The fact that people think Jidenna looks like he owns slaves shows a deep ignorance and insecurity in our people, cemented by the images shown to us in the readily available media.

People aren't shown older pictures of black men dressed up unless they look for it. The idea of a black man in 1800s era clothing, that is not the uniform of slavery or poverty surprises, amuses and confuses them. Just like the joke they made when Jamie Foxx wore that blue velvet suit in Django.

Ignorance yes insecurity no. If that's what people see and relate it to that doesn't mean they are insecure that's just what they know at the current time. I mean dude looks like a clown to me trying to steal that stereotypical white look they been doing recently but whatever. Actually its moreso the hair the clothes alone aren't bad at all. I'm not with the conk look from back in the day.
