I want to Say As A Black Man That Black People Was the First Samurai's in china or Japan ! But Amazin Video Queen ! Respect ! Black Love ! Brooklyn!
Netflix has a series called Yasuke.
Yasuka kamit my hero!
Love it.
Such a great story 👍👍
Beautiful documentary 👏 ❤️
The truth is that the indigenous Japanese people were Blck and so were the Samurai.
This movie is disingenuous. Just look on YT and you will even see a documentary made by Japanese people about how the original people of Japan were Africans.
These pple are called the Ainu. They still live in Japan but now they look like modern day Japanese because they have been mixed out. They are related to the Māori pple of New Zealand (who are Polynesian) and the indigenous people of Formosa (indigenous pple of Taiwan).
The people living there now came from Chyna and they deleted the indigenous people. All of Asia including Chyna had African indigenous people. You can find that info on YT also.
[ One of those retainers was African, quite possibly our heroic African samurai. Just how Yasuke would have entered Katō’s service is unclear, but Katō’s proximity to, and trade with, Nagasaki would certainly have meant that it would not have been difficult. Yasuke would have been a highly useful hire, and his warrior background and Nobunaga connection would clearly have appealed to the martial-minded lord. In a letter regarding orders for an overseas trading mission dated December 6, 1593, Lord Katō gives specific instructions as to the leaders of the mission. One of them is called Kurobo, or “Black man.”
There’s every reason to believe Yusuke stayed in Japan,and got married with multiple wives, and had children, unless there was another African Samurai, here is a long explanation, based off the book African Samurai]
[ Kurobo had not initially accompanied Katō to Korea, but remained behind in the port of Ikura in Higo; the letter of 1593 suggests he was a retainer with responsibility for aspects of international trade and foreign affairs. In 1594, this man called Kurobo sailed aboard a Chinese-style junk, built by immigrant Chinese shipwrights in Japan and owned by Katō, with a cargo of silver and one hundred twenty tons of wheat bound for Manila in the Philippines. The Spanish in Manila were very keen to trade for wheat as it was in short supply locally and for them it was essential to make their staples of bread and ship’s biscuit. The wheat was traded for munitions and then taken to Korea to supply the desperate garrison.]
[ To specifically mention his family, Katō also clearly valued his service, and was fond of him. It also indicates the African was given preferential treatment as a foreigner, allowed multiple wives—polygamy was not common in Japan, although most men of rank had concubines.
Geographically, professionally and chronologically, there is every possibility that the man was Yasuke in the service of another Japanese lord. Remember the illustration on the writing box (in Chapter 8) created by the Rin School, the one of a very tall black man dressed in expensive Portuguese clothing and the two dark-skinned boys. The cloak carrier is clearly a servant. But the boy musician? Could he be the giant’s child Katō writes of? The man in the illustration is likely Yasuke.]
Why do you love degrading great Africans by always calling them slaves or former slaves. Shame on you. If you keep calling or referring to our great historical African figures as slaves or former slaves I will unsubscribe to your channel.
Africka black people was labeled Ethiopian before we were label as African during slavery. Ethiopian were never slaves they ruled the world and deliver the Japanese from slavery and taught them freedom including their own culture. We were the world protector of liberty for all people. From evil empires. African Unity ✊🏿

May one of my children bear his name. It would be an honor.
My grandson sent me yusuke
He said I look like him
Is this who white people made a the movie about, " The last samuri" only white washing the brotha with Tom Cruze. If so, man they truly hate us bcuz they ain't us. It makes me think about John Wayne and Clint Eastwood cowboy characters who were based off of real life black cowboys.
Remarkable!
Hollywood was going to make a blockbuster movie about his life and Chadwick Boseman had signed to play Yasuke. Sadly his cancer had reached advanced stages and he died before he could shoot the movie. Hopefully John Boyega can be signed to play him . At the time of his final battle Yasuke was about 27 years old according to Japanese texts who estimated his age. So John Boyega will be perfect for that role as he is about 30 years old. The battle scenes will be epic coz according to Japanese texts the sword fighting was brutal ,it took skills and strength combined.
Indigenous African are a different mentality than African Americans. African people are diligent wholesome loving Hebrew type. Black Americans are ghetto hateful mean and nasty people. Were they sold to the white man for a reason. Maybe this stuff should be in the Florida black history AP book and not the Woke Queer CRT stupidity
No african scientists to look up to?
❤
Thanks for keeping us updated Our government has no idea how people are struggling right now, I will forever appreciate Mr Gregory Bennett You've helped me a lot with your advice 💯
He was NEVER AFRICAN those are racist Out of Africa Theories. He was an Asian yes 🙌🏾 Asians are black and dark skinned too. Not Hindu, Aboriginal of Asia. Stop 🛑 calling people African because of skin color, people of his complexion are in EVERY CONTINENT OF THE WORLD 🌎
I read the book "African Samurai" about Yasuke and you still provided me with factual information about him I was unaware of in this 5minute video.
Another reason why it's important for Africans to tell our own story cause nobody tells it quite like us.
A black man working as a weapon bearer in Japan is Africa’s biggest achievement lmao😂
Thanks for this history lesson. Yasuke, except for his complexion and height, looks very Asian in his face. If they make a movie, Wesley Snipes should play him. Interesting…
Cool!
This is very interesting story on how we Asiatic black men can learn any and everything we put are minds to he was true indeed good man power to the people❤️🙏
Im waiting for the movie com spike lee let do this
Yap…and after, sadly, he was sealed and torn back to slavery….tell the story till the end 😢 😞
