Slaves jumped the broom because white people wouldn't allow them to get married on plantations, this was one of many acts of self determination that black people took part in to recognise their own humanity amongst people who saw them as animals. This is literally a symbol of BLACK LOVE. It makes no sense to do it with anyone else other than another black person.
Coli Pawgers, is breh out of line for this?

Yall crehs or something?
Nope. For one my family is from the Caribbean and jumping over brooms at weddings ain't what we do.
For two I'm a New Yorker and I don't see too many newlyweds jumping brooms at the end of their weddings up north. So I'm guessing this is more of a Southern tradition.
For three as I mentioned earlier I hate superstitions. I'll decide my fate, not some stupid activity that was invented way before man had any idea what he was even composed of. And before someone says: "It's just a silly tradition, nothing to get so bent out of shape over," I think adhering to "silly traditions" is one of the biggest and stupidest time wasters. They're proven not to affect anything, so why do them? Thus why I'll forever reject black eyed peas on New Years. Not to mention the fact that black eyed peas taste like shyt
I dunno why some of y'all have a hard time understanding that black folk ain't a monolith, that we're allowed to break off from rituals that we deem silly regardless of how long they've been done, that geography affects behaviors, and why is it when y'all encounter a Black person who does things differently, your initial reasoning has to center around them being white or non-Black.
Coli gon' Coli, I guess

Then skip my post. Lol y'all nikkas are on a discussion board. We discuss things on a forum lmao.
Not to mention I asked in my first post for an explanation on why this is done and instead of one of you jackasses just giving me a quick explanation, nope, just snarky replies.
Get at those first 2 idiots I was replying to in my second post if you have a problem. They give me an answer, you get no life story. See how easy that works?
And nah I'm good with googling this sh1t right now. It's really not that deep or serious lol.
