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

[Timeis$]

Cornrows who cares and who was Bieber referring to that Amanda chick?

EVERYBODY who is mad over braids needs to recognize how stupid they are. "Cultural appropriation"

FOH its a hairstyle. Follicular appropriation is ok when it comes to borrowing everyone elses hair. We all swapping cultural memes in the internet age.
Yes white people steal shyt regularly and it sucks. But hairstyles?

Really?

Exactly. shyt is so silly

Black women who straighten their beautifully coiled hair better not be getting on this chick for rocking some damn braids

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.

It's usually weave wearers that attempt to conflate them with us, so that they justify their desire for European hair.

So we gonna forget about the "nappy headed hoes" comment Don Imus said about the Rutgers basketball team. It is an issue because some jobs won't let you wear afros,lots,etc. I've been told by a few people I can't get hired wear natural hair. My friend who is a manager at a store in the mall, so you know she knows. The military banned a bunch of black hairstyles.

Its not just the cornrows, Kylie wears blue & green hair wigs,weaves,etc and is praised when she does, a black women can't do that, I would be looked at as ghetto. Kendall wore a half braid hair style and a mag was acting like she discover gold. That whole family gets away some wear black face, twerk, overly sexual, but still looked to as victims. Also Zendaya was just disrespected by a Fashion Police host for wear fake dreadlocks, saying she looked like she smelled like weed.....bet you won't hear any of those comments under the pic of Kylie. Thats the issue!

if white girls wearing braids is cultural appropriation, what do we call black women wearing blonde hair?

c00ns

 

[wet landscapes]

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

The European standard of beauty is taught. That's not the same.

 

[Bondye Vodou]

Beiberveli lining up that smash for down the road.

Yup, he know Tyga about to get the boot soon

 

[RiffRaff]

I see where brehs could have a point here.

But come on y'all, cornrows? On a known attention whore? This what we're tripping about?

A lot of our criticisms about race relations I believe are devalued because we worry about things that in the long scheme of things really aren't a big deal.

Could come up with 20 other things that affect us as black people living in America before I would even think about cornrows.

Sorry, but I don't get the outrage, it's Kylie Jenner, I don't care, it's silly.

 

[Amphibious]

Kylie's titties look plump in that stomach shirt

 

[wet landscapes]

But I love yall

even after hoe phases?

Compare the dominate culture to those who have been oppressed and taught to love the Eurocentric standard of beauty.

That's closer to assimialtion than appropriation.

I wrote that b/c its stupid to get on a 17yo b/c she got braids. Its very easy to do and ultimately accomplishes nothing
