[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Perfectly fine hair style choice or inappropriate/insensitive cultural appropriation? Does it matter if the wearer is 25 vs. 45, or male vs. female? Curious about AA people's opinions...[/quote]

If it was inappropriate, the all the AAs that STRAIGHTEN their hair are just as guilty.  I personally this the AA curls are awesome.  [/quote] +1. Cultural appropriation works both ways. If it us inappropriate for one group, it is inappropriate for the other. This over the top political correct nonsense has got to stop. Copying is the greatest form of flattery. [/quote]

AAs straightening their hair or wearing weaves and wigs has history in assimilation to what was considered "the norm." Learn something before spouting your nonsense.[/quote]

Agreed, by definition cultural appropriation does NOT work both ways. When a minority culture takes on traits of the majority, it's called assimilation. And we flip the fuck out when people don't assimilate. [/quote] But you "flip the fuck out" if any whittle person dares to come near your culture. THAT is fucking nonsense--[b]it us the ultimate form of flattery[/b] and you are too damn ignorant and biased to see that. Good grief.[/quote]

Not that PP (I'm the other PP you were quoting). Is it really flattery when white people have taken the lowest common denominator of AA pop culture and copied it and made that their "truth"? Themed frat parties, real-housewives type attitudes, etc. All the garbage the media feeds us.

To many whites (and I am white, by the way!) black culture is nothing more than sports, hip-hop, and spoiled women behaving badly. I don't see too many white people flattering AA culture by discussing contemporary AA writers, or asking for more positive AA portrayals in film and television. Or by supporting AA businesses or up-and-coming artists.[/quote]
