That sent me 💀💀💀 the way BOB came out his seat at 08:37 aswell 🤣

@@obibraxton2232 Bob is a mess 🤣🤣

💯

What does that have to do with Sally and what’s wrong with Bonquesha? Because you have internal discomfort with a stereotype doesn’t mean you can tell Sally how she can wear her hair.

@@lemonz1769 Stay out black ppl business.

@@lemonz1769 It's not about internal discomfort. Its about external anti-Blackness that is hoisted upon us. We are already Black in a country born out of racism and oppression. White people's disdain of us wearing our cultural hairstyles can mean we don't get a job, or that we are associated with criminality or poverty.

@@lemonz1769 As well, Sally wearing cornrows is more often than not a costume; at best, it looks silly; at worst, it looks like minstrelsy. Our hairstyles, developed over thousands of years or created in the last 20, ARE NOT FOR COSPLAY.

Although, Katya is trained in karate and Trixie admits to never having thrown a punch in her life.

Dobroe intro is good morning in Russian too

доброе утро works for good morning in russian as well

This needs to be pinned !

Very well said!

So why you still wearing blonde wigs tho I highly doubt you’re that 1 % of black blondes lol

THANK YOU

Sameee! Like even groups on Facebook that be like Black people only have at least a couple yts in there. Like literally no safe spaces at all

real

Finally someone who gets it! I'm Jamaican and it's so annoying seeing people use us to justify cultural appropriation just because most Jamaicans don't care or don't typically have conversations about it, like we don't care cos the vast majority of the population is black, I didn't grow seeing white people just parading around wearing our hairstyles so it just isn't a huge issue for us, but for black Americans who literally live next door to their oppressors it makes sense that they would care more about it and they should. Same with topics about representation.

Sorry, but locks are a viking thing. You didn't invent them. You wish you did, but you didn't. Vikings had dreads WAAAAAY before they even saw dark skin.

@@evand2 Do you have any evidence to back up that claim or did you just pull it out of your ass? Also, do you really think white celebs having locks because they want to pay tribute to the Vikings? Be for real. And the way that you used the condescending tone "You wish you invented it, but you didn't" to talk about the black community is very telling. Go away, George Santos.

@@evand2 shhhh the original comment wasn't even mentioning locs, go fight somewhere else

@@evand2 Where was anyone trying to deny that? Your comment is weird. You're clearly looking to start an issue.

@@evand2 they literally didn’t though. Knots, crown braids, even an interesting braid wrapped around another braid (look up the “Elling woman” braid), and other things like that. We don’t have evidence for locs though.

YAAAASSSSS !!!!!! Bring Mother on the pod !!!!

bob is non binary.

@@JRodrigues95 had no idea. I meant no disrespect, however, I do believe their statement was a bit ignorant and their experience is limited on the topic due to factors out of our control.

@@Symonepayton_ I understand you and I really believe in what you are saying. Im so sry you had to face bullying and discrimination.

…”Heart” means keeper of the lychgate…?? 🌈🫒

I also think that how we internalize our oppression as POC should be factored in. A lot of the willingness to share certain parts of our culture is bc we’ve been told it’s not valuable and/or we’re seeking (yt in particular) validation. Lots of us don’t see value in the things we do until a white person tells us it’s interesting. Obviously this is nuanced, but we can’t ignore how things are legitimized when shared and demeaned when it’s a closed practice.

@@Bri-ns5rm Very good point that I did not think about! It's it's kind of like when a music artist is Indy but then gets way more recognition when they go mainstream. I feel like you can see this changing though and a lot of POC are trying to be more okay with incorporating their culture into these standardized/"whitewashed" spaces without that approval. Ex: There has been a push in people wearing more cultural attire/styles to corporate spaces (ex: patterned shirts with tribal prints).

Lolllllllll

"Correct" lol

This is a stupid take. There is no correct or incorrect, just different points of view.

“There would be no kpop without black people” gurl what

@@jnknknk I think that person is trying to suggest that a lot of K-pop has a rap/hip-hop influence which was created/popularized in the U.S., mostly by black and Latino people. So, modern kpop might sound a bit different if it didn't have that influence.

It’s not only South Korea though. It’s Japan as well and I’m sure other Asian countries. They literally sell traditional wear to tourists. The same goes for European countries. Bob is right, cultural appropriation is a non issue in the rest of the world. It makes sense though because such countries were never ridiculed for their culture and are quite homogeneous, so in reality it’s different playing fields.

thank you! I cringe whenever he says stuff like that or says his skin color or texture is like a “slave’s” in a negative connotation. I know he’s trying to be funny, but it’s honestly just sad.

but because they’re countries and many were victims of colonization there are multiple different races of people living in mexico who are mexican

Why does it have to be a race? It’s not taking away anything if it’s not considered a race.

cultured mütter!!!!!!!!!!

Do you think it's more appropriate for a chinese/japanese person to play a korean character just because they're asian?

This is probably one of the best written KZfaq comments I’ve ever read lol

@@zacharycallaghan7016 Well thank you so much! 😍

The most accurate definition of cultural appropriation in my opinion is "when an opressive/privileged group takes pieces of a marginalized group's culture without respecting and/or giving credit to them." As a mexican american that feels they understand both sides when it comes to the discussion of cultural appropriation, what I believe most non-americans need to understand is that cultural appropriation isn't something as simple like a non east asian person wearing a kimono. Rather, cultural appropriation would refer to *HOW* the person is wearing the kimono. Are they wearing it because they actually appreciate and cherish east asian culture? Or are they just wearing it because they see it as a cute temporary "aesthetic" that they'll throw away like a costume the moment something else catches their attention without never taking time to understand the culture they're borrowing from. Edit: I'll also add some cultures are more acceptable to use than others due to historical context. An example of what I mean is the difference between the use of European culture and Native American culture. As a mexican, me and my people don't bat an eye when an indigenous person dresses in spanish garments because Spain colonized us and forced us to adopt their culture with force. But when a white person wears indigenous garments, we take great issue with that because white people did everything in their power to make the indigenous people hide their culture, so for them to appropriate indigenous culture like a silly costume is like a spitting on their faces.

@@Val17282 I respect your opinion and I agree with some things you say, but not completely... I think it's much more simple than all of that. Culture is global. We're all living in this reality together... saying otherwise is just part of politics and made-up things. It's wild to define people strictly for the place they were born... People are much more than that. All that is in this planet belongs to everyone, or at least it should. That's true wokeness, that's true progression... but people would rather support segregation and individualism because for some people it brings them validation. I agree that if you're disrespecting a culture you shouldn't take part on it... but what is disrespecting a culture, really? You're saying that you can wear a kimono if you're gonna participate in an asian ritual or something but you can't wear it temporarily just for the day lol... how is wearing a kimono just for the sake of it disrespectful, really? I understand some people may have disrespected cultures sometimes and that's not okay, but we can't take the exception to make the rule. If I go to Japan and burn a kimono on the middle of a ritual, I'm being disrespectful. If I just wear a kimono because I like it, I'm not being disrespectful. I'm just wearing a piece of clothing that I find beautiful. It's simple, we make it complicated.

@@rvm7070 The issue I have with the kimono example is that not every garment in cultures has the same sentimental weight to it. The kimono is a garment simply used for celebrations like weddings, more or less like a tuxedo, so wearing it won't cause as much backlash. But wearing a Navajo headdress is not considered okay under normal circumstances, since the garment is sacred garment to the Native Americans and their history, and they hate it when they see a non-native use it casually like a cute aesthetic. I hate myself for forgetting to mention this, but cultural appropriation is also about how privileged people (white people for example) will take things from marginalized peoples' cultures, and never give credit to the ladder and continue opressing them. One prime example of this is white and light-skinned non-black people getting lip fillers, black hairstyles, and acting "black." While these whits/light skinned people will get praise and seen as cool, the black people those trends came from continue to face discrimination, such as businesses/institutes banning them wearing black hairstyles, mocking them for their natural big lips, etc. Are we really creating more segregation, when we're just shining a light on the segregation that was already there? Why do these privileged folks get to be praised when they wear our cultures as costumes, but we get mocked and discriminated when we our own cultures? It is not as unifying as you believe. And not to disrespect you, but I feel your privileged upbringing in Spain (a country with a long history of colonizing and persecuting many countries including my own) is not giving you a full understanding of the issues we're trying address. Spaniards have for a long time used fashion from/inspired from Latinos, but then turn around and still see us as filthy and uncivilized and never give us credit for their trends.

More than likely equipment, and paying people, they have said many times that they have others edit

Explain

Not true, but if Bob was, it would be correct. 🙄

@@Sabior19 Bob literally says what is allowed in the gay community all the time and cancels others constantly. Then still hangs out with fraudrick like giving gatekeeping hypocrisy

As a Jamaican I see nothing wrong with it. I think if you want to keep them in then keep them in! You honoring the culture doesn’t have anything to do with the white people that talk down on black people for the same hairstyles
