This is also something that AA need to know and understand about blacks in the UK. We have a tendency to assume that because we encounter blacks from other countries and continents that they’re just like us. We know that they’re not American we just assume that we are all the same. We don’t mean any harm we just see connect and community with those that look like us. But,Us overlooking that they aren’t AA feeds the idea that Americans as a whole are ignorant to the cultures and going on’s of other ethnic groups around the world. I’m saying all of this to say that we should not be surprised by this if we educated ourselves about others.
Regardless of birthplace, if you're black with kinky or wooly hair, you're still African.
l am from Mozambique and love seeing black nation together.
WODE MAYA LOOKS LIKE MARCUS GARVEY
Some AA guy told me his ancestors weren't slaves. And that he was indigenous to the Americas. I got confused.
They are not Africans. Brazilians are not Africans but South Americans. So they are right to be offended. Wode Mada would be offended if he were called Indian.
Well you can’t call them Portuguese 🤦🏾♂️
LUPE’ … Wode Maya said, “On my last video I saw people commenting that slavery was fiction.”
I am Haitian. I am not african.Caraibeans yes. My ancestors work too hard to give us the land. Thank you Toussaint Louverture, Jean Jacques Dessallines.
The statement made by that Brazilian boy is not entirely accurate; the majority of Brazilians are not of Black people. The census here relies on self-declaration, and only 8% of the population identifies themselves as Black. Forty percent identify themselves as White, 2% as Asian, 1% as Native American, and the remaining portion considers themselves of mixed race. The self-declaration system is based on individuals' perceptions of their identity. Only 8% of us identify as Black because, contrary to that person's assertion, many individuals with Black ancestry also have a significant percentage of European heritage (much more than black people in the US according to some DNA studies), resulting in a mixed-race classification. The thinking that no matter how much black African DNA you have makes you African is a North American concept, not a Brazilian concept, this idea has been imported from there it's not a "natural" picture of what we really think of us.
Furthermore, the notion that Black Brazilians are automatically classified as Afro-Brazilians is a relatively new concept. Many of us do not share this perception, as our culture is a blend of five distinct cultural influences. We simply identify ourselves as Brazilians, no matter our skin color. Personally, I have undergone a DNA test revealing that I am 73% European, 12% Black African, 11% Native American, and 4% Asian. Just as I do not identify myself as European, a Black Brazilian, in most cases, may not identify solely as African despite they are aware of their African roots and that Africa has a significant role in our culture and history. WE ARE JUST BRAZILIANS! (the most mixed and wonderful people on earth, probably because of our African-european-native-asian culture? maybe) and I really dislike the fact that these ideas have contaminated our thinking of what we are and how it's been dividing our people into black and white shit, just like what happens in the US. That is NOT our reality.
I just love my people ❤❤❤❤
I've nothing to do with Africa. Maybe other Brazilians feel connected which is their right but I can't connect to the people who sold my ancestors in the most inhumane way. My ancestors were criminally forced into a ship, betrayed and hurt by those who were supposed to protect them – other black ppl. The moment those greedy blacks agreed to sell my ancestors, the connection died there. On the other hand, they arrived in Brazil, escaped slavery and mingled with native brazilians, to this day we're a beautiful community of mixed ppl, the Natives became new family, I have white mix too but natives and the black ppl Africans betrayed started a whole new race, the mixed ones here in the new world 🇧🇷
I won't insult any of my ancestors by claiming I'm African when Africa didn't want us back then, you all claiming us now coz we're perceived as "exotic" and attractive, I don't see many Africans this proud about Haiti were most ppl there are just black without visible mixing. But Africans love to claim mixed ppl from Brazil, Colombia, Dominican Republic. Africans need to face some accountability too, not just be given a free pass for having sold millions of ppl to slavery. The Oyo empire, madame tinubu, Kosoko to oba all sold ppl to Brazil and their descendants pretty much still have privileges built on the suffering of millions of ppl. I've read letters from that era, Kosoko the oba selling slaves to Brazil slave masters and it broke my heart 💔.
My ancestor are fierce af for having survived despite the hurt they endured due to such coward betrayal by other Africans. I hope you make a video about the Youruba enslavers too as much as you enjoy erasing the identity of those in the diaspora
This is great, much love from 🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪
Not all black people in the Americas are descended from African slaves.
When the euro terrorists arrived in the Americas they found black people living all over.
Y’all should review Wode Maya’s other video, on Racism in Brazil, as well.
The perpetrators of such evil act do not want to accept their deeds ,so they call slavery fiction because that will make them feel no accountability for those who perish
Hello hello if they think SLAVERY IS A FICTION LET THEM GO TO GHANA AND OTHER PLACES TO SEE THE SLAVE CASTLES. DUNGEONS.
You just got a follower, my people in America. No matter where we are, black people are one. One love from this Nigerian ❤
To be honest Afro Brazilians are not educated well enough to know or understand Africa. I used to live in Brazil and when Brazilians ask me where I’m from I tell them I’m Jamaican and they assume Jamaica is a country located in Africa. One time I was told by a Brazilian I don’t dress like a Jamaican and I’m like wtf that even means?
I'm Brazilian I've Black ancestry as well as native Brazilian and Portuguese but my black African friends do not see me as Black or African. They don't expect me to call myself African. Brazil is highly mixed, the northern region of the country has the largest population os castizos Caucasian with indigenous, no African DNA as research shows yet the black movement lumps the castizos of no black ancestry with pardos who are afro descendentes. This is why there's this huge misconception that pardo are all black/afro ancestry
In Brazil most people who are descedents of africans who were enslaved dont know theirs specific ancestry becouse after slavery was abolished and the monarchy fell to a "republic" the ex slave owners wanted to be remboursed for freeing their slaves so the government not wanting to pay them burned all the slave buying records so they "couldn't " track whos was a slave to pay reparations to the ex-slave owners,so whover knew were they came from was only able to pass the information orally which tended to get lost to time.
It's wrong to call black Brazilian african because most "blacks" are triracial.
There's a Kenyan tribe in Paraguay. The Akamba Tribe.
They arrived in Paraguay as members of a regiment of 250 spearmen, men and women, who accompanied General Jose Gervasio Artigas, the independence´s leading revolutionary of the Eastern Band (the current Uruguay) in his exile in Paraguay in 1820.
Sad that not many Kenyans know this, probably even most of the Akamba people of Kenya.
4:50 We were in the entire western world prior to Columbus and those who followed. That doesn't mean slavery is fiction.
Wow and they are the largest black ethnic group living outside Africa in the world
Want others to love and accept them but they hate who they are
Africans arrived in the Americas long before slavery, so my great Wode Maya got that wrong.
Africans were early travellers, you can see that in Central America. Who or What are Olmec statues?
The Olmec colossal heads are stone representations of human heads sculpted from large basalt boulders. They range in height from 1.17 to 3.4 metres (3.8 to 11.2 ft). The heads date from at least 900 BC and are a distinctive feature of the Olmec civilization of ancient Mesoamerica.
Plus Africans were visitors to other parts of the Americas, trading with the native people.
I don't think the person that made the comments you analyzed knows much. In countries like Sierra Leone, Atlantic Slave Trade is thought in Schools . So it's not every country or people from West Africa.
