You know there's an interesting video we're going to review here. Um i saw, and this video is quite telling because, as we seen more and more um immigrants come in from the african continent. You know one thing they have. There is tribalism, and tribalism is very heavy in a lot of those countries, and tribalism hurt their nations. They cannot work together, a lot of them to solve the problems in their nations. How they vote politically is oh he's, part of my tribe, so i want to go vote for him, not that okay, who's, the best brother or sister to do the job, no he's part of my tribe and if he don't win or whoever don't win or now We'Re about to be fighting in the street, you know we talk about january. The 6th with a lot of elections in the african continent is january, the 6th every single time they be having days upon days of people fighting attacking each other killing each other, because they particular party didn't win. I mean it's crazy. Okay, what i'm saying is the tribalism well we're seeing more and more of that come here, and i want you to watch this video real, quick, we'll review it together, but this this is. This is um, something that's very, very interesting here. We don't hire american braiders here, huh why you saw she shook her head. No, we! We don't hire americans black american is a black american woman who's whose people fought and died for her to have a chance to come here to america to get out of the place where they come from, where they feel they can't make it and then the people That come to say, hey. I want to work with y'all. No. You said i already right. Yeah yeah. We don't we didn't shop, i pray yeah, so yeah i don't have american the writers. No, we don't have it today, who's the owner. Do you all? Have american writers in here she said: you don't have american braids. Is that true? Yes, you don't? Okay, that's discrimination! You know that. But before you before, you say no, you need to think about what you're saying for you're not to hire an american raider. That'S discrimination! Now you heard now you heard that excuse always another american breeder coming here and asked no, no, no! No, but they're asking you now and you just now said that we don't hire american braiders here. First of all, you're in the united states of america, that's illegal! If you would discriminate, then they can also go file on you and sue your business as well. You'Re, not where you come from now the accent sound west african. It don't sound like an east african accent. I don't know what country. If i knew their names i mean i don't want to assume you know what country they're from i mean it looked like. You know some clothing i've seen in nigeria, but you know i don't want to just assume that, but i know the west african for sure. But this is what we're talking about see black americans, you know, have been open. Arms want to reach out to everybody and when they come here to these nations, they don't want to be bothered with black americans say, don't even hire a black american. Well, if it wasn't been for black americans, none of y'all be having that shop. Were you comfortable in okay? You wouldn't be in that shop comfortable. You wouldn't be making money you'll be in your homeland. You understand now. This is not an indictment on all brothers and sisters that come over here. The brothers and sisters that come here. They they get. It they understand america for what it is they on code with us here, i'm not talking about those brothers and sisters at all, none of them. They got plenty to watch our channel even on the african continent. They support us and i - and i definitely you know, will always unify and support them right. I'M a firm believer of i will unify with the uncold brothers and sisters right now today, tomorrow and any other day. But people like this that come over here and be the main ones telling their children. I don't know why. Y'All out there talking about george floyd and black lives matter, they don't make sense. They should they need to go to work. They need to stop being lazy. You understand what i'm saying: use them saying: white supremacists talking points see the main reason: what you're seeing now, where a lot of black americans and i'm understand, i understand where it's coming from what they're saying don't call me african-american call me black americans, because you have More of an influx of black immigrants here now than what it used to be, and so black people definitely got to solidify themselves as our own. You know ethnic group, but this is the dangerous thing that black immigrants are playing with this. The danger is you're, not in your home country, and i don't know why is it so hard for y'all to get that? I don't know why your skull is so thick you're, not in your home country and because you're, not in your home country and you in america something's going to happen. Well, you need the backup of black america and when black america see you pulling the stunts like this listen, we we we get the white supremacists doing things like this, but you supposed to be black like us. You both are coming here and be on cold with us, but when a brother or sister want to come work with you, you sitting up here, saying we don't hire americans. Well, you only hire people within your tribe. Like i say, look if you tribal, you need to stay out of america because it's not the place for you, i'm telling you. You will run into a bunch of problems with that tribalism and that been going on and we have never said nothing about it. We stay quiet about it, y'all come in here you go. You go stay in your own little communities away from black america. You don't want to integrate your black america. You don't want to do not your kids. You know i'm talking with your first generation kids because they a lot of times they get it because they've been here, they grow up here. They say: oh shoot. You know and they're more in a you know, immersed with black america, but you know people that just come. You know off the off the plane off the boat. You know you still get a little tribalism in the head, but this right here this isn't it. This isn't it and in black america was to you, know, start pressing them and saying: okay, don't don't know black people go over there and and call them folks on them for openly discriminating on camera, like the dumbest thing ever is to openly discriminate on camera. Even white folks are smarter than that they discriminate, but they try to do it covertly. You know what i'm saying. I'M saying i mean and, and the big deal is i know some of y'all responding, saying we don't care about them, xyz, no, no! No! No! No! I'M always going to address these things when they happen, because you know what we need to show this other brothers and sisters, that's on the african continent and watch these shows. Okay - and i want them to see what we're talking about - see, brothers and sisters who could be watching on the african continent see this? Is the people we're getting? Not the people that i go and see when i'm on the african continent who's welcoming? Who want to be on code, who just some great brothers and sisters? It'S not the people that i go talk to that's in this video. If these kind of people was over there, i wouldn't. I would be the first one to tell you. I mean y'all stay away from that, don't you go down, but no, when i go with all love, unification support, it's just genuine. You know what i'm saying so like i said, i can't wait to get to kenya. I can't wait. I got not too long we'll be in kenya. In november, we've got two spots left on that trip. If you like to go 12 days, get some rest and relaxation away from white supremacy. Trust me, you will really love the beaches. The beach is like nothing else. Tomorrow, you ain't got karen harassing you're, calling the white police on you when you're just trying to enjoy yourself, but these people right here this is the immigrants that we get see. I'Ma tell y'all white supremacy, selects these people, because what y'all don't know is they have long wraparound lines at the at the american embassy to get a visa? These people screen them. They don't even allow black americans to even become ambassadors. Have you realized that if you look at the all the ambassadors, the majority of them, if not all, all of them are white? Why is it that even biden right supposed to be your friend? Why don't he send some black americans to be an ambassador for united states because you know why they probably thinking oh shooting only too many blacks over here with visas. They screen these people. They want the raccoon class and these same people right here. Weren'T doing no good where they come from, that's what they i've been told. When i was there and said mo a lot of them, people that's coming over to the us, they've been selected and they were no good where they had now. You may have some come in that slip underneath the radar - that's that's, that's cool, but a lot of times you got ta. You got ta, really look at them, see where they coming from this. This is where you get all this akata talk and all that from right is because the us selects these people to come in here. This is not like the latin american thing, where it's just a free-for-all: everybody bum rushing! No, it's not that situation. This is different. That would they, this is, who they selected they're, not going to select people that think, like julius malema they're not going to select. You know those brothers and sisters. You know in the eff they're not going to select them. Then one thing about south africans and they ain't trying to come over here i'll talk to many, i'm saying: no, i don't know america, they say i probably go visit one day, but i'm i only have to visit i'm good in south africa kind of how a Lot of black americans are, you know i visit places, but i'm not really trying to do too much but, like i said for me just my experience, you know and i've had other other um. You know certain people from different african countries making comments about it. When i say man, south africa, man, i love my brothers in south africa because they get it. They get it. I understand where they come from. You know we got a kinship. I clicked real, quick with them. You know and everything because of that that shared kinship, i'm pretty sure it happened like that namibia because they got to share kinship in namibia. You know probably definitely zimbabwe. I can't wait to visit zimbabwe. You know anything with the white supremacists and, and just that kind of you know legacy is something that we just click real, quick like that. It'S just like a spiritual connection, those brothers and sisters - but you know the these here that they sent this on this screen. Here these are the ones that the united states are letting in this country, and then they come over here, causing confusion and causing havoc. Because you see see this is the ones here that they they will uh uh put a lot of money behind cause, which i don't know they put money behind these people a lot of times. Where do they get these businesses from they just come over here? They get businesses where black americans can't get businesses. How is it they getting business loans and all kind of money? They come over here with not much money at all, but yeah. They. You know businesses. This happens with a lot of immigrants. They come here with nothing and they got a business, and black americans can't even get a business loan. It'S all done by design. It'S all done by design and see. The thing is about the immigrant situation. Is this: they get it's a few things one. They got more power over an immigrant because they can kick them out of here. That'S number one, they kick, they can't kick me and you out of here, like that. We citizens number two because they just want to come here and work, a job or some sort of business or whatever they're eternally grateful they're not going to talk about white supremacy, they're not going to talk buck the system they're not going to do anything matter. Of fact, because we talk about the system, we speak against the injustice they look at us as the problem. This is all immigrants. I don't care what color they are. This is all immigrants. Black people are the problem because you trying to mess up my little job. Even though they could be screwing you, but my little job, my little business that i get money and sent back to my home country, but at the same time, some of them want to play this. That want to play both sides too, and that's one thing that we got to stop all a lot of immigrants from doing this, the latinos we have stopped them from doing that. Crap um black immigrants. We got ta, stop them doing that crap either either you're gon na be on on our side or you're gon na be over there with them folks, but you're gon na have to pick one because see what's happening right now. I got another video i want to cover where this dominican woman is saying she kind of get bothered, because you know she's being forced to pick a side yeah. You got to pick a side, yeah yeah, that's what we at right. Now you got to pick a side either you're going to be with black people or you're going to be with them. Folks, it ain't no in between and if you're trying to say i don't want to be. Oh, you saying that you don't want to be a black folks. You already chose you already chosen, don't get mad when people ask you a question. We just want to know where you stand. So we know you with us against us because we're not going to have no moles and rats all around us like that, just because they got black skin like us, you understand. No, you do need to establish where you at you do need establish i'm black. So i'm i'm gon na definitely team black. I can't opt out. You know, i got no opt out, but these right here don't wan na hire. No, no! No black people! Okay, that's fine! Well, just don't go there. Do they spot? That'S all don't go to their spot to everybody stay out of there and um if their sister decides to report them is on her, but that's completely foul stay in your country. If you want to be tribal stay around your tribal people and that way you only hire your own and nobody won't say anything about it because we're not even over there but yeah this this. This is some of the things that's going on uh, ladies and gentlemen and um yeah. We got to call this mess out another, and let me ask you a question that people like to say the word divisive is: isn't this divisive, because when black americans talk about okay, we're going to just kind of worry about what we got going on and focus On ourselves, that's - or we were you - know, kind of told - that's divisive to do, but are y'all gon na call this divisive, because this is extremely divisive, extremely you come in in another country and want to be discriminatory to the people to help get you here. That'S not pan-africanism, but the reality - and i said this before the majority of people in the african continent - do not practice pan-africanism that was birth in america. Marcus garvey got that you know and all that movement that happened here. Black people have all in america, have always been the most forward-thinking black people. Let'S call it what it is. We always been ahead of the curve always and everybody else had to catch up. If you just studied history, that's really what it was we fought. We got free with the civil rights movement and all of a sudden, all these african countries started getting independence. You notice that every time we do something it is spread over there, but the black people, that's on the continent that believe in working together in unification. I'M with you, like you, know, um. You know julius malema talks about that in the eff i'm with them on that and other brothers and sisters say i will always work with brothers and sisters they want to unify, and i guess i told y'all before i have you know african brothers and sisters working With me, you know to make these shows and it works very well, so we all can work together. We just got to pick the right people non-code people, but these people here that you see in this video yeah we got to call them out. We can't just only call out the white supremacists um and they know better than what they doing all that you ain't my people and all this other stuff. You know no! In america you come underneath our um program here when we go to your country, we're going to your program like when i go to other people country wherever the program is. I follow the program. I don't come here with some to nobody's country or something contrary to their program, but over here they want to come over here and act like they everything else with black and until them folks show them. Then they want to cry. Oh black people. Well, we all lit you know we need to help like no, no, no, no, you you, you say you're a particular tribe and you're, not black, and you know our culture and all that you know. Well, you know let your culture get you out of trouble with them folks. Well, we good you know our culture. Do we normally do but yeah this this? This is utterly sad. That'S early said i never thought i never thought a day in my life. I would see people that look no different than me would be acting this way like some freaking white supremacists. I never thought i'd see today. This is this, is this is a new one on me um, but i just you know where i grew up and most of us hey, we all black. We all stick together, but these people come into this country. Oh, no! No! No! No! No! Even though they look just like you, you like that woman that you didn't if they didn't open their mouth, they look no different than somebody. Ain'T, tease or grandmas or whatever in this. In this thing, come on now did that other woman take off that african clothes. She got on you know, but anyway, ladies and gentlemen, thanks for joining us on the broadcast, we greatly appreciate it make sure you click the subscribe button.

Mr. Coach: This is one reason why I stop patronizing their braiding salons 10 years ago. Those African females do NOT like or care for African American women. They talk about black women while braiding their hair in their language, they over charge for their services and they are rude asf. My daughter use to get her hair braided all the time from their braiding salons and the stories tshould would tell are horrifying, so now she braids her own hair and my wife's hair too. Which I'm so proud of her today.
Jupiter Rain: As an American woman with African blood I would have to say THANK YOU to these ladies. A lot of them braid too tight even if they see that they are hurting their clients. They charge too much for simple styles (the same price as a more time consuming style). They talk about and laugh at Americans in their language. This is just a short list but bc of these things American born African descendants started braiding their own hair. American sisters take their time. American braiders will make adjustments if the style is painful. I’ve never had pain after an American braided my hair. But bc of mindsets like this American sisters took matters into their own hands and opened their own shops. So again thank you to those with this mindset. Even though inclusivity is the only reason you have this wonderful opportunity. I’m glad to see the faces. Who else thinks like this? Speak up so we will know who NOT to support.
Indy Minded FBA: This is exactly why I avoid all of these African hair braiding places here in metro ATL and work to find Black American braiders. This needs to go viral because if they don’t want to hire Black American braiders, we shouldn’t patronize their businesses. It’s just that simple!!
Lavar P: I find it ironic how some of these foreigners are calling black Americans xenophobic yet we don't do things like this and in the U.S not hiring someone on the basis on their nationality is illegal so no they don't have that "right". And foreigner models were also banned from being models in an African country which is also a form of discrimination and xenophobia but yet we're called xenophobic. Black Americans don't have a problem giving foreign black people jobs or supporting their careers in the entertainment industry.
Jacqueline James: That just shows how much respect they have for us don't let these people touch your hair.
Gabreya Bradley: SMH. This is TERRIBLE. And yet, a lot of these same non-FBAs have THE ABSOLUTE NERVE to be angry at us, FBAs, for strictly supporting our own people, sticking together, and no longer supporting other groups of people who have constantly betrayed us. This gives us another reason why we should stay on code within our own lineage from now on and that separation is a must.
Airy Air: Well she should only braid African hair, how about that? At some point, we need to have enough pride to walk away from vanity, wherever there's a presence of disrespect. Tired of these people .
UnDark: This is shameful. The people down there need to shut down that business. How do you come to America and discriminate against Americans
Marilyn Levi: I’m not surprised a lot of Africans think the way she does and this is coming from someone that grew up in an African household. She could’ve had a bigger clientele but she ruined it by being discriminatory im not sorry if her bussiness goes down ♀️
James Miller: Where ever this shop is located it needs to be boycotted, protested, and put on internet blast. Any African, or other non-Caucasian immigrant who verbally and physically removes Black Americans from the fold of decency and societal accomplishments should be, must be, seriously held accountable. Let’s close it down without mercy.
Real me 79: We black women already know this. So thankful I and my family were taught by our moms,grandma and aunts how to braid. No problem.
Donna B.: This is happening with many businesses owned by immigrants. They will only hire their own. I had a woman who was half japanese telling me that where she worked, she would never make manager because the japanese company only hired full japanese people to be in management/supervisory positions. This business in the US only hired japanese & the US allows this to happen all the time.
k5lta: All other groups are about themselves. It's just time for us to do the same.
NIKKIA HANKS: If you are discriminating against people in the US against people, somebody can file sue your business for that.
Meena Free: The lady who shot this video needs to post the name /address / state where this shop is located ,Then protest n boycott so that they get the message that this won’t be tolerated. All they do is take out edges bcos the braids r too tight. Thank God I use my natural hair n never had to call on them for anything. You can tell by the looks they give us they don’t like us! I see why my BF doesn’t want to travel to the Continent
JP coleman: If a white American said this, FBA and others would boycott, until the business closed. Do the same to these tethers, whether it be Asians, African or Latinos. We need to show them that America is about inclusion and leaving your tribal mess in the countries you left.
CaramelEater!: Report them and get them shut down for discrimination. We’ve had enough of the tribalism and separation. Take them raccoonsback to West Africa and keep them there. B1.
S. Jones: This is the reason why I don't fantasize moving to Africa. She could sue that braiding salon for hiring discrimination.
wellwisher 7: Phil I appreciate you shining light on this issue. The extreme important message here is African Americans themselves need to UNIFY and become a powerful force for themselves.
The Civilizing Element: We must organize a governing apparatus so we can address these kinds of things.
One4allable: If they want to be like that, don't patronize their businesses. Stay on code when it comes to these things.
Melanated Soulja: Most FBAs don't even venture African businesses because there is nothing they have that we want...here in Baton Rouge there is some African businesses mainly hair braiding spots but there is no high patronage..we don't care if they don't hire us as we have own businesses...most FBA women go to other FBA wonen to get their hair braided..these people really need to get over themselves...Delineation is very important for us as they and others have being practicing it
Wendell el guerrero moreno: I will say this again, I am a black person who is a non FBA and I understand where many black Americans are coming from when things like this happen. This is Ridiculous.......
0010: The solution is simple, don't give her not one Black American Dollar!, that's how you fix that.
slice XL: Back when I was a student there was a West African pub n restaurant in Johannesburg and they had a sign outside the establishment that read no South Africans allowed this was really shockingly mind blowing to me .
The Quiet Revolution: That's strange. If they feel so grateful to whites, why aren't they setting up their businesses in those neighborhoods? Also strange is once black American customers hear the hiring practices, why don't they stop patronizing that business? Has our self-respect and self-esteem fallen so far that we're willing to endure insults just to be liked by people that despise us?
Amina Aminat: This is exactly why I have NEVER and WILL NEVER patronize their businesses while they function with that WS mindset! I have patronized Continental African businesses in times past, and they act like just like they do on the Continent of Africa if not worse! Nah, I'll pass on them too! Moving on...
Adding up to 100: Yes you know truthfully black Americans are the most progressive in this country or maybe the whole word with regards to black people. Most black professionals have FBA background not foreign ones. Most inventions that were created by black people were from FBA not black foreigners. We already know most black progressive movements were developed FBA /Black Americans. This the is the answer to the question about who is the most progressive and contributes more.
Israel Porter: We should press the issue, as blacks in America, we let too many things slide. We need to use our voice. Great show Phil.
JUSTME OUTHERE2019: I heard some people (EVEN SOME OF THEIR OWN) WARNING women to STAY AWAY from the African braiders, because they braid TOO TIGHT & some women lost their edges fooling with HEFFAS like them!
Chri Blue: This is why I don't support none of their businesses! And I continue to share this information so my FBA will understand why and be well aware of how to handle this situation!!
Gems Gems: We need our own damn shops. If we can start working together collectively then maybe we can get on the right track. Im sick of seeing videos like this.
Saone Dixon: That's why I'm looking into buying buildings and leasing them out to black American businesses. That way we can start our own business without having to deal with the BS.
DebbieLovingYah Israel: I stopped going to them a long time ago they break out edges out. I think it's on purpose. It caused me to have alopecia. Be careful ladies.
sanchez73 day: And a lot of black women don’t go to African hair shops to get there hair done , have 3 sisters and a lot of aunts and females cousin who say they would never patronize African hairdressers. For many reasons.
Dimple Face: Boycott their shop...simple as that.
Terry Jones: I dont understand how they don't see how disrespectful it is to come to someone else's home and crap all over us on our land, this is unacceptable, these Tethers are playing unforgivable games!
Brister Leverett: That's a perfect opportunity to sue their sorry asses .
Trandy Escapes: The real question is how can these immigrants open a business and others cannot?
King Nick: It's always Naija aunties pulling that crap. "We are not them." Hated hearing it growing up; even as a kid I knew how messed up that sounded.
The End Begins: This needs to go viral, stop spending.
Mohamed hassan: Stay away from Chinese, Korean, Indian, Arab and African immigrant businesses. We as Black Americans need to leave these people alone, they don’t want us so leave them alone.
Benita Pollard: She should report them to the EEOC. That's discrimination plain and simple. I would .
Ade Oye: This behavior is terrible, and I agree with Phil that it's the same ethnic division in Africa that this people bring over here. I'm Nigerian, and this is appalling. From the way they speak, they are French speaking Africans, and they to that to other Africans too. Most of the time they tell Nigerian women they can't employ them. Behaving in such a way in another man's county is crazy. What do we expect in their own country. Also, I'm not exonorating Nigerians from this behavior, because some of us are mother Fuckers and I don't trust them from what I have been seeing and reading on this platform. How many times are we going to be apologizing for our peoples bad behavior. I'm fed up.
Adding up to 100: That is discrimination. Know what you can do about this. This could get that shop closed down among other things. This is illegal. I am sure most of their customers are Black Americans. They usually are in those shops.
KEMET Excellent (CHILDREN OF EARTH): At this point who actually care we got to give up on these ppl
Saone Dixon: We should know by now that these other groups don't fool with us like that. Hell just lease or buy a building of your own and start your own hair braiding business. End of problem.
Hit Man K.O.: Black women had hair salon shops when I was growing up, and black women would go to these businesses. This same animosity was there back in the 70s & 80s with AA and foreign black people. Black women you have built these businesses before for yourself, and you can do it again.
Real Talk: Black people supports every race but themselves and we are the people that bring the most revenue to their companies
D Foreman: I would file a discrimination lawsuit on the business and a complaint about their practices! I’m not too crazy about some of these Africans anyways due to my experience with them
Illumi Nadi: I could be wrong, but I suspect, if a Muzungu braider tried to hire on, she’d be more that willing to give her or him a job. ♀️I’m just saying…
Queen Lady: This is why we can't add them in as progress in this country they tend to operate like WS.
claville12345: That was a new situation for the tribal Africans and they told the truth not thinking and forgetting where they were, discrimination is illegal in the US. If the women had not have told them that was illegal they'd still be saying they don't hire Americans.
Terrance: I understand and respect a company that is family owned and operated however for them to say they don't hire Americans is no different than whites and other races. They should be boycotted the same.
Anonn Nymous: That’s fine. That’s when us Americans don’t go to them for buisness and stick to our own black american braiding/hairstyling salons. What’s even more baffling is that these nonamerican black people want native-black americans to show them how and help them to navigate around america.
Leo Wiley: I approve this message Thank you for all your Work's over the years much appreciated and respected
John Davis: Great content I love it I love the way you go hard in on them and everyone I enjoyed it
Eric Powell: Not only is this illegal, it is immoral.
Tishreni: On the fence with this one.All foreigners get down to buisness and don't care about your personal life.I got my hair braided in Bowie MD a few months ago for $200. I hadn't had my hair braided in a shop in 20 plus years.The African girl did my hair in 4 hours and I was out without feeling pressured.Same with going to the shop to get a relaxer and dealing with different types of Black American stylist...it makes you want to do your own hair. We as Black Americans wonder why our buisnesses aren't succeeding, but refuse to look at how foreign people operate theres.
Crown Jewel: This is getting silly to me.There was obviously a language issue there. She was saying they did not have any Black American hair braiders employed in there. There is a difference between “we don’t” and “there is none”. From their accents, they are definitely from Mali or Guinea. If the lady had been patient enough to listen and understand them, but I guess she heard what she wanted to hear.
sandy green: It's amazing how immigrants come to America and open up a shop, but yet black Americans don't own nothing in a country our ancestors built
Eber Nation (TRO)王: We keep failing to understand being "black" is not a race just a color! Not all dark skinned people are of the same race; race is determined by one's bloodline. The children of the slave trade are not the same as the so called Africans.
Rashad The Great: They should file a lawsuit for discrimination. That tune will change real quickly
meshelle lewis: Easy fix, don’t patronize them.
ILLA COOK: And they wonder why there's a divide between FBA and them.
MsAnn IsMyName: Go on Style Seat y’all for FBA braiders, nail techs and MUA’s. I’ve actually learned to do it all myself but before I did I stopped patronizing foreigners who don’t appreciate us. FUBU
D Kant: I once went to a Senagelese braiding shop for cornrows. I asked them what they thought about the French colonizing them. They answered: "well, they civilized us". Really? Yea we ain got too much in common with that concept lol
Sean T: I saw it but mark my words when I say this those who forget the past both Africans or us will be doomed to repeat it.
Moon Maiden: Lived in East Africa for 8 years, Uganda is my favorite. Africa dose have this same mindset it depends on where you are and I have been all over Africa. If you have celebrity as a so called black american you will be treat different because of possible opportunity. All in all Uganda, Johannesburg , Rwanda are my favorites places, lived in Nairobi Kenya for 4 years and I was called mazungu all the time while the real mazungu was worshiped. I have no hard feelings
Mary Ella: Well I don’t let them braid my hair because the only time I did the braided pulled my edges out. The whole time she was talking about how good my hair was and it didn’t should like it was coming from a good place, I think she did it on purpose.
vivian concepcion: Wow!! But will come here and make our black dollars .Smh. This is why I my own hair. I do it myself or I will find someone else in my family to do my hair. And from what I hear from others they pull your hair out from braiding the hair to tight anyway .
Renew: I stop going to them braiding salons years ago. $220 for 12 braids overprice, and pulling your edges out with the tight braiding and talking about you like a dog. No sir, I'll do my own.
Streetnasty Entertainment: This really pisses me off. Thank you for going over this video Phil.✊FBA B1
Princeston Randall: wow just I dunno.....that's why my mother won't ever go to african hair salon it's not all african but it's more than a few....sue this lady hell I'm thinking about having them shut down because that's discrimination at it's highest
TheOne WhoKnows: This is why I will NEVER allow those hands on my crown
Rah EL NuJacqk Littlefield: The Season of Exposure Is Real SHAME SHAME SHAME SHAME .
Miss Cali Luv: This is OUR, country so it's more of US, than them! I know for a fact, that black American women patronize African hair braiding shops because I have friends and family members who get their hair braided by them. She needs to post their info, so black American women know that they're not wanted there..
A 612D6: It’s usually because it’s easier to underpay foreigners
Sunshine: That’s discrimination and I would sue….
The Black Demon: What interesting is the reason black hair styles like braids are popular in America and a cultural phenomenon around the world is because of black american women beauty styles and the impact its had on the world. Black American women literally carved a lane out and created a standard of beauty so that these ungrateful bastards could come to American and have a sense of pride. Thank you Madame C.J. Walker.
Toni H. Justice: I do my own hair. I don't pay to have my edges snatched out!!
Keith Coleman: The solution is to be organised and be particular where you spend your black dollar.
Te’ Douglas: Sue them it's against law to do that
Darnell Lewis: Ok, Phil they don't want to hire us but you want us to pay for a trip to Kenya!! Lol
Osun Bodunde: Uhmm-I work in HR…they should really study the EEOC and Workplace laws! Because If we really wanted to….This is blatant violation. Better hope everyone in there is licensed, depending on the state. Don’t come calling us either!
Carla Brown: If I was a getting my hair done there it would be my last time.
Keith Coleman: Shut them down , don't do business with them , boycott them for six months and the business will go bankrupt.
Unconscious Awakening: Get her ass out and anybody else who is connected to her mindset out of here. We through playing games. I believe in sending a strong message to the audience
LN Wh: Well we have been saying that Phil but you take up them. Now you see how divisive they are.
Tee Lagway: I know this is hurting to see it hurt me to my heart. One thing family we have to look at is this you know them folks love a good joke they will let them get so relaxed and then out of nowhere when they want that area you know how they do. Then all of a sudden they want our help and we must show tuff love.
langston122 Hogan: Don't patronize those businesses.
Aaron Freemon: Please keep exposing this foolishness brother Phil.
Nile Oracle: We shed a lot of blood here we suffered we suffered we suffered tortured suppressed beat down and have always reached back towards Africa no one reached for us and they are able to come here because of the roads black Americans paved not that they did anything here to make that possible black Americans did it. The ingratitude and disrespect is duly noted by ancestors shame shame you will never Prosper that way the colonizers will come upon you once again don't expect help from diaspora
LN Wh: We really don't need them. Their are plenty of FBA hair braiders we just need to support them.
Myann Moore: I would to South Africa to see my people but I will never go to these other’s nations.
xTrap Rebel: This is one of the many reasons why I will never ever ever ever ever accept or want Pan Africanism.
Maxine Fowler: Sue them, get a Lawyer. Record everyone there, & all encounters!
ken davis: I'm not surprised....( They are who FBA thought they were)
One Alkebulan: I hope this doesn't bring xenophobia. Pray for unity and peace. We need to re-educate.
