  Speaker 1: It is the DLU show, the 2026. Connection. This is
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: what happened.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: Do you think it's offensive if I wear braids?
• 0:09
  Speaker 3: Yes, because you don't understand the culture or the meaning
• 0:13
  Speaker 3: behind the braids. White girl with braids just doesn't fit
• 0:17
  Speaker 3: right in my spirit.
• 0:18
  Speaker 4: Like you're literally trying to cosplay me.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: How am I trying to cosplay you when Vikings have
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: been to braids? I'm a Viking with this hairstyle right now.
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: And if anything, you're cosplaying me because you're wearing a
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: wig right now, which doesn't fit right with my spirit.
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: You guys just want to be us so bad.
• 0:33
  Speaker 5: I don't, I don't, I think when I was younger,
• 0:36
  Speaker 5: I didn't like a lot of things. Now it just
• 0:38
  Speaker 5: kind of doesn't matter to me, you know, but I don't,
• 0:41
  Speaker 5: I don't know who wears more fake hair, dudes or women. Yeah, now.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: I can't tell who wears more.
• 0:46
  Speaker 4: For the past two years or so.
• 0:47
  Speaker 5: If I see one dude, one more dude with drill
• 0:50
  Speaker 5: legs he didn't have the day before, I think I'll
• 0:51
  Speaker 5: lose my mind.
• 0:53
  Speaker 4: FYI too now, not just hair, but you know, men
• 0:56
  Speaker 4: also do all of this, the beard and the mustache.
• 0:58
  Speaker 4: You can get the whole, you can get your.
• 0:59
  Speaker 6: Whole new face.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: I know somebody with a turkey and got it.
• 1:02
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 1:02
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: A beard transplant.
• 1:05
  Speaker 4: Where do you transplant?
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: Where do they bring... Oh, I don't know where it is.
• 1:09
  Speaker 8: I don't know.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: I don't know where it is, but I know.
• 1:12
  Speaker 5: You know, listen, whatever you want to do, but I
• 1:15
  Speaker 5: think that the greatest form of flattery is imitation, right? Yeah.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: Remember Michael Bolton? He just did the Eileen Brothers like
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: it wasn't there. There's a long list of others. Like
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: I'm saying, they just.
• 1:29
  Speaker 5: Milton Berle used to go to the black comic, the chitlin' circuit,
• 1:33
  Speaker 5: and watch black comics and steal their jokes.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 1:36
  Speaker 5: So it's just not, you know, it's always, you know,
• 1:40
  Speaker 5: you live in this level of proximity with people.
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: Well, yeah, I was about to say, you're going to
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: have some lead over, for sure.
• 1:45
  Speaker 5: Yeah. So does it bother you when white people wear
• 1:48
  Speaker 5: traditional black hairstyles? I mean, even like when they wear
• 1:52
  Speaker 5: close cuts, you know what I mean? The way they
• 1:54
  Speaker 5: wear a face, that's us too.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: Mm-hmm.
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: It is.
• 1:58
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: I don't necessarily care. I'm not going to tell you
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: the truth.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: Not at all. I don't care.
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: Do what you want to with your hair. It's growing
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: out of your scalp. You can fry it. You can
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: dye it. You can lay it to the side. That's
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: your business. I don't care.
• 2:08
  Speaker 5: Now, I think that you should have the commensurate credit
• 2:10
  Speaker 5: score when you wear black hair.
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: Well, let me ask you something. Does that also go
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: the other way? You say I got white hair, which
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: I don't, by the way.
• 2:20
  Speaker 11: Well, you do.
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: I'm just saying.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: Do you know what happened yesterday?
• 2:24
  Speaker 5: I think it was something I thought about when I
• 2:28
  Speaker 5: was when, you know, we were doing the show yesterday.
• 2:32
  Speaker 5: But I got a table this and get to this question.
• 2:36
  Speaker 5: Does it bother you when people wear black, traditional black hairstyles?
• 2:40
  Speaker 5: That's the question we pose to you. We go right
• 2:41
  Speaker 5: to the phones.
• 2:42
  Speaker 12: I do have a problem with it.
• 2:44
  Speaker 9: And the reason that I do is because when I
• 2:46
  Speaker 9: was a little girl in school, my mother used to
• 2:48
  Speaker 9: put plaque, that's what we called it, in my hair.
• 2:51
  Speaker 9: And I was sitting in front of a white.
• 2:53
  Speaker 12: Girl after we had integrated, and she.
• 2:55
  Speaker 9: Touched my plaque. And she said, what is this? I
• 2:58
  Speaker 9: turned around and I slapped her hand. So then again,
• 3:01
  Speaker 9: I got in trouble for it because she made fun
• 3:05
  Speaker 9: of the way my hair was back then. And those
• 3:08
  Speaker 9: were flat. So now you see them wearing French braids
• 3:11
  Speaker 9: just like I had when I was a little girl.
• 3:14
  Speaker 9: And they want to do that. Also, you want to
• 3:16
  Speaker 9: go in a tan booth and they want to tan.
• 3:18
  Speaker 9: I watched them at the gym go in and out
• 3:20
  Speaker 9: of the tanning booth. apparently they have a problem.
• 3:23
  Speaker 13: With the color of their skin.
• 3:25
  Speaker 9: So they want to be brown also. Anything we invent
• 3:28
  Speaker 9: or create, like the chest bumps, the handshakes, they do
• 3:32
  Speaker 9: it too now. So we never copy anything that they
• 3:35
  Speaker 9: invent because they don't invent anything. So I do have
• 3:38
  Speaker 9: a problem with it. They need to stick to their
• 3:39
  Speaker 9: own little straight horse tail hair.
• 3:42
  Speaker 14: I think it goes both ways, and that if we're
• 3:45
  Speaker 14: going to be mad at them for wearing our styles,
• 3:48
  Speaker 14: then we got to do the same when we put
• 3:50
  Speaker 14: all that grease and methane on it and permit. You know,
• 3:53
  Speaker 14: it works both ways. It's a double-edged sword.
• 3:56
  Speaker 13: Well, I don't think that we should have a problem
• 3:58
  Speaker 13: with other cultures using our hair care products because look
• 4:02
  Speaker 13: at us with our nails. Look at us with the
• 4:05
  Speaker 13: Asians teaching us about all this hair we eat. It's
• 4:09
  Speaker 13: like we went back in the day in the 80s.
• 4:11
  Speaker 13: I don't even think our people even everybody was blue eye,
• 4:15
  Speaker 13: green eye. I mean, we want to do what everybody
• 4:18
  Speaker 13: else is doing. But as soon as they want to
• 4:20
  Speaker 13: do what we consider our culture, then we have a
• 4:22
  Speaker 13: problem with it. And I don't mind if a white
• 4:24
  Speaker 13: lady is in the hair care products because she may
• 4:26
  Speaker 13: have one of them brown curly hair babies. You know,
• 4:29
  Speaker 13: we don't want to always talk about that. Even though
• 4:31
  Speaker 13: she's white, she may have our kids at her home
• 4:35
  Speaker 13: that she needs to learn how to properly take care
• 4:37
  Speaker 13: of their hair.
• 4:38
  Speaker 10: I don't think it's a problem, you know, because I
• 4:41
  Speaker 10: think we set the standard for what is cool.
• 4:43
  Speaker 14: So I kind of appreciate that they copy it.
• 4:46
  Speaker 15: Actually, I don't think I have a big problem with
• 4:49
  Speaker 15: them wearing the braids. Actually, I love braiding on white girls'
• 4:53
  Speaker 15: hair because it turns out so beautifully. I know it's
• 4:58
  Speaker 15: off topic, but I actually hate when they date our men.
• 5:01
  Speaker 15: I know that's bad. I'm not racism or anything like that.
• 5:05
  Speaker 15: I just feel like they're trying to eliminate us.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: And that's all. So this is the audio.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: Do you think it's offensive if I wear braids?
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: Yes, because you don't understand the culture or the meaning
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: behind the braids. White girl with braids just doesn't fit
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: right in my spirit. Like you're literally trying to cosplay me.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: How am I trying to cosplay you when Vikings have
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: been to braids? I'm a Viking with this hairstyle right now.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: And if anything, you're cosplaying me because you're wearing a
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: wig right now, which doesn't fit right with my spirit.
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: You guys just want.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: To be us so bad.
• 5:36
  Speaker 10: All right.
• 5:36
  Speaker 5: So does that bother you when some white people wear
• 5:38
  Speaker 5: traditional black hairstyle?
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: That's the question we're posing to. We're going right to
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: the phones.
• 5:42
  Speaker 7: Well, let's play reverse psychology.
• 5:43
  Speaker 16: We're not going to talk about black people wearing, you know,
• 5:48
  Speaker 16: white people trying to be black, as you say. I'm
• 5:51
  Speaker 16: going to play reverse psychology and say, why do black
• 5:54
  Speaker 16: people want to be white? Why don't y'all wear your
• 5:56
  Speaker 16: natural hair? Every black woman I know have weave.
• 5:59
  Speaker 7: That's not natural. That's not their hair. You can't touch
• 6:02
  Speaker 7: their scalp and why they wear contacts. They trying to
• 6:04
  Speaker 7: be white. Actually, it's not white people trying to be black.
• 6:07
  Speaker 7: It's actually black people trying to be white. Everybody you
• 6:09
  Speaker 7: know wear a wig.
• 6:11
  Speaker 12: And a wig is not a natural African-American woman's hair.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: It's not at all.
• 6:14
  Speaker 7: We need to be for real with ourselves.
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: I want to ask everybody that.
• 6:17
  Speaker 7: Why are we trying to be white?
• 6:20
  Speaker 12: Why are we not wearing our real hair.
• 6:22
  Speaker 7: Color and our natural eyes? We want contacts and we
• 6:25
  Speaker 7: want to wear wigs. That's of European race.
• 6:28
  Speaker 11: Everybody wants to be a n * * * a,
• 6:30
  Speaker 11: but nobody wants to be a n * * * a.
• 6:32
  Speaker 11: They want to copy us, but they don't want to
• 6:35
  Speaker 11: be us because they don't want to have to go
• 6:36
  Speaker 11: through what we go through being black. But I wouldn't
• 6:39
  Speaker 11: want to be anything other than black, and I'll take
• 6:42
  Speaker 11: the struggle and the strife because.
• 6:44
  Speaker 14: I'm with my people.
• 6:46
  Speaker 8: I feel that whatever they want to do is fine
• 6:49
  Speaker 8: with me. I mean, if they want to wear our style,
• 6:52
  Speaker 8: that's fine, because we certainly have copied their style. We
• 6:56
  Speaker 8: want the straight hair, so we go out here and
• 6:59
  Speaker 8: borrow their hair, and then people are bleaching their skin.
• 7:02
  Speaker 8: So I feel if this is what you want to do,
• 7:05
  Speaker 8: do it. I mean, I have no problems with whatever
• 7:07
  Speaker 8: people want to do.
• 7:09
  Speaker 10: If black women can wear white-style long hair, which is
• 7:13
  Speaker 10: not natural to black, why can't they wear any style
• 7:16
  Speaker 10: they want to wear?
• 7:18
  Speaker 9: Okay, what's the difference?
• 7:19
  Speaker 10: That's the same difference.
• 7:21
  Speaker 12: I don't have an issue with them copying our hairstyles,
• 7:25
  Speaker 12: copying our clothing, our swag or anything. I say go ahead.
• 7:29
  Speaker 12: You know, it shows that they like our style. They
• 7:32
  Speaker 12: like the African-American, how we dress and how we do.
• 7:36
  Speaker 12: And I think that's okay. But if they really want
• 7:38
  Speaker 12: to feel it, shoot, go into the bank with black
• 7:41
  Speaker 12: and get denied. And then you're going to really know
• 7:43
  Speaker 12: what it feels like to be a black person. But
• 7:45
  Speaker 12: as far as them dressing and looking, that does not
• 7:48
  Speaker 12: bother me at all. I think it's a great thing.
• 7:50
  Speaker 10: And I'd just like to say we have a lot
• 7:52
  Speaker 10: of nerve getting mad at white folk wearing black hairstyles.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: And this is the reason.
• 7:56
  Speaker 10: I just walked down the street today and I saw
• 7:59
  Speaker 10: 17 black women with blonde hair. I mean, with white hairstyles.
• 8:03
  Speaker 10: And we wear just as many of their hairstyles. We
• 8:05
  Speaker 10: don't have that many. They can't do too many of
• 8:07
  Speaker 10: our hairstyles with their hair. But the ones they can do,
• 8:09
  Speaker 10: they do with the dreads, with the curls and, you know,
• 8:12
  Speaker 10: things like that. But I think we should get just
• 8:14
  Speaker 10: as upset about these black women wearing white women hairstyles.
• 8:18
  Speaker 17: I am of color. I do not like it. They
• 8:22
  Speaker 17: have taken everything from us, including taking a bath.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: So, yeah, I don't like it.
• 8:28
  Speaker 17: They have taken everything, our dance, everything, music, everything, our language.
• 8:35
  Speaker 17: I mean, at one point in time, you wouldn't hear
• 8:38
  Speaker 17: that on like Channel 5, but now you hear all
• 8:41
  Speaker 17: this black music and all of this stuff. So, no,
• 8:45
  Speaker 17: I don't like it.
• 8:46
  Speaker 10: My God, how many black folks wear traditional white folk hair?
• 8:52
  Speaker 10: We spend all our money on it.
• 8:53
  Speaker 11: But I say, do what you want to do. Double standards.
• 8:57
  Speaker 12: My issue is this.
• 8:58
  Speaker 18: I do have a problem because everything that we are,
• 9:01
  Speaker 18: they say they hate, and everything they hate, they try
• 9:04
  Speaker 18: to be. Get our complexion, get our rear ends, get
• 9:07
  Speaker 18: our hair, get everything that we have, but they hate us.
• 9:12
  Speaker 18: And even like our black men, but they hate black people,
• 9:16
  Speaker 18: but they want to have all of our characteristics.
• 9:18
  Speaker 10: That's sad.
• 9:25
  Speaker 5: That boy Trey is here to let us know what
• 9:27
