According to some folks in here, black folks are appropriating horse culture then.

This thread still going strong.

Because apparently white people ONLY are racist. Which is stupid

What's wrong with her hair? Idgi

People need to stop with this "cultural appropriation" ****

Ugh this **** is annoying. Like damn its just a hairstyle calm down. Most of that braids aren't even their natural hair.

It's one thing to point appropriation, but when it's just to complain over something as pointless as braids it demeans the whole thing.

Gerl what? Do I look like I have all the answers? I'm just someone on ATRL with no following, influence or power.

All I can do is try to open up the conversation, share a bit of historical info, personal and relevant experience and let people decide for themselves if they want to understand or not.

You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink.

If people don't want to change their bad ingrained ways, don't want to stop playing dumb on race issues that are prevalent today and can't urge people with influence to talk on these things and influence their followings to learn more, then they won't. Me posting on ATRL is only a drop of nothing compared to what a Gaga or Rihanna or Jolie could do if they spoke out on these topics.

And I think social media is trash (and I'm not on it anymore because of things like this) so I don't have anything to say on that.

She looks dumb with them but box braids aren't black culture, ppl need to stop

But what is black culture? Becaue like white culture and Asian culture it's just a blanket statement. I doubt black Americans have much in common with people from Zimbabwe.

Well i was gonna have a thought out response, but since youve apparently reached your curfew, here's a gif of kittens doing a synchronized dance

.

You better stop comparing ATRLers to horses before you get a WP. That could offend someone tbh.

Honestly I'm kinda half trolling at this point

Nnnn there's a lot of the horse metaphors going on in here so I thought it was relevant.

Just because someone has a bigger voice, that doesn't mean you shouldn't speak sis
Calling an hairdo a cultural issue is dumb imo, since culture is a dynamic and we could go back in history and find several different cultures sharing the same patterns, values, aesthetics and so on.

We're confusing two different issues in this thread, and that's my point so far

you know what

Moderatoren , schließen Sie diesen Müll Thread bitte. Danke

or the 10 dollars they give to poor chinese and russian people for their hair and then selling it for hundreds of dollars... and indians not knowing they're donating their hair to rich people instead of the gods (which they really do assume they're donating their hair to).. theres so many things wrong with it but I guess it's easier to only look at it from one side

This racist thing is getting out of hand, the girl didn't do anything wrong.

ok now this here is really off.
like come on?
cant ppl appreciate things for different cultures without being called racist?
if I cook a taco does that mean I am appropriating mexican culture? if I buy an asian fan to decorate my room does that mean I am racist? like I understand if you are wearing something religious or sacred to a culture but this is just a fun hair style. come on now
