  1. Brother Phil, thanks for the wonderful work, I'm African, born and bred, and believe me, most of us are lost. Still mentally shackled by the colonial thing. It's about time people of African descent across the globe came together and fought for a better future and save future generations from bigotry and racism. The 21st century is a different ball game. We either unite the continent and the diaspora as one and fight and claim back ownership of the continent and its resources or perish. We should learn from history as the most hated race. Bless ya'll.

  2. All black people must be careful and unite. Most Africans may not get it because deep down, Africans have been suffering in their way because our leaders are puppets by the west pulling the strings.
    Most that travel are going to be quiet because they sold, a whole family lands, borrowed sold houses to work for a better future for their families. They may be good in their fields but have no idea about history we are not taught let alone how the American government have systematically undermined black Americans.
    Other thing that Americans should know is if you start calling an African insulting names they will use anything even if is a taboo to hit you back. As human beings no one like to be push around non disrespected.
    I remember being abused for no reason by Caribbean not one but so many times unprovoked. Calling me names African this African that, some sad you sold us then I said what? Yes you sold us which made me angry and hit back. So I made my own investigations and asking questions and reading, that is when I got to know a little. So, to handle the whole situation of slavery. I also taught them what they did not know about most Africans or where I come from.
    Now most of my friends are from Caribbean. As I speak now I have a family in a nutshell we are Family from Jamaica. They are buying plots of land in my country.
    We must not dwell on a few and unite. If not we must show respect to eachother.
    If anyone comes for me I roar like a lion, because when any black person is being treated unfair, it hits, and my heart aches. Peace

  3. We all for one over here, take that travializim the hell home..no remix think from the berlin confrence 😢, we not having it here…..the fight is not us dummies..we the one you all sopposed to back up from the slave trade. Remember you all that toke place or collected benifits from selling us

  4. Hi Phil. This video is really accurate and I applaud this lady to get on camera with the truth, but at the end of the day the Africans who think like that they will learn the hard way if something were to happen to them and they will beg for black Americans to bail them out. People will perish from lack of knowledge and I can’t blame brainwashing because they can unlearn it. Africans you have no friends whatsoever, and you don’t know how deep anti black racism runs throughout the world. You need Africans diasporas as your backup.

  5. Phillip….now, after listening to you all the way… they sound like an unbelievable. I do believe they must have cast a spell on those people.

  6. I think their mindset, it’s sad. their ignorance still exist. the white man has never cared for the Black Man and anything he does that appears like good, there is an agenda behind it. Just think of how many Africans the Whyt Man keep on destroying.
    What make them think they’re gonna care any more about an African just because they came to America. They gonna still get the around the world Black Man treatment.
    Wake Up Black Man!!!!
    Time for us to all……
    COME TOGETHER!!!!!
    As Dr Claud Anderson
    Said, “We Have No Friends”

  7. Then they are as ignorant as their enemies always thought they were. It’s why they always trying to destroy them with different diseases and taking their riches from heir land.
    Wake up!! African people, Them Folks have no love for you, nor anyone who looks like you. WAKE UP!!!!!
    YOU NEVER SIDE WITH YOUR ENEMY…….

  8. I respect what she is saying about the African immigrant experience. However, with the expansion of technology, social media and viral atrocities against FBAs..,that outlook is no longer acceptable and it seems like their go to excuse on why they hate on FBAs so much.

  9. Let me try to explain what the lady in the video was trying to say. I don't think she meant it has so much to do with not wanting to identify with blackness per se, like she puts it, I believe it's more about survival and achieving for many Africans who immigrate to anywhere, be it United States or Europe. Africans who travel to western countries, immigrated to better their lives as well as to be able to support their families back home. They believe that hard work and education is empowerment, so their mind is already prepared from home and geared towards that, but when they see that some African Americans depend on welfare, are into drugs, care only about sport and music and not about education, or getting involve in politics, building businesses, they are kind of confuse because that's not all that Martin Luther King fought for. These Africans want to better their lives right? So they are rather disappointed that African Americans are not striving for all these things, but appear to be laid back, hence associating with them will jeopardize their chances of making it because they might be led astray.

    However, little do some of these Africans who are doing well understand that African Americans were held down on purpose in some ways, but some of them, are starting to get it and some still do not maybe because they are thinking, if they say dem folks are responsible for them not rising, why are they allowing Africans to rise.

  10. @11:00 So my question is why don't you stay where you are in Africa….put in all that work to be successful where you came from?

    All that tribalism is why Africa was colonized.

  11. They will live next door to us but try To separate themselves from us! by living next door to us??. Oh but when them folks call those "special africans" the N word, they want our help. So much to say so little space.

  12. It does seem that African people assimilate better with getting along here in usa and not draw attention to themselves. Therefore it seems whites and Africans get along better than Africans and black Americans. Due to black peoples negative outlook they choose to push on afican immigrants.

  13. Anyone ever watch the Planet of the Apes film series? Particularly the "War for the Planet of the Apes" movie that came out in 2017…. Watch that one, If you plan on watching the new one coming out in a few weeks… And make sure to pick up on the underlying themes

  14. That lady shouldn't say Africans, because as a South African I'm Black where ever I go and I will always Identify with my people. However the same African immigrants usually join the White folks even here in South Africa.

  15. Let's strive and go hard for each other all over the diaspora and whoever read my comments let's spread this message to all black people of the diaspora. UNITY UNITY UNITY LET'S UNITE AS A PEOPLE. WE ARE THE BLUE PRINT. WE ARE GREAT SO LETS UNITE AS 1 AND BECOME GREATER THAN THOSE WHO HAVE HARMED US. WE SHALL RISE. WE SHALL RISE. I WANT TO BE FREE AT LAST. DON'T I BLACK PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD. LET'S UNITE FOR A BRIGHTER TOMORROW, A BRIGHTER FUTURE, AND A HAPPIER LIFE.

  16. Think.. remember how when u were a kid and while playing with friends, how we used to recognize what each of us were good at and we would take on those roles in games we would play when it was a bunch of kids. We need our own place to thrive black only. Our children should be discovering their gifts early on and developing them as they grow. So by the time they are young adults they can share their gifts for the betterment of the black community. Yeah brother Phil, we all need to come together every black person in the diaspora and set aside these foolish things that are not helping us or progressing us. We got to rally together and go planet of the greats (like the apes did on the movie planet of the apes).

  17. Brother Phil u r right we have to all unite as one. You know how the bees and ants operate as a unit and each bee uses their gift for the growth of the whole colony. I believe that is what God wants us to do as his children. To share our gifts amongst ourselves and the gifts he has given us to use for us to grow and work together as 1. We can't let our differences be our detriment. Our differences is what makes us unique and is what God gave us to share amongst each other and to grow together. Like our bodies each part of our bodies work together so that we can function. We have to remember, we must unite and use the greatness in each of us to grow a strong foundation for all of us and the future of us.

  18. Africans coming here dont have a chip on their shoulders like black americans do. They see how terrible the black act and live and want Nothing to do with you people! They, like the white Americans, dont relate to black,Americans. White Americans would trade our blacks with real africans in a heart-beat. 😊

  19. They feel this way because FBA don't have Power, but I Guarantee you that FBA Reparations they will come over here talking about, Hey !!! FBA we are your Brother and sister

  20. If we FBA where to follow these immigrants we FBA would be Colonized all over the world but we FBA are the only ones fighting the white supremacists and the black immigrants are Jealous, these Africans and Carribeeans are Buck Broken
