Did you just have a stroke or something sis, kii

You quoted me on post #192 and I replied to you. Then you said that the post had nothing to do with me.

White people invented cars. Is it cultural appropriation for me to drive one?

No.

Some people wake up in the morning waiting to be offended by something. Professional victims. Wear your braids, white people. It's all good.

By your logic we should continue to make people feel ashamed and continue with the stigma associated with this kind of actions? Because supporting people is not a good idea to overcome racial tension, cultural appropriation claims and so on?

It's 2015. When can a person change their hair without being called insensitive and racist? How many years do we have to wait? Supporting people on their decision to embrace other cultures with dignity and respect is the ONLY answer to stop these kind of situations.

People NEED to move on tbqh

It's only getting worse, and will probably continue to do so. It's as if the topic of racism is bigger than racism itself nowadays.

This hairstyle was once just that, a hairstyle. Worn by many men and women, even Venus figurines that are thousands of years old. Yet we got young kids and teens smashing at their keyboards getting upset over some random girl. ****ing mess.

I feel like you're directing your anger from another poster or post at me. I didn't say any of those things you stated above in this thread. I (about 2 times now) said those people were wrong for insulting her and (like 4 times now) said the girl shouldn't have been attacked.

Please exit.

Uhm, no?

I'm asking YOU what's the solution for these kind of claims in your opinion, since they happen everyday on social media. In your opinion, is there a solution for the so called cultural appropriation?

I'm asking you, not "directing anger" because I don't get upset over random online thread. I saw your post, read it and replied to you. I'm genuinely interested on your opinion, since I don't agree with you so far.

"Please exit "
I mean, are we having a civilized conversation or?

I was kind of only going off the last sentence of your post. Maybe I should have quoted just that part. But like I said, one of those schools was run by black people.

I know. We can be our own worst enemy tbh.

Doesn't matter how many "other schools" are out there, you don't tell someone how to be who they are naturally.

Theyre not telling them how to be who they are naturally, they outlined how they want their students to appear, and parents have the free will to accept them or not. If you dont like it go somewhere else. It's that simple. Pretty sure those schools have black girls in them (most likely)

If everyone followed your philosophy, we'd still be segregated like in the 50s. "Why are these colored people trying to apply to an all white school, there are other schools out there" like no

This is not even apples and oranges, this is apples and sand. Black parents arent being prohibited from enrolling their children.

Sorry this conversation is so funny right now. In the middle of this pointless hair argument we have another pointless argument

[bleuwaffle]

There's literally nothing wrong with her or any non-black person getting braids. It's a hairstyle ffs.

[wanderlust]

and people are going so overboard with this "cultural appropriation". what's next? white people can't enjoy tupac or practice hip hop in classes? like... get a damn hobby and save your outrage for real racism.

why are people so entitled and angry at everything anyway?

Nobody claimed the two topics are related (your words, not mine) but they're both in the context of basic ****ing human rights. It's an example.
And ddd not ATRL member Big Smoke telling me 'people don't take you seriously' when you literally just basically told people to not go to school in a topic about braids/cultural appropriation.

The bolded is either a serious attempt at misconstruing my words, or youre have a problem with reading and understanding, which is another reason why nobody takes you folks seriously.

She looks good.

absolutely ridiculous and obnoxious. People are so damn sensitive these days

This'll be the last time I'm replying to you.

They are telling her how she needs to be, she can't wear her hair how it naturally grows without cutting it. They didn't give her a choice, it's cut it or leave.

and yeah you're right, black parents aren't being prohibited from enrolling their children. Black parents are prohibited from enrolling children who have natural hair.

People are a mess, thinking they're a part of a unique culture. We could spend HOURS going back in history and trace everything that social media is fussing about. Every culture changes patterns, values and others because they're not static. Culture is a dynamic concept, and people keep bashing each other over a simple hairdo because there's "a bigger issue"
