I hope from now on some Americans will know that Africa is not a country but a continent
One can only hope..
I don't think so...😂😂😂
I hope Africans will know that America is not a country, but two continents. However, the United States is a country.
@@McQueenPress worry not they do already
@McQueenPress Oh we know. The question is, do US residents know?
Africans smell??!! When I was at Uni in the UK I shared a bathroom with about 5 or 6 mostly British students. I took a shower every single day but was horrified to learn that the Brits showered once a week on average. 😱
This is very true
I am appreciating more foreigners from more developed countries coming to S.A and the rest of Africa.. Coming here with an open mind to learn and experience new things and cultures Keep up the amazing work guys
In future I hope you guys get invited to film the different types of ceremonies and weddings in Africa and get the in depth experience ♥️🇿🇦
I love your channel. I'm South African, living in the Sandton burrough. I share your videos with my Australian grandchildren. They've never been to Africa/South Africa.
Thank you, family. Your videos are always on point. Thanks for dispelling some of the myths about Africa. Love it ❤🎉😊
Thanks for watching
I like the way, you explains to AA about Africa very detailed. Much love from SA 🇿🇦
Thank you
I love my country! 🇿🇦 ❤
Haaaa they are here to take it from you these spies
I love my country good or bad and i love you 2 my fellow countryman.
As a Mozambican, I concur! Look at me commenting on youtube from my iOS device, in your language (my second), straight from the motherland 😉! Great content! 🇲🇿
I often find that young Africans are under a lot of pressure to succeed. They are made very aware that there parents worked very hard to provide them with better opportunities and that they would be ungrateful if they don't succeed. Sometimes the level of pressure to succeed is possibly just a bit to much.
That is very true
No lie detected!!!
Yall have something in common with East Asians then. They have the same academic pressures.
Very correct on Africans' perception of wealth and riches. We are inherently communally oriented hence individualistic accumulation of wealth ain't lifetime goal for many. Everybody is everyone's social safety net and in that set up, people are content with the basics they have. Anything extra apart from a roof over their head, enough food, clothing and tightnit community is just an extra! With capitalism and money economy though, you'll find individualistic accimulation of riches but in the long run, the concerned parties will always say "I'm doing it for my community"!
YES! First to comment!! Love watching your content. I'd love to meet you guys in person next time you're in Cape Town. Holler @ ya booi! ;-)
Thank you for this! The lack of knowledge is tiring sometimes so making videos like this is exactly what’s needed. 👏👏👏👏 well done guys!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for this.
This post is funny and entertaining. You are very positive minded people and put out fair and honest content. GOD bless you.
I just saw your channel for the first time today. I first watched the SA schools war cries and this is my second video. Very beautiful to watch. Love from Zimbabwe 🇿🇼 🇧🇼
Thanks for watching
Love this!!!
Thank you for brining these information forth. Really appreciate it alot. The masses need to know the truth
Thanks for watching
Thanks so much for this guys your channel has actually educated me and my family a lot more about other African countries and I’m way less ignorant, prejudice is everywhere and as a South African I’m learning alot, hope to run into you guys again and not be so star struck as I was😅
Glad we were able to help you family and are you the one we met at Woolworths?😂
Oksalayo Black South Africans will rot in those apartheid-made human zoos called townships. SA being taken from you, while you cheer people who are here, to survive on the little opportunities meant to take you out of poverty. South Africans are lazy and stoopid indeed.
We love you. Thanks for always being honest.
Always!
Thanks, for the videos, they're educational in a way. I learn a lot from these videos
Richest man in the world from South Africa
Wow this was eye opening and in depth analysis done thoroughly to debunk what is perceived by western societies when thinking of Africa, we are being denied growth as the Black family in realising how Royal and esteemed we are if only we could nurture and embrace that consciousness
Very nice and informative clip, please keep it up.
Love this, thanks a lot
Thank you
Very detailed and picked on some very good misconceptions that needed some educational correction. Thank you for these types of videos.
Thank you for watching
Well done guys ❤ this is good.
Thank you
Thank you!. Tell them!
every second car you see is a Merc or BMW
Interesting........😂😂😂 The people smell part just got me, natural scent😂😂😂😂........ Thanks for the enlightenment.
Really loving your content❤️ literally watching all your videos 😂
Yay! Thank you!
Man you guys fitting right in. Please visit Durban City next, I think you'll see some big differences.
That was really a cool video,thankyou.
Glad you enjoyed it
Thank you for making this video! I only wish you had called out specific countries by name because just using "Africa" a lot feeds into the same narrative that you've been fighting against. But that's no big deal overall. You're doing a good service because some people would not listen to me (they might call me "uppity" or make fun of my accent), might listen to YOU because you sound like them. Peace and love from Nigeria, USA, and now Colombia! 👋
Enjoy your stay in Africa. I have watched a couple of your content and you guys are amazing.
Thank you
Another good video fam.
Appreciate it
Thank you for this. We appreciate our African American Brothers and Sisters. When we were going through Apartheid yall were out there fighting the fight too. We salute you! Come to Africa, come to South Africa.
Spot on
Informative and educational
Thank you
Nice content ❤
Thank you! 😊
God Bless! 🇰🇪
Well said! When I visited the USA in the early nineties, I was shocked how uninformed they were. Now, I am generalizing, but most of the ordinary people I bumped into did not even have an idea where South Africa was. The best answer I got, was that it was on the tip of South America!
😳🙄😂😂😂
I love u guys. ❤ From South Africa
We love you guys too
Keep up the good work
Thanks, will do!
Yes it is! 😊
5:12 pot calling the kettle black type situation smh.
Hello...Hello I just came across your KZhead channel and I'm still watching in between videos 😅
Welcome
Well said another great vlog today 👊🏿👊🏿👊🏿 and you guys are right I'm from the states and I'm super poor 😊
Thank you.
You're welcome!
❤❤❤ you family
I'm born and raised South African and the first time I saw riot police was in the US before a Red Sox vs Yankees game 😂
True
We Americans should return to our homeland and all be the same👊🏾♥️
Great video. Y'all touched on all the misconceptions African Americans have about Africa. And those things are just not true. That's why it's so important to travel outside of the US. Because the US is not showing us a clear picture of the countries in Africa. I did not realize how the US commercials showed Africa on TV with babies that are hungry and never said what country they were in. It made you think that all of the babies on the African continent were hungry. And that's just not true. Every country has its poverty, including the US. Thanks for this video. I have forwarded it on to friends.
Everyday how i wish i could run into you guys.❤
You might
@@FREEDOMCHASERSLIFE next time when you do a video talk about the difference between SA and USA and how here we might be corrupt but its a financial greed but no ideologies unlike in the states you'd have people who have money and try to influence judiciary and overturning laws that affect real people just because oppression makes them feel big
Danko. ❤ thank you from mzansi...Love ❤ how you gell together. All is true. Joburg is a version of the ethnicity that we have in the City. I'm Swati by Mom and Shangani/Mozambique by father, born in SA 10! October baby ❤.... It was my birthday 🎉 yesterday. Truly love your content. Pretty much True Love you guys❤❤❤❤✌🏿✌🏿✌🏿💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽.
I've always been a lover of the US music culture of expression and music. I have a couple of friends that's been to Denver... Houston... American black culture is ✌🏿✌🏿😮 Love having you in the City of Getting Gold.. ❤❤😂😂😂🎉🎉
Take time & come and visit Eswatini. It's a paradise & has one of the most friendly people in the world.
I'm Kenyan and if I had money, I would so visit Eswatini and Namibia
They don't want you to come home this is your home we love you to the bits you will never run dry here❤️🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
Thanks for sharing I am shocked how they think and treat Africans yet we are same,no matter you are American, Asian, European or African we both undergo birth,we live and we die.
I love this video guys 🔥🔥🔥 but it seems after the "backlash" you received from ignorant people for that video where you choose S.A your energy levels have dropped and that's not fair to us your loyal fans we want to see you happy and energetic. We love you and we understand your intentions for making these videos so please bring back that energy guys
Great content here. I wish you have a conversation with African professionals in international NGOs and the misconceptions the white colleagues have about African colleagues. It is irrirating but I am ready to give an interview.
I didn't know we smell😂😂😂😂😅😅😅
A little more open minded, Absolutely!
Watching from Uganda...
Thanks for watching
Kaale nyabo ne sebo
Same as Haiti.
Africa is so big that even Africans experience culture shock when they visit other African countries, Africa is so big that languages across south, north, east, west arent similiar! Africa is so big that when other africans visit other countries they cant bear the weather of that country
Very good! How I wish this kind of video can be shown to American grade school or high school students. Or will Governor Desantis accuse me of trying to spread "critical race theory" to kids?
You can use it in class just connect to YT. A perspective of real people who has traveled in Africa
Nice depiction
Thank you
Don't be fooled, South Africans live on credit as well! A lot of people are hugely in debt. On the topic of corruption. Yes, corruption is everywhere, but in Africa (South Africa) its in-your-face, we live with the negative effects of corruption everyday. Money is stolen from hospitals, pensions, etc.
Yoohhh plz dont start, don't u get tired for being negative nd toxic? Thers time and place for every topic nd this moment is just not it..,.yoh
🤔
@@thembi9645 haha din't mean to seem negative. Just realistic.
@@Steve-by4uf u are still missing then point, u are just rushing to comment. All these things are covered on mainstream so go thre not here.
@@thembi9645 the point is that these are 2 out of the 7 misconceptions about Africans that are actually not misconceptions.
South Africans also need to stop with the misconceptions about the rest of Africa! I live out of the continent and met a lot of other Africans and they aren’t any different from us..We might have different cultures but they are generally like everyone else!
Agreed🇿🇦🇿🇦
Very true. South Africans also have misconceptions about other african countries. Talking about if we use donkeys to travel, like what? Are you serious? At this day and age really?
@@snaymncinah3324 😂😂😂, we have people who use donkeys to travel in South Africa in the villages, don't be ashamed if the same is happening bin your villages
@@mbusosiera1648 logic here. I come to a private school in SA,I speak really good english, even better than yours(not you but the person asking), then you ask me if I use a donkey to travel? Those kinda questions are for low IQ'd or better yet illiterate people, of which that's exactly what I got when I over performed in class🤦🏽♀️... a humble person would have asked me politely if people still use donkeys in my country, not these lame ass jokes...assuming I'm using a damn donkey,seriously though.
😂😂😂😂😂
Americans had the internet before anyone else. Most African Americans just don't want to research about Africa. How you don't want to know about where you come from no matter how bad it is is really unAfrican. White Americans know about Europe. Best believe
7:45 well the corruption is too much here. That cannot be defended.
Yoh! Thank you for this, but as an African, my opinion compared to say Europe, we are waaay more overt about our corruption, BUT, I appreciate the nuance with which you present it here. There's corruption everywhere.
Another misconception, maybe only in some white circles, is that it is not safe for white South Africans to travel through Africa. Many do without any problems. As for your experience in Kenya, a friend who is working there always say the people are amazing. Natural smell is one thing, my son after hockey practice is bad. Thank you for sharing!
Lots of white South Africans work in Nigeria, especially in the oil and gas industry. They are mainly into underwater diving.
@@ekinematics Thank you. I would love to visit different countries on the continent, maybe one day. My father was born in Kenya as a British subject, white but not good enough to be a B citizen. My mother was born in SA but grew up in Tanzania. This makes me African despite my lily white ass🤣
We want African Americans to come and live in South Africa.
You guys were here? 😮Wow
Another great video as always! Maybe the misconceptions Black Americans have about Africa stems from being privileged! I mean an ordinary Black American in the US is more privileged than an ordinary black African in any African country! For example ,We have situations where people just disappear off into the bushes or the grass,dug pits on the ground or a hole near running stream for sanitation purposes While in the US majority of Black Americans have flushable toilets for basic sanitation
I disagree about "privilege." Black Americans have established centuries of hard labor, suffering, and sacrifice for what they have even as the majority of their wealth was either taken and provided to others who didn't work for it or destroyed.
I particularly loved your video about Johannesburg. I sent it to my Australian grandkids, 18, 21, 22. Also to my Durban son. Ignore backlash. Don't change anything and especially because of it. Ddon't pander to the naysayers.
Thank you
If you like rugby try skoolboy rugby its somthing els
Corruption is the US is called lobbying 😅
😂😂
I think you meant Africa is a (continent) at 3:49 time stamp.😊
She meant Americans assume Africa is a country
Let's speak of the " stay away from the akata!" Groups!
No offense, but as an African American, I never been around any other African American who think this way. I’m curious to know where you two are from in the US. Generalizing all AA in thinking this way only perpetuate this narrative. Maybe stating “What some misconception AA have of Africa,” is a more appropriate title. Let’s continue to educate and spread love!
2021 in Miami and almost every black person asking about Treehouses - and I was like what is that ? ...
I watched Wendy Williams show one time and she was speaking about Prince William's visit and possible relocation to Africa. The amount of ignorant nonsense she was saying was crazy and her audience was laughing and clapping. This video indicates most of the dumb BS I saw her pushing about the continent in her show. There's a lot of AA in YT who talks about these things. They aren't thumb sucking these things, Sista I appreciate the amount of time they take to educate our AA family and correct all false narratives
@@tsilisomotaung9146 First, Wendy Williams is not a reliable source to validate your hypothesis . She is an entertainer, that is all. Second, America is big. Depending on the region it can shape your views regarding these misconceptions. I and those who I was around never spoke of such ignorance. The theory of expressing such misconceptions can be conveyed in a way of just educating, not labeling. These content creators cannot speak for the entire race nor can you off of one entertainer. The purpose of education is to inform and bring forth new perspectives. Feeding into stupid narratives is crazy. A “misconception” of Africans in my area is that Africans who come to the US are rich. There students will outwork us and so forth. Overall, this is my reality. Hope it’s helpful.
Average salary in Africa is 769 dollars a month. Think about that for a second. That's not even the median...
Which African country is your favourite?
🤔🤔
I thought there were still many indigenous Americans living in the U.S was I being lied to? But who lives on the reservations then?
"Africans smell" is wild😂 do Americans smell like roses or something? I need more clarification
Nope 😂😂
That’s interesting coz a European American 🇺🇸 once told me that African Americans have a bad smell and they need to work on they’re hygiene 🪥
Elon Musk is South African
Not bad. Was a little surprised myself to see cities in Tanzania like what we have here is SA. Although yea it's true. We are educated... enough so to realize when you make silly statements like "stole our ancestors"... well sure I don't doubt some were indeed stolen... but in general and by a massive majority, slaves were bought from other Africans tribal leaders who enslaved the people from the other waring tribes. After all, it's not called a slave "trade" for nothing. Also, yea the whole thing about smell... well stink is after all a word to describe a smell that is not pleasant to the senses... so if something or someone stinks... well, they stink. That however is not something that is relevant to Africans only. Anyone can stink. But in truth the people who stink are generally those who either are too impoverished to be able to bath and wash clothes and buy deodorant, or those who just don't practice good hygiene. So don't be so offended.
😂😂😂 Kenya, Kenya, Kenya 😂😂..
😂😂
...and their degrees mean NOTHING here!!!!
One must wash regardless of culture
I hate to be that guy but, contrary to popular belief about "being stolen", Africans sold each other as slaves like after winning a war, you'd sell the captives. Slavery was the biggest trade in Africa several centuries ago and Africa was actually at per with the world economically. Then industrial machines happened and the slave labor wasn't needed as much. Without any other relevant business to fall back on, the entire place started lagging behind. Its a whole untold side of history, with tons of literature on it.
Shh! The wrong people will come ❤ the kind that like to take over LOL
We were told that black Americans hated Afrixans and that they kill Africans too. But it was all a lie due to my own experience traveling 😏
Wow
Lol! I find it so funny that you guys think or have been told (even experienced ) we hate you because we think you hate us and are averse to Africans. I think most Africans don't hate you guys, we are just tired of the ignorance and the attitude that flows from that ignorance. So videos like this will go far in educating everyone.
We hope more black Americans come back home
Common quiz, is there McDonald's in Africa? Funny but stupid question. Mainstream Media steer pp a certain way for years and even today. Learn for yourself and make own judgement
McDonalds it everywhere.
1. It is not incorrect calling a continent a country which is consisted of countries within its shores just to keep it in perspective. 2. There's no shortage of misconceptions between African Americans and continental Africans perpetrated through propaganda and ignorance.
