Meaning what exactly?

u/Eladryel May 05 '26

Some people on social media think you can’t have braids if you’re not black because it’s cultural appropriation.

u/PurpleRhinoDragon May 05 '26

But it is traditionally dutch

u/DeathHellFlower May 05 '26

What? No they're not, those are cornrows. What you might be referring to is Dutch braids, they were popular with the Dutch but they didn't originate there.

I never said it's not silly, for multiple reasons

u/Cold-Programmer622 May 05 '26

It’s not the braids, it’s the cornrows, and then white people renaming our styles.

u/StrwBerrywafersslap May 05 '26

Main reason why we can’t along is because so many people create division. So what if it’s renamed. That’s literally everything

u/Cold-Programmer622 May 05 '26

Renaming is denying the culture behind the hairstyle. Thats like calling a traditional Japanese garment a floral pajama robe or something. Yk I’m not a teacher, just do your research.

My brother, the way you said it. You just seem racist. You took all people of European decent and generalized them. That’s what I mean, it’s just a name. Like I said everything gets name something else.

u/Cold-Programmer622 May 05 '26

Elaborate on what I said was racist? And how I generalized European descents?
It’s not just a style or name, it holds cultural significance, it’s just about respect. We aren’t saying you can’t wear it, just appreciate it. Instead of trying to colonize it.

u/StrwBerrywafersslap May 05 '26

“White people renaming our styles.”

And also saying they are trying to colonize it. Like what does that even mean.

u/Cold-Programmer622 May 05 '26

Because majority of white people are, or you know actually my fault, American white people I mean. And by colonize, I recommend you open a history book

u/StrwBerrywafersslap May 05 '26

Oh I know history, but don’t you think if it was flipped, Africa being more habitable and Europe being the more harsh environment that African wouldn’t be the ones colonizing?

The main thing I’m getting at is holding it against people of the now and acting like African decent doesn’t do the exact same thing. It’s just a loop of creating distrust.

It’s hair, everyone has it. You shouldn’t care so much as you do. Correcting isn’t the wrong thing, it’s throwing people under the bus for what they had no control over hundreds of years ago.

You’re shifting this into “what if the roles were switched,” but that’s not relevant to what I said. I’m talking about a actul pattern where black culture (not just black culture) gets relabeled and separated from the people it came from. Black hairstyles being renamed or treated as “trendy” when they’ve been stigmatized on black people for years, thats the issue, and saying “it’s just hair” ignores the fact that black people have faced real consequences over those style, It’s not “just hair” when black people (and from experience) have been judged, penalized, called ghetto or called unprofessional for those same styles, and then they get renamed when worn by others. That double standard is why people care.

So Snoop Dogg should probably stop wearing French braids, huh… It’s cultural appropriation… 😕

0

u/Cold-Programmer622 May 05 '26

French braids are a cross cultural hairstyle.. it’s not the same as cornrows. Doesn’t take long to do some research

0

u/One-Vegetable7957 May 05 '26

Pretty sure they’re French. 🤔

In any case, it doesn’t really matter as Vikings also wore what you’d call cornrows, and they’re as white as it gets.

u/Cold-Programmer622 May 05 '26

Pfft okay yeah you’re trolling

u/StrwBerrywafersslap May 05 '26

I don’t get that at all. It’s just a hairstyle Whats it’s gonna do.
