I disagree with you Bobby Banas danced to "Nitty Gritty" just fine. 15 million views speaks for itself. Leave race out of it. Singing and dancing is a part of all ethnic cultures.

I hope you keep pressing on!!

Congratulations!

Nit <-> as in in nit from "nitpick" Grit <-> as in grit from "has grit".. "sandy like dirt" No?

And from this came the Lindy Hop.. which is a whole different story but very cool podcast I subscribed and I appreciate you for posting this very knowledgeable thank you..

I dunno , i think its still a protest word and dance ... And not racist iykyk

K.Lamar... King of the cakewalk 2024

Whole world practices slavery. Entire world. Our country abolished it. Just want to remind people of that fact. If you look at our history and today we are the greatest success story in the entire world.

Did you see Kendrick and Tommy the clown dancers do the Cakewalk on the Not like us video!

It was use FIRST by the FRENCH slave ships and was not use in the US till the 40"s. So not only are u wrong you are a dumb too.

Inspired but I don’t have anyone to start with. Folks can disagree but being a female hiker and a person of color may not always bring positive attention. IMO

Not every 1 was fortunate to live in areas + more authentic African American cultures like Louisiana or N Carolina. Also, would you replace the name of dance + what new name? Also, there were also in some US areas, free African Americans, often “middle” class who were able to dress as modern stagevperformers.

I want an update.

I hate I discovered you so late. Keep going. I want to see more adventures.

Jewels, this is powerful, informative and emotionally draining. It’s a tough pill to swallow for anyone with a heart. Grateful for your compelling and compassionate way of educating the public. Being rooted in the world of entertainment, this has special significance having studied this particular song and dance. This has further opened our eyes. And we can only imagine the very different ways Shirley Ellis and her entourage would have danced to their own recordings. ❤

I thought of puffys humiliation ritual aka the cheesecake walk while watching this. Very interesting. Im doing research for a painting.... thanks for ur input. ❤❤❤

I think the dancing is cool. Certainly if a different time, but also it’s a dance expression, it’s an art piece in it self. But sure, let’s make it racial?…

Love the tune and beat but you are absolutely right. And I’m a white man who CAN dance ha ha. Stiff says it.

can you do a video of what you packed?

I love being informed and educated, Thank you!

Thank you for the education. Google gave me a few different kinds of answers and it wasn’t very clear. I would love a book on this subject if anyone has put words like this in one place. ❤

Figures I find your channel a year after you moved away 😢. Oh well, maybe our hikes will cross someday. 🏕️

Yes! I found a fellow sis. Thank GOD.

Great vlog as always 👌🏾 Happy belated Anniversary 🎉lol

This one is really grasping for straws. Nobody used the word Master Bedroom in the pre-1865 South, it was first invented a half century later in a Sears catalog (1920). And Sears is/(was?) headquartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota which is a State that never even had slavery at all.

Entertaining camping videos and these little tidbits? Kudos. That is wild about the Peanuts comic strip, I never knew.

So loving your channel, you inspire me. I am still trying to figure out how to edit a video but I love seeing us outside!!

Love it!

Pure inspiration

Interesting topic. A woman of Barbadian heritage once told me that it meant that the slaves captors would go below deck to where they were kept and would take their pick of which ones they wanted to have sex with; that was getting down to the ‘nitty gritty’. Would you consider doing any videos on signs and gestures and what they mean? This is not connected, but as an example, in England people don’t ‘flip the bird’ when telling someone to ‘foxtrot oscar’, they make a v sign instead. This came about during the Hundred Years War, between England and France (1337-1453) when the French had a policy of cutting the two fingers nearest the thumbs off of captured archers/soldiers, so that if they eventually released them they couldn’t draw the string of a bow and fire arrows anymore, rendering them useless for military service. When this became known, the English archers/soldiers would thrust their bow fingers, forward, at the French, as if to say, “I’ve still got my (bow) fingers “ as a gesture of defiance, or contempt. Not a racial gesture, though certainly a nationalistic one! As such, I was wondering if you had any ideas to share on gestures which may have a history behind them.

Looks like a great area to Hike. You've come along way. Good job on your Adventures

I live in New England and would love To go on a backpacking trip! There are so many trails in the white mountains! Which one did you elect to take? Looks like a great site!

I’m researching to go on my first trip ❤

Such a cool adventure Jewelz! Fantastic production and wonderful scenery out there. Keep exploring!

the fact that you do not have at LEAST 20k subscribers is algorithmically suspicious

When in doubt, crawl on all 4s! I do that too! 😂 Love your channel!

TH-cam is the goat for putting you in my algorithm. I appreciate your hiking and nature content for us black men and women who are also actively trying to break that stigma, you make it easier for us to relate and learn. Thank you, keep going sis !🤌🏾🫶🏾

Don't be hard on yourself, just patiently work through limitations and challenges. Nice video, see you in the next one!

Was so happy to see you guys living your best life on trail. I am planning my first section hike of the Arizona Trail for next Fall. Its nice to see others like myself adventuring, thank you for sharing. See you in the next one!

Keep it up, girls! Greetings from Norway. 🤗

Oh I am so glad the YT algorithm recommended yall to me! I'm also a fellow queer black backpacker; I went on a few solo overnight trips in the autumn and just did my first multiday trip with my little sister up in Michigan. Instant subscribe, can't wait to see your future adventures!

MOO, LOST ME AT NOSE RING.

I got those same knives

Best food and atmosphere in ATX! You know it’s good when you have stable energy all day after lunch! 💚

That water mistake was crazy. Boredom is amazing, I get so creative from it. I find it impossible to be bored in modern society. Plus you really get to find out what thoughts are truly yours and what are those that you borrowed from others or social media. Keep up the adventures. Godspeede

It doesn't sound remotely racist.

Yeah, we did it joe ain't working it well at all.👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾

Thanks for sharing.
