Hello JT Squad, welcome back to my YouTube channel Today, we are reacting to Afro-Turks Afro-Turks are a small group of people in Turkey I think I heard they are in Izmir They are all blacks? We are reacting to that today, so let’s see Does that mean they can’t speak English? I guess that’s what it means probably Maybe they can learn it in school Have you met anyone? I have met one, the Congolese guy? Yea that’s true Before we get into the video, make sure you like the video, share the video and subscribe And lets get into the video Wait, I don’t understand her accent So a little child asked her why she was black He is mixed color too? Yea both of them…No I think it’s just him They are both mixed This guy at the left looks like he is complete Turkish This is another person? They have been existing for a long time? There are a lot of them in konya The same person? Is that her husband? Maybe her son Her accent is weird, right?…Her name is Hatice That’s a proper Turkish name Wait, who did they take as slaves? They took them as slaves It means her mum’s black genes are very strong Because she said her dad is white and her mum is black, but she looks more black I think this is just the same with black Americans. Did they come to Africa to take them as slaves? Sultan Hamit? Yea. I saw something like Sultan Hamit Some of them stayed as soldiers Some were slaves, they worked on farms That’s the mum They are both black I think they are just showing us the Afro-Turks I see some white skinned Turkish guys with curly hair And I ask myself, “how?” So I am guessing their ancestors must have been black It’s surprising that I have never seen anyone here in Cyprus…
I have seen 08:05 - I am talking about this kind of skin complexion The Congolese guy we saw grew up in Turkey There is an Afro-Turk that lives close to where we live, I can show you later He has been on many TV shows All of them? All of them Apart from the teacher I guess Nice family though Two wives ? This is the mother? These are the mothers, they look the same age Both of them? I can hear different cities that I have never heard before I think they are villages I don’t think he is mentioning cities now, he is mentioning towns and villages The Ottomans invaded Sudan too? Yea This is the first time I am hearing that Did they migrate or they were captured? I think this is why people are not surprised whenever we tell them we are from Izmir Normally, we jokingly tell them that we are from Izmir I don’t think anyone would willingly go to another country as a slave So I think the translation means they were captured as slaves I don’t think a group of people will go to a country because they want to be slaves They have never been in situations that may have prompted them to rebel So there was slavery, but it was not for a long time It’s still slavery though What? 8 years? They served as slaves for 8 years? 8 years is a lot Wait, I will go back 8 years. How old am I? 16 years So you will serve as a slave until you are 24 Is that Ataturk’s statue? I don’t think these people will understand English language I don’t think so too They will understand, just like Turkish people understand English About marriage It’s rare for a European parent to tell you “Don’t marry a black person” But I know it’s common in Turkey Maybe it’s because of religion difference and cultural difference Most of them don’t want their children to date foreign people Unfortunately To be honest, I agree with him when he said racism is so much in some European countries Imagine the level of racism in Italy, Russia, USA, Germany…I don’t think there is racism in Germany But Italy and Russia have a very high case of racism Kazakhstan Racism in Kazakhstan? Yes yes yes It doesn’t exist in some major cities A friend of us told us they may throw bananas at you in some places But it’s not because they are trying to make you feel bad…So what’s the purpose? It’s just because they are ignorant If you are not ignorant, I don’t think you can be racist Yea that’s true I think I would also be surprised if I was in Nigeria and a white person starts speaking my native language I would ask questions too, I think it’s surprising when someone that is not your color speaks your language I think that is normal He calls that color harassment I think it’s because of the manner of approach Maybe he has come across people that have been too curious and it made him feel uncomfortable Where are all these places? I think they are in Izmir Have you ever heard of this before? No So do they kill calves or what? I think so I don’t think they are edible Or is it a “god” Is it something they worship? I don’t know, calves are not supposed to be eaten…I think Really? Calves are younger ones of cows Okay, that was educative Afro-Turks actually exist I want to meet one Afro-Turk I wanna have a conversation with them Yes guys, Afro-Turks They actually exist Don’t forget to like the video, share the video, comment something nice Follow us on Instagram Till we see next time…Peace! .
