1 drop Model got Teen Vogue feeling the flames of Black Twitter yall

[Tae]

So this chick @Tae is doing all this harping but her ass don't even have the more kinkier texture hair? I could see why her post reaped of so much smugness. People from the outside looking in always have the most to say.
Well gone head and wake ya ass up the way you fell asleep then. I'll continue to do wtf i want with my hair.
Our realities aren't even the same and she's trying to berate me for telling how it is for me. I doubt anyone has ever called her hair "nappy shyt" or told her it wasn't presentable just because of its texture....

Homegurl you have no clue what my hair texture is, so you might want to fall back. I do not have the so called "wash-n-go" 3B 3C hair.
I took issue with you saying that black hair is not inherently presentable. What exactly is wrong with black hair (that is not bouncing with curls) in its original state that it needs to be tamed? That reeks of white supremacist talk.
I'll admit that I skimmed through your first response and did not see where you admitted that you should have worded your first comment better, if I had I probably wouldn't have left that smug comment I made.

@Tae how would you describe your hair texture, if you don't mind?

It is wavy in the front and 4Aish throughout most of my hair, with maybe some 3C in the very back. To be honest I don't even think my hair has a type.

But not all black hair is the same. Women with curly hair (like me and you) can get away with the messy Joan Clayton look. It's considered hippie, natural, bohemian. Our hair textures have since cornered the natural hair market. We don't receive the same back lash as our kinkier 4 hair grade sisters.

I cannot get away with the Joan Clayton look, my hair texture isn't even remotely close to hers. I cannot achieve a curly look unless it is saturated with products. When I roll out my bed my hair is frizzy not bouncing with curls. Part of me is trying to veer away with saturating my hair with products because why should I try to achieve a curly look and not let my hair be in its original state.

1. Uh...teens in ther target demo DO put braided extensions in their hair LOL!
They absolutely do. They just don't (or maybe some haven't) done it this particular way.
And they may try it now, because Teen Vogue told them to because...

2. ...Teen Vogue - and hell, regular Vogue - are fashion/lifestyle magazines.
They're supposed to push propaganda to...their target demos. That's what they're for.
"Outrage" for this particular type won't stop that.

White teens do not wear braided extensions... Stop...and if you are arguing that teen vogue is for teen Black girls then you are full of balongna

Complacency is the problem... While you can be complacent with this, others interested in social change can not...

YES THEY DO...A LOT. At the very least, they do where i'm at.
And they wear 'em in different colors.

and if you are arguing that teen vogue is for teen Black girls then you are full of balongna

...and I wasn't arguing that.

"Social change". You're fighting for "social change" in a privately-owned propaganda rag?

Next why you don't you write to the KKK Gazette and tell them to get their chit straight...

Most Black men my age are rocking fros or dreads

Mother fukkers said they had to go to Rwanda to learn about Senegalese twist....




Could've sat they ass right in my kitchen and twisted that shyt

Unfortunately that wouldn't have sounded as cool amongst her other rich liberal friends

@ Black people being upset at what White people are doing with their companies like this isn't expected.

I got more hair on my head right now than you do.

 

[Sk3ptical]

I don't care much for Black twitter, but it's hard to ignore the Cultural invisibility taking place . Mainstream society has found a way to consume and monetize black culture without the inclusion of black people. When it came to our culture, you needed a black presence at the forefront because it couldn't be found anywhere else. Now that Global communication is so widespread and sophisticated, people can learn and partake in aspects of our culture without the participation of black people. You can simply slap a white face on it and call it "American"or "mainstream culture". Either way you slice it,it leaves black people coming out on the losing end.


The pic @*L*E*G*A*C*Y* posted of the chick smoking in front a sacred Hindu God painting just shows you how nothing is deemed sacred in this country if it isn't white. At the end of the day this publication is white and caters to a white demographic.

The bolded is sooooooooooooooooooo true.

Tell me @Poitier How much hair do you think I have?

 

[(Lean Ambrose)]

Lol for real though...
Dreads,fros,boosie fades, webbie fro, that nappy wiz khalifa or nappy Kendrick Lamar cut etc...
He ain't lying

You should fall back because you are making yourself look foolish criticizing someone you've never met in person and will probably never meet based on an incorrect assumption. This isn't LSA and I don't do ethuggin and so you'll have to carry on with yourself.
