Many people are saying that when a white women has corn rows it’s cultural appropriation but when a black woman has blonde hair she’s being stylish, and that’s a double standard. Why isn’t this being covered by the MSM? I’ll stay in the line so I can tell you more things that bother me. It’s ok, i haven’t worked since they unfairly closed the DDT plant in 1971.

 

Okay I’ll bite; because it pisses the minority off when after being terrorized and subjugated for 300 yrs the mainstream majority wants to start keeping score culturally FINALLY??? I mean NOW you want to act like equals?

Aren’t there bigger meaningful issues than where blonde hair is appropriation, how about eliminating racism first?

I get it now. Sorry I wasn’t following the other thread.

 

Another real answer: Black women with natural hair, braids, and dreads are often told to wear a less "ethnic" style "so they'll be taken seriously."
