Why are you so obsessed with identity with people? That’s taking a giant step backward when you put identity front and center. Remember these are the characteristics we are born with, and did not have a choice. So, I can’t even relate to how you think and the way you posted this. REGRESSIVE- that’s your trajectory, wake up.
What the hell, I literally didn't put any personal opinion in my post, it was just a question to get a feel of how other people felt, that pic isn't even me. Chill the fuck out liberal nazi and go shit your diarrhea opinions on someone else
You invited me to your post, so when I oblige and you don’t like what you think I said, now I’m not invited? You can’t throw me off your post, this is America- at least where I’m sitting. And my right is not more, nor is it less than yours, no matter what you think. You don’t like my words, isudpedt you don’t have a clue what I’m even talking about. You completely missed my point, that identity politics isbackwaerd and barbaric.
You think ima liberal nazi, proving my point that youmissed my whole thesis. Everyone on here that knows me knows I’m a conservative, I put myself just left of dead center on the political spectrum.
Well considering I don't think there is anything wrong with a white woman wearing box braids and that was MY whole point, and then u came at me like whoaaa?
Actually, you and I probably agree to more than we don’t agree on. I saw a pic of a sweet looking young girl all dressed up , smiling, and looking happy. The dreads, I barely noticed them, and I can see she’s fair skinned, but thatsas far as that went. When you make tiny details so important, what do you do wn the big important issues come up, like your nation being invaded from within, by domestic terrorists who tell you they are going to burn down everything you worked for, built on the shoulders of generations before you.
I'm a white girl and I was interested in wearing box braids but I know how sensitive and pc everyone is lately so I really wanted to know how many people found that acceptable or not
Now that’s something to talk about, don’t you think? It’s not anyone’s fault that you and I are on different planets with how we think. I did not mean o come off as aggressive, so if I did, I apologize. I’m just very psssionate about things, so I would ths5 a smart lady like you can help with other issues happen ing all around us.
Ok , thanks for clarifying your position. I see why you and others who disagree with the mob would be careful about stepping onto a rhetotival mine field, if that is your state of mind, I understand. But I don’t care anymreabou things like that, I used to, but not now, because I realize no matter or much I try to meet in the middle somewhere, they keep moving the middle way over to the left. They will never be happy, so you should stop trying to appease anyone on the left, they are destroying a once great nation. , imho.
As for the substance of your post, I see now that I did miss the entire point, like I wasn’t even in the same hemisphere, and for that, again, I apologize. My mindset isn’t even close to worrying about being excoriated on social media, I simply don’t give a fuck. 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️I can say it easier in private messag8ng, if you want.
Black women with natural hair are considered ugly, poor, useless, and unkept looking. Basically the more black a person looks the less value they have to the masses, especially if you are a black women.
People don't like when white people wear black hairstyles because most of the time people say that a white girl is prettier/ better than a black women who has a big butt even if they both have the same fucking butt.
Well isn't it time yu stood up and showed them, do something that get under their skin? Become better... Not by protests... Study hard and become their boss, have the satisfaction of throwing their resume in the bin when it lands on your desk As for box braids being afric that really isn't true, box braids go back thousands of years from Asia the death masks of mummies are proof of that. real African women shave their heads, maybe to keep them cool and the ones who do braid the I'm pretty certain it's to stop bugs getting in their hair, or to stop their hair sticking to their heads because of sweat.. It's not a fashion statement, it's a necessity!
Western people wear braids for fashion and 90 percent of the hair is from some Asian sex slave exploited to sell her hair either willfully or forcefully
Would you rather the moral high ground and tell these people who make fun of your hair to fk off or sell your sole to the devil and wear hair shorn from another female... Oh an that includes white women too who put in hair extensions...
As a redhead with frizzy hair who is an actual small Minority, preaching to the choir about how mocked you are about your hair
No problem!.. People who say a certain group can't wear certain styles, just don't like that group or have a certain disdain for them.. I know cause that kina used to be me.. 😂.. Kinda..
Lol, I get it but I don't want anyone thinking I'm some entitled spoiled white gurl, I love everyone and respect cultures! I think black people look 10x better with this hair than me lol and think black women are gorgeous very easily
😂😂.. If they think that from you wearin a hairstyle, then that is their problem not yours.. Cultural appropriation is just a little bit of a silly thing since most people participate in other peoples "culture" in some form or another.. A lot of current "Black" culture was derived from Southern culture.. And certain brain styles from places like the West Indies..
Hair is hair. You can't put a time stamp on a simple and effective hairstyle, because chances are someone else across the globe figured it out too completely on their own. Where they started shouldn't be an issue. Saying they started in Africa is dumb, saying they started in Northern Europe is dumb.
Its not though. They originated in Africa for the cultures present in Africa, they originated in Asia for the cultures present in Asia, etc etc. It's not like the idea was stolen, it's a pretty simple concept anyone with enough hair can figure out.
That's like going to a native woman and being mad because her hair is straight and worn down like a European woman, or claiming that the curly hair in the middle east actually originated in central Europe by the celts.
I am Inuit though, and I can say a white/black/latinx/Asian person with hair like the one prevalent in my culture and it's history isn't that offensive. Maybe cause I'm able to separate a hairstyle from a nonsensical personal attack.
It’s your hair do what makes you happy. Color is a product of evolution to protect you from radiation while maintaining vitamin D production. We humans created the idea of race which is a man made. And only in more recent times.
its a bout as offensive as beyonce going blonde. fashion is a melting pot and what many neo lib ''everything is offensive'' idiots dont realize is that its this very cultural melting pot that encourages less marginalisation or reinforcing of racial stereotyping.
Whites were braiding their hair hair long before black people. Look at ancient paintings, sculptures etc and there's a lot of braided European hair styles
There's different types of braiding, the braids the women is wearing above is black braids. You aren't black are you? If not you can at least now the overwhelming differences between the two. This comment is so stupid, it's beyond me lmao
I think it's very naive to the culture, and their doing because it was a hit new quirky trend from Kim Kardashian. Who is just naive and tone-deaf as her fans. Braids has always been a black thing, will always be. I don't like how people would call black women hurtful things back then, but go on and copy it now. It's never ok to wear something, it's not just a hair style, it was a tradition passed on from girl to girl to keep us connected to Africa. It's never ok for them to wear like a fashion trend. Their naive to the fact. Their inconsiderate to us and disrespect us when they do wear that.
Girls in the 90s of Al colours wore box braids, they were fashionable and kept African women trained in the hairstyles in a job...
Nobody unless hair is in 100 percent fantastic condition should wear them at all... They are heavy, they drag and pu at the root and also cause permanent damage to the hairline, plus they go stinky as can't wash them often
Same with black girls with stick straight blonde hair. Just looks really silly. Same how white girls with braids like this look silly. But guess what? Who tf cares.
Not offensive at all. It's a style choice. How offensive is it when a girl waxes her vulva? It's not. It's a style choice.
I know. Cultural appropriation. It's been going on for 10,000 years. It's good and healthy. Don't like it? Burn down all the Mexican, Chinese and Italian restaurants NOW!!!
It's about as offensive if a black chick wore a hairstyle that is typically worn by white women. IT'S NOT OFFENSIVE

Its not offensive. its just cos white people dont need it their hairtexture is sensitive for it, they already have thin hai. Box braids can make people with think straight hair lose their hairline and just lose hair in general. Whats the point? lets be honest its a trend and back in the days black people got bullied for wearing it and i even saw a WHITE girl with ginger hair (she's a bully) in fifth grade beat up another girl for wearing box braids and tell white people that they shouldn't wear braids and its for black people. Lets be honest white people wouldn't wear box braids if it wasn't trending now?
No. More than one culture on more than one continent use braids of various styles, from Vikings to moors, to the Chinese to the various African civilizations.
Lmao. I’d keep my thoughts to myself when around her but yea when the black people group up, we totally gonna talk shit and mumble under our breaths. Its just what it is 🤷♀️
As a black woman, I don’t like it. I’m not gonna disrespect anyone but it’s not something I can support personally and I’m not gonna press my opinions on anyone unless they ask me to.

Sure it's offensive. It's offensive blacks claim they're responsible for this look when it originated in Egypt. Damn blacks & their theft of Arabic culture.
In reality, the people who find something as trivial as hair offensive need help. Like locked in a padded room help. I mean I've frizzy curly ass black hair that cropped to ear length looks like an afro in humid weather. I'm white. It's natural. And any black who gets offended over that can kiss my fat arse.
Egyptians are known as black people. Look it up. People in Africa, have ALWAYS braid their hair for centuries. You sound mad Why? It doesn't bother me who wears braids or not. I'm black and never wore them. Different strokes, for different folks.
@ThongQueenFlirt Are you an idiot? Egyptians aren't referred to as black people. Centuries means nothing with regards to millennia you uneducated twat.
Concepts of black or white didn't exist in the times of ancient Egypt. Such comparisons weren't made until western archeologists of the late 19th and early 20th century forced those distinctions onto the continent.
One also didn't see distinction between northern African and so called "Sub Saharan" African peoples but differences were observed by way of nation states and ancient tribes.
All that said Nothern Africa is still Africa, and the present resistance of Northern Africans to resist being considered Black is a phenomenon that's just over a century old, which is predominantly due to depictions of "Sub Saharan" Africans by the colonial powers.

No it would not be offensive at all.. It's a style made for anybody to wear.. Especially if they paid for it..
Thank you, not many black people have been responding which i was aiming for more tho
No problem!.. People who say a certain group can't wear certain styles, just don't like that group or have a certain disdain for them.. I know cause that kina used to be me.. 😂.. Kinda..

It is not offensive at all. Braids originated from Scandinavia/Nordic culture.
I meant box braids, not just regular braids
Box braids originated from Egypt over 5,000 years ago. Doesn't change the rest of my statement.
no they didn't they originated from Africa
Egypt... Is in Africa...
ik that
I was replying to the part about Scandinavia
Hair is hair. You can't put a time stamp on a simple and effective hairstyle, because chances are someone else across the globe figured it out too completely on their own.

ok retard
If you don't understand cultural development, you can't exactly go around calling people retard without looking like one yourself.
I don't get how saying they originated in Africa is dumb when it's literally a fact
lol I'm kidding
you aren't even black so you can't say something isn't offensive to you if it's not even your culture
Its not though. They originated in Africa for the cultures present in Africa, they originated in Asia for the cultures present in Asia, etc etc. It's not like the idea was stolen, it's a pretty simple concept anyone with enough hair can figure out.
That's like going to a native woman and being mad because her hair is straight and worn down like a European woman, or claiming that the curly hair in the middle east actually originated in central Europe by the celts.
I'm just gonna stop arguing with you cuz I don't talk to dump people
dumb*
@c00kie_m0nster dump people is a cool insult to, no offense to the other girl lol
lmaooo
I am Inuit though, and I can say a white/black/latinx/Asian person with hair like the one prevalent in my culture and it's history isn't that offensive. Maybe cause I'm able to separate a hairstyle from a nonsensical personal attack.
@c00kie_m0nster lololo please no hate cherrytwist all luv here
@cherrytwist dont you ever say latinx EVER
I think I will tho
It’s your hair do what makes you happy. Color is a product of evolution to protect you from radiation while maintaining vitamin D production. We humans created the idea of race which is a man made. And only in more recent times.
Do what you feel looks good to you.
And... your hair looks pretty.

You look beautiful with these. Does it matter if someone finds them offensive? No. People will find anything offensive if they want.
Lol, if someone is offended by braids then I'd wear them more often just to piss them off.
it's not me but thanks!
Well no problem 😂
I didn't say it was you I meant if you think you look beautiful in these.
Same with black girls with stick straight blonde hair. Just looks really silly. Same how white girls with braids like this look silly. But guess what? Who tf cares.

Its not. Anyone that says it is, is delusional or just plain stupid and best ignored.
Aw a special snowflake down voted me and didn't have the courage to comment how cute..
lmao thumbs up again to you
Thanks... I just have a few that seem to follow me and down vote me no matter what I say.. You're awesome though.
Not offensive at all. If anyone gets offended by the way someone does their hair, they have deeper set issues.
No. More than one culture on more than one continent use braids of various styles, from Vikings to moors, to the Chinese to the various African civilizations.
Lmao. I’d keep my thoughts to myself when around her but yea when the black people group up, we totally gonna talk shit and mumble under our breaths. Its just what it is 🤷♀️
I mean here people are honestly gonna say “she must wanna be blck” but they’d accept her into the crew
I just wouldn't want to get punched out or some shit for it, do u think I would? That isn't me in the pic by the way
Lmao no. Its the white people who’d prob disown you. I’ve seen it done before when someone relates too much to blck culture
As a black woman, I don’t like it. I’m not gonna disrespect anyone but it’s not something I can support personally and I’m not gonna press my opinions on anyone unless they ask me to.
