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

[TMNT4000]

I NEVER discount what a black person says when they spit that truth and I damn sure know she ain't the only one that goes hard at white folks. And I got love for any young person of coler that does.

What this young woman is saying is the TRUTH. PERIOD.

Straight up and down yall nikkas is wack as hell trying to discount what she says just because she's mixed.

Yall dumb ass nikkas on this site stay getting caught up in this "pure black"( ) VS. Mixed, bullshyt that is NOT progressive in any way.

I believe most of yall that present that argument ain't black no way since that line of thinking falls right in line with the DIVIDE AND CONQUER technique they been pulling since day one.

Your the one that said she goes harder than most when that shyt isn't true.

And there's a bunch of black women saying what she is saying on tumblr, twitter, and other areas before she said it and now y'all give a fukk?

Completely understand why Amandla and black women would be upset about this.

It's got to suck to live in a society/world that deems you unattractive and undesirable because of your skin tone/facial features/hair, yet white women - the same women that are placed (undeservedly) on the highest of pedestals - can "buy" those same features and be praised not only by society, but by black men. The argument of black women straightening hair and wearing weaves is highly insensitive, considering that they go that route to adhere not only to pressures of society, but to what they perceive is what black men find more attractive than their natural features.

The insensitivity to black women's issues by black men need to be addressed. Yes, there are certainly more important things to fight for and against than a Kardashian wearing braids, but at least be understanding to the underline of why Amandla and other black women are offended. Very disturbing how the capes come out for overrated white bytches while the feelings of the women of your own culture are disregarded

Maybe if Black men made more of an effort to uplift black women and help them feel beautiful in a society that tells them they're not, then black women wouldn't feel the need to complain about what may seem to you guys as a "pointless" issue.

But no, instead let's defend another white bytch, while telling the women of our culture to "get over" their feelings...yet AGAIN!

White women can't have cornrows now?

She's 16 you expect from her, to be Huey?

She's writing paragraphs on black beauty in the media why can't she do the same for domestic violence, economic oppression, education etc.

 

[onelastdeath]

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.

If you're throwing gasoline on the flames, it doesn't matter if you started the fire, dogs.

Because she's 16 and doesn't have much of a presence yet, at least she's voicing her opinion on it, where as women twice her age with more power stay silent.

Where is the faux outrage over Miley's braids?

 

[Amphibious]

Kylie wrote that? no way that 17 year old kardasian wrote something that deep.

and no. no one clowns white boys for dreads, show me a thread, show me anything. if anything white boys clown THEMSELVES for doing it. "look at this wigger here, paul wall lookin wigger"

back to black hair

You talkin to cacs here holmes. You keep forgetting the Coli is 5% blak and 50% pretending they black.

White boys who rock braids get no shade from blacks for it. But a white boy like you said who is against urban styles
would laugh at the other cac rockin braids as if he's a joke callin him a stupid wigger etc.

But if black pride is something she's passionate about she should know about this stuff and want to talk about it and enlighten those around her. She has access to the internet all she has to do is research statistics and have discussions about it maybe find people who have similar beliefs or join a group. There's many options for her to learn and I'm pretty sure she's not dumb

Don't see what the women on Tumblr have to do with HER, because I show them love as well.

She's 16

Do you see birdbrain Beyonce speaking on anything? I will give this 16 year old the benefit of doubt and expect more from her as she matures, at the very least she's saying something which is more than much older women in the same industry.

She is a teenage female, of course she would have a main focus of body issues just like everyother teenager.
She is bringing up a good point that CACs keep acting slick with.

Plenty of grown folks with more experience to talk about the other issues you are bringing up.
