How did white people convince us that our natural hairstyles were unprofessional and immature?

[BrothaZay]

simple.

by telling us on the ground level that we couldn't get jobs where they worked by having them....

then publishing magazine and social media articles with black people being upset that they couldn't get those jobs with them.

Sure, black people got upset and were outraged, but when they saw that they couldn't get those jobs, they stopped trying.

After all, what are you going to do?

Go work for someone else?

we need to own our own businessses!

 

[ElectroMan]

we need to own our own businessses!

We've been saying this forever

 

[Mr. Negative]

we need to own our own businessses!

exactly.

it's the same thing with piercings and tattoos.

being white and somewhat educated with two hoop earrings, a pierced eyebrow, your long hair in a ponytail and tattoo sleeves that trail around your wrists means you're on the path of enlightenment and must have read Zen and the art of Motorcycle Repair.


If you're anything but white, guess what.

Propaganda. They on the low love our shyt though. I couldn't tell you how many white girls ask to touch my dreads. I just look at em like

 

[KinksandCoils]

It was pretty easy..... It's called not letting us get jobs. Saying nasty thing about our hair and the fact that our hair looks different from the rest of the world.

 

[Doobie Doo]

So they can find any differences between us and use it against us. Hell if white dudes could see our dikks they probably try to use that in a discriminatory manner

It is funny how everyone in the entire world wears the same type of business suits, dresses, military uniforms, same type of architecture, roads, cars, etc.

 

[Jhoon]

The same way your categorizing people as black and white. The painful truth is many our beliefs and social norms are the results of being conditioned.

Its funny alright. I was having a conversation with a lady and she was talking about how high heels make her feel sexy. I tried to get to the root of why heels or being taller makes her feel a certain way. It was not a pleasant conversation.

James Baldwin said his brief time in Harlem shaped who is was decades later. Its very important that we show our black children images that will sit with them until their time is up.

Cornrows, Braids period, Dreads, afro etc...

Get a cut

We BEEN conditioned and now we even AUTOMATICALLY DEFEND IT.....Where you been? Better get back to America and work on your White-Supremacist-Based schematic outlook on life boy....

 

[Dzali OG]

It's a war of cultures. They didn't just conquer the world, they shoved their culture down the world's throat. Lowkey, they fight for white culture harder than race. If you accept their culture...you submit to their superiority by default.

What I've been trying to tell nikkas who say their fighting white supremacy, but bow to white culture. I tell them fukk their entire culture, but it's hard because it's so drilled into society.

I try not to hate on nikkas who tear the English language up or dress counter to white standards, because it's saying fukk you and your culture. Even if it's unintentional.
