some people just got natural swag it aint even about dressing or money they just got this sauce about them

They want our rhythm but not our blues.

A lot of people get mad about the stereotypes with black people being “cool” well you shouldn’t black people DID create it but yes there’s more to black people than just being cool

Black is beautiful, and im Mexican.

As a black American who is in touch with my Nigerian roots due to my parents, I'm very happy to see you guys know some stuff about Africa. I would love to meet these people. Never taught I'd hear a black American talking about Yoruba words and their meanings lol. I need to put you on to some Afrobeat, and gospel. I think what you missed is Africans have a very robust and resilient personality for the most part. They had to due to being hunter gatherers, and so natural selection breeded the most mentally tough people. Not to mention we've faced the worst atrocities in history in slavery, and our people have rose against it and inspired many. We can do anything we put our minds to.

Where has programming like this been for the last thirty years?!????

The difference between buying it or copying it vs waking up that way...or being born with it. 🌬❄️🌊Stay Cool Fam😎💯🤙🏽

y'all should be doing more of these and blasting them through all your networks and websites, who cares about anything else on the network this is the type of stuff our people need

Too Pan African for me lol. Nothing Blacks in America do is related to Africa but I see you guys love keeping that narrative going.

That beige African inspired shirt the host is wearing is absolutely beautiful

We have been the blue print for centuries…we have the brains, the style, the class,the body,the talent,the belief,our hair is different from every other race on earth…that speaks volumes within itself.We’re all connected….we feel each other’s presence were literally an unexplainable mystery…

Pharrell making another appearance @4:38 he is the True Ancient One

Soul isn't something you can put into words or explain, issa vibe. It's in the blood.

Black people are the coolest people on earth😎

The cool you're talking about evolved in America not Africa. They follow the Black American style and swag as well. They imitate us not the other way around. This evolved thru the Harlem rennesaunce and Black power movement. Its our own unique cultural expression here in America that has influenced the world. America is a child of England but don't credit England for what America is. They have Black Africans in England but they follow us too.🤷🏾‍♂️

I find the whole concept quite silly. It's just people seeking validation and attention.

I hate the idea of cool. It is pointless.

Another 🌟 episode, keep it coming!

I keep hearing Hollywood Shuffle. "Im bleeding Johnny, but Im bleeding Coooooll!" Another dope episode! 🙌🏽 #BET Keep this coming!

We are Global African Indigenous people!! Love and Unity is the best key for us all together!!💯 Also Giving thanks to the Great Mother's/Goddesses and Great Father's/Gods and the Ancestors and Guardians!! Saying from Snefer aka Bashiyr!!🤴🏿👸🏿

Black cool is something we LIVE. I love us, and loved this video essay.

This coolness is why people are racist

Love this, thank you for sharing!

We are the original people all culture comes from us

This should be a weekly show on the television channel.

We don't follow trends, we set them.

I luv Foundational Black American culture and soul food

I’m diggin these vids! Klarity great host, name and what he gives! Now that’s Cool😎👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽💯🔥

Bet should just have a history channel point blank

Education> “coolness”. This is propaganda. Wake up my black people ❤

This is Pan-African BS. Africans didn't invent cool Black-Americans did! Cool, as is understood in America, was created by jazz musician Lester Young.

The first time I heard the word "cool" used was in the 1950's when my teenage male cousin described a relatives' success as 'coool'. I would describe my cousin as cool. He wore a conk ..konk, pleated slacks, leather Stacey Adams shoes, walked with the slightest dip and was laid back.

Black is love ..I am black& I proud of it

4:36 Can't tell me that aint Pharrell ancestor there 👊🏾

All Facts, I love it!!!

SAY IT AGAIN. This is Incredible. Thank you for making this. 😊❤️

Why give credit to Africa when we are cooler then they. Like even when we dwell amongst them we (blacks, Hispanics, south, central & north Americans) stand out. I just bet that when they sold us they sold COOL just like if we left America it just won't be C😎😉L

I'm 😎 like that. I'm out. Digable planet's version.📻💄🌺🌸💮 Confidence is 🗝️.

More of this please!

I love this!

Note: cool people don’t feel cool, unless your a comedian . Being cool is being comfortable

I tell you what’s NOT cool: repetitive ads.

90s R&B Singer Mona Lisa Story Up Here!

I’m sitting here like where has this content been? We need this🙌🏾🙌🏾👏🏾

Great content

This is so cool, never thought about it this why. Ive always been told that the black influence is so ingrained into north american society, i just had no idea how. Im currently trying to learn all about it. This is all so interesting and extremely relevant

😎💪🏿💪🏿👊🏿💯 we got the style the charisma and the power to stand out from the crowd

Great show! Love the Pan-African theme of this series so far. I hope they keep it up!

But why everyone copying our culture 🤔

Okay BET present this on tv 🖤

Facts on facts on facts. This articulates that cool "it" factor we as black people have in our DNA like no other race does though. Dope vid, and keep the good black content coming BET networks ✊🏽👌🏽

I disagree. I think black ppls coolness is spiritual. Particularly black Americans, we are the chosen people of God and are His royal priesthood which is why we have been given so much talent and influence. It’s purpose is to inspire the rest of the world to worship The Most High.

Blessed be black!!

Earlyyyy ❤️❤️

The shirt fye! I need that someone drop the link if you know where to get it

Is that Pharrell Williams ancestor on the left @4:37?

We are Elohim chosen people of the Bible Deuteronomy 28 they hide that from us! Yasir we are his chosen people we are peculiar people and wonderfully made and that we are the apple of his eye that's why we're different from the rest of the nations of the world! That to is our hinden History!

💯💯💯💯

Okay BET,this is cool content I live for 😎

I would have thought this was just like propaganda to make black people feel like we started everything all the time but this makes sense because even when you think about like black people in the church older black women loved coming in their sunday's best with their fancy as hats and everything the cutest brooches like we've been doing this forever

A brief history of COOL. In European and Asian history it’s about being Coool and calm in battle or in times of turmoil. I’m African history it’s about that AS WELL as being cool in times we’re things are calm and things are going well.

Great piece! As a people, Morris Day and the Time said it best; "I'm just COOL!"😎

Straight Black Pride 🙌🏾🙌🏾

I have always thought we are the coolest people EVER.

i was looking for a video like this

The cognitive dissonance and xenophobia in the comment section is astounding.

✊🏾

White cool is heavily influenced by Jimmy Hendrix

More more more…teach us more!

Beautiful

Black people have drip.i love them

Bring Centric back

😃 black history month

Are there comparisons between the Nigerian Concept Itutu and the Taoist concept Wu Wei?

I'm cool like black ice even in the summer..

It was the streets and not the entertainers that were cool. The walk was the pimp. The greeting was passing skin. GOUSTERS from Chicago were the cool kids. You can see their dress in Cooley High. The alternatives, also cool, were Ivy Leaguers who wore hair styles called Quo Vadis. Check out what colonialism did to the Congo. Sapeurs of the Congo. Remember when Black men went to war? Tipped hats were off the chain 😍

More!!!!!! 😍😍😍😍 Klarity is GOD LIKE 👍🏾!!!!!!

In my opinion, I think Cedric the entertainer is so cool, I hope he puts out his very own cologne and fragrance products. He looks like he treats his attire and body with a fine-tooth comb, or white gloves. And, the as for this football player named, Michael Strahan, he's another guy, who is statuesque, and the suits he wears are well-taylored, for his physique. As for women, Nicki Minaj and Beyonce always wows me with their bright colors. Their shoe game is ill. LHH star Malaysia and Saweetie, are both top notch, I think they should have their own fragrances and attire lines. And, lastly, I think Teyana Taylor and her husband upon appearance compliment each other well. They both look shiny. I assume they both like oils. Which why their skin is so clear. I think they could make a killing creating essential oils. I'm missing some. But, these people in particular, stand out to me, the most.

Stay cool my brothers and sisters 😎

How do you spell those 2 words?

4.36 is that not pharell lol

Black Americans culture

I agree black people have "cool" ingrained deeply into their culture more than any other and I'd say blacks have a "cooler" personality on average but just a thought for discussion. What do you think about the Brad Pitt, Leo, Clint Eastwood archetype? Isn't that the epitome of cool as well?

Iam black and Iam cool

You're fine sir 🥰

To me cool is self-aggrandizement. Distinguishing yourself from others(standout) in every aspect. The reason we have megalomaniac leaders in Africa fckin the continent up. In the west, look at hip-hop culture. "Am the man''....

I support white culture. 🤭🇺🇸🍻

It was the birth of black cool i'd say in '92. Then basketball was becoming king and Michigan and the Fab 5 were turning the basketball world upside down with the swag and mystique. Rap music was becoming just mainstream with Kris Kross, Warren G and Snoop Dogg emerging and really being the gateway acts that brought it real commercial cred. Then this was when Hood movies were coming out and becoming a part of american sub culture and the black power and Malcolm X was being exploited for the commercial gain to profit and that's my essay on the birth of black cool. years later i find that the people who were boring people and turned to hip hop culture to shed that insecurity are nothing to envy. in the end, there's a certain swag to everyone and capable of being as attractive.

Is single motherhood and lower graduation rates also cool?

Unfortunately, When the s$$ hits the fan my blood 🩸 boils.

what we regard to be "cool" in motion pictures, music or entertainment is the result of an very unique attitude and expression found in black culture, with its origins in Africa, the motherland of life, rhythm and dance. be proud of it

Y’all trying too hard, just live

4:36 y'all see Pharrell?

( The Most High ) GOD ✝️ 😎 🌹

You know its all bias when its only black commentators stating their opinions im not black but ive seen non black individuals being cool by being themselves and having their own unique style they exude a vibe and that what makes somoene cool being cool is a subjective

Black embodies coolness? I mean if your still in high school or a criminal, then yeah i guess so. Lol

Nice

Kinda sad if this is something that is important to you

This: Cool comes from Nigeria and their word for being calm, relaxed, unphased 3rd Century B.C. Stoics: 🤨

I love the terms of cool its 2024 remake this and put the actual term text on the screen so younger gens can look it up and research thank you.
