I don't know what all is addressed during the club's time together, but instead of focusing on wardrobe, I wish they taught them how not to be ****** people.

Just posted this in the I never knew thread:

Btw theres a documentary series on youtube called Evolution of Evil, I just watched the Hitler episode. **** is so wicked it left me speechless.

I also have episodes on Papa Doc Duvalier (Haiti) and Gaddafi (Libya).

I liked some of Gaddafi's Garveyan ideals on pan africanism and the social programs he created for Libyan citizens but dude was a menace. Straight psychotic at times.

 

[Nouss]

Libyans got free public housing and education under Gaddafi.

Imagine a country 3 times the size of texas with a population of 6 million and in the global top ten of oil reserves.

Gaddafi had all the ingredients to show the world what a true african superstate could look like. Shame. Dude was the richest african leader for damn near 40 years.

 

[Nouss]

Now Papa Doc has to be one of the worst rulers in modern history. Dude reminds me of Nero or Caligula. Just homicidal at its very core, solely for personal gain. Dude openly did business with the American mafia and even had those mafia dudes shook when they touched down in Haiti. He even kept one mafia capo on some indentured servitude ****. Made him run his hotels/casinos while not paying dude at all and just throwing him coins every once in a while and no one in the mafia had **** to say.

He started out good, which is how he got the loving moniker Papa Doc. He was a doctor treating the poorest of the poor in Haiti. But extremist ideals manifested themself into fruition when dude got power. Im not even haitian but im glad hes dead.

Netflix Orders ‘Madam C.J. Walker’ Limited Series Starring Octavia Spencer & Produced By LeBron James – TCA

Netflix has given the green light to Madam C.J. Walker, an eight-episode limited series starring and executive produced by Oscar winner Octavia Spencer and executive produced by LeBron James. The announcement was made by VP original programming Cindy Holland during Netflix’s TCA executive session.

Janine Sherman Barrois and Elle Johnson are set as showrunners on the Zero Gravity-produced series about the legendary African American entrepreneur and philanthropist, with Kasi Lemmons (Eve’s Bayou, Talk to Me) on board to direct the first episode. Warner Bros. TV is the studio via SpringHill’s Warner Bros. deal.

Written by Nicole Asher based on the book On Her Own Ground by A’Lelia Bundles, Madam C.J. Walker tells the untold and highly irreverent story of black hair care pioneer and mogul Madam C.J. Walker and how she overcame hostile turn-of-the-century America, epic rivalries, tumultuous marriages and some trifling family to become America’s first black, self-made female millionaire.

Spencer stars as Sarah Breedlove, famously known as Madam C.J. Walker. She executive produces alongside LeBron James and Maverick Carter via SpringHill and Mark Holder, Christine Holder via Zero Gravity as well as Barrois and Johnson. Lemmons executive produces the first episode.

On Her Own Ground, published in 2002 by Scribner, is described as the definitive biography of Walker, written by her great-great-granddaughter, Bundles.

Zero Gravity in 2016 optioned the rights to the book to develop as a limited series with Spencer starring and executive producing, Asher writing and Lemmons directing. The following year, James and his SpringHill came on board and the project was set up at Netflix for development.

Madam C.J. Walker was SpringHill’s first scripted series project and now becomes the company’s first greenlighted scripted series.

The daughter of slaves, Walker was orphaned at seven, married at 14 and widowed at 20. She spent the better part of the next two decades laboring as a washerwoman for $1.50 a week. Then — with the discovery of a revolutionary hair care formula for black women — everything changed. By her death in 1919, Walker managed to overcome astonishing odds, building a storied beauty empire from the ground up, amassing wealth unprecedented among black women and devoting her life to philanthropy and social activism. Along the way, she formed friendships with great early 20th century political figures such as W.E.B. Du Bois and Booker T. Washington.

Spencer also stars in and executive produces Apple’s upcoming drama series Are You Sleeping.

This isn't the first incident with black women and nail technicians. At this point, we need to establish our own salons.. How much money we put into their communities are insane.

 

[MalcolmNewton]

One day black women will get enough of messing with these asian owned nail salons and brazillian weave stores...maybe?

 

[tay1]

Weaves will always be a thing. But I see tons of black women selling hair compared to doing nails. You would think some would jump on that opportunity.

If women would take care of their hair naturally
Instead of all them damn chemicals they wouldn’t need these weave shops

 

[tay1]

Weaves are a protective style. Nothing wrong them if taken care of properly. Natural hair can be too much for some

Let’s be real
Our natural hair
Is actually better
Than other ethnicity hair
More resilient
We weaken it
With those products

Guess they shut down

I swear I can't stand weirdos like this. Scary butt would have probably stood to the side while is grandmother got beat down. If a barber cuts a bald spot into the middle of my waves, there's no way in hell he would get paid.
