IDENTITY: Do you identify yourself as African or British

LET'S REASON TOGETHER TOUR - LONDON
Africkswag has embarked on a UK City Tour which will consist of Vox Pops, asking questions about issues affecting young Africans within the community. By the end of this tour, we hope to have corrected some negative perceptions about Africa and Africans in general.
For London,we chose the topic of identity and wanted to find out whether young Africans see themselves as British or African.

    I identify as Kenyan, East African. Although I was born and raised in London, (so I’m environmentally British but I’m culturally Kenyan) my parents brought me up with an African mentality. Also, regular visits to Kenya have helped to shape my thinking and allowed me to embrace my heritage.

Like you I would say that I am environmentally British too.

    Uhh you do know race isn’t biological. And the notion that DNA determines race is laughable because it’s extremely small. In reality race is an extreme social phenomenon. That means the practices you do on a daily basis and how you act and speak is determined by we’re you grew up. Basically I’m saying you can’t really say you identify as African if you don’t actually live by the culture standards of certain part of Africa you claim to be apart. Because remember race is not biological and is just cultural.

    The real test is whether Africans would see you as African or British. In fact there is your first difficulty there, is there even such a thing as an African identity? There are 54 African countries and there are big differences between the cultures of various African countries. Even in sub-Saharan African, many would identify with tribal identity, not there national identity. I would call myself European but I am English, so how much would I really have in common with someone from Italy or Belgium? The other big problem, is if you'er a 2nd or 3rd generation and you still don't identify with the country you are born in. There is little hope for racial integration. You don't have a nation, you have a bunch of separate communities living parallel lives. The real test for migration is for separate identities to melt away, it is what has always happened in the past.

    Superb. In regard to your second paragraph - Douglas Murray had described the ‘yo-yo effect’ (in his book The Strange Death of Europe), in which the first generation immigrants are grateful to be in the country and are respectful, but the second, third (and so on) generations hate the country and fail to integrate. This is evident in Pakistani communities, where they have been here for generations, but yet, have the Pakistani-English accent. What is culture? It is a broad question. It is the way we eat, dress, talk, our etiquette, music, a shared set of values, heritage, material traditions, and outlook on life that comes down to us through a shared history and understanding of our surroundings. In which case, these people are correct to not identify themselves as ‘British’.

    Most countries are already like that where you have separate parallel communities so don't understand what you're on about. Also as a white European you have to ask yourself why people of color tend to have this mentality that they're not of the nation they were born and raised in, much of it has to do with not being fully accepted so good luck getting people to then identity with the nation.

Transatlantic slave-trade and Windrush which were both nothing more than abusing a vulnerable people like a cheap commodity. Surely you, like me, would like nothing more than the African people to unite and strive together independently of the European and Middle Eastern people, and finally build the authentic African paradise you must surely be yearning for.

Many US Black Americans are traveling more. Some have acquired an African Passport, due to DNA results, NOT because of having African Parents, African Grandparents etc. I'm 100% sure that if Black Americans found themselves in trouble in a Country outside the US, they'll contact the US Embassy vs the Embassy for which African Passport they have. I guess where one spends the most time. Not such much of what Heritage/Culture one feels.

    @cyberangel Well yeah slavery helped every nation in earth. Should the Egyptians have all their credit of their history go the Jews because they were their slaves? The Greeks can’t be credited for things like Phonecia or Rome because they were also slaves yet Roman culture prospered before this and after. This narrative that whatever nation has to used slavery has to secede its history is dumb.

They mostly enslaved their prisoners of war. It’s most likely they were Hyksos they defeated. story was exaggerated. The Jews weren’t even Jews back then then. The were just Hebrews. Jew came from Judah long after the Kingdom of Israel split in two. 2. Phoenicia existed long before Greece. Phoenicians were maritime traders and merchants. 3. Greeks didn’t have a proper alphabet before the Phoenicians introduced it. It was just Linear B. By the time the militaristic Romans came along, Phoenicia as an independent entity was long gone.

    That's because the majority of the Black British are 1st or 2nd Generation British. It doesn't go any further than that. US Black Americans (the majority) are over 400+years removed from Africa. Even through DNA tests, US Black Americans' ancestry is very mixed-up. Whereas Black British DNA is pretty much all from Africa. Unless the person has 1 White British Parent and 1 Black African Parent (that migrated from Africa). Even the DNA is very straightforward, in those cases. My Ancestors made sure the stories were passed down, as much as they could. However, there was a lot of mixing with Whites (forcefully). So our bloodline is definitely NOT "pure" like the Black British.

    I don't get the hateful comments. I identify more with my Nigerian side as I was born and lived most of my life in Nigeria. For me to say I identify more with my British side is a big fat lie, even though my dad is English! As for those that were born and grew up in the UK but find themselves identifying more with their African side, it's not abnormal or disrespectful to the country their parents moved to and raised them in, as some have suggested. If they had white adoptive parents I'm pretty sure they would grow up to identify more with the culture and lifestyle of their white adoptive parents. You can't knock someone's life experiences and choices when you have no idea how they may have lived, or even want to understand how they may have lived. Imagine coming from a typical African home, and living like an African, coming on camera to say you identify more with your British side, lol. You will appear silly to all the people that know you better.Stay real!

You see one video of these people... do u know how often they wear weave ? If it’s their first time ? If they wear their natural hair most times ? If they’re wearing a wig because of a medical condition ? Stop forcing opinions on what makes people black enough on everyone. Think I need to post this comment on its own too since people seem to have this view too often.
