Kendall Jenner Afro Outrage Ridiculousness, Hero Mom BAMF, & Voter Suppression & Rights Explained. Sara Loving: If black girls didn't face discrimination for how they wear their hair then cultural appropriation wouldn't be a problem. It's so disheartening how many times I've had to explain this to people. Black girls have historically and systematically been forced to conform to white beauty standards, and are punished both economically and legally when they do not do so, but white girls are celebrated when they take on black/latinx beauty trends. Also, if someone accuses you or someone you know of cultural appropriation, they're NOT CALLING YOU RACIST. Just because you did something racially insensitive doesn't make you a hateful person, it just means you didn't know better. Be humble, consider what the person is feeling and saying to you. Our culture is still racist because our racist history isn't far behind us, and we need to address the problems honestly without playing the victim every time someone suggests something we said is racist. We all say racist things sometimes, we just need to address why those things are racist, why we think/say them, and why these things are problematic.

Why the F' can't people of one culture, enjoy and respect another culture? The clothes, the food, the styles, etc. Until this separatist attitude towards everyone's ethic background, culture, fashion etc. stops. we all will never get along. I believe we should be able to enjoy and respect other cultures without being criticized. I think ethnic or cultural appropriation is BS. Just another reason to hate, created by those who wish to hate and hate others just because someone is NOT of your cultural background. Why do I need permission to like the same fashion? Why do I need permission to like the same foods, music, literature, entertainment, etc? GET OVER IT OTHER PEOPLE LIKE OTHER THINGS THAN THEIR OWN CULTURES Also, many other races besides blacks had afros in the 60's and 70's. They do not own that hair style. nor should anyone for that matter. America is a melting pot. lets blend already. Be yourself, and an individual, but let yourself enjoy other cultures and yet let others enjoy yours as well. /rant.

Cultural appropriation doesn't exist It's a poison mindset propagated by close-minded minority SJWs, who just wanna shit on white people and have people still come away from the conversation thinking the white people they just shit on are the bad guys It encourages xenophobia, racism, and discourages travelling and trying new things, and God forbid you actually get good at something and want to teach others to be good at it as well They've literally closed down yoga classes because the teacher wasn't Indian, and roasted a white chef who was inspired by and started cooking Vietnamese Pho And black culture is just a part of American Culture, and it's open to everyone, as everyone who comes here becomes an American You can't do, eat, or try something that another race invented first? Is Eminem the Devil? Is Darius Rucker evil? No, but even the thought of cultural appropriation is backwards and racism promoting

With the Kendall Jenner story, I tend to defer to the minority community for their opinion. Since it seems like a non-story for most, I'll leave it at that. Also, Kendall is getting blamed for a creative team decision. I guarantee she has next to no voice over how her hair is styled. However, saying that hair is a call back to the Gibson Girl style is an absolute disgrace. It doesn't even attempt to have the shape of the style. It looks like a badly teased perm from the 80s. Ugh it makes my fashion history heart cringe. On Georgia, I'm from Georgia. I'm so incredibly pissed that the person in charge of the election is also running. How was he not told to step down? How is this not a HUGE red flag and HUGE conflict of interest? It's hard not to argue that there's obvious voter suppression going on. I can't imagine this will be a peaceful election in Georgia no matter who wins.

I really don't understand what is the problem with someone having braids or curly hair I don't mind I don't mind it see I'm an African woman but I still have pale skin my siblings are are blond my ancestry goes over a thousand years old I'm pure African there is no European ancestry in my blood but I still don't look African because African is not a color so when I see a white woman in in the news wearing braids or something I don't mind I think it's a fashion statement this is coming from someone who is actually African who live their entire life in Africa who's understand what braids symbolizes what big lips mean this is coming from someone who actually lived oppression who still living in oppression not someone who is just fed up with life and is basically creating Havoc or something so idiotic such as a fashion statement

I feel like cultural appropriation, while definitely a thing, has been used for too wide a net of things. My general idea of it is that if a thing is deeply important to a culture (like say, feather headdresses and others) then it's cultural appropiation to wear that outside the culture, especially if not worn in the original context (wearing headresses for aes and not the original reason. If it isn't an important thing in the culture, it's not cultural appropiation, it's just someone doing something that originated in another culture. Getting angry at white people wearing dreads can technically be justified by 'it's considered bad when we do it but when they do it it's good' but then you shouldn't get angry at them specifically (unless they hold that sentiment) but at the fact that society holds that sentiment.

If the end goal is equality then shouldn't a white woman be able to wear any hair style she wants and a black woman be able to wear any hair style she wants? I appreciate the history and it should be acknowledged, but to get pissed off about it now seems to be contrary to the ultimate goal. I feel like anyone who gets offended by cultural appropriation doesn't really want equality but rather a return to a form of segregation where white people do white things and black people do black things and Chinese people do Chinese things and etc. I disagree. So long as we acknowledge and honor the history, I think it's fine to expand your boundaries to include other cultures. Also, Kendall's hair didn't look much like an afro. this particular incident seems especially silly.

I think it's important to know how people were allowed to vote previously in ND. By showing up. I'm pretty sure we had to provide ID - but I think they allowed us to even use our University ID along with our out of state ID(I still voted absentee in my home state, so I can't tell you for certain other than my friends did vote in ND even though they were still residents of other states. So people who only live in the state during the school year were able to vote, even though they don't live in North Dakota full time. I do think the law is flawed, but I think there is an attempt to try and make it North Dakotans voting for North Dakota rather than a hodge podge of people who may not even be here by the next election period voting for North Dakota.

I'm sorry, I don't understand cultural appropriation. Why not mix everything, then there's no reason to be racist. The same way traveling and eating foods from different cultures, why not embrace it all and explore instead of trying to segregate with cultural appropriation as an excuse? We're all the same, we all know that racists are either ignorant or have some screws loose but that doesn't mean that a cute ginger with a natural afro like the girl in Brave is culturally appropriating. I just feel like it does more harm than good to separate because your ethnic group has been treated very poorly in the past, but it's not like black people are the only ones, they're just some of the more recent ones. But we're all the same.

So many people want the US to be multicultural. Yet they scream when things, like fashion and hair-dues are shared between cultures. You can't have multiculturalism and completely separate cultures without instituting some kind of segregation. Also, since Proto-humans first walked upright and developed culture, different groups have been borrowing and learning from each other. There is no such thing as cultural appropriation. It's a part of being human, that we will see something we like and copy it. So, get used to it, because it's never going away. People need to get over themselves. We are all taking ourselves way too seriously these days.
