WTF do you actually mean by we need to stop this "black culture" thing? No one says that about German culture, Irish culture, Japanese culture, etc. Yes black is a race, but black also happens to be the name of an entire ethnic group full of 49 million descendants of enslaved Africans. How TF are we supposed to stop being ourselves? It's not our fault white people forgot they are immigrants and also have a culture, it's just the culture your immigrant grandparents or great grandparents brought with them from Europe somewhere. In case you think I'm making up stories, here is a short list of 30 black cultural traditions. Again, how TF are we supposed to stop the following: 1. *Kwanzaa Celebration**: A week-long celebration honoring African heritage and culture, observed from December 26 to January 1. 2. *Soul Food*: Traditional African-American cuisine rooted in African culture emphasizing hearty dishes like collard greens, fried chicken, cornbread, and sweet potato pie. 3. *Gospel Music*: A genre deeply rooted in African-American spiritual traditions, characterized by vibrant vocals and religious themes. 4. *Call and Response*: A musical and cultural interaction where a leader's phrases are answered by a group's response, commonly found in African-American music and speech. 5. *Natural Hair Rituals*: Natural hairstyles celebrating the texture and volume of African hair, including afros, braids, twists, and locs. 6. *Juneteenth*: Commemorates the emancipation of enslaved African Americans in the United States, observed annually on June 19 since the 1800's. 7. *Stepping*: A percussive dance style originating from historically Black fraternities and sororities, characterized by synchronized movements, claps, and stomps. 8. *Spoken Word Poetry*: A form of poetry that often explores themes of social justice, identity, and the African-American experience, performed with rhythm and expression. 9. *HBCU Culture*: Traditions and values associated with Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), including homecoming celebrations, step shows, and Greek life. 10. *Art Forms**: Various artistic expressions such as jazz music, blues, hip-hop, and visual arts that have significant roots in African-American culture and history. 11. *Double Dutch*: A jump rope game played with two ropes that is popular in African-American communities, particularly among children and youth. 12. *Sankofa*: A word in the Akan language of Ghana meaning "go back and get it," symbolizing the importance of learning from the past to build the future. 13. *Black Church Traditions*: Including worship styles, music, and community engagement that are unique to African-American churches. 14. *Black History Month*: Celebrated annually in February in the United States, dedicated to recognizing and honoring the contributions of African Americans throughout history. 15. *Hip-Hop Culture*: A multifaceted cultural movement encompassing music, dance, fashion, art, and expression, originating in African-American and Afro-Caribbean communities. 16. *African Drumming*: Traditional drumming practices and rhythms that have been preserved and passed down through generations in African-American communities. 17. *Folk Healing Practices*: Traditional healing methods and beliefs rooted in African spirituality and cultural heritage. 18. *Storytelling*: Oral traditions of passing down history, morals, and wisdom through storytelling, prevalent in African and African-American cultures. 19. *Spirituals*: Emotional and religious songs sung by African slaves in the United States, later evolving into gospel music. 20. *African-American Vernacular English (AAVE)*: A distinct linguistic variety spoken by many African Americans, encompassing unique grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation. 21. *The Griot Tradition*: Oral historians and storytellers in West African cultures who pass down familial and community histories through storytelling and music. 22. *Black Family Reunions*: Celebratory gatherings that bring together extended family members to strengthen bonds and celebrate heritage. 23. *African Dance*: Various dance styles and movements that originate from different regions of Africa and are preserved and performed in African-American communities. 24. *Barbershop Culture*: Social spaces and community hubs where African-American men gather for haircuts, conversation, and cultural exchange. 25. *Emancipation Day*: Recognizes the abolition of slavery and the emancipation of African Americans in different countries, celebrated on various dates globally. 26. *Basketball Culture*: A sport with deep roots in African-American communities, influencing fashion, music, and social dynamics. 27. *Hoodoo and Rootwork*: African-American folk magic traditions that blend African spiritual beliefs with Indigenous and European practices. 28. *African-American Quilting*: Traditional quilting practices that evolved from African textile traditions and became a form of artistic expression and community storytelling. 29. *Black Panther Party Legacy*: Social and political activism, community organizing, and advocacy for African-American rights and empowerment. 30. *Community Drum Circles*: Gatherings where people come together to play drums and percussion instruments, fostering community bonding and cultural expression.
What the hell do you mean by suggesting we should stop this "black culture" thing? No one says that about German culture, Irish culture, Japanese culture, and so on. Yes, "black" refers to a race, but it also represents an entire ethnic group comprising 49 million descendants of enslaved Africans, and in case you didn't know, we have an entire culture and several languages including Gullah, Tutanese, AAVE, Louisiana Creole and other Caribbean Patois...and absolutely none of it has to do with your average white Americans. Is that why you are upset? Feeling left out? For centuries, our ways were considered dirty, low class and embarassing, but since white people LITERALLY PASSED LAWS BLOCKING US FROM WHITE CULTURE, how are we supposed to just stop being ourselves 400 years later because white people in 2024 are uncomfortable about our different traditions? It's not our fault that some white people forgot they are immigrants who also have their own culture, brought with them by their immigrant grandparents or great-grandparents from Europe. To clarify, here's a list of 29 black cultural traditions. How are we supposed to just "stop" these, and why the hell would we just because it makes you feel awkward that we aren't like you: 1. *Kwanzaa Celebration* : A week-long celebration honoring African heritage and culture, observed from December 26 to January 1. 2. *Soul Food* : Traditional African-American cuisine rooted in African culture emphasizing hearty dishes like collard greens, fried chicken, cornbread, and sweet potato pie. 3. *Gospel Music* : A genre deeply rooted in African-American spiritual traditions, characterized by vibrant vocals and religious themes. 4. *Call and Response* : A musical and cultural interaction where a leader's phrases are answered by a group's response, commonly found in African-American music and speech. 5. *Natural Hair Rituals* : Natural hairstyles celebrating the texture and volume of African hair, including afros, braids, twists, and locs. 6. *Juneteenth* : Commemorates the emancipation of enslaved African Americans in the United States, observed annually on June 19 since the 1800's. 7. *Stepping* : A percussive dance style originating from historically Black fraternities and sororities, characterized by synchronized movements, claps, and stomps. 8. *Spoken Word Poetry* : A form of poetry that often explores themes of social justice, identity, and the African-American experience, performed with rhythm and expression. 9. *HBCU Culture* : Traditions and values associated with Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), including homecoming celebrations, step shows, and Greek life. 10. *Art Forms* : Various artistic expressions such as jazz music, blues, hip-hop, and visual arts that have significant roots in African-American culture and history. 11. *Double Dutch* : A jump rope game played with two ropes that is popular in African-American communities, particularly among children and youth. 12. *Sankofa* : A word in the Akan language of Ghana meaning "go back and get it," symbolizing the importance of learning from the past to build the future. 13. *Black Church Traditions* : Including worship styles, music, and community engagement that are unique to African-American churches. 14. *Black History Month* : Celebrated annually in February in the United States, dedicated to recognizing and honoring the contributions of African Americans throughout history. 15. *Hip-Hop Culture* : A multifaceted cultural movement encompassing music, dance, fashion, art, and expression, originating in African-American and Afro-Caribbean communities. 16. *African Drumming* : Traditional drumming practices and rhythms that have been preserved and passed down through generations in African-American communities. 17. *Folk Healing Practices* : Traditional healing methods and beliefs rooted in African spirituality and cultural heritage. 18. *Storytelling* : Oral traditions of passing down history, morals, and wisdom through storytelling, prevalent in African and African-American cultures. 19. *Spirituals* : Emotional and religious songs sung by African slaves in the United States, later evolving into gospel music. 20. *African-American Vernacular English (AAVE)* : A distinct linguistic variety spoken by many African Americans, encompassing unique grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation. 21. *The Griot Tradition* : Oral historians and storytellers in West African cultures who pass down familial and community histories through storytelling and music. 22. *Black Family Reunions* : Celebratory gatherings that bring together extended family members to strengthen bonds and celebrate heritage. 23. *African Dance* : Various dance styles and movements that originate from different regions of Africa and are preserved and performed in African-American communities. 24. *Barbershop Culture* : Social spaces and community hubs where African-American men gather for haircuts, conversation, and cultural exchange. 25. *Emancipation Day* : Recognizes the abolition of slavery and the emancipation of African Americans in different countries, celebrated on various dates globally. 26. *Hoodoo and Rootwork* : African-American folk magic traditions that blend African spiritual beliefs with Indigenous and European practices. 27. *African-American Quilting* : Traditional quilting practices that evolved from African textile traditions and became a form of artistic expression and community storytelling. 28. *Black Panther Party Legacy* : Social and political activism, community organizing, and advocacy for African-American rights and empowerment. 29. *Community Drum Circles* : Gatherings where people come together to play drums and percussion instruments, fostering community bonding and cultural expression.
As an old Black man, I love what you said, and I will go one further. Black women wear white women's hair, for decades, and not one white woman, has ever complain. To me a lot of BW, are practicing modern day "Jim Crow", I can do whatever I want, but no one else can.
Sir, I respectfully request that you please remember that once upon a time THEY would not allow BW to go out in public unless our heads were covered. THEY exercised a great deal of control over BW's hairstyles & still do to a certain extent. Any BW who has worked in corporate America for a few years can tell you that THEY still have way too much to say about black hair when it's worn in its natural state. So why can't WE say something about how THEY wear their hair when they obviously STILL have too much to say about our hair?
We never wore “white” women’s hair maybe Indian & white women have always complained😑& Another thing if the hairstyle is not made for silky straight hair then it is what it is!
Excuse you. Black women wear Asian and Indigenous hair. No one buys white women's hair. No one is buying a bag of 'thin Kentucky blues' or 'scraggly Idaho flyaways' or "Ohio lice fronts". The hair market is Malaysian hair, hair from India, and hair from Brazil. White women don't even like their own hair. White women dont' even buy their own hair. Please.
Yeah, let's clear this up. Those antique bonnets white women sported back then were basically sun hats, windbreakers, and dirt shields-all about practicality with materials like wool, cotton, and straw. They were strictly outdoor gear, that got ditched indoors, and definitely not slept in to keep a hairdo intact. Meanwhile, black lady bonnets? They're not just accessories; they're bedtime essentials, satin-lined for literal centuries. Our hair's got different needs, not like your silky European strands that can handle any old fabric without a fuss. Ours? Breakage city if we don't wrap it right. So, satin-lined is non-negotiable for us. I get it. You were taught black people hair is tough like brillo pads so 'who cares', but it's delicate AF. You can go ahead with your cotton; we can't. Different strokes for different folks-literally. And no, I'm not saying white women can't rock our bonnets, just that they're worlds apart from what you're talking about. Here's how white women protected their hairstyles for hundreds of years. They didn't really wear bonnets. And when they did, it was old women trying to stay warm at night: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4TUh4nzpKLw.htmlsi=5nxri6PvHJswjs5d
I didn't see the whole video of the girl with her hair twisted up, but to me it looks kind of like pin curls. A long time ago I would experiment with twisting/braiding my hair while it was damp, and then letting it dry, in order to set a heat free style, which I didn't know was even a thing, but lots of ladies have been doing that for a long time. People should feel free to experiment with self care and beauty without being looked down on.
And that's what our ancestors did to wet set! People just wanna find something to be nasty and hateful about. Wish they would just admit they are racist for no reason.
Idk man my 80 year old white auntie still puts her hair in pin curls every night like she did as a little girl. Hair is hair. I don't get why all of a sudden folks are trying to gatekeep hair. A mess
*Pin curls* : hair curled with hairpins. Pin curl demo: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ekfRyISNSoQ.html *Bantu Knots* : a 10,000 year old, very specific culturally significant style tradition rooted in the traditions of Bantu peoples across Africa. Originating from the Bantu linguistic group, these knots symbolize community, heritage, and beauty practices passed down through generations. Bantu Knot demo: ru-vid.comHjNRDgMzO7Q Clearly, the disconnect here is you not realizing that the descendants of enslaved Africans have cultural traditions their ancestors gave them, and your white auntie does not and so she's just doing her hair. Nothing wrong with that, but comparing the two is obtuse AF.
The Black woman was right. I saw the rest of the video where the woman took out the Bantu Knots and her hair was out of sorts. The reason the hairstyle looks good on Black women is because of their hair texture. It’s cultural because it comes from their culture due entirely to their hair texture. There are other cultural and protective hairstyles for straight hair texture people and it’s ok to acknowledge different hair textures and finding out what works best in them. We may all be humans but just like other creations, we all have something different about us that makes us unique as individuals and in groups/cultures.
She should be honest about her hate. She meant all of it as hate. Ima call them what i want. Wear what i want. Nobody has control over what i like. She can be hateful all she wants. Its her decision to be ignorant. Not mine.
