Anyway. Long story short. Black people can never be racist. Its a fact. Its objective. No amount of Freudian psychoanalysis will change that. Suck it up.

Going by your logic this applies to all minorities or only to African Americans?

An eleven year old girl is suddenly the face of oppression these dumb bitches

[Inner Insanity]

This is why the whole SJW movement is stupid. The intentions for these things are always good, but everyone takes it way too far to the point where it's just absurd stupidity and ignorance.

It's feeling like psychological torture, esp against the backdrop of state-sanctioned murder and the #BlackLivesMatter movement...…our bodies, our music, our fashion, our lips, our hair…everything about us is ripe for the picking by people WHO DO NOT TREAT US WELL.

this is hilarious, like next level Fox News type ****

That is why black people get angry. When black girls wear these styles they get ridiculed for not assimilating into white culture but when white girls wear black hairstyles they get praised for it. Its the double standard that is the issue here but I see everyone here doing the most to try to avoid acknowledging the crux of the issue.

I'll remember to be just as tone deaf the next time a gay rights issue comes up. I don't disagree with the girl sporting box braids, but what you're saying is undoubtedly true.

omg this is dumb and a total misunderstanding of how privilege works. it's very possible for black people to be privileged over people of other races in certain situations. for example, in a neighborhood that's predominately asian, an asian can be racist towards a black person because they hold the power in that situation. it's totally different from white people, who have a general privilege in the western world; other races have a level playing field and whether they have power over another race is totally based on situation and setting. not only that but it's actually even more complex than that because certain races have privileges that others don't, and they can have the power in a situation depending on the type of prejudice they do or don't face. this is such a tumblr-type oversimplification of an issue that tries to pursue based on that definition without actually knowing why it applies in the first place.

that is assuming we go with the "power + privilege" definition at all; even by your definition you're wrong

People are idiots. If you want more equality, why are distancing yourself from other races?!

OMG they need to get over themselves. Anyone can have any hairstyle they want, SMH.

This melodramatic rant over some damn braids

[SoftMetalLover]

Girls, when a white girl wears box braids she gets ridiculed too. Let people do what they want. If what she did is racist then what is it when Beyoncé bleaches her skin and wears a blonde weave???

I don't know what's more disturbing. The fact that some people think that a hair style belongs to a certain race and none other could use it, or the fact that people are attacking a 10 years old kid.

You're missing the point ENTIRELY. Most ppl in this thread have, anyway.
I agree that attacking a 10 year old girl is misplaced anger
BUT there are bigger issues at play here. A black guy/girl rocking braids or dreadlocks will forever be tagged as ratchet, ghetto and unemployable on American soil.
A white person doing the same = trendy, cutting-edge, for obvious reasons.

1) Black people can be naturally blonde.


Hell, even have blue eyes too.

2) She never bleached her skin. You might want to be careful throwing the word 'bleach' around, it's quite ignorant and insensitive.

No sis, lets not with Beyonce and bleaching. I cosign everything else though.

People are pushing it

[91Winchester]

Overreaction as always. The girl looks great wearing' em.

[RihannasVeryOwn]

I'm glad she apologised.
people asking why this is racist or talking **** about cultural appropriation are just showing how dim they are. black girls are made fun of for their hair, their lips, their music etc but when a white girl does it she's praised. for example magazines going up for Kylie Jenner's lips, Iggy Azalea being more successful than any of the other black girl rappers, this girl looking good with box braids but if you saw a black girl wearing them she'd be ghetto

see the double standard? its not being 'sensitive' or whatever, the injustice is clear as day if you arent an ignorant asshole.
