Justine Bieber defending Kylie's cultural appropriation? Surprised? Nah.

[Chelsea Bridge]

White women don't look good with cornrows though. They know their hair ain't made for it.

I don't like blonde hair on black women either before anyone tries to attack me with that.

 

[BlackManLiveFromLondon]

And this thread is not in The Salon because...?

For real though, this chatty patty shyt is pointless - I will never understand why people make a fuss out of shyt that really doesnt matter

 

[TMNT4000]

This thread would be different if it was a white dude with a taper fro or a high top fade like this you nikkas would be like

Actually No, cacs be copying black men hair style and cloth styles for decades, and we never gave a fukk.

 

[Concerning VIolence]

its not even outrage, its more people just clowning and saying it looks dirty on them.

you said " no one clowns white boys for dreads, show me a thread,".

So are people defending KyLie or attacking black women in here?

Either way both sides are lost.

A mix of both?

I'll do you one better

I had a track Coach once.
This was back in 2002 so you know 1 out of every 3 brothas had braids.
He didn't let any of us wear them though
You had to pick your hair out before every meet
My track coach was Black

What kinda fukk shyt is this

I wish our track coach would have we would have started a parent backed petition

But his ass should have been more worried about teaching mofos how to come out the blocks correctly instead of some damn hair.

ok 'clown' was the wrong wording, 'outrage' is what I meant. no, there is no outrage. again, riff raff sports cornrolls, paul wall rocks a fade, em used to wear a durag (still dont even know why) no one gave a shyt. there was no outrage. do folks think it looks silly on them. yea I suppose.

how come cacs dont think perms are silly?

It seems like the issue is the media, and hatred should be directed at them rather then at a 17 year old girl.

I don't get this Amandla chick aswell she's virtually every white tumblr girl who constantly speaks on the white media's representation of black beauty etc. But ignore stuff like black people being killed and the economic and educational plight we face all around the world.

Who gives a fukk about what's deemed beautiful by some random white men when there's way more important things happening

 

[SpacelySprockets]

for the people with capes who think amandla is just mad about hair, from amandla herself

 

[GPBear]

this all stems from the great side-hoe purge of '99, when Tropical Storm D'Angelo rolled through and swept up all the hoes from Oakland to the Atl

America still has not forgiven the braid, unfortunately

 

[Chelsea Bridge]

First she started with the lips, then the "urban wear", now she has the hair. I wonder how long it will be before she starts using the dreaded "n-word".

 

[Turbulent]

It's a serious problem. It's the fact that we can't own the same characteristics without a negative connotation being attached to us.It's not just cornrows, it's everything. Nothing is beautiful, classy, stylish or accepted until its on white skin. That's the problem. And it's a legitimate one.

And we are the only group of people who don't have a problem with that. Some things are culturally sacred. That's a fact. It's just a "hairstyle" to the average eye, but brothers and women have been profiled and approached by cops for wearing that "hairstyle". Europeans ripped that "hairstyle" from the scalp of black folks. People have been declined certain professional positions because of that "hairstyle". It's not just a hairstyle, it is in fact a cultural gem and showcase of pride. African Pride.

I mean if this is just a hairstyle. Then A Kippah is just a "hat", a Hijab is just a "scarf", the Pe'a is just a tattoo, and a Dashiki is just a "shirt".

It doesn't work like that. There are things that have cultural significance, and relinquishing the underlying importance of these things is disrespectful

and that's fair. but why direct the anger (not you but the people reacting on social media) at her? she's not the one who decided that it has a negative connotation on black and a positive one on white people.

as long as she's not trying to mock black culture (which i honestly don't think she is, unlike say Katy Perry) then i don't think she's the one who should get checked. i think instead it's the people who diss it when it's worn by black people that should get checked.

 

[Richard Wright]

Instead of debating this, why not brainstorm how we can profit off of the upcoming trend? I see her teal hairstyle everywhere.

I might start a Amandla appreciation thread...

She BEEN shytting on AmeriKKKa and how it treats black women.

 

[Sassy]

Ill try not to write a long ass paragraph. So I'll try to keep it short and simple.

When white people do or wear braids, dreads, bindis, etc. They're seen as "edgy" "cool" etc.

BUT when a person of color is wearing their own..well culture. It's seen as "inappropriate " (i.e dreads) or for the lack of the better term, too "ethnic". Or even "unprofessional"!

And for black people and non-black people of color wearing perms or coloring their hair a 'white person's' hair color. Thats not cultural appropriation. For one, being thay white people AREN'T the only race with straight hair. Let' get that out the way. Second, even though seeing most poc with a "white person hair color" some of us are born with hair that isn't black or dark brown...also not to mention coloring hair isn't EVEN cultural appropriation lmaooo. Y'all tried it. But to get back on track.

Even if a poc is coloring or perming rheir hair, depending on reason why one do this. It could be cultural assimilation...or thay someof us just like changing it up every once in a while..or we may just want to do it for no reason other than for ourselves! How fukking shocking! (but...ya know. It's the coli so clearly there's no such thing.)

Tldl: white people dont get flack from ccorporates While doing cultural appropiations. Etc while poc's experience is the opposite - and thats for wearing their OWN culture.

(using the term "wearing culture to make a point...and im on my phone so excuse any typos i make)

She's talked about all that too.
You could try and use Google to find that out.
