Welcome to my channel! I am an African American woman who strongly believes that African Americans and Africans are closely connected by ancestry and history. Unfortunately, due to purposeful intent to divide by the “colonizers,” the…

Thanks for your discussion my sister
Good Video…with this mindset you'll have a successful marriage with your African man, and he'll be a responsible man by taking good care of you and your kids.
When two people get into an intercultural relationship, the woman should not be the only one adapting.
God bless you sista..As Nigeria man.. You're very correct..
Women keep other women single.. God bless you for your knowledge đš
Marriage is understanding .. on both sides .. whatever culture !
If you notice in the West ,
The typical â high valueâ men desires a humble loyal respectful good woman . Exactly what a good African man wants ! So no difference !
– Just more tradition!
Regarding respecting women (or lack there of) itâs culture specific. For an example in Ghana they had women like Yaa Asantewaa leading armies in the early 1900s https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yaa_Asantewaa
Even today in the western world, we are still debating if a woman can serve in the frontlines.
Goodness, "lower than grass, hear hell" lol. is that lady happily married? Thank YOU for your video.
Family does not mean be a handmaiden to an Afrikan man who hasn't matured. What is funny is that everyone but us Afrikan men are talking about how we are. The part about submission and being loyal is with old west Afrikan traditions, boy pampering has ended here in Kenya, we don't have such entitlement and rigidity here. Kenyan men are quite tolerant,mature and understanding, we are not needy like west Afrikan men who are very needy and quite immature in culture. Afrika has changed, many parts have modernized culture of manhood, allowing the women comfort and respect in marriage. Submission and obedience is a very old culture, but many backward cultures in west and central Afrika still pamper their boys. Afrikan Americans need to understand that there are modern Afrikans and traditionalists who have not advanced from pampering the male child. Look at Swaziland, girls must parade half naked for a chance to be a concubine to a useless and entitled Mama's boy, this and polygamy is what has kept Afrika underdeveloped. Majority of Afrikan traditions are based on entitled boys who fear being abandoned by their mother and forced to grow up and be self sufficient in basic needs, the burden of his existence is heaped on the female. West traditions are draconian and archaic, better a west Afrikan man who is modern and has discarded those boy pampering traditions. Here in modern Kenya, those boy pampering traditions are dead, you have to be a self sufficient man to marry here in Kenya.
Im South African, U r 100% right.As an African woman, I think a role of a married man is the same, throughout the rest of the world. Only the Western world women dont understand that.
Im married to an Arab man.
Nother good one there. Thank you Sister.
Well said Michelle.
Very enlightening discussion.
Good luck, I prefer to marry black Americans over Africans man even thou Iâm from Africa lol
Africa has more than a thousand varying cultural norms, codes & orders. It is very important to learn & understand what culture a man is from. Some cultures would honestly come out as totally outdated since are only suitable if practiced on a village level & therefore difficult for a western female to adapt to. Here in Kenya there are cultures where a clan got a say in your family life.. Being African myself find that kinda repulsive because in my culture we got boundaries…It's you & your husband to conduct your lives however best you want…
God bless you, my sister
