Actually, the language of the article is quite disturbing and problematic. It's not so much that white women are wearing afros per se. But the fact is they had done so,giving African/Afican-Americans as little credit as possible. Fact of the matter is that the afro was a way for African Americans to get closer to Africa and the people over there, it was connected to a greater awareness of the social condition and heritage of a people we were separated from when we were brought here. You could argue that the 70's were the pinnacle of Black beauty both aesthetically and culturally and women were the face of that. It's clear that natural hair is gaining traction within the Black community and white women want to appropriate that. I have been saying this for years now, white women admire Black women, they are the symbol of strength and struggle, my mother worked in a publishing house for years and even though she kept to her herself yet, all the white woman came to her for help and advice even though she was around their age or younger, some of it maybe came from a sort of mammy stereotype, but I think it also came from the fact they knew my mom had to work twice as hard and be twice as smart to do the same job they did. Whether or not you wear a natural hair style, if you don't feel some type of way, I won't go so far as to call you a c00n but you ain't woke and that's a fair statement. Black women have enough on their plates with out having their beauty undermined in such a direct manner that says, your hairstyle looks better on us, because we can be bold ballsy, provocative, yet tie it loose and relieve themselves of the Black experience when it is no longer convenient. Word to Rachel Dozeal.
see the usual derailment along with cold hard facts being dropped stay woke brehs. Anything we do is inferior & then whites take it then we're goin at self hating blks protecting culture vultures.
Its the same shyt with bob johnson and his dumbass ex wife...
