And as an adult I can say, "Eh, screw doing my hair." And be fine. They never get to get away from it.

Too late, she's gone full Isla.

For the laffs, this is not me, but pretty much me in the 90s



Add braces and more curl.


Still got a job.

God that was the worst.

I was talking about beauty standards now as that was what your trailer was primarily about.

Also

I doubt it comes up in your appropriation circles very often.

Was solely referencing this.

The hair braid/dreads shit seems to keep popping up on my fb feed

Which leads one to believe that you are a part of a circle where the topic of cultural appropriation comes up even though you don't subscribe to the argument. At the very worst it was a jab at the ones who are posting, not you.

Who did I ban?

It was from comments in a Katy Perry article that was trending on fb all over the place. She apologized for wearing braids.

But yes beauty standards for all people in the US are based on white people looks. Farrah Fawcett is white. So Brady Bunch not going to help you there. You would have had an argument if Jane was crying over not looking like Aretha Franklin.

Sorry Perry > Swift

But seriously that whole hissy fit is dumb as a pile of rocks. Why do I have to like her music?

I was unaware huge asses were a white woman thing. I'll go back in time to tell Iggy Azalea her ass implants weren't appropriation contrary to the headlines.

Well, we're talking about hair so I am really focusing on that. I didn't think I needed to specify.

With that said, I have a huge white ass, so I'll take it w/e it came from.

It's a frumpy fat ass, though. So fail.

Only way to solve the problem is by not allowing black women to straighten their hair or wear weaves so that they may have proper black beauty icons to idealize.

The natural look is slowly rising, and I am glad for that. But it still has stigma attached it it, so the problem should be recognized.


With that said, I can't imagine having to comb something like this everyday:

[arus2001]

As a bald man, all this hair talk is triggering me.

[thetruepandagod]

heh.

[Day]

i hate most everyone in that video that wasn't a "white cis male"

[Ksandra]

heh.

One of the worst things to come out from the left is this idea that we should shut down any conversation. I hate that shit.

Fffffffffff.

ITT: white people getting blame for fashion. Fuck it, w/e.

That's because you are focusing on the feels.


Look, for those who are honestly interested in understanding how important this is I recommend at least starting with Chris Rock's documentary "Good Hair."

Trailer:



You'll have to find the full film yourself. It's only $3 to rent on youtube. It'd be illegal for me to link it on BG.



And if you think this has nothing to do with racism, take a seat for a moment.

Black women spend thousands of dollars making their hair look nice. What black people and black culture determine is nice. They do not look at their dreads as gross, or nasty, or unkempt. For black culture that is stylish.

But our culture looks at them as gross, nasty, and unkempt because white people have said it's gross, nasty, and unkempt. This attitude towards black hair goes back to slavery. White people have defined what is "stylish" to our society despite what their culture deems as stylish. And they are getting denied for jobs because of that style. That is insanely dumb, and yes it is rooted in the racist history of our society.



If you are one of those people that shouts "racism doesn't exist anymore" then I will find the get out frog for you. If you are one of those people who believe racism still exists, stop trying to deny obvious incidents of racism because you don't like something.

Why can't they just wash their hair

Imagine what it'd be like trying to post on this forum if you weren't I'm with the liberal groupthink lol
