    They didn't touch on the explosion of STDs that came with FreakNik. My aunt was an RN that worked with the CDC and she told me how the number of syphlillis, gonarhea, herpes and HIV/AIDS infections went through the roof during those times. A lot of people left FreakNik with those 'life time' gifts

    I attended FreakNik for several years, and as a Black man, even though I already had this perspective for our women, FreakNik only helped to give me a greater perspective, for how diverse our women are/were, when it came/comes to how physically appealing our women can be, in a natural state, and I know it will probably never return to that, but that needs to make a comeback, the stressing of natural beauty.
    Now I know how dudes who danced on, and attended Soul Train in L.A. felt, FreakNik was like that, multiplied by 100,000, all the different shapes, all the different sizes, all the different complexions, that make up our women. I know that likely, I will probably never be in the presence of so many fine Black women again at once, in my lifetime, but at least I can die knowing that I did experience it, at least once...

    • @ShawnC.T.
      @ShawnC.T. 6 років тому +1

      SDS Overfiend Exactly, I respect you keepin' it 100. I don't think we really understand the magnitude, and the significance of what FreakNik was, and I'm not gonna' touch on any of the negative aspects of it, of course, that's unfortunate. However, before then, up until today, and probably for the rest of time, there will never be another Black orientated event that large, located in one city, like FreakNik, on U.S. soil again.
      The powers that be, have made up their minds, to never allow that sort of congregation of our people, to ever happen again. But you're right, the hype was tremendous, it was something that you had to make an effort to go to, and if you didn't make it, and you were told of, and/or saw evidence of what was going on, it only made you wanna' get to the next one even more. Well eventually, the next one was no more, but if you ever did attend one, you know that you witnessed something historic, that you'll never see again, an you'll never forget it...

    I went in 1996 when it was officially unofficial. They had the exits blocked so went went up the off ramps. Got to the top of the exit, busted a quick u-turn and stopped at the gas station. Got out the car and the first thing we saw is a nigga tearin' a girl shirt off. And what she do, run straight to us. Aww shit! I let her get in the car. Now it's 6 of them and 3 of us, instant L but we worked it out. You know how scared you gotta be to jump in some stranger's car running from another stranger? BTW she was from Atlanta, just walking to the store. We fuck everything up!

    I've always wanted to go, but never did. The problem is not with the young men and women who went to enjoy themselves. The sexual harassment and assaults that happened should of never happened. I'm not sure if these things were even reported to police.
    Just know that the men that violated these women during this time, it was definitely not their last time doing this. That's why they shut this mess down. No matter what a woman wears it doesn't mean a man has a right to violate her.

    When I was a teen in the 90's living in New Orleans, I kept hearing people talking about freak nik. So I go home to my older brother who was preparing to go and asked him what it was all about. He gave me the stare of death, grabbed me and said to never let him hear me speak of it again. Scared me to death. The way people talked about it, I thought it was one big orgy. Looks about right. lol!

I was so adamant about going, I remember my mom asking where was I going to stay when I got there and I told her that my friend and I were just going to sleep in the car.

    @mjg239 4 роки тому +73

    This documentary could've been better if they added WOMEN'S VOICES AND PERSPECTIVES. The primary draw of Freaknik was the women. I would like to know how women felt about Freaknik, how they picked their outfits, did their hair, their mindset going into the event and what THEY got out of it. Also around the turning point in the doc when women were getting raped and it became more and more sexually violent (around 32:22) that would've been a good time to include womens voices to really balance out the documentary -- to show why it got out of control and eventually shut down. The documentary is really one-sided, from the "playa's" or man's perspective. Also the audio quality was up and down, the background music drowned out some of their voices, and added with the thick southern drawl it makes it hard to understand what they're saying a lot of times. Good documentary and social document, though, just could've been even better with a few tweaks.

    Those were the days when people really danced. (google 90's dances) The music made sense. The women were natural. Today, all they do is twerk, the music is trash & the plastic surgeries along with photo editing, have no one looking like they should.

    My first experience with Freaknik was in the Spring of 1996, when I was a freshman at Bauder College in Buckhead, and was wondering why there was a traffic jam in front of my dorm on Peachtree Rd. Once they found out it was mostly an all-girl school (at that time), traffic came to a dead stop. People got out of their cars. I remember an 18-wheeler parked out front in the middle of the road. Campus security was calling the cops due to the number of people that started coming through the gate. People were doing all types of sinful things on the hoods of their cars. Chicks ran back to the dorm rooms and changed clothes. These chicks actually started walking around in lingerie. The cops came and made all of us, the students, go back to our dorms. My virgin eyes were popping out of my head. It was like watching a live porn show right out on the street.

    I'm always so perplexed about the perception of others. I'm from Brooklyn but I went to Spelman. We lived for Freaknik.... No fake booty's and boobs, No I hate black women campaigns, The men looked liked men- not women. It was all fun. However when you read many of the comments they all seem to be negative. People see what they want to see. Yet we didn't see all those brothers n sisters in school ( many seemed to over look that). Now I'm not saying that college students are above reproach neither; and did this event eventually take the turn for the worst- sure just like many other spring break locations/events. However Freaknik wasn't the cause for the high HIV rates in Atlanta or the beginning of the downfall of black women; nor any other disparity mentioned in the comment section....smh I went to freaknik but I'm still a doctor....Geez
