The Official "Ask A Brotha" Thread

[THE MR. TERRIFIC]

My mom is 63 and my Pop is 65 so yeah they lived through it and their views of things are shaped by that and I try to understand that whenever we disagree about certain things in regards to race. One time my mom said that she thought that it was more insulting to be called a ***** by a white guy than a black one and I disagreed with her as I thought that it would be equally insulting. I realized later on that she had experienced a far more racist world than my own so that opinion shouldn't have been surprising.

My mom says she remembers when blacks had to sit in the back of the theater and when schools were integrated. As a 27 year old black female it's hard for me to even believe how horrible things were. I mean we still have massive problems now but I couldn't imagine not being able to go into certain restaurants and having to sit in the back of theaters and buses. It offends me when some people say that blacks should just get over something that happened less than 100 years ago. I mean we are not that far removed from that time.

I didn't know you were black nor female until this moment.

E-Man may answer this but all opinions are welcome;

Weaves- Do you like it when a girl wears them? Or do you prefer their natural hair?

 

[Erzengel]

I like a girl with extensions in her hair.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

What is a "chickenhead"?

"Is pimping easy?"

I personally don't mind weaves as long as they are done right. A lot of celebs wear them, black and white, but you would be able to tell. I don't like a womans hair to look a mess no matter what anyway. So as long as it doesn't look a mess, I'm good.

Bamboo earings, at least two pair.

 

[Pink Ranger]

A Fendi bag and a bad atttitude, that's all I need to get me in a good mood.

Heh. As Louis C.K. said about slavery, "It wasn't even that long ago. It was less than 150 years. That's two old ladies living and dying back to back."

Does anyone here have parents who lived during the civil rights era? If yes. What were their experiences with it?

My dad was a part of the Black Panthers, he's not a fan. Apparently there was segregation, the darker brothers, my dad, and the lighter brothers assignments were very telling. He spent most of his youth in Georgia before moving up to DC/Maryland where he fell in love with a white chick, but of course they couldn't pursue one another.

He also tells me of colored and white sections of the movie theaters, and how he and his buddies would throw popcorn from the balcony.

I didn't know you were black nor female until this moment.

Nobody ever suspects that until I say something. I don't know why but that's always the case with me.

I guess I can understand not knowing I'm female because of I SEE SPIDEY doesn't give any hints but I talk about hot guys so much that I thought that I'd at least be suspected of being a female before a Gay guy.

Well I think gay guys talk about hot guys more than girls do.

Perhaps they thought you were pulling a Lt. Lois Einhorn/Ray Finkle move

It's funny because it's true.

I can see why you put a pinup of Jennifer there as your avatar then: no gay guy finds her that attractive.

I'm in love with the natural look. Give me a girl with some curls and I'm hooked! With weaves it's like makeup. I prefer that women don't wear makeup, but it's such a losing battle that I've accepted it. As long as it's not too caked I'm okay.

With weaves as long as it's not too fake I won't poke fun at it. Some of these girls really go that extra mile to try to make that lie real. I am an expert at telling the difference between real and fake hair.

Personally, I don't like them. If their hair is fake, you don't know what else could be fake about them.

 

[Boy Scout]

White girls or Asians girls.

Which is more of a black man's kryptonite?

White girl + fat ass = one happy black man.

My kryptonite is light skin black girls.

I tend to prefer brown-skinned/light-skinned/mixed girls, myself.

Weaves- Do you like it when a girl wears them? Or do you prefer their natural hair?

I prefer natural hair. But if the weave looks good, then I won't complain.

 

[BizarroAids]

So, for you that answered you don't mind them, have you met many with the different colors included?

 

[MessiahDecoy123]

I always thought a chickenhead was a lower class black girl who is shallow and gossips alot but urban dictionary has another definition.

Who's right?

 

[MessiahDecoy123]

Light skin black girls, white girls and asian girls are all black man kryptonite.

Every black man either secretly covets at least one of those.

Race doesn't factor into chickenhead status.

Nope.

It's because there are no such thing as black females on the Hype. I probably wouldn't believe you if Katie wasn't on uncool hiatus. I figure black females on the Hype is like Highlander. There can only be one.

Meh it's really just another to call someone ugly. That's usually what people around here use it for. I haven't used the term myself. I find two other words much better.t:
