Cultural Appropriation: Allure Publishes Afro Tutorial For White Women

[DreadBrown]

This thread is wild so a black woman with straightened hair/weave is all fun but a white woman with an afro is cultural appropriation?

It's got nothing to do with defending ww or shytting on bw its simple logic you can't have it both ways.

Yes, this will become a trend with white girls. I have already seen some on instagram wearing loose textured curl (not afros) and browner make up. Probably because they want to look more "exotic".

Here's an example of one.

I think it will be a while before the afro texture becomes popular with white women, the texture in the pic will be popular first. I could see Kylie Jenner or some other famous white girl wearing a textured wig like that and starting that trend.





I haven't read this thread yet, but I'm interested in seeing what you guys have to say about this.

Let me guess, happened in the South?

Midwest. One guy was Jamaican. Another was from Jersey.

Because they have been indoctrinated to believe that they weren't good enough unless they had the wigs/weave..... now that they have the wig/weave they are being shamed for the ingrained self-hate...and the kicker is that white women are being told that they are special if they adopt your natural traits

damned if you do, damned if you don't.... every Black woman, no matter what stage of awareness; should be upset with this scenario.

The above post is so ridiculous that it's comical

I've talked about it on here before. I've never met another black woman who did not love my hair. I also get plenty of compliments from black men. However, white women love to give backhanded compliment "omg, your hair is soooo big *smile*, it must be so hard to comb" (a white woman said that too me in the ladies room once). The black people who have given me negative comments (typically men) usually compliment me by telling me that I need to talk to my sisters who think just because they are natural they don't have to comb their hair. Or saying something like not all women can go natural (but I can).

Some of the men you are arguing with have said the same thing. Marcuz even equated natural hair to pubic hair before.

Exactly. White women are always throwing shade at my natural hair but black women either compliments me on it or ask for tips especially the ones that are natural. I'm not shocked about Marcuz because he's in every thread involving black women going against them so clearly he must have a problem with them.

She looks 1000x prettier with the tan and curls.

It's like the only people who can use white supremacy/forced self-hatred as a defense are black men. Someone shoots up the block "oh white supremacy limited his options, and made him hate his own kind enough to kill them at will", someone abandons their children "oh white supremacy took away his ability provide and made him hate himself and those who look like him, so he left", etc. Dudes want to play dumb as if black hair and features haven't been demonized in this country since we were brought here. They want to act as if people weren't kept from jobs (the US Armed Forces being the most recent) because of their "unkempt" hair. Nah, they want to act like weave wearing is some new phenomenon that has no basis in history, but only a basis in "black women's secret desire to be white women". Well you know what I'll take as an effect of white supremacy/"forced self-hatred" something as innocuous as wearing weave over killing innocents or abandoning your offspring any day.

Does it bother you that white women are rockin Afros?

 

[SouthernBelle]

Also, most of the weave black women wear is from Asians/Indians. Most white women have stringy hair; no one wants that shyt. So AT LEAST be accurate if you say black women who wear weave want to emulate another race. That race would be asian.

 

[GoPro]

Hispanic, Indian, Asian and any other race of women can change their hair and it wouldn't be published in a magazine and called innovative but you nikkas can keep trying it.

Innovative technique for white women, not women in general.

But i recall the uproar last year over Asian chicks rocking cornrows too.

 

[Ronnie Lott]

congrats for getting a kick out of it...

shyts comedy tho. I can't believe that some black women take issue if white women rock Afros, but then have no issue with black women rockin long blonde weaves

If you can't see the glaring hypocrisy here, then I don't know what to tell you

 

[KingFreeman]

Why not? No one said Black men could control the brutality experienced during slavery... but it doesn't negate the long lasting impact on the psyche...

I don't get your black man ensured his woman could survive for hundreds of years... are you referring to pre or post trans atlantic slave trade...

I didn't say that forced self-reliance isn't going on now...my argument is that the modern remix of governmental ruin of the Black family unit isn't the primary catalyst to the "Strong, Independent Black woman"

Ever since we stepped off the ships, the black man has never given up on his woman. We only got this far through slavery, through civil rights, etc to now because black men have ensured it. That's what I meant. Don't matter if it was pre or post atlantic slave trade.

If its not the primary catalyst, then what is? The only reason 'strong, black woman' exists is because of government manipulation and Cac media happening today.

 

[KingFreeman]

You reading another thread?

Post examples right now. When Cacettes do shyt like this, brothas on here always call them out in it. You trollin for real

I missed that, Asian women wearing cornrows doesn't bother me but calling white women brave and whatever the fukk else for Afros is obviously offensive and it shouldn't only be women who find this bothersome.

Never seen editorials of other women borrowing from cultures and being praised.

 

[Ronnie Lott]

Black women who wear weaves or support bw who wear weaves, but take offense to white women styling their hair to look like Afros is like.....

Me bleaching my skin everyday to be white, but gettin mad at a white dude for going to the tanning booths everyday to become darker
