Boy To Man

[brandyisdope]

Owwwwwwwwwwwwww

[Clyntell54]

Did anyone else notice that both these boys were wearing wrist watches? GMAB. I love the irony at least.

[Clyntell54]

If we held to all of our traditions in this way from the beginning, we in the "modern" world would still be living like the caveman. Pity.

[Trumblebee]

oh wow, these are babies!! but they're all much braver than i am, i'd never be able to handle the pain from the facial tattoos or the whipping.

[ThexParanoidxAndroid]

not to sound culturally insensitive or anything but.... for people living in poverty these african tribes sure do seem to spend a lot of time and energy doing these "my wang is bigger than yours" exercises

[skittb89]

wtf? why did the second boy win? he flinged more then the first one!

[grafittiroom]

that girl was pretty without the tats.. why the face???

[theJimBug]

To me all of the kids have shown their adulthood going by their culture cause I my self could never handle that much pain and I don't get how they judge it to me it looked like they both flinched the same amount.

[Cre8iveSignWorks]

3 hours of pain from tattoos on the face for the girls, or 3 lashes and only 3 mins of pain for the guys?

WTF? something is wrong here....the girls are more man than the boys!

[aparajitaanjana]

Hi brother needs to chat a, Asian women busizz4me.info

[Jnigga94]

I always see this kind of stuff on TV ,This is the view people get on africa,

But me, myself I'm from africa and I've been back several times.

Never have I seen something like this , Maybe this happens when people don't have television to look at or Computers...xD

[MrAugustus88]

Even the cow has more brains than the members of this tribe.

[Michaelmyangel1001]

I have seen and heard stories from around the world about what boys and girls go through to become certified adults (going through pain, cutting,etc.) in order to marry and just get out on there own. We are so lucky here in the United States.

[throbule]

How ridiculous we can be human beings.

Whether black or white, we have devised and invented some very peculiar rituals that are supposed to signify something righteous, amazing or courageous, but usually highlight just how stupid we are.

Circumcision, male and especially female, silent religious orders, drinking animal blood, taking drugs, the death sentence, cosmetic surgery and Islam are just some of the pathetic and demeaning things that we human will be happy to endure.

ITS A STRANGE WORLD.

[bilal1910]

@throbule Why Islam in particular? What's pathetic about islam?

[Keanu181881]

1:08 = Butt secks

[cocainein]

i would like to be a boy

[Jonnyfaster]

You know not of which this ritual speaks...

You are unqulified to judge.

[goochieguy]

disturbing and vile

[Rusvi1]

ready for aldulthood for reciving some beating? i think not...

[Infuus]

Cool, they should introduce this in Beverly Hills too!

[MultiAfan]

That would hurt.

[kabutoluvsME]

cant they just consider her period womanhood??????????????

[heelfliplol]

i dont get it

[taliyeuk]

what is wrong whit this people

[greenhulk87]

wow... Interesting.. I guess not many people would want to go through that.. The thought of having someone with a long stick about to hit u is enuf to make me scared.. LOL.. Respect! The boy have torn skins and hes not even crying.. Definitely ready for aldulthood.. Peace!

[Dillan44]

i'm pretty sure whoever whips first would win, since the person being whipped would still be in pain while they do the whipping.

[Cleric775]

@Dillan44 You're right, maybe they should take turns.

Flip the coin to determine who goes first.

[tien3454]

wat kind of shit is this, gay ppl, hurting themselves.

[okano186]

Those gay ppl will knock the shit outa u gay ass loser.

[JeffreyEdward19]

Ya because bronze means everything right? I have never known a society with bronze ever beating a society with intellect.

[okano186]

Those gay ppl will knock the shit outa u gay ass loser.

[honors619]

lol i doubt it

[itisinickt]

sticks vs guns = ?

[edaini06]

fuck that....but hey to each its own

[x3Hien]

you people are sick ass bastar

[nevadavi]

[chenjohn]

wtfwtf

[SGMaster83]

thats not that bad, getting whipped 3 times... Give my dad a bottle of jose quervo gold and he'd beat the bejesus out of those kids

[BettyTBH]

Id fall on the floor and burst into tears before he even hit me lol

[ares713]

loll

[MarcineKKK]

rofl :P

[cacofonico74]

what about the challenging boy who was declared defeated. Has he to undergo successive rites of passages until he is declared winner? I mean, in the West they'd give you one chance only and then you're marginalised...

[KoolJust4U]

u cant stand becuz u are rasie up in a rich world that alway have everything and doest feel pain all the time. these ppl are rasie in a different as these thing happen to them all the time it not something bad at all.

[coachmo50]

i would stay boy.......

[barranness]

what would jesus do?

[ogasa4]

WALK on the lake WATER

Then TURN the lake's WATER to WINE

Then catch 5 fish from the lake

Plus 7 loaves from his pouch, then FEED the THOUSANDS in the crowd with it.

Then he would CALM the storm @ the LAKE.

He would raise the DEAD cells of the sours caused by the fight.

A pig will appear, then he would CAST OUT a DEMON from a chicken he had brought with him unto the PIG

[ogasa4]

((2))The 3hour tattoo girl will wash his FEET with lake water and bull's LARD

The 2 boys will beat him to death with their sticks, make a cross with it and CRUCIFY him by the shore of the lake.

They will name the LAKE GALAGUTA.

He will rise in 3days and order the FULANIS to tell the rest of the world that god was here, was KILLED by

[ogasa4]

((3))man and now they should die gruelsomely in arenas filled with beasts and gladiators in his name.

He will order them to go door to door spreading this GOSPEL.

Then he would disappear forever having done his job of confusing, dividng, and poisoning the minds of the believers for generations to come.

Thats what I think he would do, I dont know about you.

[barranness]

amen!

[ogasa4]

aleluah!

[NightheartTheWarrior]

Ouch! I respect these people's culture, but I don't think I could stand being whipped like that.

[scobyknife2]

thats pretty messed up

[Kenny23jump]

retarded

[corbinyo]

what happens to the kid who lost???

[ifrit1780]

It would be so hilarious if he has to do it all over again, until he wins.

[skylahasabag6]

oww

[abluechipstock]

civilization is a wonderful thing

[slayerguitar]

kind of a stupid way to find out who is a bigger man but if they believe it i guess u support em lol

[thenxs]

what a bullshit...

[naruto3071]

ouchies

[lilgothmaster]

omg thats sad i probley wouldn't be able to do it!

[hikarusweety]

It quite sad really. I don't think I could be endure that pain.

[WarmbloodJumper]

its called diversity ass holes. just becase we dont approve doesnt make it right or wrong. open your eyes and read a damn book.

[SkunkyBeaumont]

What if we don't approve because it's wrong?

[WarmbloodJumper]

skunky- its only wrong because our society and culture makes it taboo. take a sociology class then you can talk...

[kevin15664]

well said

[DameinTK]

Go fuck yourself.

[claryington]

punnchmaster if your not racist why didnt you just say "dumb people" ..... not dumb negro. fuck you.

[kirbyman1kanden7pf]

stupid.

[PunchMaster1]

Dumb negros, ( i am not a racist ) there is no need for these people to do this act of self detriment.

[querida1314]

we can't rilli blame them for carrying out this rituals, really. You may think it's sick,yea bt that's what's in store for them in the wild. We live in a very different environment compared to them. Their greatest battle is for survival, and the only way to make sure that the tribe survives and procreates, only boys who've passed all these fearful challenges are worthy to become fathers.

[beckerf4n]

retarded niggas

[ipwnuatnight55]

cant they just be men when they balls drop?

[slurren]

Combined IQ of the group: 14.

[baolinh111]

not fair, the first wounded guys is weakened to do serious damage, bad judging, they both are winner for standing

[tawandachristopher]

yer i know

[0410warner]

how do they determine who goes first?

Flip a coin?

See who is darker???

[kikass9815]

That looks painful

[Sean23bklyn]

both are very brave..

[Huey0001]

Kids in America drink poison, smoke plants and shoot chemicals into thier arms to show how manly and cool they are.

Oh and lets not forget football, a sport where you run into other people not 3 times but dozens.

Yup America Pwns these guys.

[lachmeneger]

yea america and other "civilized" places it is the most desperate guy who is the coolest, while seeing on this movie in africa it is more who has the greatest mind or strongest arm or best reflexes...

[lewashitonian]

oh yea, what do u call plastic surgery(boob jobs) and competitive sports, taking steroids and etc. Just because we live in America doesnt make us better and dont judge people because they're different. At least these practices build character.

[lewashitonian]

that why we as Americans have so many problems. Most dont have or know they're role and a lot of boys & girls think they are men/women just because they turned 18.

[Ca8Amy8]

i'm glad christianity isn't psycho

[hott97]

this shit is so stupid

[stonecoldarc]

THANK GOD FOR BEING AMERICAN! All we have to do is physically grow up to become men and women. better end of the deal..

[noobish21]

shut the fuck up u bullshiter!

[noobish21]

fucked up people!

[gaylord93]

forget clans forget rituals forget everything....just live a friggin life and be happy about it!!....

[OofruitoO]

Anybody else glad they live in UK/USA/where-ever thats not Benin? =D

[misskhan0]

FANK [GOD] IM HERE IN THE U.K !!! :D

[Krowsnose]

The "civilized" man has the advantage of technology, but has lost his bravery very long ago. And this my friends, is why international powers come and go... the guys on the bottom can only get stronger while the guys on top get softer and softer. Of course that's an over generalization, whitey's been in control for a long ass time.

[ihatepanda]

thank god i libe in america where to become a man al u hav 2 do is become 18 lol

[chickenfingers991]

Thats what it is to the government. I don't know about you but I think you are not a man until you have had sex.

[banvir99999]

wow that takes guts.

[moose3k]

sure this comes across as dumb and stupid, but how are we the "civilized' people any different..we commit brutal acts but in differnt ways by means of warfare,genocide,econimic injustice,etc. Basically what im trying to say is that humans in general are stupid. Peace!

[AskJeeves17]

Im baffled about the intelligence of these people. HA! merca

[MjFanSally]

why they ruin that girls pretty face with them ugly tattoo's :(

[imallamafromspace]

Its not ruined.

you could say the same in our culture and wearing makeup or getting a fake tan. I'm sure some culture somewhere sees it as idiotic to go to such lengths like waxing etc. In her culture tattoos show she is a woman. If she didn't get them then she would not command the respect she has now.

[MjFanSally]

your right, my bad..

[caroncarol]

oh my god, sick. these people are so much braver den what the people in the developed countries. those two boys seem like gonna cry their eyes out. eek

[maximus0032]

dumb.

[buninoy28]

that was so painful...but thats how they measure the braveness of their tribe member...

[RaptorOfRellekka]

Ouch, :(

[Ghettoman30002000]

she hot

[BeechSundowner]

Merry Christmas

[Qdude10]

This is nothing.....my mom kicked my ass with a flute...... >_>

[Lukin4SumthnReal]

You made me laugh man...Thanks!

[banvir99999]

lmao

[HighGuy512]

I'm not white???? :S

[ifly2gethi]

Proving once again that the two most-common elements in the universe remain hydrogen and stupidity.

[jkl1234567890]

dont forget about hypocracy, because you are making fun of how these are so stupid, eventhough you are every bit as stupid.

[lillianelliott]

you wish you could shit on anyone and get by with that you raceist

[cal619guy]

lmfao, these people are wack!

[lillianelliott]

i think thats how they make money,,maybe thats why they have large family's, i would never give birth to a child knowing they would ever have to be done like that but what ever they gotta do i guess they gotta do it

[itsanthonyhere]

Doesn't that ink damage the liver and kidneys??

[HighGuy512]

Even though I was taught to respect the cultures of the world, i hope that these cultural proceddings die out quickly. That is simply too much pain! :S Sorry guys, but this is simply not right. I'd probably live shamed cos i wouldn't be able to look people in the face knowing that i've scarred someone for life! :'(

[baronvonvoe]

You also have to see it from their point of view. Honor still holds a great deal of meaning in their lives and they would rather die than live with shame. Besides these two rituals are much better than the scarrification of other tribes NatGeo has shown.

[HighGuy512]

you mean there are rituals worse than these?! *shock horror*

[baronvonvoe]

Yes although I can't find the vid right now. One tribe uses scarrification for their rights of passage. An elder takes a special shard of metal he has fashioned and makes hundreds upon hundreds of cuts on a person. Men, women and even babies have this ritual performed to signify different stages in life.

[treeman2007]

I must agree they need to go around the world and stop all this crzy shit!!

I think thats after W.W.3

[xxxjet]

errrrrr, it's far worse than veil covering the face. go all human rights group, go to rescue them!!! Hurry!!!

[chicagodogrow]

Damn.....my people back home are ON IT! Good sh1t.

[ccdef]

oh shit. i feel like a little baby now. ):

[miRAZAloco]

now this is culture, white people need cultere cuz they got none

[pornfartin]

i think i kinda agree with you.

[CheeezMaster]

You're talking about America. Europe has culture.

[Lamnont]

SUUUUUUUUUUUUUrrrrrrrrreeeeeee­ee, we have no culuture, thats the typical americans, and these people have no cululture either.

[tinkkiou]

I dunno I might just be like, listen ya'll, don't even try, I'm going to be shamed and that's all there is to it cause this shit AIN'T GOIN DOWN. :P

[treeman2007]

I've heard of being pussy whipped! but not

literally..looool

[Drewboimagic]

its pretty common, all cultures have some way of passage. some more painful than others

[twwhite26]

and we wonder how gangs came about....looks like a gang initiation to me

[lordpaulxxy]

this is madness

[remixjxpop]

this is sparta.

[Spiralworm]

These rights of passage always seem so brutal and un-necessary. These kids look so young. I really don't want to bash someone elses culture or rituals but there must be another way to usher a boy into manhood or a girl into womanhood without having to endure such pain. That shit must really sting.

[aubreexxoo]

poor guy

[just2men4me]

The girl got it worse then the dude..... LOL

[anthoneycrunch]

someone buy them a tatoo gun and generator.

Give em' nunchakus for battle.

[LovelyYTRocks]

Black on black crime.

Lol.

[ekingh]

give'm some boxing gloves and let them go at it, that whipping was stupid

[whatevergkl]

pffft...how barbaric

[gogoutube]

like um okay? violence and facial scarring. so diff from my culture!

[netzero26]

Wait, but does his opponent become a man too? because that would suck if he isn't considered a man after losing...

[petesangyal2]

smack that!

[hannes123456]

gimme me some more,smack that,till you get soure

[netzero26]

Damn, but hey, it's their tradition.

[LINK455]

Ouch
