• 0:10
  Speaker 2: Do you think it's offensive if I wear braids?
• 0:13
  Speaker 3: Yes, because you don't understand the culture or the meaning
• 0:17
  Speaker 3: behind the braids.
• 0:18
  Speaker 4: Why girl with braids?
• 0:20
  Speaker 3: It just doesn't fit right in my spirit? Like you're

  Speaker 5: which doesn't fit right with my spirit?
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: Do you guys just want to be us so bad?
• 0:36
  Speaker 6: I don't.
• 0:38
  Speaker 7: I don't.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: I think when I was younger, I didn't like a
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: lot of things. Now it just kind of it doesn't
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: matter to me, you know, but don't. I don't know
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: who wears more fake hair, dudes or women? Yeah, now
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: I can't tell who. If I see one dude more
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: and more due with drell XI then they had the
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: day before.
• 0:54
  Speaker 8: I think I lose my FYI too now, not just hair.
• 0:59
  Speaker 8: But you know men also, so do all of this
• 1:01
  Speaker 8: the beard stage. You can get the whole you get
• 1:03
  Speaker 8: your whole new thing.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: I know somebody with the turkey and got it.
• 1:05
  Speaker 8: Yeah. Yeah, a beard transplant, dude, where do you transplant?
• 1:10
  Speaker 8: Where do they bring?
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: I don't know where it is. I don't know what
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: it is, but I know, like you know, listen if
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: you whatever you want to do. But I think that
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: what the greatest form of flattery is imitation, right, Yeah.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: Remember Michael Bolton, he just did the Illy Brothers like
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: it wasn't there, like I'm saying, they just Milton Burrow
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: used to go to black Chitling circuit and watch black
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: comics and still the jokes. So it's it's just not
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: you know, it's always you know, it's you live in
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: this level of proximity with people.
• 1:47
  Speaker 8: You're going to have some bleedover for sure.
• 1:49
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: So does it bother you when white people with traditional
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: black hair stuffs, I mean even like when they wear
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: close cuts, you know what I mean, they were, that's
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: us to.
• 2:00
  Speaker 9: It is.
• 2:01
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I don't necessarily care. I'm not going to tell
• 2:03
  Speaker 8: you true, not at all. I don't care. Now, do
• 2:05
  Speaker 8: what you want to with your hair. It's growing out
• 2:06
  Speaker 8: of your scalp. I think you can fry it, you
• 2:08
  Speaker 8: can diet, you can lay it to the side. Show business,
• 2:11
  Speaker 8: don't know.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: I think that you should have the commensurate credit score
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: when you wear.
• 2:14
  Speaker 6: It's a black hair stuff.
• 2:17
  Speaker 8: Well, let me ask you something that I think you
• 2:19
  Speaker 8: does that also go the other way because you say
• 2:21
  Speaker 8: I got white hair, which I don't want to do
• 2:24
  Speaker 8: what you do.
• 2:24
  Speaker 10: I'm just saying, do you.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: Know what happened yesterday we talk about this is the
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: four o'clock hour. I think it was something I thought
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: about when I was when you know, we were doing.
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: The show yesterday.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: But I got a table this and get to this question.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: It does it body when white people wear black traditional
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: black hair styles. That's the question we posted to you
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: go right to the phones.
• 2:46
  Speaker 11: I do have a problem, and the reason that I
• 2:48
  Speaker 11: do is because when I was a little girl in school,
• 2:51
  Speaker 11: my mother used to put plaque, that's what we called it,
• 2:54
  Speaker 11: in my hair. And I was sitting in front of
• 2:56
  Speaker 11: a white girl after we had integrated, and she touched
• 2:59
  Speaker 11: my platte and she said, what is this? I turned
• 3:02
  Speaker 11: around and I slapped her hands. So then again I
• 3:05
  Speaker 11: got in trouble for it because she made fun of
• 3:09
  Speaker 11: the way my hair was back then and those were platts.
• 3:12
  Speaker 11: So now you see them when French brays just like
• 3:16
  Speaker 11: I had when I was a little girl, and they
• 3:18
  Speaker 11: want to do that. Also want to go into tan
• 3:20
  Speaker 11: booth and they want a tan. I watched them at
• 3:23
  Speaker 11: the gym go in and out of tanning booth. Apparently
• 3:26
  Speaker 11: they have a problem with the color of their skin,
• 3:28
  Speaker 11: so they want to be brown. Also, anything we invent
• 3:32
  Speaker 11: or create, like the chest bumped the handshakes, they do
• 3:36
  Speaker 11: it too now, so we never copy anything that they
• 3:39
  Speaker 11: invent because they don't invent anything. So I do have
• 3:42
  Speaker 11: a problem that they need to stick to don on
• 3:43
  Speaker 11: a little straight corse tail hair.
• 3:45
  Speaker 12: I think it goes both ways, and that if we're
• 3:49
  Speaker 12: going to be mad then for wearing our styles. And
• 3:52
  Speaker 12: we got to do the same when we put all
• 3:54
  Speaker 12: that grease and methan oura and permit, you know it
• 3:57
  Speaker 12: works growth that's a that wave sword.
• 3:59
  Speaker 13: Well, I don't think that we should have a problem
• 4:02
  Speaker 13: with other cultures using our haircare.
• 4:04
  Speaker 14: Products because look at us with our nails, look at
• 4:08
  Speaker 14: us with the Asians teaching us about all this hair
• 4:11
  Speaker 14: We eat. It's like we want to back in the
• 4:14
  Speaker 14: day in the eighties. I don't even think our people.
• 4:16
  Speaker 15: Even everybody was blue eyed green eye. I mean, we
• 4:20
  Speaker 15: want to do what everybody else is doing. But as
• 4:22
  Speaker 15: soon as they want to do well we consider our culture,
• 4:25
  Speaker 15: then we have a problem with it. And I don't
• 4:27
  Speaker 15: mind if a white lady is in the hair care
• 4:29
  Speaker 15: products because she may have one of them brown curly
• 4:31
  Speaker 15: had babies. You know, we don't want to always talk
• 4:34
  Speaker 15: about that even though she's white, she may have our
• 4:37
  Speaker 15: kids at her home that.
• 4:39
  Speaker 9: She needs to learn how to properly take care.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: Of their air.
• 4:42
  Speaker 6: I don't think it's a problem, you know, because I
• 4:44
  Speaker 6: think we set the standard for what is cool, so
• 4:47
  Speaker 6: I kind of appreciate that they copy it.
• 4:50
  Speaker 9: Actually, I don't think I have a big problem with
• 4:53
  Speaker 9: them wearing the grapes. Actually, I love Brady on white
• 4:57
  Speaker 9: girls here because it turns out so beautiful. I know
• 5:01
  Speaker 9: it's all constant, but I actually when they date our man,
• 5:04
  Speaker 9: I know that's bad. I'm not not racism or anything
• 5:08
  Speaker 9: like that. I just feel like they're trying to eliminate it.
• 5:10
  Speaker 9: And that's all.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: So this is the audio.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: Do you think it's offensive if I wear braids.
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: Yes, because you don't understand the culture or the meaning
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: behind the braids.
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: White girl with braids.
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: Just doesn't fit right in my spirit, Like you're literally
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: trying to cause plain.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: How am I trying to cause play you?
• 5:29
  Speaker 5: When vikings and then the braids, I'm a Viking with
• 5:31
  Speaker 5: this hairstel right now, And if anything, you're cause playing
• 5:33
  Speaker 5: me because you're wearing a wake right now, which doesn't
• 5:35
  Speaker 5: fit right with my spirit.
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: You guys just want to be us so bad.
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: All right?
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: So does that body when? So when black white people
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: wear traditional black hairstyle, that's the question with Poland too.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: We go right to the phones.
• 5:45
  Speaker 7: This is Jamaine and Charlotte, North Carolina. I absolutely think
• 5:49
  Speaker 7: that is beautiful. I wish all of them would try
• 5:52
  Speaker 7: to look like that. America would be great. I don't
• 5:55
  Speaker 7: know about that again, because you got to do something
• 5:57
  Speaker 7: for the be again. America never did that to be so, yeah,
• 6:00
  Speaker 7: I think that they always do it. It's a beautiful thing,
• 6:03
  Speaker 7: beautiful situation.
• 6:05
  Speaker 6: I think I.
• 6:06
  Speaker 13: Would have a problem with that because black people have
• 6:09
  Speaker 13: been discriminated against, treated bad they talked about badly for
• 6:12
  Speaker 13: so long just for wearing our hair in its natural state.
• 6:16
  Speaker 13: I mean, the Craft Act was created just so that
• 6:20
  Speaker 13: we could wear our hair the way we want in
• 6:22
  Speaker 13: public and at work and stuff. And half of the
• 6:25
  Speaker 13: country still, half of the states in this country still
• 6:28
  Speaker 13: haven't even adopted that Act.
• 6:29
  Speaker 6: But I got a problem with that. And I just
• 6:32
  Speaker 6: like to say, we have a lot of nerve getting
• 6:34
  Speaker 6: that at white folk wearing black hairstyles. And this is
• 6:37
  Speaker 6: the reason. I just walked down the street today and
• 6:40
  Speaker 6: I saw seventeen Black women with blond hair, I mean,
• 6:44
  Speaker 6: with white hairstyles, and we wear just so many of
• 6:46
  Speaker 6: their hairstyles. We don't have that many. They can't do
• 6:48
  Speaker 6: too many of our hairstyles with their hair, but the
• 6:50
  Speaker 6: ones they can do, they do with the druds, with
• 6:53
  Speaker 6: the curls, and you know, things like that. But I
• 6:55
  Speaker 6: think we should get just as upset about these black
• 6:57
  Speaker 6: women wearing white women hairstyles. I totally agree.
• 7:01
  Speaker 16: It bothers me every time I see this, because they
• 7:06
  Speaker 16: talked about us, they cut off our hair. We couldn't
• 7:09
  Speaker 16: even have our own own traditions when we gave from Africa,
• 7:13
  Speaker 16: you know, and now they're copying, but we do.
• 7:17
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I got a problem in just a.
• 7:20
  Speaker 17: Given bro, we are the first humans on the planet,
• 7:22
  Speaker 17: so yeah, how are they gonna say we took something
• 7:25
  Speaker 17: from them? They always got to come behind us and
• 7:27
  Speaker 17: take something. But the only problem is, I don't have
• 7:29
  Speaker 17: a problem with you take it from the culture, but
• 7:31
  Speaker 17: I think it's trying to rename something that we already
• 7:34
  Speaker 17: know was already braids or baby hair. Next thing, you know,
• 7:37
  Speaker 17: they called it fore head lashes or.
• 7:40
  Speaker 12: Yeah, I put a wing on my face.
• 7:41
  Speaker 17: It's like, no, you do copied some baby hair and
• 7:45
  Speaker 17: you did it now, bro, but he did some braids.
• 7:47
  Speaker 17: I'm trying to rename everything we already did, trying to
• 7:49
  Speaker 17: tell it back.
• 7:50
  Speaker 13: To my name is training them from Buffalo, New York.
• 7:53
  Speaker 13: And I do a lady, a white lady's hair, and
• 7:55
  Speaker 13: I crochet hair her hair. I don't see anything offensive
• 7:59
  Speaker 13: about it has on the person. You know, some people,
• 8:02
  Speaker 13: you know they're doing too much trying to be black
• 8:05
  Speaker 13: and black. But if this lady, like this lady, she
• 8:07
  Speaker 13: just really loves our hair and the crochet looks good.
• 8:10
  Speaker 16: On her, I am of color. I do not like it.
• 8:15
  Speaker 16: They have taken everything from us, including taking a bath,
• 8:19
  Speaker 16: so yeah, I don't like it. They have taken everything
• 8:22
  Speaker 16: our dance, everything music, everything.
• 8:27
  Speaker 6: Our was language.
• 8:29
  Speaker 16: I mean, at one point in time you wouldn't hear
• 8:31
  Speaker 16: that on like Channel five, but now you hear all
• 8:34
  Speaker 16: this black music and all of this stuff.
• 8:37
  Speaker 7: So no, I don't like it.
• 8:40
  Speaker 13: My issue is this, I do have a problem because
• 8:43
  Speaker 13: everything that we are they say they hate and everything
• 8:46
  Speaker 13: they hate they try to be get our complexion, get
• 8:49
  Speaker 13: our ends, get our hair, get everything that we have.
• 8:54
  Speaker 13: But they hate us and even like our black men,
• 8:57
  Speaker 13: but they hate black people, but they want to have
• 9:00
  Speaker 13: all of our characteristics.
• 9:02
  Speaker 6: That's sad.
• 9:09
