You're acting like it's still used for these reasons. We aren't slaves anymore as if 90% of black people know this about cornrows. I've worn cornrows, plenty of black people I know wear cornrows and nobody knows of this because it's not relevant today. Were we appropriating? People today use it as a regular hairstyle or to protect their hair. And people only throw that weak "lost cause" response when they have nothing to argue.
What's your point here? If you admit that people are doing the most criticizing Kylie for wearing this hairstyle, what's your point? If it's to educate me on the history of cornrows, then I learned something new thank you, but my point still stands that white people can wear it and everyone needs to stop being offended
Edit: So many typos I need to sleep..will be back
Hair can be shaped into whatever the hell you want.
Which is partially why the ones that do make big deal out of this are doing so. "Who cares if Rock music originated from black people? It's just music." "Who cares if this form of communication originated from black people. It's just a form of communication." Fast-forwards hundreds of years later where we have claims to nothing and white people are credited for pretty much everything. White people have a history of appropriating and stealing **** from black culture and then trying to proclaim it as their own. I do agree the hair style thing is blown out of proportion but it stems from the fact that white people have constantly taken **** from black culture in the first place.
it's a hairstyle, was she supposed to write a disclaimer?
