There's this thing called African diaspora you don't know what that is it's a worldwide
collection of communities descended from native Africans that exist outside of Africa now they
have this for other races and cultures but today we are looking at the African diaspora diaspora
is a fancy term for just living outside your cultural or racial Homeland to put it plainly
we're doing the blackest countries outside of Africa this is a video that's been requested
by a few subscribers ever since we started doing our series on the different races I
didn't know this till recently but we have a good size audience in Africa Zanzibar to
be exact that's in Tanzania I was watching a video by a YouTuber named Drew binsky and he
was in Zanzibar interesting fact about there I did not know this Freddie Mercury was born
and raised in Zanzibar in a neighborhood called Stone town anyway so I got an email from azanzibar
local named Ibrahim he said he and a lot of his friends plan on getting out of Tanzania when
they get out of school it'd be nice to know where there are other Africans or black people he also
seems to think that if I give him a shout out it'll help him get a girlfriend I'm not
sure how but he seems to think it'll work so good luck Ibrahim today we're looking at the countries
with the largest black populations outside of Africa got it get it good let's take a look
number 10 Mexico I never would have thought this one would show up on this list don't
know why I've been to Mexico many times and the only African-American or black people
I've ever seen there were African people are tourists just enjoying the beaches I've never
actually seen any living there that's just me I haven't you know gone door to door and
checked out the whole country but that's just my experience from visiting Mexico
a majority of the black residents in Mexico you will find at the southern and down near
Puebla Veracruz and Guerrero Mexico has a population of 126 million residents with
1.4 being of African descent or just black however you want to look at it
number nine the United Kingdom yeah this one doesn't surprise me at all
black British people are a multi-ethnic group of British citizens of either African
or afro-caribbean descent now they're sort of the same thing they're different
don't give me a hard time we're talking about where their descendants come from
and afro-caribbean's descendants come from Africa the United Kingdom has a population
of just over 67 million residents with 2.5 being African or afro-caribbean the majority
of the black population in the United Kingdom lives around the London area
number eight Jamaica this should be no surprise to anyone especially if you've ever been to Jamaica
or I don't know watched a Bob Marley video if you actually look at the demographics of Jamaica and
not I don't know the demographics of a Bob Marley video you would find out that 92.1 of the Jamaican
population is either black or black mixed Jamaica is a beautiful island the people are great now if
you go there's a tourist let's say to Resort right outside the resort you're not gonna find
it to be anything but people trying to scam you but if you get past all that garbage and actually
into the country they got some amazing places and amazing people yeah definitely don't judge
Jamaica by what's going on right outside of a resort the population of Jamaica is estimated
to be right around 3 million residents with 2.8 million being African or afro-caribbean where
you'll find the most black or African residents in Jamaica is the entire island of Jamaica
number seven Venezuela this one's not really a surprise I've been to Venezuela and yeah I
could definitely see this one making the top ten in Venezuela they are called afro-venezuelans and
like so many places they didn't come to Venezuela willingly between 1576 and 1810 about 100
000 African slaves were transported across the Atlantic to Venezuela via the transatlantic slave
trade the different African and afro-caribbean communities you're gonna find those in Caracas
and the surrounding area and then down towards the western side of the country
like between Marita and San Cristobal that's where you'll find a whole bunch more Venezuela
has a population of about 28 million residents with 3.2 million being African or afro-caribbean
number six France this one I was little surprised at obviously you're going to find
more with a higher ratio than places like France but they definitely have a good sized community
and a lot of that has to do with obviously the slave trade played a big part of that back in
the day and then of course when they had all their colonies and stuff a lot of them were
in Africa at one point they owned about a third of Africa most of the northwest of Africa had a
lot to do with the French in the 1950s Morocco gained independence along with Algeria then in
the 1960s Senegal Cameroon the Congo and Madagascar all became independent and the
last one was Djibouti and that was in 1977 so it wasn't that long ago that France played a
big role in Africa France has a population of about 68 million residents with an African or
black population of 3.8 million the largest communities you'll find in Lyon and Paris
number five Colombia Colombia shares a lot of the same history that Venezuela
does when it comes to their afro-columbian and afro-caribbean population back in the
early 1500s African slaves from Cameroon Nigeria Ghana and the Congo showed up in
Colombia Colombia was having a problem their ranches and their plantations and their gold
mines had been worked by the local indigenous population but they were becoming scarce so
in the early 1500s they were in need of some new forced labor these days you'll find large
African communities in Medellin Bogota Cali basically all the big cities Colombia has a
population of about 52 million residents and of that 4.9 are of African descent
number four the Dominican Republic if you didn't know that the Dr would show up on
this list you need to take a world geography class and a social geography class while you're
at it I actually think everyone should take those classes I took quite a few when I was
in college afro Dominicans showed up in the Dominican Republic back when it was
called Santo Domingo and it really wasn't long after Columbus actually landed around
here he obviously showed up around 1492 and they started bringing slaves just like Venezuela and
Colombia into Santo Domingo around 1525. one thing leads to another and you have a large
afro Dominican population the Dominican Republic these days has a population of about 11 million
residents a little bit over and of that 9.2 million are afro Dominicans or of African
descent however you want to call it and where you'll find most of these the entire country
number three Haiti yep the Dominican Republic's next door neighbor Haiti where they're both on
the same island of Hispaniola pretty much everything I just said about the Dominican
Republic goes for Haiti other than the name of the place and the numbers if you're thinking
about visiting Haiti don't this is like the number one place to get kidnapped on the
planet I mentioned that in a video probably like six months ago we did a whole thing on
where you get kidnapped and all that Haiti was number one there were people that actually tried
to dispute that there were people in that chat claiming to be from Haiti and suggesting nobody
shows up there because it's dangerous you go to Haiti there's only a few things that are
gonna happen someone's gonna steal all your stuff someone's gonna steal you and demand money another
earthquake may happen or they'll get hit by a hurricane while you're there but a lot of the
citizens in Haiti can trace their Heritage back to Angola Sierra Leone Senegal Nigeria Cameroon
and Ghana Haiti has a population of a little over 11 million residents with 10.1 being afro Haitian
number two the United States of America or the United States how do you say it do you throw
the America on there or you just say the United States it's one of those things on the internet
if you just call the United States someone's gonna correct you it's the United States of
America and if you say the United States America people yell why do you say that why don't you say
United States it's strange just goes to show you no matter what you do on the internet someone's
gonna have a problem with it if you live in the United States and went to one of our fine
learning establishments you already know that the African Americans showed up here unwillingly yes
they were part of the transatlantic slave trade that was the old days in the early
20th century more and more Africans made their way to the United States willingly settled in
communities all across the United States bought homes raised kids you know live in the American
dream the United States has a population of about 332 million residents of that almost 56 million
are black or African-American and if you don't already know a majority of the black community
communities in the united states are in the Deep South which would be Georgia Mississippi
Alabama Louisiana South Carolina and in a lot of the Cities the bigger cities especially Los
Angeles Chicago Detroit New York City the list goes on all right before we get to number one if
you've made it this far you've probably enjoyed the video if you want to help out this channel
enjoy another one one of the suggested ones at the end that's a big thing for YouTube channels
they want to see if you click another video after you watched one so if you would please
watch another video that suggested like in the last 10 seconds all right on to number one
and number one Brazil Brazil just like Colombia and Venezuela the United States Haiti and the
Dominican Republic saw their African communities start because of slavery for the most part the
Portuguese are the ones that brought slaves from Africa to Brazil in the 1550s in total
it's estimated they brought over 5 million enslaved people from Congo Angola Nigeria Ghana
and Mozambique it wasn't until the 1880s that they outlawed slavery in Brazil so there weren't many
of them living in Brazil that had come from Africa they were born and raised in Brazil so many of
these enslaved people just settled in Brazil the only home they'd really known Brazil is huge it's
the fifth largest country on the planet and you will find the black population in every corner of
this country maybe not in the Amazon which takes up a good portion of Brazil how big is the Amazon
they estimate there's somewhere around 60 to 70 uncontacted indigenous tribes in Brazil meaning
there's people that live so far into that jungle that they've never had contact with
modern societies saw a documentary where two of them came wandering out of the jungle at
one point uh because their fire went out and they didn't know how to get it going again
they had had fire and they'd kept the same fire going for 18 years and it went out and
they couldn't get it going again so they needed some help but back to the African population of
Brazil like I said you will find them in every corner of Brazil other than the Amazon Brazil
has a population of about 215 million residents of that about 56 million are of African descent
all right that's today's video everyone have a great day be nice to each other
