You have a mixed model who looks straight up white modeling black hair styles. If she was in an afro sheen ad, people would be calling bullshyt.
And the fact that her shirt says "you can't swim with us" after the whole Texas pool party is making me feel some type of way.

And just for the men's benefit who think black twitter is overreacting. Im starting to see more and more mixed, white, or hispanic women modeling black hair styles or 'representing a black model" in hair ads. Thats the issue! The Kardashians wear braids and they are praised and looked at as hipster, but they just had the big controversy of making fun of Zendaya wearing dreadlocks saying she looks like she "smells like weed and patchouli oil"

I see way too many hair ads targeted towards black women with half black women in them. Christina Milian and Jill Scott don't have the same hair texture. Some black women have looser textured hair but one texture shouldn't be the only one shown.

:ohhh:

I had not even noticed that... damn their being real slick but overt with it

Black mens hair mimics black women's hair.

When black women wore wigs back in the day black men put those conks in their hair.
When black women relaxed their hair black men wore 360 waves.
When black women started cornrowing their hair in the 2000 black men started cornrowing their hair.
When black women went natural black men started going for a natural look.

Black men throughout hair history were rarely collective leaders in black hair. One because most don't know or do hair. How can a group set standards for hair when most y'all don't deal with a palm full kinky hair on a daily basis? Many black men can't even do a single braid on a child's head but you know more than black women :what:

You just make shyt up

how the fukk is she black :mindblown:
Because that's how she chose to identify herself as.

I'm one of those people that call mixed people, mixed. Instead of anything else...until they choose to identify themselves as something, then I follow suit.

She seems like she's mixed with some black, and she identifies herself as black as a result...so guess what she is?

It's not up to you and I to impose our view of her identity on her.

The first image shouldn't be with the last two. The K-pop stars actually show respect and acknowledge the culture they're borrowing from.

Sht's funny though. My av is actually G-Dragon from his shoot in Vogue Korea :pachaha:

You are delusional.

Black men were doing Black womens hair all these year:francis: Their mother and female stylist never did their hair.


:sas1: oh really. :skip:Black men are the Leaders when it comes to hair care? :skip:Delusional

If it was not for us calling out weave and perm it would be no natual hair movement.

:what: Of course not. Wtf you get "all of them" ?

G-Dragon and members of his group give credit to american R&B stars for their inspiration. Others in K-pop do too, but no one can ever speak for an entire group.

Idk who the girl is dough. Who dat is? :lupe:
