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

If we stop being mad at the problem, is it a problem anymore? How long before the abnormal becomes the normal? How long before traditional african hairstyles are more frequent with whites than they are with the people who have the blood?

You don't see the problem with having the type "black people with dreads" on google images, because if you just type "dreads" nothing but white people shows up? And that's a black hairstyle that goes back centuries.

I absolutely get what you are saying. The problem is I accepted that this will happen on the count of us being a minority. What we rock, they can rock on a LARGER level.
As long as they have access to all the media, they control the narrative, which blows, but My final straw does not end nor begin with the copying of a hairstyle.

its not a about the braids, its good to see blacks come together about a topic......it can bleed over into something more powerful

It won't. Trust me

 

[The Bookie]

And all the Black women under blonde and yaki weaves???

 

[Already]

non blacks in here going ham

I swear 95% of the fukkery on the coli is non black people speaking on black issues

Black culture dikk-riding is at an all-time high. They spend more of their energy on black people than getting their broke country out of debt. And they wonder why america is considered a piss-poor, no culture joke of a country. Their ancestors would be embarrassed if they knew their kind would be the followers, the "slaves" would be the trend-setters, and that their stolen country has fallen from super-power to a complete joke that eats out of the little hands of Asians.

Outrage over cornrows?

 

[neph27]

rue said kylie shouldn't wear her hair in braids because it's cultural appropriation and because she doesn't use her position of power to speak on black issues such as police brutality or beauty standards

if kylie Jenner said some shyt about police brutality people would be like
if kylie Jenner decided to be the spokesperson for black people and speak on black issues she would be thrown to the bushes and nobody would take her seriously

she's a 17 year old who had cornrows in her hair big deal

nothing

They're not black people. Let's not play semantic games either, "black" refers to people of Sub-Saharan African descent which these children are not. They're Solomon Islanders.

"Black" is a social construct.

You bring them here, and they will be considered black.

if a white woman getting braids is a problem, then isn't buying perm to str8 out ur hair a problem too?

That's closer to assimialtion than appropriation.

I wish I had a chance to pretend to be mad about this while it was relevant for that 5 minutes

 

[The Bookie]

It's 2015 and people still think Melanesians are black (sub-Saharan African).

Who cares what they'll be considered here?

Genetics is a biological reality, and genotypically they have nothing to do with sub-Saharan descended people. Claiming all dark skinned people regardless of ancestry cheapens the meaning of our collective heritage, and reduces "blackness" to mean nothing more than a dark skinned appearance rather than cultural traditions, unique history and blood.

Yall missing this part of the story, this what set it off
