Always wanted to hear this conversation, but without a black American woman there you're missing a significant perspective. The impact of American slavery and everything else (systemic racism, welfare system, etc) on the black American woman is profound.
-
We need a African parents vs American parents episode, the chaos that would happen would be insane
-
My girlfriend spent 5 years of her life in prison for a crime she didn’t commit. She’s the sweetest most tender hearted person I know and even tho she has been home for years it still affects her every day. The criminal just systematically targets us and throws us away
-
I'm DEFINITELYYYY gonna need to come back & rewatch this because everyone's mind is evolving my own perception of society. I JUST LOVE SEEING STRONG, EDUCATED BLACK FOLK SPEAKING TRUTH !!!!!
-
I appreciate that Elizabeth acknowledged that many Africans see African Americans as just complaining, but realized the nuances that exist on both sides. That was great to hear.
-
Africans went through colonization and African Americans went through slavery. We all have different but some what similar histories. Also this group seem so intelligent and respectful.
-
The comment about stock appreciation was the best explanation of the generational wealth gap ive ever heard. Very great job with breaking that down. Politicians that are paid to "care" about these topics havent come up with a better statement than that on the subject.
-
We need more conversations like this. Everyone speaking with respect & understanding. I love it 🖤🖤🖤
-
“But it’s still nothing compared to…” “I wouldn’t want to minimize that pain, what you just said hurt me…” I teared up. That’s how it should be nowadays. Instead of people putting down other marginalized groups history and gaslighting them with “well that was a long time ago” or “stop playing victim”
-
A conversation all black people will appreciate and have waited for
-
This was very refreshing to watch. I'm happy to see progress in the unity of people of the diaspora. We must continue this conversation to know better and do better, my people
-
love seeing intellectual conversations like this. great episode!
-
It is so refreshing to see an actual dialogue with no screaming, yelling, name-calling, or cutting people off mid-sentence. I loved the mutual respect!
-
As an African I appreciate the efforts of African Americans for fighting for the betterment of all black people in America. Without that fight us Africans would not be benefiting from these benefits.
-
Not African or African American, but I am a First Gen Black (Caribbean) American. One thing I love about this conversation is that I relate to both camps, being perceived as and treated as an African American by society and having ingrained responsibility to pursue the American Dream to better support my family. This conversation gave me a lot to personally think about, this was a fantastic episode!
-
I think the conversation was beautiful from cousins to cousins, understanding each others walk by sharing our shoes, bring us closer together and expand our respect-one-to-The-other ❤
-
Freedom isn't just physical. It's also mental. You can be physically free and mentally enslaved to an ideology or something you have been through
-
As Africans, we experience a very deep level of discrimination where there are divides amongst the people. There's a quote that says, "When brothers fight each other, outsiders inherit their property." And that is exactly what happens.
-
This was a fantastic discussion i really enjoy seeing this. Thought there was going to go be some arguing or something I'm really glad to see them have a mature and understanding conversation this was truly black and beautiful
-
I agree with Prosper and Elizabeth love what they were saying.💜
