Top Comments of this video!! :3
Thank you for sharing. As a black American I have educated myself about the continent of Africa and I have learned so much in my studies over the YEARS. Including what has been shared in your video.
I feel that for black Americans to gain a sense of identity we at times disregard the vastness of Africa. We treat Africa as one big country and not continent, and as one big racial group. We should never belittle or disregard others, their history and who they are in order for us to gain an identity. Africa existed waaaay before slavery and Africa had civilization, culture and medieval kindoms prior foreiners touching the continent. Yes, you can find some groups that have mixed with outside influences due to trading or later due to colonization. But there are just as many that have particular features due to their regional location. Similar to Asia and Europe regional differences that reflects in features, food, language and music.
We acknoledge the diversity of Asia but will get mad if you highlight the diversity of Africa.

The black Americans don't even know where exactly they come from and want to separate us. I am from Morocco and the amazigh people live for thousands of years in Africa. We have always good relationship with the black Africans,we can learn a lot from our history, like the history of the city of Timbuktu.

A couple flaws with this video. 1. You claimed “Afrocentric” africamericans are making negative comments towards non black Africans and you’re using Afrocentric in a negative way. That’s not what afrocentricity. Afrocentric simply means one who’s pro African such as Malcolm x or kwame Nkrumah. One who uses their race to spurt negative narratives is a supramicst and not a centrist. 2. There’s only one race indigenous to Africa, black or negroid. (technically 2 but amazighs don’t fall under one race and can be black such as the sanahaja, Tuareg, Zenega, and hartine but even with fair skin they can’t be white bc they’re not from Europe) 3. Capoids of South Africans is a subgenre of negorid. Separating lighter skinned South Africans from the rest of black Africans was a racist tactic used by white Afrikaans to divide and conquer the Khoi and the San from Bantu peoples. Also, north and East African afroasiatics are not caucasoids. They’re negroid. Caucasoids are whites from Europe. Racist whites claimed that north and East Africans were Caucasians in the 1800’s to fit the Nazi Aryan ideology that claimed Indians, Iranians, east and North Africans, etc are Caucasian due to their extensive history and beauty. 4. Cushitic people don’t have caucasoid features as these features are indigneous to east Africa and not the caucus or Europe.

The American Africans who make those claims about North Africa are not necessarily Afrocentric. Afrocentrism is being used as a catchall term for blacks who have different opinions, some of which are deemed erroneous by the mainstream. Also there are no such groups as Negroid, Caucasoid, or Mongloid. Saying that the supposed Cushites have "caucasian" features is laughable. In all honestly, the Eurasians have "Cushitic" features.
