It's about as clever and funny as it would've been if some stupid white girl had put on a fake 'fro wig and some blackface and tried to talk "black." Racist and stupid goes both ways.....luci

Apparently it's a parody of this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-yLGIH7W9Y
which I thought was a little funny.

The vid in the OP, not so much. I can't imagine anyone doing the hair touchy thing, for starters.

kalikshama seriously!?!?!? The hair thing happens ALL THE TIME! It doesn't even have to be dreads, when I have twists in, I've probably lost count of the times when people have wanted to touch my hair..

Just curious, when was the last time you saw a woman with an afro? And at what point did she put on white face? The wig is actually pretty consistent with all the parodies, where everyone's wearing a wig. And again, look at her other videos, she's only playing it up a little bit, she sounds pretty close to that ordinarily to my ear at least..

If there was a "Shit black girls say to white girls" parody, I would LOVE to see it!

When in my flower of yoot women would come up on the street and viciously want to scratch around in my very curly hair (the last vestiges of which are long gone).

And I was (and still am) as white a cracker as ever lived on the face of the earth, and they was any shade of woman....

I actually see women with natural hair every day at the urban library that I manage and on the streets of the urban area in which I live. I have a sort of one myself.
She didn't have to put on white face. She put on a blonde wig and a valley girl accent. That was every bit as stereotypical and ignorant.
I don't care what she "parodies." It's her right. That doesn't make it funny or appropriate.............luci

Thanks for posting that. I thought it was hilarious and completely spot on. I've heard
all those things and variations.
I didn't sense it was coming from a place
of anger or rage and certainly not racist.
Just a little satire designed to make you think.
Think before you open your big ole mouth
and put your big ole foot in it and insult
someone.
We all say bonehead things on occasion.
Some of the most clueless things are said
when we think we're being all friendly and
open minded. It's not just race but sex, class,
region, gay or the physically challenged.
I have a gay male friend who is out and proud
who gets very annoyed at a female friend who
always greets him by screaming girlfriend!
When I went north to school with my southern
accent I got a lot of bonehead things said to
me.
Once after introductions "You must be one of the more intelligent ones."
"It's not what you said was dumb it's just you
sound dumb with that accent."
I was also asked all manner of questions based
on every cultural stereotype of the south.
I rarely took it as malicious just clueless.
I don't that video was about being malicious
or accusing others of being malicious.
Just a rather gentle parody of people who
do exist. And I don't think a black person
putting on a blonde wig and using a accent
that is generally associated with a white person
is being racist. Not even in the same ballpark
as the crude blackface idiocys of the past.
I imagine videos of gay people parroting some
of the inane things straight people say to them
would be equally illuminating and hilarious.

I have a question:

How come this caused such a firestorm as being racist, when the original didn't get anywhere close to the same reaction as being sexist? I feel like more women looked at the original video and smirked and said "That's kinda true" and took it in good humor. I think the difference here may be that they can live with those barbs, but with this video they feel like they are accused of being racist. That's not true. I think people are hurt and angry when people who don't know them make such an accusation, and just the possibility of the possibility that they are being called racist can get a rise out of people.

I made my comment, not out of racism, but out of the whole concept of the "What --- people Say.
Insert your favourite diss.
I stick by my morons are everywhere comment :)
Soon there will be,
what politicians say
what lefties say
what righties say
what gays say
what lesbians say
what catholics say
what atheists say
What morons say(oops samething)
The possibilities are endless, but just because you can, doesnt mean you should.
except in the whacko pool that is the interwebs. People are stupid, its not something to be proud of, unless you get paid for it:)
Better to be silent and be thought a fool, than prove it beyond a shadow of a doubt
(yes I know thats not the exact quote:))

Hard as it may be to credit, there are a few smart catholics: Kingsley Amis, Flann O'Brien and Andy Warhol spring to mind for a start, and that's without even getting into A list medieval philosophers...

I didn't think the first one was sexist or the second one racist.
Why the difference in the reactions?
Well, the first might have gone down easier
because men dressing like women and parodying
them goes back to ancient times. We're use
to it. And drag queens have mainstreamed it.
But I doubt very many were screaming that
guy hates women. Women are also likely to
have been teased by men in their lives about
some of those things and heard comedians
joke along those lines.
Race is a touchy topic. I think maybe in some
cases the second video may have struck
a nerve because I find it very hard to believe
most people haven't heard someone say at
least one of those things in that video.
Or in some cases said it or thought it themselves.
I guess the upside is people don't want to
be racist or thought of as racist. When the
defenses come up it's good to examine why
but it's challenging at the same time.
I think videos like that are great for starting
dialogues between people. The young womans
background gives her insight I would think.
I think a what black girls say to white girls
video would be interesting to. No need to
run to the barricades.

Also, some white people don't know any black people
socially or intimately. They've never had a
private conversation with a person of another
race. So, maybe that's part of the knee jerk
reaction that she's being mean.
I think when you're use to more of a mish
mash you know how common that shit is.
And you become more aware of and sensitive
to it when you see how it effects people you
know and care about.

Hitler may have been raised Catholic, but he was excommunicated before WWII.

I thought the first vid was funny, even tho i am not current with all the cool terminology younger people use, I thought the blonde wig made it funny too.. I thought the second vid,.. it was funny i guess but not as funny a the first one.. The guy in the wig, was he being sexist or just trying to channel Juliette Lewis???? hmmm

I am white and know things are easier for me than for black people, hispanics, etc.. there are stereotypes, there is racism, there is unawareness.. there is sexism.. I really dont see the point to nit pick stuff apart and analyze every word or phrase looking for those things to be extremely critical & preachy (as happens on the forums at times).. humor is sometimes a better way to point these things out.. Imo, she did the vid to be funny and show some people how ridiculous things that are said can be.. Doing anything like that, will get a wide variety of reactions.. mine is that.. I think it was funny..

Google. It's hardly a secret.

https://www.google.com/search?q=Hitler+was+raised+Catholic&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a

The excommunication was ipso facto, according to the Church.
