities and putting millions of Black males in prisons and making sure they learned no trades for their 20 to 50 year sentences. Some of my friends got 360 years in prison. This is the part left out of these conversations.

When other people talk about culture they normally don't refer to most of the things you said, African Americans don't have a culture the same way White Americans don't have a culture. British or English people will tell you the same about White Americans, what's worse, is that White Americans who didn't have a culture created a cultureless Black American community that became worse than the white man who didn't have a culture. The culture in Black America is created by white masters, they determine for you when your culture must change, how to present your music and select who must present that culture. Africans, Arabs, Asians have a clearly defined culture, when we get married, when we burry our dead, when a child is born, traditional dances, traditional songs etc, etc... and those are things Black and White Americans don't have and that is the culture we are talking about.

Generalization is bad but how ever, there are too many black american women who built a RU-vid/Facebook page on stereotyping African men as needy and they should make sure he is rich before they consider dating them. Even with that, the are still concerned of the African guy leaving after getting greencard. My conclusion is, I think American men blend better with African women but the vice versa is more problematic because Black American women greencard are their defense line for their bad character. The good ones work, but most of them are bad. Stay away from them. Even the black american men don't really like them because of their character. Red flag to identify; tattoos, piercing extremely cosmetic, single parent, unmarried after 30....watch out for these. Not all are bad but most

I was concerned about the upbringing. I have somewhat changed. I think social media is opening me up. I just recently viewed content from a young Black American woman. I found her so impressive as a person that if I were twenty years younger, I would be laying out my strategy to win her. In fact, I am praying she finds that very special man. She is seeking a relationship with a Nigerian man, and I hope she finds the right one.

Have you all asked yourselves where Christianity was rooted from? How it was pass unto your ancestors? Whether it was passed by force? The intention behind spreading Christianity to us? And was it the same people that enslaved , colonized us and still neo colonizing today? Are they the same people that erased our history? Painted our tradition as evil while their Christianity is the best? As blacks, we should learn to ask ourselves these questions in order for you to dig deeper. This people are so focused on us and how to keep us down forever until will rise against them, they are fighting us mentally, physically, spiritually and in any means necessary and we still don't want to learn.

There's no one answer to this question. I've met some really awesome American sisters who I would have married if not for the relocation issue. Most Africans who plan on moving back to Africa in the future would have a hard time relocating an American woman and her kids back to Africa. So, the man would have to go back to Africa alone and remarry over there if he's really determined to move back. I've seen African men "stuck" in America due to marrying AAs, white, Filipina and Hispanic women. The issue isn't really about anything wrong with Black American women, the issue is just a logistic issue.

Informative! The Nigerian brother is very intelligent and insightful. The host is entreatable. Her humility enables her extract information. She is equally brilliant. I don't think Nigerians dislike Black Americans. It's simply about perceptions, trust, and culture. Personally, I have difficulty communicating with Black Americans. The first time I encountered a Black American male, I was eager to connect because I felt we had a kindred spirit. I found him to be guarded. It was almost as if he was suspicious of me. Over the years, I discovered he wasn't the exception. Black Americans have their perception of Africans. I don't necessarily know the roots of these notions but especially among the men, it makes a close relationship a challenge. The American experience of the Black brother can be very confining. He has adapted based on historical and circumstantial lessons. The truth is that the world is far bigger than America. Blacl men in particular will benefit from travel outside the shores of this country. With the women, it's less of a problem. They have their stereotypes of Africans, but they seem to be more inquisitive. They are women at the end of the day. If they find a man attractive, they will take the risk. Black Americans women tend to be take charge. They feel they can get the man to align with their program. They will be quick to point out to an African man that they will not be subjected to the traditional role - their notion of the role of women. This is where the problem lies on both sides. The Nigerian man, in particular, is groomed to be a leader. Nobody is going to push him around. He demands respect from his woman. He will treat her like the queen only when he is convinced she is willing to cooperate. Just like their Black American brother, they feel that they have options. It's very rare that a man will disintegrate because he can not have a particular woman. I have personally met Black American women that are marriage ready. They are strong Christians. Their faith makes them a little more submissive and willing to be subject to a man. I think that we are living in a time that women as a whole are reconsidering feminism. They are weighing their options. Nigerian men are beginning to marry African American women. This is the result of pentecostal Christianity. It is breaking barriers. A man is destined by God to be a leader. He is a groom. He should be able to positively influence his woman. People don't come perfect. Love is a most effective shaping tool.

Why are you practicing a religion that isn't of your culture? Look here.

That Nigerian is an arrogant and an entitled bigot and that woman failed to promote her culture in a positive light because she is self loathing. Black Americans have a culture, and Black American women aren't chasing down African men for marriage. In fact, the opposite is happening that African men are aggressively pursuing Black American women for dating and mating as well as their own women. I never had to pursue or convince an African nowhere to date me at all. And I recently had two aggressively pursuing me! Again, we have our own culture and it is imitated the whole world over. At least parts of it. No one from Africa who got colonized by Euros and Asians and influenced by them cannot sit there arrogantly as if they were not impacted and they retained their culture 100% when they didn't and many outright reject certain aspects of their culture. You aren't going to preach to me about culture this and that when you fleeing to other countries and not using that great culture to build your own nation and it hasn't corrected your corruption or your tribalism!

When he return to Nigeria, he changed his style to revolutionary music. Back then Nigerians assume all African Americans are members of the Black Panther Movement and the loved it. Akata is a Yoruba word Panther. It's the other tribes telling their African American friends that it means Animal because they don't know the roots or the meaning.

43:09 The general reason why Nigerian men hesitate to marry American women is because we think Americans in general do not take marriage seriously , are quick to opt out , do not cope well with structure and extended family this is the summary . The cultural differences . As a Nigerian I am not certain an American woman will be able to hold a family long term ,she could leave anytime even if things are going well . Another big issue is structure , an American woman will not be comfortable in the traditional family structure . It also seems like celebrities lead the culture in America which is detrimental to marriages . Others could include differences in perceived moral values or standards . Even if she’s a good person , she may do what the american system allows her to do like divorce just because she can and not because things are that bad . Besides that they are cool individuals but these reasons cast doubts on long term viability. I dated an AA for about 2 years , I grew to like her however i just wasn’t confident enough to take it further (long term) . American women are cute and likable as friends but for someone that takes marriage seriously it’s a big decision , a huge risk. Except if she’s the type of person that knows how to make a man 1000 % confident about her . These are my thoughts / observations

There is no woman on the PLANET who divorces a man “just because she can” 😂 A woman will divorce a man because he’s either abusive mentally and or physically, distant, lazy, confrontational and mean, a cheater (and we all know Nigerian men are notorious for being cheaters), someone who could care less about providing for her emotional needs because he’s only all about himself, and so on and so forth. It’s not just about bringing home a paycheck dude! It’s about bringing home ALL OF YOU. You are suppose to contribute more than just a check in a healthy, functional relationship. American women, as opposed to traditional Nigerian women understand that…. they MATTER just as much as a man does. Her position isn’t to be the servant of the house, but to be an equal and respected partner. So if this mentality supposedly makes American women " not marriage material” then….. THANK GOD 😂😂😂

Huh? Then how did more African slaves end up in Panama/South America than the U.S? By way of slavery. You are not very educated, please please go back and learn. Each culture developed in the diaspora based on tradition from Africa and some of it that was lost and diffused with Spanish/French Catholic or English Protestant cultures. This new identity and culture is absolutely culture. From LA to Panama. Okra, plantain, rice, fried foods, red colored drinks , Juneteenth celebrations (I’m a Texan), music born from our own communities now emulated all over the world, such as gospel, jazz, blues, country, rock, R&B, rap, historically black frats and sororities that are mostly generational and now have West African college student members, black inventors, debutante balls among the upper class Blacks,, the Harlem Renaissance which influenced literary movements and revolutionary movements worldwide from the 1920s to the 1960s, the Black church in itself had enough culture to circle the earth-from the large hats designed by black women to the linguistical oration of black preachers emulated by both White American and international preachers worldwide, to fashion trends, and even “slang” that becomes so popular, it changes the American English dictionary! The Geechie and Gullah cultures along the SE coast of the U.S. The creole cultures of Louisiana and distinct styles of dress and dance and Vodun rituals for ancestors derived from both Africa and converted Catholicism, and I, myself am a proud descendent of black farmers in Texas. Our Family reunion has been on held our land each summer for 70 years. I have my masters in history, because I love and admire ALL cultures.

As someone who has studied in Ghana, has a degree in Africana Studies, lives in Nigeria, and married to a Nigerian, I will say African Americans & Nigerians are more similar than different. Hell, many of us African Americans, African peoples in the diaspora, are from the yoruba tribe. I wish there was more understanding between us instead of judgment or perpetuating stereotypes. Some of Nigeria/Nigerians face very similar issues in their communities/cultural context. And, there's plenty of African American women & Nigerian men who are happily married.

As African, I always see American culture as predominantly African American culture. You have a culture, just like Carribeans have and so forth. And I will add to say, don't believe African cultures are safe from other influences, via Islam, Christianity, colonisation and so forth. But ultimately, I think we're all stuck with what is actually culture ? It's dynamic, it does change, mute, borrow to adapt. The Nigerian man in front of you, has a different culture from his ancestors few centuries ago, they would probably not identity with a lot things. For example religion. The same way you dislike the use of your culture in the American capitalistic environment, the same I dislike part of African cultures. The only difference is yours has a big zoom on it.

I understand the host when she said, “African Americans do not have a culture”. As Nigerians, we can identify a person’s tribe by their looks, clothes, Names, and accents. Our tribes are unique, and our cultures are very different although you may find a few similarities the differences are so vast. Our meals, looks, names, languages, festivals, history, houses, masquerades, and traditional religions are different. Our forms of communication, greetings, proverbs, and gestures are unique. The Rich, Poor, and middle class exist. Many Nigerians in the US can be from any of such backgrounds. Most Nigerians who hustle so hard are those from poor backgrounds. Nigerians also have a middle ground because, for a country of over 500 unique languages and over 300 tribes, we communicate in English, Most Nigerians understand “Pidgin English” which is our preferred means of communication. Marriage is sacred for Nigerians, we do about three weddings to marry a woman as a wife. The court wedding, the church, and the traditional wedding. We don’t do divorce, for most of it, Marriage is until death do you part. I think another reason Nigerians don’t take AA women seriously is because of divorce, and the divorce laws in America. A divorced man in Nigeria can foot the bills of his kids without paying child support, the Kids can stay with whichever parent is financially stable.

@LoveAlways1002 You are a wise woman...lol. Nigerian men are not worth the trouble, and are not particularly emotionally intelligent or humane - there are good ones, but its a gamble. In general, black men across the world seem to be underachievers AS A COLLECTIVE (Individually they might do well). I dont know why black women care/engage with topics like this. Allow these men keep talking and prancing like peacocks, while their counterparts in other races are conquering outer space....SMH

I know that white media has accentuated the negative part of our culture and shipped it abroad to make themselves look good and us look less than human. There is so much good in our culture despite what is broadcast. One cannot generalize! I’ve definitely heard negative things about Nigerians and experienced it. But I do not generalize 😊

Firstly, as a British born Nigerian, this is so endearingly beautiful to see... I'm an ambassador for the African - Caribbean - USA unity by action as regards interaction with our peoples everywhere.... That's my religion, not church. However, black Americans Do have a culture which is so infectious on the entire black race for the most part... The beauty of the music.. Especially real soul.. Listen to groups like CHANGE, BB&Q.... the Hip hop,... Stations like WBLS in New York,... Hot 97.....thats just music and entertainment alone we garnered out of the pain of the enemy of both of us.... The pain of exclusion.... There's the intelligence, inventions hidden from our own educational knowledge... No wonder Einstein was endeared to us... This constellation of our own self creative endeavour borne out of deliberate external denial from the other race is culture enough and is beyond reproach! Love to us all... 🥂

Black folks do have a culture. Listen. The nucleus of American African/Black culture originates from the Gullah Geechee. The Gullah Geechee people are descendants of Africans who were enslaved on the rice, indigo and Sea Island cotton plantations of the lower Atlantic coast. The nature of their enslavement on isolated island and coastal plantations created a unique culture with deep African retentions that are clearly visible in the Gullah Geechee people’s distinctive arts, crafts, foodways, music, and language. Gullah Geechee is a unique, creole language spoken in the coastal areas of North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Florida. The Gullah Geechee language began as a simplified form of communication among people who spoke many different languages including European slave traders, slave owners and diverse, African ethnic groups. The vocabulary and grammatical roots come from African and European languages. It is the only distinctly, African creole language in the United States and it has influenced traditional Southern vocabulary and speech patterns. A majority of AAVE/Black English originates from the Gullah.

Americans do not have the strength to “Hear” the truth and instead resort to violence or name calling. Slavery still exists and the suffering continues, but Americans need to find a balance between being free to express themselves and resorting to violence against one another.

Last time i checked respect goes both ways. don't demand something you can't give. Not that is the truth

Being married to a Nigerian man and dealing with his family they can be very judgmental especially when your opinion is different and you stand strong on what you believe then you are labeled difficult but aslong as you go along with them you will be fine and I’m glad that I married a Nigerian man that is not afraid of my strength or my own opinions that He judges me from his heart and not what others think And I have come to the conclusion that I’m ok with being Different judge me for me the person for my heart not because I don’t think the same it’s really sad to see people that look like you are the most critical ❤

Culture consists of food ways, music, traditions, religion, language....We have all of it. Our food: Soul food; Our religion: Hoodoo; Our Language: Geechie/Gullah, Tutnese, and New Orleans Creole, African American vernacular; Our music: Rap, Soul, Hip Hop, Jazz, Rock, Fun, R& B, etc...We have a culture, we are not a people who lost anything b/c we gave up what we considered not relevant and useful such as tribalism and knowing all the different languages of each enslaved tribe. It was no point to keep all that when you have to communicate with each other! That's why we created our own creoles and dialects that all of us could understand! Let me on that stage and I would have served both of them for that ignorance.

I am from Kenya and I live in Dallas, TX. Some years back I met a beautiful young AA woman from California., she had arrived in TX by way of Japan, we started liking each other, one evening I took her out to my favorite American restaurant. We had a good time and we’re there for about three hours. Eventually we had to leave and paid for the tab with a credit card and tipped the wait cash. Man all hell broke loose, what the hell did I tip the waitress for. Long story short, that was the end of it.

No they wont. They want to break you. Submission is not enough. They want blood. I cannot submit to men who are psychologically, emotionally and/ or physically abusive. I wont. I did have a relationship with a man of 12 years dutation. He was from Trinidad. He was so masculine. He made me purrr but he could not commit so we went our separate ways. He erected walls and had a dark side which I understood and stayed clear of, and we rarely argued. All in all it remains one of the best, least drama filled relatiinships ive ever had. But the rest were with AA and were all very dissatisfying from cheaters to gamblers. All educated with good jobs! Im done.

When I speak of culture I think of clothes, fabrics, foods, language… traditions... not just recreational events or entertainment. Other cultures have those things. That’s what I mean… I wish we had more depth to us other than Sexy Red… etc. I love being AA… I would love for us to showcase more respectful traditions. Again, thank you for the comment and the support! 💕✨

I agree with @letstalkovercocktails much of the entertainment mentioned as being "culturally" African American is more recreational and not rooted in any traditional value. The only things I can think of that are structured and traditional are jumping the broom, sororities, some of our foods and HBCU's that's it. I think we have become extremely wayward and destructive as Americans to be honest.
