Phila. Mummers parade new years day!one of the best in the country!!!!

[@neudeguimaraes7298]

It looks like Brazilian Quadrilha, but without the dance and up-beat songs.

[@judaprinxbeatz.8008]

BECAUSE IT'S FROM AFRICAN AMERICANS. THESE WHITE PEOPLE STOLE THIS TRADITION FROM AFRICAN AMERICANS. THIS WHOLE "TRADITION" STEMS BACK DURING COLONIALISM. CAUCASIANS FROM EUROPE STEALING LAND AND EVERYTHING ELSE FROM THE ANCIENT AFRICANS THEY ENCOUNTERED.

Those costumes always make me think that this is the straight version of San Francisco's Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence. This parade always gave me the creeps when I was a child, to be honest. When men do garish they go all the way -- no holds on outlandish ornaments in the brightest colors available. But it looks like they're having a good time.

Can one say culture vulture… this is sad

[@twst1]

Omg, stfu with that woke bs. Culture is supposed to be shared, it influences and blends you dumb C. But please, explain to the rest of us which cultures you're referring to and how its being picked apart by carrion?

@. IT'S FUCKING SICK AND STUPID. MUMMER: • archaic or derogatory an actor in the theater. Old French momeur, from momer ‘act in a mime’; THEY ARE MIMIMG IN 'BLACKFACE' AS THE ANCIENT AFRICANS KNOWN AS 'THE MOORS'. WHO WERE IN THE AMERICAS. IT ALL HAS IT'S MASONIC ORIGINS AS WELL. WHEN THE ANCIENT AFRICANS WERE IN POWER. NOW YOU HAVE CAUCASIAN PEOPLE PARADING THIS SICK "TRADITION" AS OPOSED TO THE AFRICAN AMERICANS IN PHILLY.

[@judaprinxbeatz.8008]

@. WHITE PEOPLE PARADING AS IF IT'S "THEIRS" WHEN THEY INFACT COPIED THIS FROM ANCIENT AFRICAN AMERICANS. MORON
