Significant Discovery: First known Black American family of Kalmyk descent

Takeaways: Be prepared to pivot, even when you think you're on the right track. Be OK with being wrong so you can get things right.

Kalmyks are tribal Mongolic people who settled in Russia. It's estimated to be only 300,000 Kalmyk descendants worldwide - with only 3,000 in America.

Quote from: The First Black Kalmyks on January 17, 2025, 06:29:02 PMWhite Chicks actually introduced Karen before karen was a thing

It's funny but its also socially conscious af. Ahead of it's time

The Wayans are pure genius . On many levels . Period



They were Karens?
yeah

Entitled, oblivious, condescending

Don't sleep on the Wayans

They're goofy but they low key be handling business

They give social commentary without TRYING to give social commentary. All the time

They even dug a lot into social issues on the "Wayans bros" tv show

An episode that comes to mind is the rich white woman who wanted to use her influence to take advantage of Shawn sexually. Giving "Mandingo" teas

It was funny but there was def a clear undertone of consciousness - especially considering Shawn wasn't receptive to her advances. They painted her to be a predator.

Put some respect on their got damn names

!!!!!!!!

I would say they don't get enough credit for that but I don't think they're looking for a pat on the back

That makes it even more dope tbh

It's not forced/fake
