Locks is a better term, I kinda cringe seeing people say dreads. I was kinda shook when I found that out but also makes total sense chaeri pls Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Werk 13,165 Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 @ALGAYDO @Runway @Jose P Help how does one respond to this quote below? "Thatâs just it though. You arenât being personally affected by Justin Bieberâs choice of headwear. In what way has Justin Bieberâs headwear personally affected you? If youâve received negative reactions from people for wearing the same thing, thatâs on those people, not him. This constant rabid need to jump on anyone for their personal and harmless life choices out of bitterness for the way OTHER people have treated you is just ridiculous. Your anger is completely misdirected toward the people who celebrate and emulate styles that are common amongst other cultures rather than the ones who will denigrate a POC for the same styles. This anger then just comes across as bitterness and envy. Also, please stop telling white people they have no space to speak on these things, theyâre the ones youâre attempting to paint negatively and they have a right to defend themselves. I canât believe that it has to be pointed out time and again how beyond stupid this whole thing is. The entire concept of cultural appropriation itself is a joke. People can wear THEIR clothes however they please, style THEIR hair however they like and unless youâre paying for it, it shouldnât be your concern."

Yet when a white person does it, itâs âcoolâ and âa unique styleâ With virtually zero negative impacts.  And thatâs obviously not okay but itâs the way it is. Thatâs the whole problem that has to focused on. A non-black person wearing these type of styles is in no way directly harming black people let alone being malicious towards them, they just want to wear their their style. And they can do it if they please. People really need to get over it and focus on the actual problem here which is that black people doing it is seen as the way you described.

Except I donât think anyone here is actually furious and severely outraged by this. But if one finds it tasteless than one can call that out, no? Whatâs this thing yâall love to do about trying to defuse situations by accusing everyone of being more angry than they actually are to then make a point about how the situation isnât large enough to get that angry, even though Iâm sure those of us here arenât that angry? And thus subsequently diminishing the thing people are criticizing, minor as it is? No one is calling for widespread protests for Justinâs clothing choices, but we can still criticize it on an Internet forum. And if after the things Iâve described on previous posts you donât see how this is tasteless then I donât know what else to say to you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can wear what he wants" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
