I’m a shedder and since I don’t have the leisure of lengthy protein deep treatments I’ve taken the advice of using black tea. I’ve also added Vegetable Glycerin and Biotin to my regimen. The correct order is shampoo, or co-wash, condition, detangle, rinse, then add the tea rinse. You can rinse after applying the tea or use it as a final rinse. My method will be soften my hair with Infusum 23 or my Vegetable Glycerin and Water Mix, condition, detangle, put in big twists after I detangle each section, rinse my twist of the conditioner, shampoo, rinse, apply the black tea rinse then proceed to style my hair. I will not be rinsing the tea out of my hair. Preservatives I put in my Black Tea Rinse and Vegetable Glycerin Mix : Grapefruit Seed Extract and Citric Acid. You can order the preservatives here: www.soapgoods.com

***Download the MP3 at jasirix.bandcamp.com*** A few months ago, Tim Wise wrote a widely circulated article called, “Imagine if the Tea Party Was Black ” which challenged America to take a close look at the hypocrisy of the Right Wing. Now, a Pittsburgh rapper is accepting his challenge in true Hip Hop form. Jasiri X has released a video called “What if the Tea Party was Black.” The Hip Hop artist says that he got the idea when Paradise,a member of the pro-black rap group X-Clan, forwarded him a copy of Wise’s article. “I saw the article and I liked the concept,” says the rapper. So Jasiri hit the studio with producer Cynik Lethal while Paradise grabbed his video camera and they went on their mission to defeat the Right Wing propaganda machine. LYRICS What if the tea party was black Holding guns like the Black Panther Party was back If Al was Rush Limbaugh and Jesse was Sean Hannity And Tavis was Glenn Beck would they harm they families If Sarah Palin was suddenly Sistah Soaljah Would they leave it with the votes or go and get the soldiers Yall know if the tea party was black The government would have been had the army attack What if Michael Baisden was on ya FM dial For 3 hours every day calling the president foul Would they say free speech or find evidence how To charge him with treason like see he’s unamerican now What if Minister Farrakhan prayed for the death Of the commander in chief that he be laid to rest Would they treat it as the gravest threat or never make an …
great vid…beautiful hair…thanks
@skendles Hi! You have to use un-decaffeinated black tea. ;0)
can we u any type of tea?
@JoiDior Not long…if you don’t want to use a preservative…then make enough that you can use in one day or the tea will start to mold in about 2-3 days.
How long do you think the black tea will remain good if you don’t have the preservatives?
Just had to stop by and show some Love, I have learned so much from your channel…PLEASE keep sharing your knowledge….
@FreeWorshipFreeWors Okay very cool, i’m definately adding this to my regime. I combed my hair yesturday and sooo much hair came out! :O Thanks for this video and response.
@gggrinz Leaving the black tea in my hair left it feeling a little stiff but once I applied my moisturizer and styled my hair as usual…my hair was fine. Shedding has decreased dramatically. I love the black tea. It is definitely one of my staple products.
Hey, Harmony, did your black tea “leave-in” work? Did it leave your hair feeling a bit hard or stiff since you didn’t wash it out like everyone else? Did your shedding decrease?
@CoCoAdREam22 Hi! I’ve never used rosemary..so I can’t advise. However, I love my citric acid and grape-seed extract so I’ll stick with that. ;0)
hi, We talked about preservatives before….but now I’ve begun makin my own growth oil “concoction”. ANYWAYS ..I’ve noticed that Rosemary is a suggested preservative?? Question? I’ve included the Rosemary essential oil …since I have made Rosemary essential oil an inredient….would that substitue my preservative??? PLEASE ANSWER!!!
I have always been a shedder.
This is interesting cause I did a black tea rinse today and now I’m watching you talk about it.
@glitterandglueforyou lol, i totally agree!
@CoCoAdREam22 awww thanks so much! ;0) I’ve listed the info in the “Description” Box.
Hello…..You and your hair are absolutely gorgeous..(skin “glows”!!) You mentioned that there would be information about the preservative(s) that you use….where did you purchase your citric acid and gf seed extract? Will it be in the form of an oil, powder……??
@msalkapone09 Sure! But I’ll tell you this…black tea will DEFINITELY be a part of my staple products! I love it! My shedding has decreased dramatically! It pure and natural so I don’t think apply it to a child’s hair will be an issue. Check out the “Profile Section” of my page for production information and ordering instructions. ;0)
I love to hear you do and talk on your video you have taken your love of your hair and become really knowledgeable which is commendable. Thanks love the videos
Can we get a update on this video?? would you do this treatment on kids hair?? Do you have a website for the products your selling? t
lol you said not today and your using kinky curly!!!
Thank you so much for posting this vid!!!!
I shed a lot, because I have a thyroid disease called Grave’s Disease. It’s a hyperactive thyroid disease that causes a lot of hair shedding as well as other symptoms. I will DEFINITELY be trying this method, so I hope this works for me! I’ve just started on my Biotin as well, especially because I’m pregnant, so I hope the combination works well together. Thanks again and this has just been saved to my favorites! Beautiful hair as always!
I absolutely LOVE your hair. I can’t wait until my hair is close to your length. I know it will take a couple of years! You inspire me!!!
Oh its really pretty in the back too!
@SadiquaP and if you can stand the smell, REAL garlic rubbed on your scalp. onion juice is good too (good for bald/thin spots) stops the hair b4 it even falls/sheds
@lilsisa427 Nope…all the mixture did was reactive the products. Twisting just re-defined it again.
To Jasiri X:
DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz recently stated that requiring people to present an ID or Driver’s License to vote was equivalent to Jim Crow laws. Her words: “…now you have the Republicans, who want to literally drag us all the way back to Jim Crow laws…” See, I was demonstrating the reality of the Left playing the race card.
Now is it racist to favor requiring a person to present an ID or Driver’s License to vote? Yes or no.
@missmonicawright “I can’t wait to meet Jasiri X – his message is right on time!” – Your words. Jasiri X accused the TP of racism and TP supporters like myself will respond. Don’t like it? Too bad. Go visit and TP group yourself and see that the lies of the TP as racist et al are just that: lies.
@CAM8689 That isn’t what the news said. But having an all black march like that with black nazi leaders lead me to believe it was a racist promotional meeting like the KKK of old.
@MrCombatveteran were you alive during the million man march it was heavily dissed especially people like Farrakhan among others.
I’m from a mixed family. I’ve found more black folks that were racist than white. Hands down.
A very thought-provoking video. I’m so glad you included Cynthia McKinney in the song. She was my congresswoman and I saw first-hand what they did / tried to do to her. She will always be my hero and her inspirational search for the truth should never be forgotten!
@Aegius – you have a chatter going on in your mind and now want me to be apart of that internal dialogue. I didn’t say what the TP was or is in my comment. My comment has everything to do with Jasiri X’s message in this video. I will not explain what he is saying I think he does a great job on his own. If I may, I think part of your problem is that you are thinking and listening to yourself while others are speaking. You cannot be in a conversation if you are not listening. Best of luck.
@missmonicawright If the TP is racist, why are there so many non-Whites as spokespersons for it? Why have they endorsed non-Whites such as Nikki Haley, Susana Martinez, and Herman Cain? What does favoring requiring a Driver’s License or ID to vote have to do w/racism?(The NY Times columnists and others on the Left have made such claims that it is. So how & why is it racist to support such a requirement?
I can’t wait to meet Jasiri X – his message is right on time! Thank YOU!
@piousone “That’s a good question: if the tea party isn’t racist, why aren’t they supporting Governor Bobby Jindahl for the presidency? Why is that? ” B/c he isn’t running for president, but many TP ppl are supporting Herman Cain.
That’s a good question: if the tea party isn’t racist, why aren’t they supporting Governor Bobby Jindahl for the presidency? Why is that?
@membrain4444 Shows just what you know.Herman Cain is now running for the GOP,and is backed by tea party members so that leaves the question if it is a WHITE movement as you and the dum a– guy in this video says it is,then why are they supporters of Mr.Herman Cain?In fact i’ll take it one more step and ask if you seen the protests in Madison that group was also mostly if not all white,so does that mean unions are for only WHITE people?
@piousone So why didn’t the TP respond to the election of Gov Bobby Jindal if it really is about racism then?
Actually I shouldn’t be talking to u, who equated Jews forced to march w/Nazis w/Blacks who VOLUNTARILY speak at rallies and link the TP to Loughner, when the federal indictment gave no reference to the TP, Palin, talk radio et al. You have NO CREDIBILITY. Just GET LOST! GO AWAY. i communicate w/sane & rational ppl, not Loughner or you.
@Aegius None of these issues were brought up when they came to fruition under former President George W. Bush. Your President never consulted the Congressional Budget Office on a single spending proposal, and he never vetoed a single spending bill. Now, all of a sudden, there’s more fiscal concern in the last three years than there was in the prior eight years. You gave George W. Bush a blank check, and now you want to limit govenment spending. Amazing.
@NewarkBrickCity1970 You mean being concerned w/$1.5 trillion deficits annually, $14.3 trillion nat’l debt, $3 trillion debt of local and state, $60 to $100 trillion unfunded liabilities in Social Security, & Medicare, gov forcing us to purchase a product at gun point(health ins), gov dictating to us what kind of products we can & cannot purchase(lightbulbs, cars) and the Constitution trashed is the “way of the dodo bird”. Lefty lunatic spending is the way of the dodo bird.
@brysonisSXE okay and the basis for calling the TP racist is what? That Obama is Black? Okay, if Harry Reid or Nancy Pelosi were president, would the TP disband? Why did the TP endorse non-Whites for office such as Nikki Haley, Tim Scott, Alan West and Susana Martinez, if it is racist? Why has the TP had so many non-White speakers at rallies if it is racist?
The real laughable bunch of hypocrites are the Lefties who decry racism over whatever they want and then get called for it.
omg if the tea party was black, could you imagine the outrage?
they wouldn’t be considered “working class Americans, who want less government”, they’d be demonized left and right.
the tea party is a laughable group of hypocrites, that are becoming more and more irrelevant in America.
SOME tea baggers simply hate other americans solely based on skin color, this news isn’t groundbreaking, many white people just don’t like the idea of a less white america, this is old news.
As a gay person I have noticed that most black people are homophobes. If you want to stop the hate you should stop it yourself.
@piousone I think you should have said gone the way of the dodo bird. It fits their mentality.LOL
All people that label the Tea Party of being racist are in fact bigots and themselves a racist. If the Tea Party were black not a single news agency would call them racist. Kind of like nobody called the million man march racist. Dropping the race card makes you a bigot. Crying wolf and calling every white person you don’t agree with a racist makes the real cases of racism ineffective. Every minority race has plenty of racists too, not just white people. I’m reporting this video for being racist
?s for Jasiri X: If the TP is racist, why didn’t it form in Jan of 2008 in LA in response to Bobbi Jindal becoming governor of LA? Have there been protests galore against Nikki Haley and Susana Martinez as gov of their states? Have Allen West and Tim Scot received protests galore since they took office from TP groups? Why have no reports of signs banning non-Whites from entering TP rallies been made?
I hereby challenge Jasiri X to meet w/ a Black TP leader. I provided a list of Black TP leaders and will do so again. He knows that there are many of them. Come on Jasiri X, show some spine.
As for everyone else, go visit a TP group and make up your own mind. BTW, the TP has had profound influence on legislation in WI, TX, NY, FL and other states, so it’s doing great.
Here is a list of Black TP leaders:
William Owens, Alfonzo Rachel, Kevin Jackson, Bob Parks, Mychal Massie, Alan Keyes, Niger Innis(National Spokesperson for the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE)), Mary Baker, Selena Owens, Robert Broadus, Wayne Perryman, Sonia Schmidt, David Webb, Nate Whigham, Herman Cain, Lloyd Marcus, Jennifer Burke, Deroy Murdock, Deneen Borelli, Mason Weaver, Angela McGlowan, Kim Wade, Tillman Calvert, Carol Swain and Ken Gladney, Franz Kebreau.
Just meet w/1 of them.
R.I.P. to the tea party (bowell) movement. Americans finally woke up and decided they didn’t want to share ranks with mendacious, violent, red neck, non-achieving lunatics suffering from a persecution complex. I suppose now the GOP will have to once again reinvent itself. Whether the term is religous right, neo-cons, militia men, or tea baggers – it’s all the same radical nonsense.
I wanna see Sara Palin debate Sista Soulja.
Now!!!
