I've been in love with these for a while but I never know where they get their scarves from

Edit: oh lawd, I think I'm gonna buy 1 to test and see if I can pull it off. Oh lawd these things are $25. Oh lawd I want more than 1. Please don't let shipping be $10.

Edit2: shipping was less than $3 we did it.

I've tried so hard to get behind this trend but I always feel like I'm walking out the house with a sleeping rag on my head

Like..no matter how intricate the knot it or how pretty the scarf, it feels like I shoulda hung that bish up and did my hair before I walked out the house.

Dope thread.

i immediate show extra respect to any black queen rocking the wrap... idk why. it's mental or something but most men are that way.

What these images provide, however, is a different look at how Blacks of the Caribbean perhaps responded to their enslavement, freedom, and reenslavement during the turbulent periods of the French and Haitian Revolutions. The former slave above, for instance, appears confident, strong-minded, and aware of herself and her rights, beyond simply being a prop by the white French painter, who, in this case, was a woman. Furthermore, unlike the common depictions of Blacks in European art of the colonial period, these images stray far from the racist depictions of savage, ugly Blacks with exaggerated physical features or, as in some cases, associations with apes and lesser beings. For an example of the extremely racist, sexist depictions of Black women in European art, Three Young White Men and a Black Woman, or Rape of a Negress, which shows three white males enjoying themselves with an unwilling Black woman, by van Couwenbergh. In addition, such images as the above three illustrate an undeniable link between Freemasonry in France and the Caribbean colonies, and, as Garrigus and others have suggested, may perhaps also allude to the presence of Black and mixed-race Masons in colonial Saint-Domingue, since Toussaint L'Ouverture and others were likely Masons. Moreover, Haitian paintings and history also describe Masonic leaders in the postcolonial period, proof of an undying link from colonial Freemason societies to their 19th and 20th century Haitian mulatto and Black counterparts.

This rare painting of a slave by Canadian artist François Malépart de Beaucourt, titled “Portrait of a Haitian Woman,” currently hangs at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts. It is believed that de Beaucourt completed the work in Saint Domingue, the French colony that is now Haiti, in 1786, and that the woman in the painting was brought as a slave to Montreal in 1792. The portrait provides a brief glimpse into Canada’s history of slavery. (Courtesy McCord Museum)
