Stuff black people like: #1 hair styles:braids

For centuries now blacks have held the crown for craziest hair styles. I would have to say the craziest hair style that I have ever seen was about a decade or so ago when I was watching “Don’t be a menace to South Central while drinking your juice in the hood.” Not only did this movie have the craziest hair style, I think it holds the record for longest movie title ever to man. Shawn Wayans had a jerry curled high top fade but his brother’s was better. Marlon Wayans had such a ridiculous hair style that there was actual things in his hair such as; weed, dice and pacifiers.

This is not the first time that someone parts their afro into four pig tails, braids the pig tails and adds random things to their head. I just recently cut my braids that I had for 8 years and at one point I had ridiculous hair styles like Marlon. I guess when you are black and have hair, this is where innovation happens.

Here are some pictures of someone advertising their braiding skills on MySpace searching for potential customers. From “zigzags” to “fishnets,” braids were a style over the past decade and the designs were the key components in the fashion statement. Over the years I have had many of these designs and much more. The only bad thing about braids is that it hurts a lot and its quite expensive when you have to pay to get it done.

Here is an image of the famous Snoop Dogg with his perm curls. Snoop has been famous for his long hair and perm designs.

Stuff Black People Like: #28 Not having a Savings

In the world that we currently live in, how important is a savings account? Or a savings account with more than $100. How is it possible for anyone to move forward if they don’t save any of their money. Black people hate to save money. It’s plain and simple. I can remember as a kid how my mom used to tell me that she was deadly with a dollar in her hand and it was true. The minute she had money it was already gone. Black people love to buy things in general whether they need it or not. You can walk into a black person’s apartment in the projects and find that they have expensive furniture that is covered by plastic, their kids have every gaming system and game and they have a lot of unnecessary things that they don’t need.
If black people learned how to budget their money we would take our selves out of depression. Look at the Jews. Jews save everything. If blacks had the mentality of Jews then this world will be very different. I think we are probably waiting for our reparation check from slavery to come in so we feel that we can spend all the money that we currently work for and get the rest of that money for the enslavement of our ancestors that we probably don’t know. Blacks that are successful probably learned the idea of saving money and that is why they move forward in life. As for the rest of us, we will continue spending until one day we have more bills to pay than our yearly income and bankruptcy is a must.
This is why not having a savings is #28 in Stuff that Black people like.
