Black woman with natural hair over here 🙋🏾. Not really offended by what French Montana said. However, I am generally affended by his entire existence 🙏
so as a black woman am i 100% offended by French Montanas comments, no. But I understand why people would be he could of easily used other adjectives to describe the women who tweeted but he chose in my opinion "nappy" to sting and hurt. Having natural hair in the black community is not always easy. growing up I was told all the time that my hair was nappy, it was rough, it was tough, it was like Brillo, that it look like peas all types of just crazy, ridiculous ignorant stuff, but sadly enough these words came from my own mother and she still talks this way about my nieces hair and i correct her in front of them. when she did it, it made me very self-conscious and made me do everything possible to make a straighten my hair, chemicals, perms, processing Flatiron, straightening comb and blowing out, everything, so yes hearing nappy hurts and it took a long time for me to be proud of my hair. my hair is now loc'd and I love my hair I couldn't imagine my hair ever being straight again or me ever processing my hair again. but there's so many women that have that self hatred because there's too many people within our own culture that use the word nappy with negative connotations and we need to embrace our hair. our hair textures they vary they're not all going to be wavy, theyre not all going to be straight some of them will be kinky and some of them will be nappy and it's okay.
I'm a lady of that African American decent and I usually don't say much online, but on the French Montana subject, I'm not offended. Lot's of time kids on social media feel like they can recklessly piss into the wind without consequence, but people need to be reminded that sometimes the wind blows back. In those moments, they end up dumbstruck and covered in piss.
Damn u bad but ur not offended cause ur not an idiot like the ppl who got offended n I feel u on that ppl should no there's consequences to shit they say
if phil was a pornstar i bet he'd have the same outro as these videos lol " my name is phillip DeFranco , you've just been phillld in , i love yo faces and ill see you tomorrow ! "
lol same. If her hair had been natural/an afro and he called her nappy then that'd be a different story. He was just commenting on the fact that her braids had been in too long.
hey phil, can you talk about what has been happening in Venezuela this week ? riots have been happening because of the situation here, and media(tv,radio) is not allowed to talk about it, social media is the only way we have to see what's really happening, and even so, it's not all "real news" (you know about fake news). Police brutality has reached inhuman levels. It would mean a lot for venezuelans if people outside could know what is happening. Thanks!
Veronica Capote yo he estado muy al pendiente de lo que pasa en Venezuela y es frustrante no poder hacer nada, de momento lo que puedo hacer es recibir con brazos abiertos a los venezolanos que venga a mi pais y dar a conocer lo que pasa alla... Saludos desde Mexico y fuerza!
JoJo Muchas gracias por tus palabras! me alegra saber que hay gente afuera que sabe lo que pasa. Por eso seria buenisimo que phil pudiera hablar de eso en su programa
I agree, what is happening in Venezuela is unconscionable. It almost seems like it's been going on for so long that it's not "news", on the other hand it's beyond horrible and people who don't know about it should exposed to what is happening. I would hope that Phil and team would take the recommendation and bring the story to light on his channel. Espero que más Americanos se den cuenta de lo que está pasando. En fin, Venezuela have parte de las Americas y no está tan lejos.
I'm a black person, and I believe that its just a plain old insult with her hair added in. Nothing was racist about it, and those that are calling it racist are probably just wanting drama.
Ovi Riley I guess the argument is that since nappy is used almost exclusively to describe natural black hair (no weave, perm, or straightened), the term has a racial aspect to it.
I love your show and have never heard you say something that I disagree with. That being said, I would like to voice a concern of mine. Lately I have noticed that your videos lean more to issues involving celebrities and the issues of the United States. You did cover a silly thing in Russia, but what about the bomb in the train in Russia, chemical weapons used on children in Syria, Russia's defending the Syrian government, and much more? I consider you a new source, and go to you for some important stuff. I would love to see your subject broadened into global issues that actually have an impact on the world. I say this because you have a major voice in the world. When you speak, people listen, and there is much more to speak about than a twitter issue. I love seeing the fluff pieces too, due to your comedic responses, but I would also appreciate it if it was alongside some more important pieces. Again, this is just something to my mind. You mentioned that this is a conversation, and this is a conversation I would like to start with you as well as the audience. I'm interested to see if I'm the only one that is actually interested in this.
andrew jones I also agree completely, but do keep in mind he chooses to not report on some things as they are still developing so he dosnt risk misinforming. Otherwise I consider him the same way and think he should.
I agree with what you said Mattelyn. I understand and appreciate that, but the news is that it has happened. All of the facts of these events will not be fully known for months, if ever. There IS news to be reported on, in regards to this. He has done many pieces as they were happening, and made sure that we stayed informed. I understand that Phillip has a LOT going on right now, and I am not trying to be critical of him at all! I simply wanted to start a conversation.
He's already told us why he can't make videos about that right now. Phil is moving offices and does not have the time to do all the research it would take to present those stories fairly, I would rather him refrain from talking about them than doing a half ass job like every other news media tends to do.
He had repeatedly stated that he has a lot less time to properly research videos until he settles into his new office. So for now, he only has the manpower to cover simpler, more straight-forward stories. Where have you been? I honestly wish people would actually pay attention before posting overly dramatic comments like this.
Black hair is not NAPPY if you are taking care of it. Afros are NOT Nappy, braids are NOT nappy! Nappy is when your hair is dirty, frizzy, matted almost, which is likely to happen faster with black hair because of its texture, but it can happen to anyones hair if you don't take care of it. And I think he said that to make a point, like your unclean and you can't take care of yourself...but honestly how the hell does he know her hygiene situation from her profile pic?
how the fuck is he a hero for identifying as the opposite gender? I don't se them giving out awards to kids at Autistic High! btw no idea if he's trolling or srs
As a black woman with natural hair, I have often called my own hair nappy. Me and my friends (who are also black women) use that term. To me, when my hair is nappy, it is tangled and is not easy to comb it. However, when I think it has become a generalized term used by people as an insult. People could say that my hair is nappy (meaning I don't take care of it) when it actually isn't because that is actually the style my hair is suppose to be in. They call it nappy because they are uneducated and think that all hair is suppose to be straight. With all that said, yes I do find it offensive because Montana meant it to be offense just like the first part of his tweet. Yes nappy is a part of our hair, but it all about context and he meant it as an insult. To my knowledge, black people are the only ones with our type of hair and the only that gets classified as "nappy". He didn't use terms like tangled or messed up, so one assumes that it was racially charged.
Att: Phillip DeFranco Can you cover what is currently happening in South Africa right now. This includes the recent cabinet reshuffle by the current President of South Africa, Jacob Zuma which axed the finance minister, Pravin Gordhan. This was followed by the significant drop of the Rand against the Dollar and the country's credit ratings reduced to “Junk” Status by the S & P Global ratings. Furthermore, the result of this led to the citizens of South Africa coming together to protest towards the removal of Jacob Zuma from his position. Lastly, he is the president that unlawfully and failed to uphold, defend and respect the Constitution. He is the kind of man that said that aids can be washed away by having a shower, and had around 783 counts of corruption against him.
It's important to note that (AFAIK) the President of RSA is appointed by the government party leaders and organisers (including those outside parliment) and MPs owe their seats to the party directly as elections are single-electorate closed-party-list divisor. The President is not elected by the public (like the U.S. system is a state-weighted approximation of), or by party MPs who can still be voted out by their own electorate despite the party's national vote (like a Prime Minister after an Australian spill or British heave), or by the public who have registered with the party (like UK Labour has been trying), or a combination of the last two (what Federal Australian Labor did for their most recent leader). So the administration of the governing party would need to be convinced and capable, not simply a majority of the party's Members or registereds.
No monetization before 10,000 lifetime views is nbd. I didn't start monetization right away, but now I'm over 70,000 lifetime views and still have net received a check. Adsense won't send you money until you make $100 anyways
as a black woman(cringe) i'm personally not mad about the word nappy when someone is talking about your braids nappy-ness is a valid insult and maybe she should tighten them up to avoid nappy centric comments on another note why tf did french montana blow up about a tweet that he wasn't even tagged in it's like he searches his name on twitter every to day to feel his ego or something lol
Mishka Rae • Girl Gamer My first thought was that is a really weird insult. My second was well knowing Americans it probably means something different over there.
I'm a black woman and French Montana is from NYC and so am I and that's how we roast people, I genuinely believe him when he says he was just clapping back at her. But when I read it and he said the word " nappy" I already knew it was a wrap. These celebs need to learn that they can't do things they could do before they became famous. Had he been a normal guy and did that I promise you his black friends would have laughed, but he has a platform now and he can't talk to a black women like that with a platform we just won't tolerate it, and Nappy is now a derogatory term in 2017 most definitely, I'm black and I don't feel comfortable using it and when ppl use it around me who are black I'm like uughhhh....
Lex Grrez Dont listen to him if he had any balls he would post a real picture of himself as a profile pic and let make fun of his appearance honestly some people are just broken inside and take it out on other people so just ignore the hate
Kenadee Corhn black hair is commonly nappy, and nappy is beautiful. not saying he's insulting the whole damn race. just saying he just contradicted himself by loving black people but insults a black women for her hair.
Mr Linda your jumping to conclusions, i didn't say he insulted the whole black race im saying he's a contradiction for insulting a women's hair when he's APPARENTLY loves black culture.
I have to say this I'm a black woman and it doesn't offend me that he said that because that's how people are. If you say something about someone they will say something back. If he said this is why black women...XYZ...then I would be livid because now you're talking about ALL black women. It's like saying ALL black men or ALL white women or ALL white men and so on. Was he wrong yes because you're on a platform. people see everything you do and you will get backlash lol is she wrong yes!! Don't go on a SOCIAL MEDIA website starting mess about ANYONE if you don't want the backlash. I get the point that he is on a platform and shouldn't be talking about African/Black queens...but he is a HUMAN he gets "affended" and will go in just like everyone else except when he does it it's more publicized. Can anybody honestly say they have NEVER in their LIFE called (or thought) someone NAPPY ...Besides Nappy=Happy Nappy= Natural Nappy= Beautiful that's how I feel.
I don't know what to think about the 10k minimum. Even though I have over 10k lifetime views so far, I feel like getting to that 10k is such a hurdle on itself, depending on the genre that the UA-camr is trying to get into. Depending on the genre, someone's first video probably won't hit 1000 views within the first month, or even a year. It's like the struggle to get to 100, then 1000 subs for starting UA-camrs. It's important to weed out the abusers, yes, but I feel that not all the videos that have less than 1000 views are horrible. They just haven't been seen by people because of a number of reasons. EDIT: I am not annoyed about the monetization thing. I should have worded my original post better, by saying that I don't know what to think about the 10k being 'enough information' for a channel to be valid or not. There was a channel I named in this thread that fits the description of what UA-cam is trying to remove I think (people that upload other people's things and such), and I get that, but it just seems arbitrary to say that 10k views is enough to determine the validity of a channel. Then again, I don't know what's going on behind the scenes and it might not just be 10k. Taking a step back and looking at it again, overall I think this is an okay idea. I don't know how much it will hurt new creators, versus stopping the videos UA-cam is trying to stop. I also don't know if doing this will make advertisers come back. I just wish it was worded a little bit better or explained some of the aspects of it some more. The monetization limit was never an issue with me, but the wording of some parts irked me for some reason. EDIT x2: I guess I grouped content creators as a whole, instead of just only monetized creators. It feels a little bit better now, but I still would want to know more details about it, and maybe more information will come in a few weeks.
Andy Plays All Night its a good idea people just have to stick to it and work harder to get more results just like anything in life plus itll feel alot better knowing you worked harder for it and your hard work paid off
Working hard for better results is fine and all, but like I mentioned, some new people's videos won't reach high numbers for who knows how long, depending on the genre. Someone could create something that was well made, well spoken, and all around a good video, but without an audience to see it, or not showing up within the search results within the first few pages, how will the person get views? I'm all for working hard and making good content, but my point was that it's tough to get those views/subs when you start out unless you do some sort of promoting, but some people might see that as just spam.
Hey Phil loved the video, Im an 18 year old filmmaker and I don't really have anyone to show my films too so i thought why not ask my favorite community! if anyone has a few minutes I'd love some feedback from an outside source! Good or bad i appreciate it! thank you guys for your time hope you enjoy the Short Doc!
I'm a biracial woman with kinky hair, many black women themselves disagree about the word nappy. Some use it as an insult, some try to reclaim it and make it a positive thing, some see it as a negative word that shames black women for their natural hair. I personally don't appreciate the word, I prefer to use less negative/ politically charged words. When someone calls my hair nappy it really depends on the context, but usually I get slightly annoyed.
I dont usually do comments, but this was kinda strange to me. Reporting the banned by some random official picture and not speaking at all about the terorist attacks in Russia St. Petersburg. I actually did some digging and found some info, that you like talking about, people uniting and helping each other, people being actual people (there were this massive google docs and interactive maps where drivers were leaving their paths and the number of seats in the car to help out those who cant get home via undeground blocked by this attacks). That just seemed to look like msm, reporting only one-sided stories about some controversial topics like Russia. And I do believe thats the opposite reason why me, and all others, like you and your content. I really hope that I am wrong and you didnt cover this terrorist attack (while covering smaller ones, but not in Russia) because of some different reason. I hope I didnt sound so negative, I really do like your content ❤
By the way, there were some other interesting stories too, for example a false image of a terrorist circulating on TV made this guy unable to attend his flight and made his employees fired him. And all this because of false information by some people on the internet and his alleged "muslim" look, sad
padal3 He actually did not speak on it yet because he is probably waiting on more information on the story. If you have been watching for a while you would know he doesn't report on certain stories immediately for the reason he doesn't want to get anything wrong.
it is the natural state of a black person's hair. the text book would called it grade A3 it is tight curls. nappy is what the slave master would call our unwashed and un oil hair. our hair products little oil so it has to be oil constantly. our curls are very tight and not defined. black people use this term to insult each other
Key word "tried", all my comment meant to say is that stupid shit happens everywhere. I find it funny how he capitalizes on Putin and Russia while all this shit is dumb, I can go and post gay clown Putin on my Russian social network and I will be completely fine. All I'm saying don't believe everything that trendy to talk about. They not gonna invest man hours and Russian police is not that stupid to follow up on something like that.
Starz try to post any nazi stuff on something like Facebook and with just with few of your friends who will flag that as offensive, your post will be taken down from Facebook as inappropriate content.
Phill PLEASE talk about the Mocoa Landslide. The death toll has topped 300 and there are still hundreds missing and injured. This needs attention please.
Yeah, the article I read said Chechnya's leader denies it because there are no gay people in the republic so therefore you can't kill someone who doesn't exist. Then goes on to say that "If there were gay people, there family would send them to a place from which there is no returning" & people complain about Trump?
Hey Phil, I love what you do, but I wanted to thank you for offering your shirts in extended sizes! Thanks for looking out for the rest of us! I ordered 2 of them for me and my husband! Much love!
Can you go more in-depth on the UA-cam 10,000 views limit? As a creator I would like to hear more about the applying process to by pass this limit; I am already a UA-cam Partner so am I good?. I have a very small channel we grow a little here and there but I would hate to have the finish line (Hypothetical not actual) moved. It isn't the end goal to make money but reaching $100 dollars so I can get my first check and put back into my craft is a goal and a motivator. So I just want to know where should my hustle be targeted now! Of course at the end of the day its about the process, the fun, and I love what I do! Just trying to learn the new way of cracking eggs. Thanks!
Michael + Nicole, I feel your pain. My channel is also small. While I have so far received ten times as many views as your channel, I still fall under the 10,000 views bar. As of this posting, I'm at 5,489. Yeah, it sucks but 10,000 is very reachable. I'm more than half way there. Growth is a little slower these days as I recently put my channel on hold due to a possible corporate sponsor and when that fell through, I've kept on hold and will keep it on hold while I start up a new business ... which should give me more resources to do my channel with. That and I am re-evaluating the channel and its premise. Still keeping it as a libertarian react-to-news vlog but possibly from a different perspective to make it more stand out. I guess what I'm saying is continue to hustle. This is just another hurtle you got to jump. So knuckle down and rank out more videos. That will MAJORLY help you. I know it has for me. I have over 100 videos on my channel whereas you guys only have 13. Also, consider joining the online forum YTtalk.com. Lot of good threads there. Oh, and subscribe to Tim Schmoyer's "Video Creators" channel. Really good channel for starting-out creators. Mine his archive. Good luck!
X Amazors X I am aware of the process for getting paid. I know all about that and how it currently works. I am asking for him to go more in-depth about this current change and it's story.
I feel disappointed in Philip cause a few days ago in Russia there was a horrible terror attack and he didn't cover that, he didn't mention solidarity or that his heart goes out and bla bla. Like 11 people dead and that is not big enough story for him to cover? but the story about this picture where Philip gets to kinda bash the whole country is apparently a good story. I never supported Putin as a Russian citizen and yes I think banning this picture is stupid but what I came to see recently is that western media may be uncensored by governments but they are as hell biased against the whole Russia. Western media only covers very specific strories from Russia to support their preexisting narrative. No solidarity, no empathy for Russian people and it makes me sad.
yes thank you for saying that! Same. As a Russian I feel guilty for some reason. Please, people, don't think that all Russians are like that. We also think the law is ridiculous. most impornantly - we are NOT our government! We are not represented by it (and we never have been), we don't hold anything against you nor we want war. It's all political and it makes us look bad. To be fair, our MSM does the same to you:(
Phil I gotta say. I have been watching your show and I love it, and the information you give is very bi-partisan. your work has inspired me to look at the world with a lens that allows me to see both sides. I enjoy all of you videos and hope you continue to make this very unique and important content. thank you for years of service, best wishes to you and your staff who make this possible.
"nappy" is derogatory - its condescending to the texture of a black women's hair and its usually articulated with tough and thick hair that isn't as visually appealing as a white woman's hair #prayerhands
"Oh god, if i randomly ran into seven bullets, maybe we'll know why..." Charb said : "I'd rather die standing than living on my knees." keep the good work ;)
Oh my goodness that interview with Sophie Monk was a bit from one of the best Australian tv shows around at the moment! I feel like you would absolutely love it Phil as it looks at the news in a satirical way.
I think the black culture, specifically black women, are very protective of their narrative and definitions lately because we haven't been able to control those two things as powerfully as we can today and typically any insult/stereotype thrown at one black woman seems to stick to all black women. There's also a history with black women not loving their hair, something born out of our hair being called nappy or bad hair. Recently, there's been this enormous positive growth in that area where we no longer manipulate our hair, wear it natural and that movement has crossed over into other features that men and even other women have told us we should try and change or hide. We're very new in this growth and like any positive growth, you don't want anyone coming in trying to hinder it by yelling out those same old insults.
As a black person with Nappy hair I'm not offended (affended lol!) that French Montana used 'Nappy' as a derogative term. Although, I don't like the fact that he is a non-black person who profits from black culture and appropriates black culture when convenient. I love how his tweets, strategically used 'black' and 'African' interchangeably when we all know being black isn't necessarily the same thing as being African.
Wow, that's one of the first things in a good while that youtube's done that I'm happy with. Hopefully this stops people that try to make money off uploading music and movies and other shit they shouldn't be getting ad revenue off of from continually making new channels whenever the previous one gets shutdown.
GUYS PLEASE DONT SHARE THIS VIDEO AND/OR PICTURE!
WE DON'T WANT TO HURT HIS FEEWINGS!
That would be horrible.
LOL.
Philip DeFranco Don't worry we got your back Philly D!

Mrs. Sawyers ❤❤
Beautiful comment!
(I realize this was 9 months ago, but I'm sick and bored, so I'm binge-watching Phil's channel.)
I'm a lady of that African American decent and I usually don't say much online, but on the French Montana subject, I'm not offended.

AnaTheBanana you are the only one I can find who commented on that part.
that clap back gave me so much life!!😂😂😂😂😂
lol same. If her hair had been natural/an afro and he called her nappy then that'd be a different story. He was just commenting on the fact that her braids had been in too long.
GirlSpartan117 We all know what that looks like 😂
ballagrl11231 I was rolling
What image was banned Phil? I must have blinked and missed it.
The Putin Clown one
In Soviet Russia you don't randomly run into seven bullets, seven bullets randomly run into you.

hey phil, can you talk about what has been happening in Venezuela this week ? riots have been happening because of the situation here, and media(tv,radio) is not allowed to talk about it, social media is the only way we have to see what's really happening, and even so, it's not all "real news" (you know about fake news).

Saludos desde Mexico y fuerza!
JoJo Muchas gracias por tus palabras! me alegra saber que hay gente afuera que sabe lo que pasa. Por eso seria buenisimo que phil pudiera hablar de eso en su programa
I agree, what is happening in Venezuela is unconscionable. It almost seems like it's been going on for so long that it's not "news", on the other hand it's beyond horrible and people who don't know about it should exposed to what is happening. I would hope that Phil and team would take the recommendation and bring the story to light on his channel. Espero que más Americanos se den cuenta de lo que está pasando. En fin, Venezuela have parte de las Americas y no está tan lejos.
Veronica Capote socialism doesn't work, you people get that yet?
I'm a black person, and I believe that its just a plain old insult with her hair added in. Nothing was racist about it, and those that are calling it racist are probably just wanting drama.
Ovi Riley people can't even roast a person's shoes without being called racist
Ovi Riley I guess the argument is that since nappy is used almost exclusively to describe natural black hair (no weave, perm, or straightened), the term has a racial aspect to it.
+PsychoPanda9000 if you aim it against a white dude, you will be fine ;)
SnowballWar but if I roast a kid's Bob the builder Sketchers they're gonna shoot up my school
Ovi Riley I a person of diverse background am... affended by that statement. ;)
The second I saw the articles about the 10,000 views thing, I knew people were going to complain without reading past the headline.
I'm not black or a woman, but I'm very offended by his words. How do you not have spell check?
Are you offended or affended?
Offended because I know how to English.
Milk reggae?
Nah mayn pritty shor u meen affended
Nicholas Hartle lmaoooooooooo
As a superhero in training, I fully endorse the word 'draging'. Always felt somewhat affended by the extra g.

Again, this is just something to my mind. You mentioned that this is a conversation, and this is a conversation I would like to start with you as well as the audience. I'm interested to see if I'm the only one that is actually interested in this.
I agree 100% especially about the stuff w Russia and Syria
andrew jones I also agree completely, but do keep in mind he chooses to not report on some things as they are still developing so he dosnt risk misinforming. Otherwise I consider him the same way and think he should.
I agree with what you said Mattelyn. I understand and appreciate that, but the news is that it has happened. All of the facts of these events will not be fully known for months, if ever. There IS news to be reported on, in regards to this. He has done many pieces as they were happening, and made sure that we stayed informed. I understand that Phillip has a LOT going on right now, and I am not trying to be critical of him at all! I simply wanted to start a conversation.
He's already told us why he can't make videos about that right now. Phil is moving offices and does not have the time to do all the research it would take to present those stories fairly, I would rather him refrain from talking about them than doing a half ass job like every other news media tends to do.
He had repeatedly stated that he has a lot less time to properly research videos until he settles into his new office. So for now, he only has the manpower to cover simpler, more straight-forward stories. Where have you been?
I honestly wish people would actually pay attention before posting overly dramatic comments like this.
Black hair is not NAPPY if you are taking care of it. Afros are NOT Nappy, braids are NOT nappy! Nappy is when your hair is dirty, frizzy, matted almost, which is likely to happen faster with black hair because of its texture, but it can happen to anyones hair if you don't take care of it. And I think he said that to make a point, like your unclean and you can't take care of yourself...but honestly how the hell does he know her hygiene situation from her profile pic?
Wait a second... are you telling me that my views have to be... *OVER 9000*?

As a white man who identifies as a black woman, yes I am offended.
*affended
HighMagnitudeGT wtf ohh man...
HighMagnitudeGT the fact that you identify as a woman makes you a hero, but identifying as black makes you a villain, for some reason....
Hahaha
how the fuck is he a hero for identifying as the opposite gender? I don't se them giving out awards to kids at Autistic High! btw no idea if he's trolling or srs

As a black woman with natural hair, I have often called my own hair nappy. Me and my friends (who are also black women) use that term. To me, when my hair is nappy, it is tangled and is not easy to comb it. However, when I think it has become a generalized term used by people as an insult. People could say that my hair is nappy (meaning I don't take care of it) when it actually isn't because that is actually the style my hair is suppose to be in. They call it nappy because they are uneducated and think that all hair is suppose to be straight.
With all that said, yes I do find it offensive because Montana meant it to be offense just like the first part of his tweet. Yes nappy is a part of our hair, but it all about context and he meant it as an insult. To my knowledge, black people are the only ones with our type of hair and the only that gets classified as "nappy". He didn't use terms like tangled or messed up, so one assumes that it was racially charged.
TheGraceOfEbonee so us black guys apparently don't have nappy hair according to you.
zimbabweking I never said that.
TheGraceOfEbonee oh no, he called your hair nappy. whether "nappy" is racist or not, it isnt anything to cry about
TheGraceOfEbonee "To my knowledge black women are the only people with that type of hair". So using YOUR logic us black guys must have straight hair.
I think she was just not talking about men, bruh. But yes, it works with men as well, holy shit.
+TheGraceOfEbonee well said.
"nappy braids" was NOT the worst thing he said in that dis lol
I'm way more offended that this man can't spell.

Can you cover what is currently happening in South Africa right now. This includes the recent cabinet reshuffle by the current President of South Africa, Jacob Zuma which axed the finance minister, Pravin Gordhan. This was followed by the significant drop of the Rand against the Dollar and the country's credit ratings reduced to “Junk” Status by the S & P Global ratings. Furthermore, the result of this led to the citizens of South Africa coming together to protest towards the removal of Jacob Zuma from his position. Lastly, he is the president that unlawfully and failed to uphold, defend and respect the Constitution. He is the kind of man that said that aids can be washed away by having a shower, and had around 783 counts of corruption against him.
Reshal Luchman holy shit.
It's important to note that (AFAIK) the President of RSA is appointed by the government party leaders and organisers (including those outside parliment) and MPs owe their seats to the party directly as elections are single-electorate closed-party-list divisor. The President is not elected by the public (like the U.S. system is a state-weighted approximation of), or by party MPs who can still be voted out by their own electorate despite the party's national vote (like a Prime Minister after an Australian spill or British heave), or by the public who have registered with the party (like UK Labour has been trying), or a combination of the last two (what Federal Australian Labor did for their most recent leader).
So the administration of the governing party would need to be convinced and capable, not simply a majority of the party's Members or registereds.

1st: It's Phil with one L not two. 2nd: If you want for him to cover a story hit him up on Reddit or Twitter when he asks for it on the weekdays.
No monetization before 10,000 lifetime views is nbd. I didn't start monetization right away, but now I'm over 70,000 lifetime views and still have net received a check. Adsense won't send you money until you make $100 anyways
Totally unrelated but theres a video on the right suggesting I watch "What if 'The Matrix' Starred Will Smith?" *TERRIBLE IDEA*!!
Probably would have been great he was the first pick and it was in his hay day. Not to mention he is beyond a doubt a better actor than keanu.
as a black woman(cringe) i'm personally not mad about the word nappy when someone is talking about your braids nappy-ness is a valid insult and maybe she should tighten them up to avoid nappy centric comments on another note why tf did french montana blow up about a tweet that he wasn't even tagged in it's like he searches his name on twitter every to day to feel his ego or something lol
The Insider IKR! Don't know why everyone got so pissy about it.
Was anyone else very confused about the term nappy. I had to google it to find out if it ment something different in the US, turns out it does.
Me! ^^; I was all: "How is this used as an insult?! I don't get it..." Americans speak their own language...
Mishka Rae • Girl Gamer My first thought was that is a really weird insult. My second was well knowing Americans it probably means something different over there.
+Mishka Rae • Girl Gamer we Americans speak american ,bruh
TheJjcczz That was my thought process, too. Had to look it up on dictionary.com to understand how Americans use it...
what does nappy mean in other countries??
You know we're all gonna share it now, right?
OMG...
that maybe was the point

I'm a black woman and French Montana is from NYC and so am I and that's how we roast people, I genuinely believe him when he says he was just clapping back at her. But when I read it and he said the word " nappy" I already knew it was a wrap. These celebs need to learn that they can't do things they could do before they became famous. Had he been a normal guy and did that I promise you his black friends would have laughed, but he has a platform now and he can't talk to a black women like that with a platform we just won't tolerate it, and Nappy is now a derogatory term in 2017 most definitely, I'm black and I don't feel comfortable using it and when ppl use it around me who are black I'm like uughhhh....
I find French Montana's grammar offensive.
Raptros Pt Can't take you seriously when you spelled grammar incorrectly.
I was actually thinking of using affensive, but grammar was less obvious.
"...And let's just jump into it..." as if there ever was a time he didn't.
I can't wait for the new studio! I'm excited to see what you do with it
what the hell is wrong with you?
Sticks and stones may break my bones but
Dude wtf is wrong with you. I don't know you and you aren't funny. Leave me alone
Lex Grrez the difference in views between your uploads are crazy though.
Lex Grrez Dont listen to him if he had any balls he would post a real picture of himself as a profile pic and let make fun of his appearance honestly some people are just broken inside and take it out on other people so just ignore the hate
"nappy ass poetic justice braids" I'M WEAK😂😂😂😂😂 I'm using that on my sister when her braids need to get redone
As a black woman, the only thing I am offended by is French Montana's butchering of the English language.
-says he loves african beauty
- insults african hair.
makes no damn sense
Vanile Highgarden nah, he insulted HER hair. If she can't take the critique then she shouldn't try to come for other people. #celebsclapbacktoo
Kenadee Corhn black hair is commonly nappy, and nappy is beautiful.
not saying he's insulting the whole damn race. just saying he just contradicted himself by loving black people but insults a black women for her hair.
Mr Linda your jumping to conclusions, i didn't say he insulted the whole black race im saying he's a contradiction for insulting a women's hair when he's APPARENTLY loves black culture.
I have to say this I'm a black woman and it doesn't offend me that he said that because that's how people are. If you say something about someone they will say something back. If he said this is why black women...XYZ...then I would be livid because now you're talking about ALL black women. It's like saying ALL black men or ALL white women or ALL white men and so on. Was he wrong yes because you're on a platform. people see everything you do and you will get backlash lol is she wrong yes!! Don't go on a SOCIAL MEDIA website starting mess about ANYONE if you don't want the backlash. I get the point that he is on a platform and shouldn't be talking about African/Black queens...but he is a HUMAN he gets "affended" and will go in just like everyone else except when he does it it's more publicized. Can anybody honestly say they have NEVER in their LIFE called (or thought) someone NAPPY ...Besides Nappy=Happy
Nappy= Natural
Nappy= Beautiful that's how I feel.
I have literally never heard that term in my entire life, so I don't really have a scale for how bad it is, could someone please explain?

I don't know what to think about the 10k minimum. Even though I have over 10k lifetime views so far, I feel like getting to that 10k is such a hurdle on itself, depending on the genre that the UA-camr is trying to get into. Depending on the genre, someone's first video probably won't hit 1000 views within the first month, or even a year. It's like the struggle to get to 100, then 1000 subs for starting UA-camrs. It's important to weed out the abusers, yes, but I feel that not all the videos that have less than 1000 views are horrible. They just haven't been seen by people because of a number of reasons.
EDIT: I am not annoyed about the monetization thing. I should have worded my original post better, by saying that I don't know what to think about the 10k being 'enough information' for a channel to be valid or not. There was a channel I named in this thread that fits the description of what UA-cam is trying to remove I think (people that upload other people's things and such), and I get that, but it just seems arbitrary to say that 10k views is enough to determine the validity of a channel. Then again, I don't know what's going on behind the scenes and it might not just be 10k.
Taking a step back and looking at it again, overall I think this is an okay idea. I don't know how much it will hurt new creators, versus stopping the videos UA-cam is trying to stop. I also don't know if doing this will make advertisers come back. I just wish it was worded a little bit better or explained some of the aspects of it some more. The monetization limit was never an issue with me, but the wording of some parts irked me for some reason.
EDIT x2: I guess I grouped content creators as a whole, instead of just only monetized creators. It feels a little bit better now, but I still would want to know more details about it, and maybe more information will come in a few weeks.
Preach it ^^; Every single new subscriber or view is a joy for me, and so painstaking... The idea of having to hit 10,000...!! Eek.
Andy Plays All Night its a good idea people just have to stick to it and work harder to get more results just like anything in life plus itll feel alot better knowing you worked harder for it and your hard work paid off
Working hard for better results is fine and all, but like I mentioned, some new people's videos won't reach high numbers for who knows how long, depending on the genre. Someone could create something that was well made, well spoken, and all around a good video, but without an audience to see it, or not showing up within the search results within the first few pages, how will the person get views? I'm all for working hard and making good content, but my point was that it's tough to get those views/subs when you start out unless you do some sort of promoting, but some people might see that as just spam.
Well you're missing out on about $20
I've been working for over a year, with over 77 videos and I have maybe...a hundred views total.
"I take a second to murder their soul in 140 characters or less" might be my new favorite Phil quote! 😂
Damn Philip gets more and more savage on every video and I love it
the only ad left on youtube is Tai Lopez.... sad sad world.
GOD NO FUCKING JESUS NO OH GOD FUCK!
But dont you want some NAWLEDGE
Hey Phil loved the video, Im an 18 year old filmmaker and I don't really have anyone to show my films too so i thought why not ask my favorite community! if anyone has a few minutes I'd love some feedback from an outside source! Good or bad i appreciate it! thank you guys for your time hope you enjoy the Short Doc!
I'm a biracial woman with kinky hair, many black women themselves disagree about the word nappy. Some use it as an insult, some try to reclaim it and make it a positive thing, some see it as a negative word that shames black women for their natural hair. I personally don't appreciate the word, I prefer to use less negative/ politically charged words. When someone calls my hair nappy it really depends on the context, but usually I get slightly annoyed.
I dont usually do comments, but this was kinda strange to me. Reporting the banned by some random official picture and not speaking at all about the terorist attacks in Russia St. Petersburg.
I actually did some digging and found some info, that you like talking about, people uniting and helping each other, people being actual people (there were this massive google docs and interactive maps where drivers were leaving their paths and the number of seats in the car to help out those who cant get home via undeground blocked by this attacks). That just seemed to look like msm, reporting only one-sided stories about some controversial topics like Russia. And I do believe thats the opposite reason why me, and all others, like you and your content. I really hope that I am wrong and you didnt cover this terrorist attack (while covering smaller ones, but not in Russia) because of some different reason.
I hope I didnt sound so negative, I really do like your content ❤
By the way, there were some other interesting stories too, for example a false image of a terrorist circulating on TV made this guy unable to attend his flight and made his employees fired him. And all this because of false information by some people on the internet and his alleged "muslim" look, sad
padal3 He actually did not speak on it yet because he is probably waiting on more information on the story. If you have been watching for a while you would know he doesn't report on certain stories immediately for the reason he doesn't want to get anything wrong.
R M , yeah I hope thats the case
padal3 I thought this too
almost always a comment like this, there's always a reason why. and with him I'm sure there's a GREAT reason why
What exactly is nappy hair? In the UK a nappy is what we call a diaper so I'm a bit confused?
bmxfjolla i asked for an explanation which i thank you for, however please dont be racist, theres no need, makes you look bad.
Joy Walsh they're reported 🙄
Joy Walsh Pretty much the same thing
Coiled hair texture 4a-4c and maybe even 3c
it is the natural state of a black person's hair. the text book would called it grade A3 it is tight curls. nappy is what the slave master would call our unwashed and un oil hair. our hair products little oil so it has to be oil constantly. our curls are very tight and not defined. black people use this term to insult each other
Yeah it's stupid, but American government tried to ban Pepe the Frog 🐸 That wasn't stupid enough for you?
AlexanderUsov Nobody tried to ban it. They just made it a hate symbol (Granted it's still stupid as hell but pepe didn't become illegal)
AlexanderUsov its also an attack on the younger generation. they know memes are powerful & the failing media are still trying to control everything
Key word "tried", all my comment meant to say is that stupid shit happens everywhere. I find it funny how he capitalizes on Putin and Russia while all this shit is dumb, I can go and post gay clown Putin on my Russian social network and I will be completely fine. All I'm saying don't believe everything that trendy to talk about. They not gonna invest man hours and Russian police is not that stupid to follow up on something like that.
daviduribe004 no one said it was banned, Dems were trying to label it as a hate symbol which would could lead to flagging memes on social networks
Starz try to post any nazi stuff on something like Facebook and with just with few of your friends who will flag that as offensive, your post will be taken down from Facebook as inappropriate content.

God Emperor Trump I voted for Trump, Romney and Mccain but ok... sure. Anyways its in the news if you want to read up on it.
Yeah, the article I read said Chechnya's leader denies it because there are no gay people in the republic so therefore you can't kill someone who doesn't exist. Then goes on to say that "If there were gay people, there family would send them to a place from which there is no returning" & people complain about Trump?

Can you go more in-depth on the UA-cam 10,000 views limit? As a creator I would like to hear more about the applying process to by pass this limit; I am already a UA-cam Partner so am I good?. I have a very small channel we grow a little here and there but I would hate to have the finish line (Hypothetical not actual) moved. It isn't the end goal to make money but reaching $100 dollars so I can get my first check and put back into my craft is a goal and a motivator. So I just want to know where should my hustle be targeted now! Of course at the end of the day its about the process, the fun, and I love what I do! Just trying to learn the new way of cracking eggs. Thanks!
Michael + Nicole if all your video views together add up to 10,000 or more views you are fine.
Michael + Nicole you have 537 views altogether so you won't be getting paid. you need to have 10,000 views in total to get paid
Michael + Nicole, I feel your pain. My channel is also small. While I have so far received ten times as many views as your channel, I still fall under the 10,000 views bar. As of this posting, I'm at 5,489. Yeah, it sucks but 10,000 is very reachable. I'm more than half way there. Growth is a little slower these days as I recently put my channel on hold due to a possible corporate sponsor and when that fell through, I've kept on hold and will keep it on hold while I start up a new business ... which should give me more resources to do my channel with. That and I am re-evaluating the channel and its premise. Still keeping it as a libertarian react-to-news vlog but possibly from a different perspective to make it more stand out. I guess what I'm saying is continue to hustle. This is just another hurtle you got to jump. So knuckle down and rank out more videos. That will MAJORLY help you. I know it has for me. I have over 100 videos on my channel whereas you guys only have 13. Also, consider joining the online forum YTtalk.com. Lot of good threads there. Oh, and subscribe to Tim Schmoyer's "Video Creators" channel. Really good channel for starting-out creators. Mine his archive. Good luck!
X Amazors X I am aware of the process for getting paid. I know all about that and how it currently works. I am asking for him to go more in-depth about this current change and it's story.
Jack Decker Thanks for your reply and god luck re branding.
I feel disappointed in Philip cause a few days ago in Russia there was a horrible terror attack and he didn't cover that, he didn't mention solidarity or that his heart goes out and bla bla. Like 11 people dead and that is not big enough story for him to cover? but the story about this picture where Philip gets to kinda bash the whole country is apparently a good story. I never supported Putin as a Russian citizen and yes I think banning this picture is stupid but what I came to see recently is that western media may be uncensored by governments but they are as hell biased against the whole Russia. Western media only covers very specific strories from Russia to support their preexisting narrative. No solidarity, no empathy for Russian people and it makes me sad.
Glad to see someone else cares about this. I'm not feeling so great about being Russian-American at the moment.

Darya Khanolaynen there are terror attacks daily. should he mention every single one of them?
®735337707™ well why did we mentioned Paris, Brussels, Berlin, London? Oh yeah... western world. I forgot, my bad.
yes thank you for saying that! Same. As a Russian I feel guilty for some reason.
Please, people, don't think that all Russians are like that.
We also think the law is ridiculous. most impornantly - we are NOT our government! We are not represented by it (and we never have been), we don't hold anything against you nor we want war. It's all political and it makes us look bad. To be fair, our MSM does the same to you:(
Phil I gotta say. I have been watching your show and I love it, and the information you give is very bi-partisan. your work has inspired me to look at the world with a lens that allows me to see both sides. I enjoy all of you videos and hope you continue to make this very unique and important content. thank you for years of service, best wishes to you and your staff who make this possible.

im white an I have nappy hair, I'm not offended he wasn't talking to me...
I'm old enough NOT to be offended by anything really.. when you grow not much bothers you IMO
lol i get like 30 views but i got 1 vid with 60k lets go boys
"nappy" is derogatory - its condescending to the texture of a black women's hair and its usually articulated with tough and thick hair that isn't as visually appealing as a white woman's hair #prayerhands
LOL. No joke, I spewed my coffee during that "affended" bit by "french mantanya." You're the best, Phil. Keep em coming.

Oh my goodness that interview with Sophie Monk was a bit from one of the best Australian tv shows around at the moment! I feel like you would absolutely love it Phil as it looks at the news in a satirical way.
I think the black culture, specifically black women, are very protective of their narrative and definitions lately because we haven't been able to control those two things as powerfully as we can today and typically any insult/stereotype thrown at one black woman seems to stick to all black women. There's also a history with black women not loving their hair, something born out of our hair being called nappy or bad hair. Recently, there's been this enormous positive growth in that area where we no longer manipulate our hair, wear it natural and that movement has crossed over into other features that men and even other women have told us we should try and change or hide. We're very new in this growth and like any positive growth, you don't want anyone coming in trying to hinder it by yelling out those same old insults.
"I take a second to murder their soul in 140 characters or less" ~phil
This has to be my favorite quote in this entire video
Literally everyone on the black side of my family roasts by starting out with, "You nappy-headed..."
I'm not seeing the problem here.
As a black person with Nappy hair I'm not offended (affended lol!) that French Montana used 'Nappy' as a derogative term. Although, I don't like the fact that he is a non-black person who profits from black culture and appropriates black culture when convenient. I love how his tweets, strategically used 'black' and 'African' interchangeably when we all know being black isn't necessarily the same thing as being African.
Black woman here... I was more 'affended' by his inability to use a spellchecker.
thank you for being honest and fair! i highly respect you phil!
Wow, that's one of the first things in a good while that youtube's done that I'm happy with.
Hopefully this stops people that try to make money off uploading music and movies and other shit they shouldn't be getting ad revenue off of from continually making new channels whenever the previous one gets shutdown.
