Cultural Appropriation: Allure Publishes Afro Tutorial For White Women

[Colicat]

thank you for being the only woman on here to remain consistent

What point are you making with this "praise"

Why are you trippin about me not trippin off this? What exactly are these white women doing wrong here?

She could still get the dikk so any complaints are null and void, imo

What point are you making with this "praise"

BW are quick to dismiss their "cultural appropriation" of euro-centric hairstyles as "just hair," or "just an accessory"

but suddenly it becomes so much more when a white woman starts mimicking afro textured hair. so personally, i'd like more of this. but as it stands, @MarsPunka is the only one remaining consistent in her logic.

Don't see the issue.

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.

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

I get that but see @marcuz and @MarsPunka 's posts...I've seen it mentioned here numerous times by black women who unabashedly admit that they wear weaves (and wigs?); that its just a hairstyle/preference and that there's no underlying/latent appropriation or self-hatred involved in doing so...especially in terms of the convenience of not having to deal with their natural hair (which I know takes time and effort). I don't have a dog in this fight and I do understand the hypocrisy behind black beauty on white skin being admired in the media but I still don't see how this specific occurrence is going to oppress black people..therefore I don't see why there is outrage.

Plus white people with afros look dumb af anyway.

I know I seent what you did after my post nikka

EDIT: I mean "n*gga"

Gotta use them quotations these days

 

[GreatestLaker]

Don't want to hear shyt. When black women stop wearing horse hair to look like white women then they can talk.

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

That self hate

I can definitely believe that.

 

[Neil Tyson]

I don't care.

 

[Pyrexcup]

what the issue really? it not like black woman are rocking fros they use weave

 

[agnosticlady]

Oh I thought that was a joke which is why I dapped that post. My bad.

No worries, it's all good.

Exactly, I think it's funny when they stick their finger into the weave attachment site or whatever that thing is called and start scratching it. When I see women do that I have to resist offering to scratch it for them.

Weird but.

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

Would probably be the equivalent of making a movie about Idris Elba and using channing Tatum as the actor. They know damn well what they are doing by having another ethnicity model a hair style that black women are notorious for wearing
