zulus clearly do not like the naacp and neither do they like 'take e'm down' organzation.


just too funny...


about the zulus, is a parade organization that was founded in early 1900's. the pratice of blackfacing started there.


this is the best part, in addition to black members, it has white members, so everyone has to black up on parade day..


I never knew that!

I did not follow them. their gimmick was not my thing.



u have to be a orleanians to understand where this is coming from. it is a black thing.


some get it, others don't. it is what it is.


there was a funny zulu skit done by a well regarded sport newscaster (he was a new orleans icon) and it was funny as hell. but would have been called racist today.

Shit brotha, you must live in New Orleans, Nebraska!

Either that, or you're one of those folks who run and hide during Carnival.

Here's one of my favorite floats from the 2017 Krewe de Vieux
