African-American Appreciation Thread - Highlighting contributions from our most productive citizens

I've recently been enriched on black culture thanks to twitter. There's a show called Baddies Caribbean and they're holding auditions like an American Idol type deal. From what I gather with these clips it's literally just black women fighting and embarrassing themselves. I have no idea what the actual show is about

Editing to say: If the twitter caption is to be believed, apparently in the 4th clip in the spoiler the woman being attacked is blind. Not sure if it was a joke or if she really is blind.
Can someone explain the weave thing black women seem to have going on? Is literally every black woman wearing a wig? Why? Are they balding or want extravagant hairstyles and are just lazy?

Black hair is notoriously hard to manage. It's brittle, weak, and never straight. You can't brush it like you can white or asian hair; it'll just break. You ever wonder why so many black women shave their head or have very short hair? It's because black hair is such a pain in the ass to care for.

A weave is kind of like hair extensions mixed with a wig. Their real hair is braded close to the scalp and the new hair is wound into it.

An aspiring basketball player has to choose between partnering up with a drug dealer (played by Tupac) and his brother, a security guard for the high school he plays at. This movie comes from a time when black people could actually be called out for their character flaws instead of praising everything they do.

It also comes from a time when black women in media actually had to be somewhat presentable instead of.....
Yeah, they should do more movies like that. I don't want to imagine a reboot of Boyz N the Hood....

Meanwhile, I spotted this article who might be worth to check an eye.

There’s A Deadly Race War Raging In America​

By Vince Coyner

Sometimes it’s hard to know what exactly to write. I don’t mean in general staring off into space or watching the clouds in your coffee kind of stuff, I mean when you see something so extraordinarily evil that you’re left speechless.
That happened to me last week when I saw the video of a white female student being brutally beaten by a black female student in Missouri. As you’ve no doubt seen, the black girl beats the white girl into unconsciousness and repeatedly slams her head into the concrete. The victim went into convulsions and, as of this writing, is in critical condition in the hospital.
There are two primary questions I had after watching this video. The first was why does no one try and stop the attacker when there are a dozen people around the fight, including at least one person recording a video? The second was what kind of an upbringing make them act this way? These two unanswerable questions melded into a third, which was, why do we see so many videos of blacks acting violently? Beating white people. Beating other black people. Attacking restaurant employees. Attacking cops. Pushing people in front of subway trains. And the list goes on. And on. And on.
On the day I saw this video, I happened to be reading a book called Empire by Niall Ferguson. I was at the point where he compared the actions of the British—which is the empire to which the title refers—and the Japanese in their early 20th-century empire. In particular, he discusses the Rape of Nanking, one of the most brutal and disgusting displays of savagery ever chronicled.
Ferguson doesn’t pretend the British were never brutal. In fact, they were and he discusses it. But he makes the distinction between the British killing opponents during battles—sometimes including unarmed women and children who were peacefully protesting—or the deaths of prisoners from incompetent logistics management and the Japanese brutal, intentional infliction of pain and torture on civilians and POWs alike. There were literally contests to see who could kill more people or do so more quickly or brutally.
Such abuse was never limited to the Japanese, of course. The Germans were equally as evil during WWII. Like the Japanese, their killing beyond the battlefield was often a mix of cruelty, sadism, depravity, and systemized murder. Such evil has been endemic throughout much of human history.
 
the "bias" in pain treatment.
Here's what's going on: there are two types of people.

Type 1: shows up for their post-op appointment and says, "thank you so much for removing that tumor; I am trying to following the guidelines you gave me, but I have to tell you, it's hurting more than I anticipated and the pain interferes with my ability eat, sleep, and move as you directed."

Type 2: shows up (late) for their appointment and screams, "YOU FUCKED ME UP!! THIS SHIT HURT LIKE A M-FUCKER CUZ YOU DIDNT DO IT RIGHT!! YOU GON GIVE ME SOME MEDS RIGHT NOW OR IMMA SUE YO ASS!!!"

One of those people gets more pushback from the doctor. Also, there are racial disparities in the frequency of these types of people.

I guess satire is really reality after all.

Okay, so, we know that the standards for minority hires are lower than for white and asian people. I just have to wonder if that's the point. To make minorities look stupid and incompetent next to actual qualified people.

If you wanted to elevate black people, you would do the opposite. You would hire incompetent white people so the the qualified black guy would look good. It's just designed to make people racist by reinforcing the black=bad pattern. Shit's fucked.

It’s no different than when you’re seeing “prominent“ politicians who happen to be both men and women who are black. Meanwhile, they are either accused of embezzling funds, some form of sexual harassment/assault or undercover flings with people who are seen as a conflict of interest.

It even hurts more when they prioritize “prominent” black women over men, since it subtly shows that they try to emasculate (or de-masculinize) black men who are not involved in gang activity or other forms of violent behavior.
 
Access to Whites is not a right. Fack off back where ya came from, Jamal.

What I found interesting about the documentary is that there doesn't seem to be a point made valid against having the settlement aside from "this reeks of racism/Apartheid".
There is also a part where he remarked that "2 journalists where kicked out of church, allegedly for being black".
He is then invited to interview the pastor of the local church under the conditions that he doesn't enter the church and conducts the interview outside and doesn't interview other churchgoers and immediately proceeds to "strike up a conversation" with churchgoers inside the church.
Naturally he gets kicked out and most of his lined up interviews fall through.

Someone uploaded it to VK if you're interested in watching it

 
It's such a small part of South Africa. If they are such terrible people, ignore them if they are not breaking the law, as I imagine they aren't. You're not entitled to their time. Just admit that you're upset that this small part of South Africa, under the administration of the dreaded white devil, is clean and functioning while the rest of your nation's resources and potential is wasted by your ilk. No one is forcing your people to live in squalor other than themselves. I don't recall the white administration going scorched earth on everything before the hand off, apart from the nuke facilities, and thank God that they did.

it really does display their mindset doesnt it
it's a place they never cared about and don't need, they can live absolutely everywhre except this one location where only whites can live

but they want in
because only whites can live there
and once theyre in and the exoticism wears off theyll most likely bail
"wanting access to whites" is absolutely the best way to describe it

i do feel bad for the few rational black people who can honest to god live and coexist with whites and share their values, having to live among absolute cavemen and suffering because they happened to be born smarter and more capable than their peers
then again this is the sort of thing that sets a precedent, let one guy in and it's a slippery slope from then on...
 
once theyre in and the exoticism wears off theyll most likely bail
ha ha ....no.

If they got in, they would commit crime, and blame it on whites. They'd work less, and blame their poverty on whites. They'd get passed over for jobs for being too stupid, and they'd call that racism.

What they absolutely would NOT do is bail, because they know exactly what the conditions outside that little sanctuary are like.

What I'm wondering is, who owns the land around Oreana? Are they boxed in such that they can never expand? I'm certain the government wont ever sell them any land. I suspect that they are ultimately doomed. Eventually, inevitably, ((((someone)))) is going to start sending truckloads of blacks to congregate outside their town, and the people of Oreana are going to have to fight back, and that will be the excuse to send in the military and destroy the town.
