Hati13: Did you even watch the video? I never said they were in the same family. I just pointed out the similarities. Also Japanese does not belong to a "super family" because it's a language isolate. It's not related to any East Asian language. |

Hey guys. I've always noticed that Japanese and African languages sounded very similar. I put this video together discussing it because I've always found it very interesting. Let me know your thoughts please! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCe8ECDU2IldN_rAAAXUvyUQ |
Culture / Video Series About Cities Built By Africans Before European Contact. by Kanoro: 12:27am On Nov 14, 2016 |
Hello guys! If you've seen my other posts before. I'm an American who has a passion for African history. It's largely ignored and most people think that our ancestors have no significance to history other than primitive tribes who lived in straw huts that were sold into slavery. I create many videos to tackle those views and I recently started a video series about cities built by Africans. I just finished part III 2 days ago. Please check out my videos. Comment, like, subscribe etc! Part I: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-pZTI9UWPg Part II: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AmcWj_uCPfY Part III: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePT-mXtWQyo |

Hello everyone. I started a series on my YouTube channel that provides beautiful pictures, animation, and narratives about pre-colonial African cities. Don't be mislead by the title. It is only there for click bait. Please comment and tell me what you think and like/subscribe if you enjoy it. Thanks!

Culture / Were Africans Too Primitive To Build Cities In The Past? by Kanoro: 9:38am On Oct 17, 2016 |
There is this common misconception that Africa south of the Sahara never developed anything more substantial than hunter-gatherer societies and small farming villages composed of scattered straw huts and tribal cultures. Even as a black American, these misconceptions really hurt me. This video series will tackle those views head on. Don't be mislead by the title or the thumbnail. It's just click bait (and sadly what many people actually believe). Please subscribe if you like!

Culture / Africa Needs More Presence In Movies, Shows, And Games by Kanoro: 3:16pm On Oct 24, 2015 |
I think Nollywood does nothing but damage the appreciation of African culture and history. They don't care about the quality of their films. The acting and screenplay is always terrible. I could do a better job from my own house and I'm just a regular guy. All they care about is mass producing films for profit. Hollywood on the other hand does a great job with it's films but it completely ignores African history altogether. Disney for example has been running for 92 years and it encompasses just about every culture aside from Africa: Native American: Pocahontas Asian: Mulan Middleeastern: Aladdin European: Too many to f*cking name Africa: Lion King and Tarzan... HOWEVER those 2 movies aren't ABOUT Africa. They simply take place IN Africa with little to no cultural or historical elements of Africa or it's people. I am starting a recurring YouTube series called "From Nothing" which will be a fantasy/thriller stopmotion. I don't expect it to be the next Lord of the Rings or Game of Thrones but I'm hoping I can at least gain some popularity so I can give our history and culture some momentum in the mainstream. My series will be based on historical facts as well as legends and mythology on a mythical continent known as Otiile. Here is my first episode. Feedback and support would be greatly appreciated. Thank you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JSOVIfBC2P0 |

Radoillo: Well I'm not offended or anything, just confused. Like can you be a bit more specific? I'm not really following you. If anything, I think I'm actually lacking detail and intricacy, like the design on the chest bell for example. And some of the other objects on the armor. I didn't want to risk interpreting them incorrectly. |

Culture / Re: It Has Arrived! An Animation Based On Pre-colonial African Kingdoms! by Kanoro: 9:51pm On Oct 17, 2015 |
tpiander: Because it is fiction. Many games and movies do the same thing. They take real cultural elements and historical events and incorporate them into a fictional setting. Take this for example. Every place on this map is based on a real place: http://nintendokusou.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/gsmap3.jpg Also to be honest I somewhat agree with her. You've done nothing but criticize me. You are criticizing my map and doubting that I'm American and you didn't even watch the video before doing either of those things. This post had one goal and one goal only, promoting my video. |
