Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: It is the dal you call show your twenty twenty
- 0:02Speaker 1: six editions. So Tuskegee has implemented a policy and no
- 0:06Speaker 1: do rags, no bonus, no pajamas, no outside slippers when
- 0:11Speaker 1: you're in Obviously this is a problem or they perceive
- 0:16Speaker 1: it as a problem, right, yeah, and they've decided to
- 0:19Speaker 1: do something about it. If you're in college, generally you're
- 0:22Speaker 1: pretty young. Just this is probably your first adult experience.
- 0:26Speaker 1: And I guess to you, in your in your narrow perspective,
- 0:30Speaker 1: this might be a freedom. If your mom and them
- 0:33Speaker 1: wouldn't let you dress like that, your brother shouldn't dress
- 0:36Speaker 1: like that.
- 0:36Speaker 2: College. Well, the other thing, the whole point, you love.
- 0:38Speaker 1: Your house, and your mama said if that was okay,
- 0:39Speaker 1: then maybe it's okay. If but but I would think
- 0:42Speaker 1: that if you are in college, it is to achieve
- 0:45Speaker 1: a thing, and not that you can't achieve it with
- 0:49Speaker 1: you know, being dressed a certain way.
- 0:51Speaker 3: I disagree. I think that I think that how you
- 0:54Speaker 3: dress matters. I think you dress for whatever you're preparing for.
- 0:58Speaker 3: Right If you know it's going to r and outside,
- 1:00Speaker 3: you dressed to prepare for rain. If you dress like
- 1:04Speaker 3: you're going to sleep, then wherever you're going, you're going
- 1:07Speaker 3: to be so comfortable you might go to sleep. Your pajamas,
- 1:09Speaker 3: that's forbid, that's for a nighttime, slippers, bonnet pajamas, all
- 1:12Speaker 3: of those things. So to me, it seems like you
- 1:14Speaker 3: dressed for that. You're supposed to dress for the occasion
- 1:16Speaker 3: at hand, not necessarily just because you feel like, I
- 1:19Speaker 3: want to be comfortable all this.
- 1:20Speaker 2: I don't know what it is though.
- 1:21Speaker 1: I don't know when this happened though, because I've flown
- 1:26Speaker 1: twelve million miles literally, I've very rarely been on plane
- 1:30Speaker 1: with somebody who's flown more than me, very rarely, and
- 1:33Speaker 1: I don't remember this being a thing till very recently.
- 1:38Speaker 2: Well, no, I think it's been a thing for a
- 1:40Speaker 2: couple of years.
- 1:41Speaker 4: I just.
- 1:44Speaker 3: I think once people started being comfortable with because I think,
- 1:47Speaker 3: for first of all, people been wearing bonnets forever, going
- 1:50Speaker 3: all the way back to not out.
- 1:53Speaker 2: Right, but that's what I'm saying.
- 1:54Speaker 3: I think once people became comfortable with accepting this is
- 1:57Speaker 3: what we need to do to protect our hair. And
- 1:59Speaker 3: for a long time, I know women would hide it
- 2:01Speaker 3: from men, and then all of a sudden they were like,
- 2:03Speaker 3: then I'm going to put my bonnet on it, you
- 2:04Speaker 3: would like it or not.
- 2:05Speaker 2: Then it became well it now yeah, I'm like, come
- 2:09Speaker 2: on now, but this.
- 2:10Speaker 5: I think it's always been the case with you were
- 2:12Speaker 5: in high school and someone's mama would come up there
- 2:15Speaker 5: and they bonnet and you would.
- 2:16Speaker 2: Talk about this so that thing.
- 2:19Speaker 5: And I don't know now, I don't.
- 2:20Speaker 1: Know if you really and so in the villages when
- 2:26Speaker 1: so she would step out of a mud hut.
- 2:29Speaker 2: What's her bonnet made? We're sure a minor bird or something.
- 2:36Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 2:37Speaker 5: Well, either way, all black women are going to use
- 2:40Speaker 5: the bonnet. And I've seen this going on. I think
- 2:42Speaker 5: now it was just the kids are seeing it, like
- 2:45Speaker 5: I guess saw mama do it, and now they.
- 2:47Speaker 1: Well, Ima used to wear the house coat and they
- 2:48Speaker 1: lost the train and had the hold of yes.
- 2:50Speaker 2: They had to, but they were home point yeah, they always.
- 2:55Speaker 2: They was always at.
- 2:56Speaker 1: Home and you could tell when they was gone because
- 2:58Speaker 1: the good week off, that weight week. You know, it
- 3:03Speaker 1: was a church wig. It was going to take going
- 3:05Speaker 1: to argue with the white man wig. It was because
- 3:09Speaker 1: it was the wig she washes. It's a business wig,
- 3:12Speaker 1: you know, it's what you gotta go argue with these people,
- 3:15Speaker 1: cut your.
- 3:15Speaker 2: Life back on a certain way. Party. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah,
- 3:21Speaker 2: it looks serious.

- 3:25Speaker 1: like you're on a Delta flight to Atlanta.
- 3:27Speaker 2: Why a Delta fly? Because Atlanta Miami and you know
- 3:31Speaker 2: what else I'm telling you. Delta used to have that.
- 3:34Speaker 1: It was a lounge, remember, and then they changed the

- 6:01Speaker 1: fly like Delta, Delta used to give you a glass
- 6:05Speaker 1: of champagne caviar, the crab legs. It was like a
- 6:09Speaker 1: real thing. The blanket would come out. Man, American had

- 6:27Speaker 2: uh huh. You know what? Nine eleven changed everything?
- 6:31Speaker 1: Nine eleven change that because remember they used to have
- 6:33Speaker 1: the plastic utensils, and then you have to start playing
- 6:35Speaker 1: for blankets. But your first class used to be really
- 6:37Speaker 1: first class. Now it's just a big ass seat. It
- 6:41Speaker 1: would be dope.
- 6:43Speaker 2: Used to be dope.
- 6:44Speaker 1: Now the only time you get that if you're flying
- 6:46Speaker 1: all the way from like La or New York to
- 6:48Speaker 1: San Francis.
- 6:49Speaker 2: You gotta fly. You gotta be flying all the way
- 6:51Speaker 2: across the country. Oh hell yeah.
- 6:53Speaker 1: But whenever I'm in La, whenever I fly to Atlanta,
- 6:56Speaker 1: when I know I'm on Delta, them because I says
- 6:58Speaker 1: the hub it is, it is bonnet, dirty slipper Central, trying.
- 7:05Speaker 2: To well back in the day, kick the poodle on.
- 7:09Speaker 2: Those are even I don't even know those.
- 7:12Speaker 1: Like how do you? You know what irks the hell
- 7:15Speaker 1: out of me is when somebody don't pictate. When a
- 7:17Speaker 1: woman don't pick her feet up and.
- 7:18Speaker 2: Slides, Oh my god, that drives crazy.
- 7:20Speaker 6: Here.
- 7:20Speaker 2: You know who does that? That's the old school girl.
- 7:25Speaker 2: She does that, the one for us get how to
- 7:27Speaker 2: get away? Murder? Oh you're sting? She does not? Does
- 7:32Speaker 2: she don't?
- 7:33Speaker 3: Now she shifts to my Bible with David. First of all,
- 7:36Speaker 3: I wait a minute, wait a minute, I gotta take
- 7:40Speaker 3: up with my girl. She does not scoot her feet,
- 7:43Speaker 3: but she does shift. No, it's like she walks body away,
- 7:46Speaker 3: but she don't drag her feet.
- 7:47Speaker 1: Okay, now I've had an occasion she picks her feet up.
- 7:52Speaker 2: Some said, Oprah change hers got a new body.
- 7:55Speaker 1: Got everything she said she got, Everything is new except
- 7:57Speaker 1: for Mississippi feet. Like man, all right, Tuskegee, this ain't
- 8:11Speaker 1: this ain't no white organization August well established, U, prestigious HBCU.
- 8:19Speaker 1: They historical, the airmen traded, you know, Tuskey airmen, they
- 8:24Speaker 1: are historical.
- 8:26Speaker 2: No dora, you never seen one of them.
- 8:28Speaker 1: No bon they have no dow rags, no bonish, no slippers,
- 8:34Speaker 1: no bedroom attire.
- 8:35Speaker 2: Right, you think it's too restrictive for going to the phones.
- 8:38Speaker 7: I think they should be completely banned, I'm telling you.
- 8:41Speaker 7: And when you see somebody in the bonnet, it traumatizes you.
- 8:45Speaker 7: So if you're ever out and you see somebody look
- 8:47Speaker 7: like they've been traumatized, that means they just encountered somebody
- 8:50Speaker 7: with a bonnet. They and those things and the manufacturers
- 8:54Speaker 7: should be fine. They shouldn't even be allowed to make them.
- 8:57Speaker 8: I think they should have been done that because you
- 9:00Speaker 8: know the bonnets and all that the wear and the
- 9:02Speaker 8: treating clothes when out of Walmart Girls stores, it well,
- 9:05Speaker 8: you know that that's a little played out and that
- 9:07Speaker 8: that says a lot about a person. Uh but far
- 9:09Speaker 8: as the collige kids, yeah, they damn sure.
- 9:12Speaker 2: You cut it out. Leave that to the look chack.
- 9:13Speaker 8: Let them do that. We ain't going no, damn well,
- 9:15Speaker 8: we ain't expect them to do anyway. But uh yeah,
- 9:18Speaker 8: those in college and trying to get their degrees on
- 9:21Speaker 8: and trying to get that good job, that's good to
- 9:23Speaker 8: practice right there and there, Start dressing right, start doing
- 9:26Speaker 8: everything right to pay yourself out there in that world.
- 9:29Speaker 8: That's what they're trying to do, and they should have
- 9:30Speaker 8: been done that.
- 9:31Speaker 2: I love it. This is the thing that's so funny
- 9:34Speaker 2: to me.
- 9:35Speaker 1: You can't want to look like everybody else and then
- 9:37Speaker 1: tell me you're fighting for your individualism.
- 9:39Speaker 2: That's funny.
- 9:40Speaker 1: You're fighting for the right to look like these other destinies.
- 9:42Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying.
- 9:43Speaker 2: I don't get it.
- 9:47Speaker 1: I don't get it. Oh my god, you know what
- 9:50Speaker 1: I'm saying That men tell you something. I don't know
- 9:52Speaker 1: how many this is a true story. I don't know
- 9:54Speaker 1: how many times I've been on a plane and somebody
- 9:57Speaker 1: dressed like that gets into it with somebody the plane
- 10:00Speaker 1: or like a flight attendant or first class. No, I'm
- 10:03Speaker 1: talking about at the gate because you know we have
- 10:05Speaker 1: to be in the same lines at the gate gate before.
- 10:07Speaker 2: You know, I go in.
- 10:09Speaker 1: First, but I could see exept brewing before. It depends
- 10:15Speaker 1: on what.
- 10:15Speaker 2: The airline I'm on.
- 10:15Speaker 1: If I'm if I'm on American, I get the pilots,
- 10:19Speaker 1: don't go on before me.

- 10:47Speaker 1: American got on everybody. I know, mister Hughley and his
- 10:49Speaker 1: party leaving right now. We walked in the white people

- 10:54Speaker 1: I'm a nurse, poor poor.
- 10:59Speaker 2: They treat me good.
- 11:00Speaker 9: I feel white.
- 11:01Speaker 8: I knew.
- 11:02Speaker 2: I was like, is this what it is? If this
- 11:05Speaker 2: what is?
- 11:06Speaker 4: Man?
- 11:07Speaker 2: Come on, oh dear, I mean we're going to New York.
- 11:11Speaker 2: They playing was late. They said mister Higgy would you like.
- 11:14Speaker 2: Someone said I would like a Sunday.
- 11:15Speaker 1: I would like, Uh, I would like actually happen boy?
- 11:18Speaker 1: People walking yes, I said, with extra nuts and chocolate
- 11:22Speaker 1: like and people seeing me walk by.
- 11:24Speaker 5: Wow?
- 11:25Speaker 2: Actually true?
- 11:26Speaker 1: I feel right man. Then they said you want your
- 11:28Speaker 1: other people? Can we treat you? I I don't want
- 11:32Speaker 1: to get used to it. You know, I can put
- 11:34Speaker 1: them in danger. I can put them in danger. Don't
- 11:38Speaker 1: let them taste this greatness. You know, if they see
- 11:42Speaker 1: somebody get treated. You know, it's like if you if
- 11:44Speaker 1: a cub gets touched by human in the wild, that
- 11:47Speaker 1: the mother kills it. If they see somebody from first class.
- 11:54Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying that. So Toski, yes as
- 11:59Speaker 1: the and I guarantee you there are a lot of them
- 12:02Speaker 1: to do it.
- 12:03Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I mean, I out of doubt.
- 12:04Speaker 1: It can't wear do rags, can't wear bonnis, can't wear
- 12:08Speaker 1: the bedroom slipper, any bedroom retired to out.
- 12:11Speaker 2: I guess do you do? You agree? We're going write
- 12:13Speaker 2: to the phones.
- 12:14Speaker 6: So my name is Amer Colin from North Carolina.
- 12:17Speaker 8: I don't see an issue with it.
- 12:18Speaker 6: More especially I graduated from Tuskegee Sister School, Hampton University,
- 12:22Speaker 6: and they had those same rules literally over ten years ago.
- 12:26Speaker 2: So I think it's a very good thing. Although with
- 12:28Speaker 2: something new.
- 12:29Speaker 6: No, my mama didn't walk out the house all crazy
- 12:31Speaker 6: and had me looking crazy. But I do think that
- 12:34Speaker 6: it's something.
- 12:34Speaker 2: Good to prepare for the real and professional world.
- 12:38Speaker 4: I think it should be a rule that they do
- 12:42Speaker 4: not come to school with do rags and pajama pants
- 12:45Speaker 4: and flip flops and things like that. It should be
- 12:49Speaker 4: a rule because they're in school, and hey, come to
- 12:52Speaker 4: school professional. That's what you're in school for. And even
- 12:55Speaker 4: that's going to be a rule years to come in Walmart.
- 12:57Speaker 4: There's going to have to be a dress code for
- 13:00Speaker 4: walmarting years ago.
- 13:02Speaker 10: I think it's ridiculous.
- 13:03Speaker 6: Away all the stuff in pubbling and sitting you know
- 13:06Speaker 6: where they build.
- 13:07Speaker 7: Home just what I think, Yeah, in your house and
- 13:11Speaker 7: not in public.
- 13:12Speaker 4: They have a point.
- 13:14Speaker 10: You know, you have to be prepared for your life,
- 13:16Speaker 10: and that is a private institution. If they don't want
- 13:19Speaker 10: bondess or nothing like that, fine, you know, prepare yourself,
- 13:23Speaker 10: share yourself with dignity. All younger generations these these these
- 13:27Speaker 10: days don't care about how they tuck and roll out
- 13:30Speaker 10: of bed. You know, they have to have some type
- 13:33Speaker 10: of dignity and out in public and be prepared for
- 13:37Speaker 10: the business acumen of your life no matter what. So yeah,
- 13:41Speaker 10: I don't think it's wrong. I don't think it's discriminatory.
- 13:44Speaker 10: I don't think they're stopping their creativity. Be creative on
- 13:49Speaker 10: your time. You know you're paying them to give you
- 13:53Speaker 10: an education. You have to follow their room, so you
- 13:56Speaker 10: don't right and transfer to another school.
- 13:58Speaker 11: Uh, my daughter is a state in a tueskigee, and
- 14:02Speaker 11: I feel like it's okay to go ahead and enforce
- 14:04Speaker 11: some things. If you want to see change, you have
- 14:06Speaker 11: to start looking at the freshman class coming in. So
- 14:10Speaker 11: I think it's okay. Maybe they need to clarify some
- 14:13Speaker 11: things as far as the head dress and wearing caps
- 14:17Speaker 11: on weekends, but I think it's okay to have that
- 14:21Speaker 11: in place.
- 14:22Speaker 2: Now it's time to listen to a libo the streaming
- 14:25Speaker 2: hat boys.
- 14:26Speaker 9: I'm there saying, I mean, honey, all, I'm may see
- 14:31Speaker 9: time me.

- 14:39Speaker 9: The summertime is here in the end.

- 14:50Speaker 9: You know this summing is great if you live in
- 14:52Speaker 9: the suburbs all by the beach, that way is to
- 14:55Speaker 9: cool off. But if you live in the hood, it's
- 14:59Speaker 9: like a survival reality show sponsored by Gatorade and corner
- 15:03Speaker 9: store fans. It is one open fire hydrate party away
- 15:07Speaker 9: from a sweat response. And if ore a video on

- 15:37Speaker 9: Today's movie has nothing to do with the summer, but
