The year 2000, or Y2K, was a year filled with excitement. The Playstation 2 was released, scientists detected the human genome, Vladimir Putin was elected President of Russia, and people were convinced it would be the end of the world… literally. These events set the tone for the rest of the early 2000s, but I would have to say the most interesting part of this era was the fashion.
Y2K fashion is making a huge resurgence in the 2020s due to something in fashion called the 20-year rule. This rule is the time it takes for a trend to die, then become fashionable again. Now that Y2K has reemerged, people seem to think that the innovators of Y2K fashion were predominantly White. In reality, Y2K clothes were heavily inspired by the fashion of Black creatives.
Due to the 20-year rule, Y2K fashion was heavily inspired by 90s fashion and consisted of denim, exposed thongs, sequins, logomania, tracksuits, camouflage, etc. Logomania was a trend in the early 90s where people wore clothes that were covered in designer logos. This trend was started by African American fashion designer Dapper Dan when he began putting bootleg prints of designer logos all over streetwear and his clientele just so happened to be the hip hop community. As his pieces were worn by the likes of LL Cool J, Bobby Brown, and Mike Tyson, he became well known in the Black community, and then eventually logomania was mainstream. Thanks to Dapper Dan, logomania was a huge part of Y2K fashion, but Dapper Dan isn’t the only black person to inspire Y2K.
Half black, half Japanese model Kimora Lee Simmons also had a huge impact on Y2K with the creation of her clothing brand Baby Phat in 1999 as a branch of her then husband’s, Russel Simmons, clothing brand Phat Farm. Kimora said she created Baby Phat so that women of color could have a place in the streetwear industry that tried so hard to exclude them. Black women in the music industry like Lil Kim, Alicia Keys, Missy Elliott, and Aaliyah helped make the brand mainstream by wearing Baby Phat in the 2000s.
Another Y2K trend popularized by the Black community was camouflage. In the 90s, camouflage print was a major part of Black streetwear due to army surplus stores selling camouflage clothing for so cheap.
When people talk about the inspiration behind Y2K trends, they tend to bring up names like Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, and Paris Hilton. While these women made Y2K trends more mainstream, they in no way created or innovated any of the trendy Y2K outfits they wore. This serves as a reminder that the world loves Black culture but not Black people.
A non-significant trend emerged for Asians reporting the highest pain threshold compared to all groups, (p =. 10). The study revealed important ethnic differences in pain. Consistent with previous studies, African Americans have a decreased pain tolerance relative to other ethnic groups.
In 2021, 40.1 million people in the United States were non-Hispanic black alone, which represents 12.1 percent of the total population of 331.9 million. Blacks/African Americans are the second largest minority population in the United States, following the Hispanic/Latino population.
During this decade, Black Americans sought stable employment, better living conditions and political participation. Many who migrated to the North found jobs in the automobile, steel, shipbuilding and meatpacking industries.
Only about 5.7% of physicians in the United States identify as Black or African American, according to the the latest data from the Association of American Medical Colleges. This statistic does not reflect the communities they serve, as an estimated 12% of the US population is Black or African American.
African-Americans exhibit lower pain tolerance and higher unpleasantness ratings than Caucasians in experimental pain studies. Several studies have compared Caucasians with Asians such as Indian and Chinese. Asians generally demonstrated lower pain tolerances than Caucasians.
The US Census declared that in 2014, 14.8% of the general population lived in poverty: As of 2010 about half of those living in poverty are non-Hispanic white (19.6 million). Non-Hispanic white children comprised 57% of all poor rural children.
The state with the highest relative population of Black Americans in the United States is the District of Columbia with 48%, followed by Mississippi with 39%, Georgia and Louisiana with 34% each, and Maryland with 33%.
States with the highest percentages of White Americans, either White Alone or in combination with another race as of 2020: Vermont 95.6% Maine 95.4% West Virginia 94.4%
From an Anglo-American perspective, 1619 is considered the beginning of slavery, just like Jamestown and Plymouth symbolize the beginnings of "America" from an English-speaking point of view.
"New Negro" is a term popularized during the Harlem Renaissance implying a more outspoken advocacy of dignity and a refusal to submit quietly to the practices and laws of Jim Crow racial segregation. The term "New Negro" was made popular by Alain LeRoy Locke in his anthology The New Negro.
Blacks are 10 percent or more of all practicing physicians in the District of Columbia, Georgia, Mississippi, and Maryland. Georgia fares far better than most southern states. Blacks make up 31 percent of the population and 16.3 percent of the doctors.
Pain tolerance is influenced by people's emotions, bodies, and lifestyles. Here are several factors that Grabois says can affect pain tolerance: Depression and anxiety can make a person more sensitive to pain.Athletes can withstand more pain than people who don't exercise.
Differences were especially strong in pain tolerance—even though male participants had higher tolerance, female participants were less variable across visits. According to the researchers, this was the first study to measure gender differences in the test-retest reliability of pain sensitivity in humans.
Some cultures, such as American Indian, Asian, Black, Hispanic, are very stoic regarding pain and may maintain a neutral facial expression despite being in severe pain. Some religions may believe pain is a part of God's plan, a test of faith, or penance for past sins.
