They’ve been doing this to us for years... Black women have been wearing cornrows for centuries but when a white girl or a Kardashian wears them it’s “trendy” :hypnotobi:

Do you live in America?

Would you say it's okay for white woman to wear black hairstyle if they do for acknowledging black culture instead of treading it like a trend?

I don’t have a problem with anyone wearing any kind of hairstyle but salute the women who’ve worn it for centuries.

Literally the only hairstyle thats unique to your culture is cornrows, if you really want to play the cultural appropriation game you may aswell stop speaking english, using iphones, using toilets ect. Also dont pull any 'blacks invented peanut butter, traffic lights ect', because thats all bullshit.

No one in the thread is complaining about others sharing a culture but how the reactions vary depending on who's expressing it.

to a degree yes, but im sure that white people having cornrows would be considered unprofessional just like a black person. 'Can someone please answer why white people get respect for wearing other hairstyles that belong do other cultures? ' This is essentially the crux of the entire issue hes portraying. I doubt the perceptions and subseuqnt discrimination only against blacks that wear cornrows ect.The same logic can be applied to a multitude of other 'issues' so its really moot to bring this up.

This seems to be a problem mainly happening in the U.S? Aside from a few assholes, European countries don't do this kind of injustice to black people.

Yeah, racism, discrimination. Our world has began to accept all different kinds of people, but racism still exists.
It really also depends on the job. If you wanna work at a local grocery store or fastfood place, many different hair styles are/can/will be accepted, no matter race (unless discrimination is involved, which does happen in some cases). But if you want to work a more advanced, degree job, I think everyone would need to look professional. Like a doctor, lawyer, politician, idk... but you don't really see their hairstyles being cross-cultured nor stylized. They tend to be straightforward, cut and neat/shaved, etc. It's all about presentation.

Does this happen? I know black women straighten their hair and have hairstyles unnatural to them, probably due to racism in the past, but I think at this point, it's become a part of their culture too as in they just prefer it that way.

In my opinion, their natural hair looks nicer on them, but I'm not sure how many people feel that way.

Whats wrong with racism? Assuming your definition is the current one permeating the overton window.

I don’t really get what you’re complaining about. When other races use a different style that came from a certain culture, there’s hardly any complaint but as soon as a white person does it ,there’s a mini outrage about it. Who gives a sh*t at that point if you’re only going to call out one group while ignoring everyone else who does it.

With certain jobs, it depends where that person works at.
If it’s at a food factory, all you have to worry about is if you have offensive/gang tattoos. Hair style means nothing unless you’re unable to wear a hair net. Other jobs might require trimmed hair,no dye,etc. So if you don’t look your best,prepare yourself to be overlooked.

It's losers like you and pumpkin that makes Trump look bad.

Well...it’s a good thing I didn’t vote for Trump,so I don’t care if I make him look bad. I only have his picture set up so I could receive salty responses.

Mission accomplished!

(Also I don’t think Pumpkin supports Trump. I don’t remember,so I could be wrong.)

Anyways, why not debate with me on why you dislike my post? What do you think about the topic?
The schools I’ve been too in Florida and factory jobs I’ve worked in didn’t care about my African-American friends hair style. Which is why I don’t understand why OP is complaining.
So please enlighten me.


Do you think I’m wrong that certain jobs don’t care about hair style,while others do? Or did you get upset cause I said “Who gives a sh*t”? Since people are being selective on what they want to be upset about,while turning a blind eye on other people’s “stolen” style.

Does this picture upset you?
You must be registered to see images

Could a foreigner wear a kimono?

If not ,did you or others get upset when a white girl did it? “My culture is NOT your …. prom dress.”


From my point of view, I could care less about what people are wearing and what culture the style came from. I’m Greek. If people (White,Black,etc) wants to go around
wearing a traditional dress from Greece,than go right ahead and thanks for liking Greece culture.

Otherwise,if you’re not going to discuss about the topic,I’m moving on from this thread. Thanks.
