So if an African American woman dyes her hair blonde, we should scream Racism

And how about purple, blue and pink hair dyes? Should cartoon characters feel "outraged"?

Did these complainers never think of the "cultural appropriation" as a form of tribute? No, then they wouldn't have anything to complain about.

Lots of white people had afros in the 70s. People need to calm down.

People are so touchy nowadays. Race matters for something, but for other things it doesn't. We are all equal but for somethings we can't look like others ! God people need to zip it!

So if this is racist,a black person with straight hair is racist not to mention those who can attend all black colleges? You can't have it all ways. This PC going into nitpicking overdrive!

At some of those comments.

But they aren't doing it maliciously so why trip? @Guwop @RookieToVet @Fonsworth @aXiom @Peter Vecsey @Elle Driver @DarlingNikki

Haven't read a reply lemme see what this is all about.

 

[Soundbwoy]

I see nothing wrong with it. They aren't really stealing the hairstyle if they are only doing it for a magazine. It's like using quotes for their hairstyle. Y'all being sensitive as fukk over dumb shyt. I think yall just want to fukk these white hoes to be honest @RookieToVet

they are right to be outraged, do a piece on how to get curly hair don't call it an Afro especially if you're not going to discuss the history of the Afro or have a black model

Imma be honest...I'm a black man that rocks a fade so I can't relate to why this shyt is such of an issue personally. With that said, if people want to be outraged by it, let them, but I've seen black women all day every day wearing hairstyles that are atypical for white women as well so it may be safe to say the appropriation runs both ways. But fukk all that, my question to this is what's the endgame in a critic's eyes?...What is the worst case scenario that could come out of white women wearing shytty looking afros? I think its just something else to be outraged about before next week's controversy.

On the other hand it is ironic that these features have been downplayed and shunned in the past by white media so I'm not going to ignore that elephant in the room.

shyt would be funny if we saw GQ articles with instructions for how white men could wear dreads

@ @blackestofpanthers trolling y'all. Dude's just repeating the asinine comments c00ns were using to for Pill Head in that other thread.

that's the whole point! White people constantly tried to shyt on black folks and everything associated with black people. Its so bad that if a blackk person wears an afro to a job interview/job they might not workk because its a "distraction" or "unprofessional" even thon our hair does that naturally. One the biggest things culturally associated with black people is black hair and black hair styles. The styles name AFRO clearly associates with Africans. And now all of sudden white people think its cool? And then barely acknowledge the fact that the style is from black people?
Thiss is an example of that lack of respect for someone elses culture that a lot of white people and hipsters seem to always seem to have

Yeah, so what's the endgame now...is this a precursor to something worse or is this as bad as it gets?

 

[Arishok]

And? It's just a hairstyle. Its not like they're trying to be black women, hair is an accessory let them be

The end game is eliminating the beauty ideal that anything white is right and anything Black is whack

And that can't begin until there is an admission of facts... Folks (Black and white) can't see the forest for the trees....

There is nothing wrong with this appropriation just like there is no true racism

They don't explicitly say white women are greater than just like they don't lynch people anymore...

White supremacy is systemic and insidious

 

[bcrusaderw]

did that so u ain't have to go thru that

 

[BrothaZay]

I remember being a junior high and a white Latino girl said to me, "Why would I want black peoples hair? It's like having pubic hair on top of your head". There are a lot of young black girls who grow up thinking their natural hair isn't good enough because of the way this society functions. Now that a bunch of culture lacking hipster bytches are bored it's now cool to have an afro. No bytch, you can not have an afro.

I'll remember this the next time I wear my hair out in an afro, twist out, or braid out and some non black person ask's me, "Why didn't you do your hair? Are you going to leave your hair like that"

When I grew up it was the black kids who teased me for having an afro

That self hate
