She was not “asking for permission”. She was asking if what she was doing was disrespectful and what it could mean. Why is there a stigma? What’s the history? She wanted to learn! Shocker I know! Did you guys know there is a WHOLE museum of African American history and culture too? For weird people like that lol. She liked her haircut. But she also likes not being disrespectful to minorities. I told her she was fine, and what the whole fuss is about.
Get a grip.
It's a fucking haircut you cretin.
I’m sorry your point? I said that she was fine and didn’t have to worry. I explained to her the factual social history and culture surrounding the stigmatization of black features, where black people were punished for expressing them then later those features were appreciated when done by whites. Minstrel shows, tan skin, Hell twerking lol, it’s a thing! Braids are no exception. She WANTED to know this because she was GENUINELY CURIOUS. Some people get heated. I don’t know if the people who judged her for the haircut were white or black. But I said she was fine, and I liked her hair. Done.
What’s the problem?
You're as dumb as you are looney, Cindi. White chics have been using braids since ancient greece, and later in scandinavia with the Vikings. No one needs to ask you fucking permission, and your friend is a moron.
The fuck is wrong with you and people like you thinking everything must trace back to African culture. No one gives a shit. And when did being tan have any association with blackness? No one puts on a speedo and hits the beach saying "i want to look like a black person" lolll
