I grew up in very rural South Carolina, dirt road trailer park. I can’t relate to being black but definitely can relate to people that grow up a certain way and just stay… stay there. Miserable and blaming how they grew up with why they didn’t get out of that poverty. I fought. Hard. Survived extreme @buse and gr00ming and sa. I had my first son at 17 years old and I said he WOULD NOT grow up like I did. I got my GED at 8 months pregnant in October of ‘92. I went to job training and it was educating myself that helped me get out. I was taught nothing good in my early life but branching out and meeting many different kinds of people helped me unlearn certain things that were very common in rural South Carolina. ❤❤❤ ANYONE can rise above ingrained hatred and prejudice. And I think it exists in many places still, sadly. But we can be united. ❤
The Celts wore plaits, the Dutch wore plaits, the Swiss wore plaits, from what I understand the Vikings wore plaits. Victorian English women curled and plaited their hair. When I grew up the Afro was adored and white people (like me) paid big money for perms to get those tight curls.. We didn't call it it appropriation, we called it appreciation. "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery"
The natives also braided their hair. I mean, I’m sure ppls from all over the globe, from all times has been adorning their hair with braids. I think it is silly to say it belong to one group of ppls , to claim it as its own 🙄 It belong to all peoples.
This was so safe 😂😂🤣 I would say the biggest conversation black people aren't ready to have is how they've become the most racist and cause tension with the cops. Aww your baby in the background is so cute sounding ☺️ You guys are a cute couple. I'm a new sub and already binging on your content. ❤️
Love your show. You're very interesting . I think people appreciate other cultures rather than appropriate them. One of the best Irish Step dancers in the world is black from Baltimore. I think every newborn baby should know both their parents for love, support and the medical history of the ancestors. Your baby giving an opinion made me smile.
I always just kinda thought HBCU's are for black folks and he has some really good points, and I agree. Having said that - are there any white colleges? Braids were a white Viking thing too. Great point about being happy with your hair.
Braids started thousands of years ago like you said. They are Nordic braids from Vikings that were white for starters so who is appropriating honestly. I got petty for no reason and I apologize. Y’all have a great channel.
My father was an abusive alcoholic and my mother was a neglectful drug addict. I have 2 kids and I'm a believer in corporal punishment, but I know the line to never cross because I've been on the receiving end of the other side of the line.
If struggle makes you black, I am one of the palest black person you ever saw. Giggles. Everyone goes through their own brand of struggle, no matter the skin tone. But I truly believe that going through controversy, and getting to the other side is the only way for personal growth!
Braids didn't start as braids. They started as weaving baskets and people applied it to human hair. Braids that weren't braids until they were applied to hair. It's a weave of a basket.
Ancient India had dreadlocks before Africa, and cornrows were worn in all sorts of white cultures before Africa (e.g., France, Greece, etc.). Also, a lot of black people today (maybe most) are wearing clothing that comes from white cultures (business suits, t-shirts, business shoes, sneakers, etc.). This whole game of who did what first is nonsense. There is very little that humans do that hasn't been done before by someone else. And, in case someone hasn't put it together yet, that goes for white people too. I'm talking about everybody. And, what does it matter if someone else did something first?
Thank you! We're all just different shades of brown from creamy light to chocolate brown. Every one of us created in the image of God and all equally valued by Him. If you want to dive into a really honest look at race check out the Answers in Genesis videos.
The issue with braids is that Black women weren't allowed to wear their hair in its natural state in the workplace. Now that white women wear curls and braids, it's acceptable.
Get the purple color correcting toothpaste. Me and my husband drink coffee daily (well not me currently since I'm nursing) and that toothpaste works wonders! It's instant whitening and safe.
Like the idea of this channel but please better understand the topics you are discussing. For example Brown doesn’t necessarily Black, it can be of a different ethnic background. Doesn’t have to be black. Second, giving power to the narrative that black people beat their kids more is dangerously unless it’s based on facts. A lot of these items discussed I feel was based on stereotypes and not the norm. If you want to discuss stereotypes that’s fine. But these items were just that.
My wife is from Haiti. She didn’t like wearing her natural hair even growing up around just Haitians. Even with no white people around there was a stigma about having your hair ‘wild’. All the pictures I saw of her younger it was straightened and flat. And the bleaching community was really big. It’s all crazy.
The two most beautiful smiles I’ve seen in ages, when, glancing at their children!

You’re an inspiration to ALL women and men.

This is off topic, but damn you two are both model pretty.
Thank you 🙏🏽
That’s exactly what I’ve tried to say but not be weird about it🤷♂️😂😂 these are damn good looking people.
@@larrybuckner8619lol 😊
You ain't lying! They're both beautiful people, and from what I can tell from watching their videos, it's not just external beauty. ❤
OMG - I was just thinking the same thing! Girl, you are beautiful!!! I believe it’s from the inside out.
Second video of yours I’ve watched. You both are insightful and are thinking critically. I love it!
Wow, thank you!
I would describe yawls color as Hawaiian gold. And that beard is in a league of its own!🔥 I hear that baby in the background got something to say!
😂 love it! And baby always got something to say lol
The braids that black folks wear is called a Dutch Braid... 'cause that's where it came from.
It could be that the Dutch introduced it to Africa when they settled their trade stations in the 1600's..
The natives also braided their hair. I mean, I’m sure ppls from all over the globe, from all times has been adorning their hair with braids. I think it is silly to say it belong to one group of ppls , to claim it as its own 🙄 It belong to all peoples.

…it’s called a Dutch braid. Viking times from white people. The outrage is for nothing. Agreed!

I dont mind the HBCUs either.... I went to HS it was over 90% white... no difference.
Yoo I look at y'all more than I listen a black emperor and his queen whoooo guys are finnnnnnnnneeeee
My father was an abusive alcoholic and my mother was a neglectful drug addict. I have 2 kids and I'm a believer in corporal punishment, but I know the line to never cross because I've been on the receiving end of the other side of the line.
The Celts and Vikings dreaded their hair sometimes too. Some shamans do this as well.

The Bible says to drive children's souls from hell. I whooped, never abused, my children because of this instruction from God.

ok............i can settle this.if the black women give up the straightening iron the others give up the braids.
The issue with braids is that Black women weren't allowed to wear their hair in its natural state in the workplace. Now that white women wear curls and braids, it's acceptable.
And almost all cultures weaved just saying.
❤👍🏾
I need to know whatever you guys are using to keep your teeth so white. What do you use? Who do you see? I'm guessing you don't drink coffee.
lol, thx! We drink coffee but not daily. It’s the lighting lol

Who "conditioned" you?
Enjoying your brainwashed racism today, huh?
