Their culture tells them not to tell anybody, be tough, suck it up,” said Gabar Rodriguez.Īllegations reportedly first cropped up in former Zulu member Ronald Savage’s 2014 memoir. ![]() ![]() “Many times, Black and Latino men get raped, molested as little boys, and their culture tells them not to go to the police. “Children are collateral damage in these systems and it’s time to stop enablers.”Īdvocates at the rally who know the victims said that many were not exactly “altar boys”-that they did engage in crime and gang activity as youths, but that doesn’t mean they don’t deserve justice for being abused as adults. “Typically, the victims feel threatened, and this is a group of survivors that have been severely threatened and are standing up,” said Hamilton. Hamilton said the courts are currently experiencing a backlog of cases due to a combination of COVID and “bureaucracy.” She said there’s no chance there’s less abuse in these communities it’s that most people will not come forward. University of Pennsylvania law professor at Marci Hamilton said that people of color are “vastly underrepresented” when it comes to being victims as children. Everyone knew, but no charges were or have been officially filed. Instances of child molestation of young Black boys in the music industry were by no means unknown decades ago, said advocates. Our administration stands with survivors of sexual abuse.” “After allegations surfaced, the Universal Hip Hop Museum assured the administration that they cut ties with the Universal Zulu Nation and that Afrika Bambaataa has not had a role at the Universal Hip Hop Museum since 2016. “Any form of sexual abuse is reprehensible, and we condemn any individual or organization involved with these acts,” said a City Hall spokesperson in response to an Amsterdam News inquiry. ![]() In an extensive letter to Mayor Eric Adams, Wills and activists detailed their grievances. They said it is a conflict of interest to have public city and state funds support an “accused pedophile.” The group demanded that Bucano resign and Bambaataa memorabilia be removed from the museum. The museum’s founding members include Executive Director Rocky Bucano, Shawn Thomas, Kurtis Blow, Bambaataa, Grandmaster Melle Mel, Grand Wizzard Theodore, Mickey Bentson, and Joe Conzo, Jr. “This block should be flooded with people.” “I’m not going to stay quiet like a lot of you punks,” said Mikail at the protest. He said there may be trophies or Polaroid photos of others with these alleged victims that implicate their involvement. Visibly shaken at the podium, he recounted his time with the “cult”-like gang culture in the Zulu community. She likened the situation to 2018 rape allegations against music mogul Russell Simmons and other major hip hop figures who attempted sweep their victims under the rug.Ībdul-Malik Mikail, 45, a former Zulu member spokesmen, said that he was involved with the Zulu organization from when he was 14 to 37 years old. “This problem with the Zulu Nation is indicative of a bigger problem in hip hop,” said writer Leila Wills at the protest held adjacent to City Hall park. In the interim, Hip Hop Stands With Survivors, a collective of advocates, former Zulu members, and sexual abuse survivors, banded together to protest Bambaataa’s involvement and his works being displayed at the Universal Hip Hop Museum (UHHM) in the Bronx this Monday. A decision in the sex trafficking lawsuit against him is still pending. It’s been years since the disturbing allegations of pedophilia and child abuse against musician Lance Taylor, aka Afrika Bambaataa, and his Universal Zulu Nation organization were brought to light.

Monologues that seemed to be nothing but the mildly amusing anecdotes one might hear from any streetcorner wiseguy were being cheered by tens of thousands. It was apparent Eddie Murphy could do no wrong. Though his film “48 Hrs” was loaded with cliches and violence, it became a huge hit, and another mediocre concept, “Trading Places,” also bashed box office records. Eddie left “Saturday Night Live” to become a box office champ in films, concert touring and record albums. With his open leather jackets, gold chains and entourage, and his sold out concerts in the largest venues around the country, he carried himself not as a mere comic but more a cross between a rock idol and the Heavyweight Champ of the world. ![]() Murphy not only became a hot TV star, he became a super star on the concert circuit. I mean, if God would have wanted whites to be equal to blacks, everyone would have one of these!”Īnd with that, Eddie held up a giant radio. I don’t see no judge saying that every two bathroom attendants have to be white! All I’m saying is y’all stick to playing hockey and polo and we’ll stay in the courts. Now it’s 1980, we’re all on welfare, and by the end of next year y’all will be on welfare too. Then in the early 70’s we braided our hair…y’all braided your hair. I mean we ain’t got much, at least let us have basketball! Is nothing sacred? Any time we get something going good, y’all move in on it. Complaining about teams with “token whites” on them, he shouted, “This is the most disgusting thing y’all have pulled up to date. Raheem railed against the encroachment of whites-in basketball. The Murphy message was lighten up, or get down, depending on who was listening.

Shortly after he was a regular on “Saturday Night Live” and soon the hit of the show. He rose quickly, performing at New York’s The Comic Strip for affluent East Siders who found his street jive an amusing novelty. ![]() And when the cycle for angry young men ebbed and audiences wanted a smiling new face, Murphy took over for Richard. Murphy talked about sex like Richard, cursed like Richard, made faces like Richard. On stage Murphy was Pryor without the hatred and bitterness. Admittedly growing up in an environment far removed from the racism and taunts that Richard Pryor knew as a child, Eddie’s idol was Elvis Presley whom he thought “had more presence and charisma than anybody who ever existed.” When he got into comedy, the young kid gravitated Richard Pryor albums loaded with all that cool cursing. Eddie went to Roosevelt Junior-Senior High School, and performed at the Roosevelt Youth Center talent shows in 1976. ![]() His mother remarried when Eddie was nine, and the family settled in Roosevelt, Long Island. For a time after his father’s death he and his brother Charles were placed in foster care. Murphy, like a rookie “pheenom,” had seemingly come out of nowhere to conquer the comedy world while barely out of his teens.Įddie was born in Brooklyn. “Ol’ Cos,” like a veteran baseball pitcher, had spent decades achieving superstardom.

She recommends that people with thick hair types curl their hair using 1-inch sections at a time. "If you want volume, you’re going to take a horizontal section and curl while lifting from the root," Jennings explains. It seems like a small detail, but the direction you part your hair can affect the final style. Section your hair for the style you want to achieve. This Kiloline Professional Heat Resistant Glove ($6, Amazon) has thousands of positive customer reviews. And while we're talking about heat protection, it's a good idea to use a heat-protecting glove to keep your fingers safe, especially if you're using a curling wand. For example, a product that only protects up to 300 degrees won’t be as effective if your curling iron is set to 400 degrees. “Reading the fine print is key,” says Dr. Before using any product, you’ll want to read the instructions to make sure that it’s suited for your particular use, hair type, and hot tools. There are a variety of formulas that you can use on either dry hair or wet hair before blow drying, explains Dr. Always use a heat protectant.Ī heat protectant can act as a barrier between your hot tools and your hair. You’ll need this to make sure you’re using a heat styling protectant that works with your specific tool. If your device only offers one heat setting, you can typically find the temperature information on the manufacturer’s website or packaging if you still have it. Jennings recommends the following options, which are all pictured below: GHD Curve 1.25" Soft Curl Iron ($199, Sephora), GHD Curve 1" Classic Curl Iron ($199, Sephora), and the GHD Curve Creative Curl Wand ($199, Sephora) Curling wands also have one benefit over a curling iron: They won’t leave clamp marks on your hair. Use a curling wand if you want that tousled beach wave style with a larger curl at the root and a tighter curl towards the end. For example, a 1.25-inch barrel provides softer curls that are larger in size, whereas a smaller 1-inch barrel will give you smaller curls, she says. Use the right size and type of curling iron or wand.ĭifferent sizes of irons create different curl styles, according to hairstylist Janine Jennings, who is head of education and training at U.K. If you really prefer to use a curling iron every day, then look for other ways to keep your hair healthier-like towel drying or even air drying your hair instead of blow-drying if you can. She recommends using hot tools every other day at most. There’s no denying that heat strips your hair of its natural oil and makes it dry, says Dr. It’s just kind of frazzled, and it doesn’t hold form.” If you notice that your hair feels drier or frizzier than normal, then it may be damaged, says Dr. When this happens, hair becomes damaged and won’t hold a curl. (These are very strong chemical bonds that keep the protein strong.) In healthy hair, these bonds are unbroken, but elements like sunlight, bleach, hot tools, and hair dyes, can weaken the bonds and make them break, explains Dr. ![]() Hair is made with protein that’s held together by disulfide bonds. Your hair might be hard to style if it’s damaged, says Dr. Avoid using a curling iron on damaged hair. Keeping your hair as healthy as possible is important in achieving curls, which we’ll get to next. However, devices like curling irons apply heat directly onto your hair, which is why you should avoid using them on damp or wet hair. All hot tools, including blow dryers-can make your hair weak. You’re going to damage it more when it’s wet,” says Dr. “Putting any kind of heat on wet hair is going to be much more traumatic compared to when the hair is dry because the cuticle is completely open and exposed. You should start with completely dry hair before using a curling iron, flatiron, or curling wand, says Shilpi Khetarpal, M.D., dermatologist at the Cleveland Clinic. Below, you’ll find their advice, along with helpful photos. That’s why we asked a hairstylist and a dermatologist about how to use a curling iron or curling wand for the best results. There’s a lot of factors involved with effectively curling your hair, including using the right styling products, figuring out the best temperature for your hair type, and maintaining your overall hair health.
