Love it!!

Any leftovers? I’m from Baton Rouge but live in Denver.

@@mrgqguy ha ha sorry no, we ate it for breakfast, lunch and dinner! 🔥💚💜💛

That's exactly what we're doing. Tho, we had shrimp poboys and roasted peanuts w/ cotton candy 🎉 Checking in from Loveland, Colorado ❤ in 2024 Happy Mardi Gras Ya'll. Hope to see ya'll at Lucille's in Fort Collins it feels like home

Wakanda is fictional it has nothing to do with the Zulu, NOTHING

Respectfully, me not being from New Orleans, is the face paint style and Afro wig a Zulu tradition for many years? Some awesome floats! Great dancers and bands, too.

@@amyhayutin1738 Yes, it’s a long time tradition.

@@amyhayutin1738to piggyback off of his statement, the Blackface has several meanings. First it was to “mock” the “mock” of whites to Blacks. Secondly when the African ancestors went to war, they would paint their faces to fight as well. My logic is that the whites got wind of this, and began to make fun of Blacks in minstrel shows. Third, when the organization was founded, they could not afford to purchase masks, which is a requirement to parade in Orleans Parish. So if they wanted to parade, they had to do what they had to do. Today it’s a tradition and most of all it pays homage to their brave founders.

Throw me something mista! 🎉❤🎉

wear comfy shoes. stay hydrated.

It’s even better when you ride in the parade.

@@AHK86 how does an outsider make that happen? 🙂

@@letmesing6868 wish I was so there’s three weeks ago I would’ve had you on the float. I will be on the Zulu float.

So, Mardi Gras goes back to almost the founding of New Orleans. The krewes, with a K they they run the Mardi Gras parades. MG is great a festive season for everyon whether you were French, Spanish,wItalian, or Irish, I was Scottish or a slave, or Haitian, or African, everyone celebrates Mardi Gras. However, there is discriminat😮😮ion in Mardi Gras and the clubs that put on the elaborate parades are private clubs and still are private clubs . I remember being a young black child in New Orleans, and the favoritism shown to the white children was hurtful. Blacks were never able to join those white clubs, so, black citizens of New Orleans created the Zulu club. And essentially dressed up as what white people thought Africans were in mockery. The Zulu club was created and never had a parade schedule as it was illegal for blacks to be other than thrown to. So that is the tradition, and that is why we dress in mockery still, and that is why I will parade is the first Mardi Gras day because we were not supposed to parade. And because all clubs are integrated now, the whites and blacks wear the Zulu make up.

I didn't go this year

Sure. Please credit

@@ShowtimeWeb Thank you so much!

I'm from south africa in a Zulu tribe thanks for sharing this info......which means we are all zulus 😅❤.....

If you were in some parts of Africa, they would call you Mixed... You're not the same race as Viola Davis and Angella Summer's

I'm sorry to break it to you. But You're not Black. You look Mixed... The U.S. Government needs to be charge, for putting Mixed People in the Black Category. I do not accept the One Drop Rule. You should be mad at European American's, for putting you in the Black Category..

Actually that's what Black People👨🏿👩🏿 actually look like. Dark Skin, Afro Texture Hair and Features... You're a Mixed Woman, mimicking Black Women features at a parade

You know they celebrate racism in the US

It’s not nonsense, it is tradition.

I'd also like to do the same, it's like they are mocking our tribe. At least use a different name, not Zulu. How can you be Zulu and do those things? I bet they don't even speak IsiZulu😒

You do not understand Mardi Gras, you are not in New Orleans , we are not mocking the Zulu’s. We are mocking white people.

Then why you watching then ?

@@terrellmackvideos Because I accidentally press the wrong video! And I didn't watching it I just made a comment that I hate that terrible state and city!

Louisiana doesn't care

@@johnh8705 Good because Lousiana and New Orleans can go straight to HELL!
