I love how you ladies embrace your blackness and understand your identity❤❤❤

Just recently, I went to Pennsylvania, and I took a tour of the Amish community. How they live. Why there school system only goes up to 8th grade. and one thing they told me they don’t look at race either you’re an English or Amish

[veronicacampbell]

What type of community are you a part of do any of the preacher or leaders you know have YouTube channel we can check out ?

[e.diamond]

Hi Ladies! You have explained what community you are not a part of. But I think we are curious about what community you are actuallu a part of and why you dress as such, what you believe, etc., out of curiosity. Thanks! ✌🏽

[veronicaj]

You ladies are beautifully holy. Please stay that way. BTW, I have a almost 19 year old son. We have been praying for a wife and I hope he finds one that dress and lives holy like you ladies. He is biracial also. His name is Emmanuel. ❤

Beware. These people allow confusion- look at the comments.
They do not give straight answers.
Confusion is NOT of my God, the living God, Jesus Christ of Nazareth!
You've been warned!

Do the dark colors of your dress signify anything in particular? Is the edict within your community simply “modesty”, or are certain colors encouraged/discouraged? It’s true that by wearing what looks mostly culturally coded to Islam or specific anabaptist sects, it will be assumed by most that you’re Muslim or that you’re somehow affiliated with any of the « plain » communities such as mennonites, Hutterites, Bruderhof, or some type of new order Amish, despite your being black. Some type of Orthodox Judaism would be a more logical guess for people to make than anabaptist of course! But many ppl you encounter are not very exposed to other cultures and subcultures.

I felt curious about these things after watching a few of your videos and picking up on the frustration you feel about being incorrectly identified by the ppl you encounter out in the world, and by hearing you talk about this style of dress as sort of a de facto uniform. It’s an interesting subject in itself, since a uniform’s purpose is to communicate cursory information to the outside world about who you are and what group you belong to. It’s necessarily a choice that was made at some point to adopt a style which is very close to the dress of the groups mentioned above, so inasmuch as you’re constantly being mislabeled, have other color or pattern options ever been considered by the leaders you mention? Because I was curious, I googled the organization Real Black Excellence and the landing page showed a photograph of people in colorful African dress quite different from the clothing you’re wearing in these videos.

Just finished the lovely interview you put up with your moms! Thank you for your interesting content, I’m enjoying your videos very much.

I’m new here, so please bear with my questions:

1. Are you two currently part of an Amish community?

2. Is it true that Amish people shun technology or is that a thing of the past? (Just curious about this YT channel)

[Noahevaa]

But you all aren’t black or white, you’re both. Just curious, why this emphasis on one part of your racial makeup?

[Noahevaa]

How do you know these precious,
Little children, whom I see often, dressed in traditional Amish attire, with their white siblings and parents, who treat them just as if they were their biological children, aren’t accepted??? They most certainly are. You should do more research before making such bold, untrue statements. My comment that there are black Amish is in response to your statement that there aren’t, you didn’t clarify Amish “groups”. If you do your research you will know that the reason there are so few blacks among the Amish is because the Amish are descendants of German-Swiss immigrants. Their racial “isolation “ if you will, isn’t from being prejudice.

I think before you speak on this and have yet to experience the world outside your space. You can not say there are no black Amish... don't stand so firm on your words if you have not traveled.... there are alot of community's that will surprise you

[mondoreacts]

I was wondering why y'all were wearing those Amish clothes.

[debratiller]

Yeah it is many communities in the south were established under Amish or Mennonite founders and we adopted many ways as descendants of slaves. Even the dressing …. Go black and look at the dressing of slaves from the south. We just evolved to a more colorful and artistic way of expression through clothing.

[chrishenry]

My African Americans brethren are always complaining about the system this and the racism that, I say go live like the Amish free from Technology. Most can't do it.

[mwilburn]

I thought you were Not Amish. How would you know?
