[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]YouTube is their teacher nowadays. Show him some videos about black fashion, then about cultural appropriation. Some neutral, thoughtful ones.
Tell him some people are crazy and may accuse him of the latter. 
Try to find out the appeal. Is it the aesthetic or is it that he perceives people wearing it as cool? Then play it by ear.
Full disclosure: I would be a little upset if my kid wanted to wear black fashion just because it’s not quite my cup of tea, but if he still wanted to wear it after the above I would let him.
Disclaimer: I am not racist, I just want to steer clear of any possible accusations plus it’s a matter of personal taste. [/quote]

Yes, saying you don’t like the fashion of an entire race of people as if it’s a monolith is racist. All black people don’t wear the same thing.[/quote]

I think you should educate yourself on what black fashion actually is… then MAYBE you will understand that yes, not all black people wear it… jeez [/quote]

What’s black fashion then? Please, educate me. [/quote]
