SMH: White Folks Are Going Too Far With This Commercial… But What About The Sistas In It, Are They Coonin???

Posted on July 24th, 2009 - By Bossip Staff

Categories: Coon of The Day, KKK, News, SMH

Our boy Slide sent this video tip in and initially, we got pissed at the white folks, but our attention quickly turned to the stereotypical black females in the hair salon. The sisters part is a response that sounds like a white person trying to imitate a black woman. SMH

Which is worse; the white folks that made and star in this commercial or the sisters jiving in it?

  • Sissy

    I recommend you a nice milionaire dating site __Rich Flirts.c o m__. Whenever I chat with my friends on this site, I feel really relaxed and happy. They are easygoing and honest. I enjoy staying on the site. Hope you can find more nice rich friends there. Good luck to you.

  • Hannibal

  • vcg

    hahahahahahaha

  • KocaKola

    Shame on those women participating in the steortypical perception of BW. Why didn’t they use white chicks when they wear just as much if not more weave than BW.

  • De

    Both. And I hate on all black women who won’t stop putting that junk in your hair. Our hair grows if you will allow it to do so. Mine is mid back and still growing. I don’t use grease, braids, extensions. I just keep it cleaned and conditioned. Are black women too lazy for that but will stay in a shop for HOURS get fake hair sewn or glued in. Pathetic.

  • lmao

    Wonder how long it will be before black women claim all black men hate them and white men love them.

    Infact I’m sure the sistas will claim it was a black guy who made the advert

    lmao.

    Time is ticking for black male bashing hurry up

  • Tom

    I suppose this was supposed to be funny… but it is a little inappropriate.

  • NIKKI UNDERWOOD

    You all are saying ‘shame on them’ but some black women really act like this…just sayin…it wasnt acting.

  • http://bossip leyah

    wow so i guess they puttin humans in the human hair lol LETS GET REAL

  • http://www.fcitalk.com Kitina

    Instead of whining about it, we should contact the company and tell them commercials like this are inappropriate and…BTW white people where weaves too!

  • Reality Jones

    Everybody thought it was hysterical when it was “Beauty Shop,” though…

  • Glok9n: Lev 20:13

    WELL LADIES YOU CAN THANK YOUR FRIENDLY NEIGHBORHOOD….JIGGABOO TYRA!…SHE EXPOSED YOU LONG ENUFF TO GET A COMMERCIAL ABOUT IT AND SHIT, I KNOW WHITES WEAR THEM TOO,..BUT THE JOKES ON YOU YAK!

  • Glok9n: Lev 20:13

    AND WHATS REALLY DAMN SAD IS SOME OF YOUARE SO DAMN DUMB AND PROGRAMMED YOU DONT EVEN SEE THAT THE JOKE IS ABOUT YOU!..SISTAZ I KNOW YOUR MORE CLEVER THAN THAT !

  • K.C.

    if they didnt do it somebody else wud have, its all about a check!

  • NIKKI UNDERWOOD

    LOL@ Marquis de Sade

  • liyah76

    Lets not be overly sensitive. The ad is not saying all black women wear weave there simply depicting scene showing women who do.

  • LeyLey

    I complained to KGB about this commercial and they have agreed to suspend its airing for further review..

  • the truth

    you mean sister, as there’s only one doing the neck snapping

  • Slide Like A Fresh Pair of Gators

    What’s the problem???

    Everything in the commercial is actual & factual:

    actuality = SOME Sistas act like this

    factuality = Yaki weaves come from a Yaki

  • http://bossip keith

    KOCA KOLA,

    You seem pretty jealous of white women
    Are you going to cheat on tour husband with the blogger GLOCK9n like you tried to do yesterday?

  • whatevah

    I love the commercial because it is funny and hell I have seen this scene in many a salon.

    We have more serious stuff to worry about.

    No one complained about the other ads that had black people in them…

  • nahnah

    i saw the commercial a few nights ago, and i thought i was the only one who found it to be quite ignorant.

  • $moK.E.Y.

    man im not in the mood to even start on this commercial, i want to start my weekend off good not feeling like a drank a bottle of habanero sauce :roll:

  • simply_DIVAstating

    I wore weave once…never again!!! I have been natural for 2 yrs and my hair is past my shoulders and the most healthy it has ever been. just wash and take care of your own hair and you won’t have to worry about the bag of $80 hair you just bought coming off a yak’s ass!!!

  • Rod

    I was upset when I first saw that and wondered by KGB did this but the sad part is I can only be upset with our black women that one act that way on the regular, plus people are upset because they see that black women do stupid mess like this to themselves so they can be more like white women. They were giving Solang a hard time about wearing her hair like GOD made it but think it is ok to look like fools with that NATURAL HAIR from those animals and those lacefronts. No other race tries to change themselves like another race and think that is the norm.

    But listen…alllllll black girls do not wear weave…why couldn’t they show black AND white girls in a salon getting weave?? And why did that black girl have to be so ghetto? I’m upset.

  • TIFF

    Who cares… The black women in the commercial got paid. we have bigger things to worry about like the fact that people are getting laid off. at least those women are making money. I a young black lady and i wear weeave every so often not because i don’t like my natural hair because i like to have another look. All black women don’t act like that, it a sterotype. But everyone women and some gay men act like that 2 even if they black, white, spanish, and etc. The commercial is trying to sell there product not try to sterotype nothing.

  • http://bossip keith

    I don’t like wanna be thug Black men that name themselves after a gun and claim to be Business men and can’t even spell

  • hot fyah

    I didn’t see anything wrong with the comercial with the exception of the stereotpical ending. I guess I don’t find it offensive because I’m a black woman and what’s wrong with going to the hair salon getting your hair done? The lady at the end, ugh, they should of left that part out. The two girls that were talking didn’t fill the stereotypical role that a lot of other races try to portray black women, but the lady on the end………….cut it out. A mess.

    I forgot to mention I’m very very thick down there. And I know hoe to use it. You would be surprised.

  • Loch Ness Monster

    What the fu*k was that? I better not see that garbage on tv. I’ve never had yaki, khaki, or anything else ‘extra’ on my scalp but that is beside the point.
    My problem lies with the chick at the end who deems it necessary to sound gutter.
    The other two females spoke softly & didn’t sound like that.
    That looked like a scene from Hollywood Shuffle.

  • Kami All Day

    @Slida:

    Whats up my dude?? How ya been?

    LOL….you and these questions!

    BUT….to answer them (from my perspective)

    1) I have NO idea how much yaki weave costs because I dont wear it! My hair is pretty long as is, but if I DO decide to wear it then its strictly for braiding purposes.

    2) I believe there are different prices for the length and kind of hair it is (I think).

    3) When I get braids, they last a few weeks. My hair grows fast so I dont keep it in for very long. And I never keep it in longer than needed.

    4) My braids cost anywhere from $60-$80, depending on the style that its going in.

    You’re welcome in advance!

  • Santana

    “White women do it too”!

    Why is that black women’s excuse everytime they get called out on something? Lame.

    And no need to get offended from a spot on impersonation. Although, there are many exceptions but c’mon, if that wasn’t a reflection of you, it was a reflection of your best friend or your cousin.

  • The Future Mrs. 6am

    Wow, and thats a real At&t commercial.

    @ grant,

    you cant possibly mean that.

  • Divine

    I live in Nashville and my stylist does the weave for every country music singer in the industry.
    I was getting my hair done when a country girl group members getting their weave done for their tour. You can go on her website now and everyone on it is white with a weave.

    I think this perpetuates a stereotype that I KNOW for a fact is not true. But are we really surprised?

  • http://bossip.com too cute

    wasn’t bad,just made fun about where the hair came from,the hair used for weaving

  • jason

    why do black girls always say white women do it too. who cares? atleast it is not noticeable and obvious like urs. we are talking about youuu and not white women. geesshhh talk about low self esteem.

  • Ryu

    @santana

    I think the majority of ALL women wear it in the industry. But when it comes to the average chick on the street, black women take the gold.

    But is there a difference between extensions and weaves?

  • P.A.

    I actually auditioned for this commercial and it was very degrading!! This is one commercial I was happy I didn’t book. The producer’s and director treated us like we were a science experiment, “So all black women have weaves?”…”You better not be putting no yak UP in this HEAD!!!”

  • KocaKola

    Im not racist Im just being real white people always got something to say bout us and we sit back and take it as a joke and laugh it off. SMH

  • Tweety

    Last I checked white women wear weave too. I guess it’s ok for them because it’s just to make there hair fuller. Don’t trip men you can’t tell they have because the weave is made better suited for the texture of their hair. Many of them may not have full blown weaves but a lot do wear pieces and extensions make their hair look thicker and bigger. Also I’m not a big weave fan, I’ve tried it and just wasn’t comfortable wearing it. Although I have no problem with anyone that wants to wear it and it still looks decent. I mean I’m not the one wearing it and if that’s what they like then let them. Also I don’t know any black women like the ones hear or maybe I just have a different circle of friends. My friends that do wear weave I sometimes think should have went to cosmetology school and just quite grad school. It is amazing how much they know about the hair products.

  • KocaKola

  • lol … oooh I almost threw up!!!

    @DizzyGuy

    You are 100% accurate on that –

    Instead of fighting to justify weaves we need to be examining them for how they are physical hurting our women.

    This commercial with Europeans in it is a totally disgrace to our women. I mean at least the sista said to put that …. in my hair – she tried to stop her but this shows that we need to be re-educated on what we are doing to ourselves physically

  • Kami All Day

    it was fine until the last line… they just need to do something better…

    @ the chick who said they should have showed black AND white people getting weave together… i dunno where you live but i hardly ever see black and white women getting their hair done at the same salon and definitely not getting weave put in together either.. but maybe that’s just where i’ve been…

    LOL y are is anyone surprised that these woman would be in the commercial some folks proud to be ghetto!!! It does nothing for or against anyone eise ….sheesh

    I never addressed you.

    And I don’t know too many black women personally but I can tell you act just like the women in the clip when you’re around your “sistas”…

    Getting defensive and acting belligerent when I already apologized if I offended anyone.

    And you can’t even express yourself without cursing. Silly little black girl.

    you hate white people but you love pictures of them

  • lol … oooh I almost threw up!!!

    @Elle

    That’s not selling out family – that’s actually opening our people up for a new discussion. What are our women actually putting on their heads? How does this affect our women physically having these foreign chemical going through the blood stream?

    We have to stop giving the wheel to Jesus because he keeps handing it back tell us to handle these simplistic situations. I just implore all of our sistas to do the research and then maybe we wont be so quick to battle about such trivial issues.

  • KocaKola

    Which is why I never get mad when I see interracial couples because I can be one if I choose to be.

    And if you have a TELEVISION telling you how to view people, then you need to cut the tube off and actually go into the REAL world.

    And stop generalizing the “hood females” as EVERY female in america.

    O and about that African comment I read earlier. We don’t represent Africans – We represent ourselves and when we get this through our heads that many African Cultures wish we were wiped of the face of this planet we will have a better understanding how we got here in the first place.

    This doesn’t speak for Africans as a whole, I’m talking about the Africans that helped to put us in this situation.

    I thought you was out? What’s up with all the gay comment? Are you going through something and you don’t want us to know about it?

    Your talking about nutting on some of our African sistas faces. Do they know this is how you are talking about them? We don’t represent Africans just like they don’t represent us but what we do have in common is the ones whom wish to suppress us for the color of our skin.

    We have African ancestry but just like we have all other ancestry which makes us a mixed people. That our linkage to Africans which we love about our make up and don’t deny.

    the point is that white people seem to think that because there is a black man in office they can be blatantly racist and we are supposed to laugh it off…i don’t think so…true there are women who perpetuate this stereotype…i myself opt for being natural…i don’t need a ton of yak,goat,horse,iguana or any other animal to make me beautiful….but for the sisters who choose to wear weaves thats fine for them…i don’t think they should be put into a category of self-hate just because they may want to switch the length, texture or color of their hair…im not going to say that white women do it too (even though they do and have been since false hair has been around) what i am going to say is that i will be telling all my friends (black and non-black) not to support this service…can’t beat em but i can hit em where it hurts the wallet…

  • DR.FUNK

    The stereotype is DEADLY ACCURATE.That does’nt mean you wanna run the ad however.Gotta wonder who was in charge of shooting the ad for KGB? How did this get the green light through (at least) three layers of of management from the ad agency…to KGB directly?

  • suddenly

    no wonder when im fucckin a black shawty and pulling her hair she always says not to hard. don’t pull it too hard.LMAOOO

    I love it when these jungle bunnies fight….Dance, puppets, dance!!

  • supyall

    i know the girl who said “oh no you betta….” shes gotta work yall. pay her rent.

    thats all im saying.

  • DR.FUNK

    Just being speculative here:

    Clearly the thread has become more about HAIR than the ad itself.Sometime in the next 5-7 years…bio-science will deliver technology that will allow people to have ANY color/texture of hair they want.That is to say FULL,REAL,HAIR OF ANY TYPE FROM YOUR OWN HEAD.I’m sure most Whites will use said technology to fix baldness and/or get a thicker head of hair.How will Black folx use it?

  • yo yo

    black women and weave is like barbeque chicken without the sauce. those b*tches need those sh*t, all they will all look like solange.lol

  • Elle’

    @lol … oooh I almost threw up!!!

    Yes this is a good way to open ourselves up for discussion and respond accordingly to this cultural ignorance. I will be the first to admit that I have worn extensions and until five years ago relaxed my hair until I realized 1.These chemicals could cause irreversible damage to my body. 2. Lets be realistic my hair was not meant to be straight like that!

    However, I think the commercial was distasteful!

    it was funny, get over it and I’m sure the black people in it got paid.

    Jay the real one,

    Really like the dogs Mike Vick tortured?

  • Unkle Ruckus

    The real question is now that sistas know that natural weave come from yaks, are they going to stop fronting with that foul mess and get on the Jill Scott/India Arie train with a brotha? I likes the natural, nothing wrong with it.

  • REV AL SHARPTON

    I’M ON IT.

  • stevo

    LADIES STEP UP

  • Angee

    LMAO! I may be the only sista on this board that does not have a problem with that commercial.

    There is someone sitting in a beauty salon acting like that right now. Hell, I am pretty sure we all do that neck roll!

  • aishab

    stop being over sensitive yall know yall were weave!!!yall probly wearing weave right now commenting on this damn responce!!!
    WOMP!!!!

    A black woman and/or a black man were possibly apart of the creative staff responsible for this concept. Or, if those in creative control (more than likely, a white person that exercised ascendancy over the project) envisaged this idea, then hired a black, commercial writer to put the concept to paper, then celluloid. Very few of us are above-the-line crew members, and/or advertisement executives. So, for the groups of us who are present, the mental attitude is to ascend the ladder with no thought that with the attainment of success also comes repercussions. Many pardon the depths of hatred, and constant formulaic conceptions of us as a people in America for a profit.

    You may not see anything wrong with this (or, any other short/full length feature), but you have to ask yourselves, what were their intentions of creating this spec, and are they laughing with you, or at your expense?

    Yes, white folks do have the tendency to stress pessimism, pertaining to us. But, the plurality of the time, there’s a handkerchief head negro present bringing their ideas to life.

    @ STFU and OJ

    That’s what I like to hear….some sense from black people…a rare thing…

  • http://bossip saber

    STFU,

    Your the man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    What you said is 100% true

  • BLAH

    They probably cam to this site, and gleaned the idea from your posts. I know I’ve read some of you pointing this exact situation out. Oh, but it’s not funny anymore now that it’s not comming from you now, right.

    Hypocrtical…

  • BLAH

    came*

    @Pam

    Cry me a river… You’ll get more respect and less laughs if you chose to be natural.

    “most women wear it to give their real hair a rest. or they want to try something different”

    Give your real hair a rest? WTF does that mean? You women will come up with the most ridiculous excuses so you wont look like silly hypocrites when you obviously hate your natural hair. And try something different? LOL Seriously? When most of you wont even come out the house to get your mail without that barbie hair glued to your scalp.

    Just admit that you hate your nappy hair.

  • deedy318

    i thought this commercial was too funny. lmao. love it! it doesn’t offend me because i was blessed enough not to have to put weave in my head.

  • Get over it!!!

    I found it funny!!! Ithink the sensitive people are those that wear this mess….when it’s not necessary. I can understand if you are loosing your hair, but must we all desire straight long hair?

  • JEAN

    THE QUESTION SHOULDN’T EVEN BE ASKED. BLAME THE WRITER, DIRECTOR, PRODUCER, AD AGENCY AND COMPANY THAT IS BEING ADVERTISED, BUT TO BLAME THE SISTA’S IN THE COMMERCIAL IS REDICULOUS! THEY’RE JUST WORKING LIKE ANYBODY ELSE WOULD THAT NEEDS A JOB DURING A RECESSION IN THE MOST COMPETITIVE FIELD IN THE WORLD!!

    ESPECIALLY WHEN NOWADAYS HOLLYWOOD IS GIVING ALL THE GOOD JOBS AND ROLES TO SINGERS AND RAPPERS WITH NO ACTING SKILLS. WAKEUP PEOPLE.

  • LaS

    I think the commercial is hilarious and true. I dont think you are any less of a woman if you choose to wear weave. You can have hair down your back and may want some versatility and get a weave put in. We hate on each other so much its shameful! I have a choice so who are you tell me Im lazy or less than! Most of their commercials are funny like this and I think this one is especially funny because you never really think yaki is really yaki! Funny!

  • Darryl

    We should be able to laugh at ourselves without all this bickering. Is anybody on this site trying to say they don’t know a sista who speaks and acts like that and worse? They showed an intelligent sista, in it too, they weren’t all acting that way. Lighten up folks, I know at least 5 hood chicks for every 1 non hood chick.

  • griffs

    Funny stuff. I think it’s funny. Get over it, it was just a commercial.

  • Whitey

    What stereotype? That’s the way women n*ggers act!

  • Ms. Carter Baby

    Keep it real! We don’t know exactly where they get the hair from for the weave, but the black women in the commercial makes it worse. Blacks sometimes need to take a stand for what’s right. Just because you see dollar signs, doesn’t mean that you can let anybody degrade who you are! Now,what they should have done is put white girls in the commercial too, because those chicks wear just as much weave as black girls do now!!!! Take Paris Hilton for example, she has her on line og hair weaves. Come on people!!!!
