We Don’t Look Like Them/Brotha Says Black Americans Should Stop Obsessing Over Looking Like Africans
Reneilwe Morema reports on Brotha Criticizing popular Streamer and Content Creator iShowSpeed's African tour, calling the tour ''POINTLESS AND UNINFORMATIVE.'' He further said that he is trying too hard to prove that Black Americans look like Africans, but in reality they don't.
The commentator argues that Speed is trying too hard to prove that Black Americans physically resemble Africans, insisting that the two groups are not the same and should stop forcing visual and cultural similarities. According to him, this obsession with “looking African” fuels a misguided sense of solidarity that he believes has unintended consequences.
He went further to claim that this mindset is why many Africans migrate to the United States, break laws, and allegedly rely on protection from Black Americans out of racial loyalty. In a particularly controversial moment, he stated that he would never set foot in Africa himself — and if he ever did, it would only be to “see the animals,” citing what he called a “poverty mentality” among Africans.
His remarks have sparked intense backlash online, with many accusing him of ignorance, internalized racism, and disrespect toward the African continent and its people. This segment unpacks the growing tension between parts of the African diaspora, the dangers of stereotyping, and how online commentary is deepening divides instead of fostering understanding.
