[@dariusd2003]

This is why I fucks with the doll!! Can laugh, have a good time, and still educate your audience.

[@ovoirv86]

Right!

[@AmoMe2009]

That is what made me subscribe to Funky Dineva! His educated vernacular and comedy are everything.

[@cyndisays]

DEE MEECH me 2. His education is clear, I appreciate it.

[@lady0917]

Yes indeed, I love Quentin Latham aka Ms Dineva Ross!

[@cultivatingwellness4028]

Lois Robinson True! Where I live in the Middle East, the particular country that is, there are no African businesses, not one. But the government here export so much crap to African countries, the African embassies here need to do better.

[@FXXFFX]

Why is the Injustice wig look like Momma Joyce's wig??? Lmaooo

[@ColaJames]

Lmao

[@drayad2]

Heh heh

[@soyyo1720]

Can I say something?

[@natashafrye7194]

So true, I was thinking the same thing

Cuz mama Joyce prolly has the same ole nasty ass shake n go

[@Three_Diamonds]

"I'm not anti-white, I'm just pro-black." Love that statement! They knew what they were doing typing & posting that sign. Why they thought no one would complain, is beyond me. The southern states are where this is most expected (no offense to those who reside there. I love everyone. :)) So tired of the racism, subtle or not.

[@ThisIsCandA]

That plantation comparison was genius!

[@grayscar05]

C'est Chrissii it was actually not, everyone knows about that. It's just so many black people (Einstein's manager) are so fucking oblivious to the ramifications and presence of racism today and can't connect the dots.

[@grayscar05]

you telling me you don't know the slave owners were racist? Get out

[@ThisIsCandA]

Lol wow!

[@Prudence82]

+C'est Chrissii Yes, it was genius

[@LeVarDD]

it was genius whether you knew it or not. Some people just want to hear themselves talk.

[@daelovely1736]

"Don't pull that wool over my eyes, hunny. Down her back just enough so she can cascade the shade, but so a bitch could see." Come thru Dineva!! This quote will carry me through the rest of 2015.

[@realsuperchanchan]

I have to use that

[@habibaaq8256]

Hey hunny..that gave me LIFE!!

[@CreoleKing1986]

yaaaaasssss I'm laughing my ass off

[@KingofReads]

You spoke so much truth!

[@lilbaby245]

YES DINEVA!!! I can understand an owner not wanting a certain dress and customer. But it's BLATANT when the items they describe that don't include other articles of clothing that aren't dressy. I went to a club on Panama City Beach a few years back that had some of those same rules when it applied to dress. You could walk into that very PCB club and see they meant "no niggas" cause the predominantly european american crowd walking around wasn't in upscale or dressy, etc. attire. They could walk in flip flops, hunting gear and whatever country, trailer trash outfit they felt wearing and not get second guessed.

[@Ashley-lv5vl]

I use to live in PCB and yeah there's a lot of places like that! Trueee

[@earthshaker1217]

lilbaby245 There was way too much stuff on that list and way too specific.

[@813ENTERTAINED]

There has been a misunderstanding of the "Wonderful" city of Atlanta. In the early 80's there was multiple news article circulating about how "ATL is the black mecca" and "If your black and have a degree come to Atlanta" and after all it is the birth place of Martin Luther King Jr., Always was a major transportation hub , and the founding place of many successful (white owned) southern businesses. But it all ends there. Atlanta is one most racist among all southern cities, no wonder its the birth place of MLK. Till this day alot of people still feel ATL is the place were blacks can become successful yet the black population of ATL makes up about70% yet out of that percent only 10% are successful and among that 10 percent most of them are in the Black entertainment sector. So i say that to say this, Funky Dineva you absolutely correct and i agree 100% "not anti white just pro black" powerful words indeed..

[@grayscar05]

813ENTERTAINED interesting point!!!

[@earthshaker1217]

813ENTERTAINED That's interesting to know because my brother and sister live in ATL. I've thought about moving to ATL because it seems like a city that's great for black people, but I think it's no different than Houston.

[@grayscar05]

earthshaker1217 Houston has a better economy and is bigger .... it's different. The mentalities of blks in ATL r different than the ones in Houston.

[@earthshaker1217]

Interesting. I haven't been in Atlanta long enough to actually know, but my sister seems to be over living in Atlanta. I know that both cities are incredibly diverse.

[@813ENTERTAINED]

earthshaker1217 Actually Houston is alot bigger than Atlanta and more diverse but primarily because it has greater population than ATL.

[@CookingwithHoney]

I always feel like ive just been educated after watching your vids! And chile.....when u said hot and musty i almost choked on my pear....lol.... You speak the truth.....

[@rashadwalker3311]

I live in Midtown on 3rd Street by the Fox Theater. My best friend & I have been talking about how shady the clubs/restaurants on 10th street are all the way to Ansley Mall area too! I've experienced to cold shoulder from Blake's, Joes On Juniper, & many more. Thankfully people who have been ignoring my warnings & claiming im overly sensitive finally get the picture. They don't and never wanted our black asses in their establishment to begin with! Great video!

[@WassupTristan]

Cmon Dineva!! "IM NOT ANTI WHITE, IM PRO-BLACK!!" This man is iconic simply from his intellect! No ONE can sit in a wig, speak in a feminine tone, and where (basically) drag and serve the type of knowledge and know-how like this man does! These videos are the ones that keep me coming back! You betta READ bitch!

[@PrettiestProblem]

"I told ha 'Don't pull this wool over my eyes hunny! Dial ha back just enough so she can cascade the shade... but so a bitch could see.'" HAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!! Epic!!!!

[@moniquemarrie]

You better TALK to the people, Dineva!!

[@faithwalkllc]

Your best, clearest, most informed video hands down. Kudos.

[@teel.8390]

L. Michael Gipson This video is in competition with the Welfare Reform video. Both should be written, published and delivered to us all.

[@TheMoseswoman]

I agree with everything you've said. It is time for us to stop going where we are tolerated instead of celebrated. If we support our own people, their establishments will be just as fabulous, places we'd be proud to hang out. It is time for us to not look at our people as "Us and them," although there are differences within our culture. If my brother is not welcome, nor am I.

[@TheOracle1906]

Say that Dineva! This is why I don't fuck with some of the spots in Charlotte like Scorpios for instance. There have been too many incidents. I've said that the promoters there need to create their own establishments for our kind. I applaud you for bringing this to our attention.

[@heycandiandi1]

I told my husband that in this time we are all as black ppl going to have an opportunity to speak out on discrimination, but all of us black folks will not take the chance. This is how we are going to change things by addressing the covert racism on site. Don't back down. You can stand up for yourself in a civilized way when need be. But if someone takes it to the next level, then hey.. You have to teach ppl how to treat you. And think about your black bro and sis while you're at it. 

[@ComyaBee]

You spoke nothing but pure truth!! I'm not from Atlanta I'm in NYC but the same shit happens here. The Jews have a thing where a dollar has to pass through seven hands before they allow it to leave their community. It's about time for Black folk to start doing the same thing.

[@gwenndavidd]

Well said Dineva! I do not reside in Atlanta but we here in California (Pasadena) experience similar situations. I personally try to keep my money in my community and do what I can to spread the word of new or old black owned establishments. I appreciate you posts and look forward to the next one.

[@amberturner8579]

I love the doll, but I really like when you speak on real issues. Dropping knowledge with a sense of humor. Love it.

[@kierahmax]

I effin LOVE this video!!!! Black people NEED to hear this regularly until we get it through our heads. It was needed and hopefully we take some action and effort to support our kind... and just be more conscious of whats being done period. This was greatness!!

[@ericakenny3727]

kierahmax ESPECIALLY when you live somewhere like Atlanta where you have the numbers and there are plenty of black-owned options. If I lived there, you'd never catch me in a white-owned social establishment

[@Empresslove444]

Yassssssssss! Doll!! I am with you 100%. I live in Atlanta born and raised. And for the most part Atlanta is pretty diverse. You will encounter a few establishments that maybe a little shaky. But I'm willing to bet, they aren't even from Atlanta. I can honestly say, personally I haven't experienced anything that felt questionable.... about me as far as my ethnicity go. But that doesn't mean it's non-existent. I really appreciate how you expressed yourself on the matter. Very clear and precise. I love that.

[@jackieslvgirl]

Yes blacks should patronize their own businesses, but the horrible attitudes we have to deal with when we walk through the door and see our own sitting behind the counter is unbearable. About 95% of the time when I attempt to do business with my own people I have to lower my standards of accepted service. I can't deal with the nasty attitudes we have towards each other, as if my walking into your business is bothering you and I ruined your day. I'd rather go to the person who will at least "act" like they appreciate my business and not roll there eyes as soon as I walk through the door. Black business owners need to learn the art of good customer service and the "old fashioned" service with a smile😊.

[@heycandiandi1]

BTW, I've lived in Ohio/Michigan for all my life and this same shit has,been going on for years. Not just in the south.

[@MsMorenaTv]

Im sure he is speaking on the south because he lives there.

[@heycandiandi1]

Mea Morena And just as he shared his experience I shared mine as well. I wasn't trying to compete for which area is the most racist. The point I was making is that it's fucked up all over regarding this matter. Maybe I should have elaborated more in depth. Sorry.

[@cyndisays]

Where. It's to much out of control gun play in michigan. Ohio is so racist I don't think it's part of the 50 states.

[@minigangsta128]

Andrea Harris I'm not trying to discount what he is saying, but just know there are multiple perspectives to everything. I walk through area all the time, and there are prominently White, Latino and Black men, ALL laughing and mingling. These establishments are trying to keep out Thugs and young people expecting to "turn up." You and I both know that is not only Black people, nor is it ALL black people. In fact, most of the gay black men I see walking around midtown at night are very much the OPPOSITE of all the things described on that list. They are happily welcome at Blake's.

[@stephmalcolm6737]

I just love when people come online and and voice their views in an educated manner. Especially people of color! Even through I don't live in Atlanta or even Georgia per say this video can pertain to anyone who notices these actions in their respective cities.

[@jthompson8503]

I SO LOVE THIS AND EVERYTHING YOU SAID WAS SPOT ON AND TO THE POINT! "IM NOT ANTI-WHITE, IM JUST PRO-BLACK!!!" WE NEED TO SUPPORT OUR OWN AND ITS VIDEOS LIKE THIS THAT HELP FOLKS BECOME MORE SOCIALLY CONSCIOUS SO THAT THEY CAN DO SO! WONDERFULLY DONE DOLL!

[@KrisJanJack]

...in Shawn's [Bradley] words *"...if you don't want my money well then I DON'T want to give it to you!"* He described this energy as having some tolerance for the intolerant.

[@boseknows0]

Funky Dineva at his best!!

[@SherwoodAnderson]

My Cuban friend has a Spanish saying that's loosely translated as "They chew me, but the dint swallow." It's a way of saying that you're tolerated but not fully accepted. Great points Dineva!

[@jbar_85]

I agree with you saying about learning to integrate with straight people- it's true! I grow tired of going to the same ol same ol gay restaurants and bars in Fort Lauderdale. There are so many other great restaurants to choose from. I understand you when you say that you are pro-black in regards to supporting your community financially with business. I am glad you are here speaking the truth Funky Dineva!

[@marjoriesmith162]

"We shall overcome to the left hand side with a swing low sweet chariot on the right" lmao where did you come up with that one

[@Deresco1]

Been going to Blake's for 5 years now and I'm Black. Haven't had any unwelcomed attitudes towards me from the staff whatsoever. I don't wear any of the clothes on the list because that's just not my style. Perhaps that's why I'm not offended as a patron but I do understand why those who dress that way would. The reality is a lot of places have dress codes that includes bars, nightclubs and yes restaurants as well. It's not always a race thing. There are establishments who don't want a thuggy or unclassy image. Blacks aren't the only people who wear baggy clothes and doo-rags. Pick your battles better people.

[@SoSoSteph]

Thank you. Please look up Kung Fu Saloon. The DOJ did an investigation on them for the same practices. My friends here in Houston have dealt with this in our midtown and Washington Ave. Area.

[@2wealthy4U]

Never go where you're NOT welcomed!

[@EHCBunny4real]

I promoted a Florida hotel that leased out space to a comedy club who occasionally had Black comedians as their talent. The hotel GM thought the club's guest might intimidate the hotel's guest, (because they was Black.) The GM could not tell the club owner not to hire Black comedians but they did everything they could to harass them, including hiring off duty police as security who searched their guests.

[@sammyjocreativeconcepts3217]

EH CBunny So they wanted the rental money, but made their patrons as uncomfortable as possible?.....same old story...take our money and then insult us.

[@jonssyy]

[@DarkBoo007]

Vocabulary is extraordinary! You delivered a true message that people need to understand! Of course you're going to get people who are stubborn and will disagree without a true proposition.

[@QueenK88]

Big chains and medallions chile, who wears that??

[@taylorharris1796]

This has got to be the most accurate and most real description of midtown Atlanta. I have lived in midtown for over 9 years now, and absolutely fucking agree with Dineva. I have been to Blake's Einstein's, Joes on Juniper, and a few more establishments and the vibe is very much, " we will tolerate you" but we don't want you here. After the whole issue with that sign, I will never go to Blake's again even when friends ask, I decline and go elsewhere. Buckhead is the same as midtown, they are the most racially segregated areas, but not segregated like back in the civil right era, but you can notice it subtlety without establishments outright saying "No Blacks Allowed"

[@BaSuperStar386]

I like that u informed us of the issue gave your view point & then gave other options so can't nobody say .... But there isn't anywhere else to go

[@IconicCutz]

I don't live in ATL, but thanks for letting us know so I won't go when I'm there.

[@quincybroussard2413]

So real! Thank you for your knowledge. I'm one who is guilty of still going to these establishments but you have definitely opened my eyes

[@iloveheavyd]

Loved this video Dineva. Very eloquently spoken. I'm new to Atlanta and I will try the places you listed. I appreciate that you presented a problem and provided a solution. Not just the regular, we need to come together rhetoric. You listed minority owned establishments to spend our money. Thank you.

[@earthshaker1217]

Funky Dineva hit some great points though about society. Once you know the tricks of PR and business, you can see the tricks a mile away, and all you can do is present them the information and perspective and let them work with it.

[@natehicks25]

and addition , I liked how he gave us alternative places to go , whether it be of your lifestyle or not .

[@jnyerere]

I usually don't comment on Dineva's videos. I just watch and enjoy in 'silence.' I love how Dineva not only mentioned the problem, but came up with the solution to the problem. Great video as usual.

Go innnnn Dineva especially regarding the plantation...... Give it to em raw

[@4268serena]

[@aegontargaryen6269]

Maybe I'm racist lol I don't like most things on that list either.

[@ocky88]

I'm trying to see... did you even listen to the video? Like with the volume on?

[@NaturallyShamere]

***** lol I'm wondering that as well. Honey, you're black. It's literally impossible for you to be racist just because you don't identify with those things. The point is that the owners generalized us all that way to subliminally put out the message....sigh nvm just watch

[@RnBFAN06]

***** I'm in tears @ "I'm trying to see..." DEAD

[@aegontargaryen6269]

That's my thoughts but clearly others disagree. Those are the rules here in NY. But i don't live in the south so I can't judge. And to be fair I didn't finish the video.

[@ICONICPARIS]

Hi Dineva...I came across your site this evening and am glad I did! You spoke your words to the fullest understanding. You have a new subbie!!

[@beautifulbee9810]

I'm a straight black female. Don't really know about Blake's but this video was very on point!!! U are so intelligent. I love all your videos.

[@jbar_85]

I went to Atlanta a few years ago. I will say, I left and I felt that the gay community there is very segregated. I felt sad that in America, we still have large communities that are SO obviously segregated! You are always keeping it 100!

[@calvineaton4795]

Yessss Quentin Latham you did THAT. Read, instruct, preach, and SPEAK on IT.

How eye opening!I would have never thought of this situation in that manner! Thanks

[@lisae9958]

Dineva is so funny!! I thought the opening was hilarious - My Hair Is Laid Like Injustice . . . This Is A Freedom Bang (so original I almost couldn't listen to anymore after because I could not stop replaying it and laughing). Love It!! But the line at 10:30 gave me pause and almost a heart attack (LMAO)!! 'My bang might be long, but bitch it ain't over my eyes . . .' PRICELESS!! I'm from the old school and I haven't laughed like that since Adele Givens came on the scene - so real . . .

[@knrayford]

Your comments reminded me of the time I left the house for work with my stocking cap on and no wig. The stocking cap was so tight I thought I had the wig on but didn't. ThankGod for the rear view mirror in the car. I was adjusting it when I saw my head. I flew back in the house and changed my appearance. This has nothing to do with racism or the story your telling which is very serious so I apologize.

[@vanmckinley7936]

OMG you got me slapping the screen!! you know these folks don't want to hear/know the truth. Dammit you better tell it and how about that truth is everywhere not just in Georgia hunty! I love the "cut back enough to shade don't leave the wool over my eyes" comment!! LMAO

[@jholland8462]

Amen to that; Dineva! I do not spend my money where I’m not wanted!

I love your analysis and your calling out of the class issues among black people! Insightful! What a platform?! Bravo!

[@bloomingtruth210]

STAY WOKE!

[@GQBlue3]

DC's club scene was like that back in the day, too. I can't speak about it now because I'm older and not out there, but back in the day there were certain clubs we just were not welcome in. But the bad part was, the black clubs were so poorly maintained that going there was not even enjoyable - at least for me. So eventually I just quit going out ... I always found the private events to be a bit better. Club culture in the gay world is very strange.

[@Breanna_monique]

This is just beautiful. Funky Dineva you can be a character but Quentin Latham is well-versed and well-spoken. Nothing but the truth came out of your mouth. Loved it!
