StereoTypes - Ratchetness

He's ratchet, she's ratchet, that's ratchet. What exactly is ratchetness and what makes someone or something ratchet? Is it good or bad? Do we hate it or embrace it? Ryan Hall hits the streets to investigate in this new episode of StereoTypes. Watch more StereoTypes here: bit.ly/stereotypes_show

The girl with the fro is very cool, she seems philosophical and enlightened.

[@EJbubbletea]

its interesting that most people automatically are associating "ratchet" with black women...

[@rufusgreen7778]

exactly...and there are always new words to demean women

[@jassellb]

"..with some Flaming Hot Cheetos"

[@LazyDreamZzz]

That chick with the fro started her interview with "one time when i was high" ... Im Done hahah

[@Deya1987]

One day when she was high... What?! Now that's ratchet! lol 5:36

[@mrmidnightmovie]

Hilarious and 100 per cent.

[@strawberryfields4eva]

if anything people always drinking and partying at clubs and twerking are ratchet. getting high with your friends and eating food at home is not lol

[@Deya1987]

oh ok

[@InfiniteRandom]

Dejarnarra MeQuelle Actually, I appreciate her honesty. :) I couldn't believe she said it, but she was so tactful about it so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@Deya1987]

Ok

[@ablacksquare]

Ryan, missed you and this show. I think one thing that could have been explored is the celebration of Ratchetness. The song by Emmanuel and his brother, was an anthem celebrating that hater within that at some point or another was a reflection, too!

[@mauricecarter5831]

THE GUY WITH THE MIKE THE HOST YOU WEAR SOME SLICK SHIT !I LOVE IT!

[@xXTr3Tr3Xx]

A Ratchet is an mechanical tool that moves in one direction.. It's a teeth like tool

[@Sindyred]

Ratchet is 5 levels below ghetto. Like, having a double baby shower with your daughter or son and he/she is 13 and you are 26. Or collecting money/gifts from 4 so called "baby daddies" but neither of them is the actual child's father.

[@Kingofgrowers]

LMBO ! You do stand up?

[@whoyathought400]

[@adorablebelle]

Me, too. My friends keep telling me that when they hear someone say ratchet, they think of me... Not okay. LOL. D:

[@reeree113]

[@indierouge21]

That last definition hit the nail on the head. doing something you know damn well you shouldn't be doing...

[@ebonywahine]

I am a Interdisciplinary scholar and I write/ teach Cultural Studies so I know something about how to READ a cultural production thank you...I see that you must have had to press this argument with several of us as I was not the only person to point it out. I am very much aware that this how it heavily edited, and ahh there perhaps is the rub! I enjoy the show and am happy that new pieces are being produced.

It's not Ratchet but horizontal stripes makes the you look wider versus vertical stripes make you look taller and leaner.

[@ynellynel]

[@realguapgetta]
