She isn't wrong, at all, I'm not black but I see the double standards of beauty for what is considered 'ghetto' for black people, but ideal for white people, even though it ORIGINATES from black people.

[@turtletail313]

It's also important to consider the unfair pressure on white women to have more "black" features, such as thicker lips and a more curvy figure. Being "flat", which is more common in white and asian populations, is now basically synonymous with being ugly and childlike. Many white and asian girls are now growing up in a society that expects them to have the body of Cardi B, which of course they can never naturally achieve. I guess what I'm saying is that everyone is the victim in this situation...white women for now having to live up to an impossible standard, and black women for often times not being given credit for trends or being called ghetto for just existing.

@@marleangreene6117 Karen’s girl. I went out to brunch with my friends last year not even realizing that it was Cinco de Mayo and I saw so many younger white college kids wearing sombreros and panchos as a costume. I go to a Mexican restaurant in a predominantly white neighborhood and you see tons of older white couples who just love the food and culture but I’ve seen the same type of people talk about immigration and building the wall. Not everyone is the same it’s just the pattern I’ve noticed. I think it’s fine to grow up different and not understand but when you have an opportunity as an adult to educate yourself it’s important to understand different lifestyles and why people get upset when things get “popularized” when the mainstream Caucasian media gets a hold of it.

I wanted to appeal to white people so badly. And now at the age 26, watching all of these nonblack girls participate in a culture I shunned to be accepted by them makes my blood boil. I’m glad I’ve grown to embrace my culture and love myself for being black. But it’s something disgusting about watching nonblack people be praised for something I would be ridiculed for.

Yeah. You get that a lot with some hispanic people (because they are a group of entirely mixed race people) due to their colonial programming and that guilt comes from the fact some poc, especially older generations want to be both on the side of the white racism (the authourity group), and feel white but also want to be poc when diversity is marketable because they know they aren't white or that they see it being okay to not be white now. They can't accept the fact that they often fight for both ways and get no where. They have always had the option to conform to the legacy of racism that black people cant fit into, because black people are what white supremacy has held as the furthest away from it. Its the vibe I got from Jennifer Lopez' Superbowl, when she shoed up after Black artists were protesting it, then made it all about how much of a good Latin American she is, with no black Puerto Ricans near her.

As someone with naturally curly hair, I am so thankful for the Black hair influencers teaching me how to take care of my hair. Big shout out to Bianca Renee!

[@kionnakelly2918]

[@Laurelandiron2]

Yes! The Curly girl method changed my hair! I got my curly hair from my Italian dad. My poor mother had no idea what to do with it so she blew it straight with a round brush for years! I’m so appreciative of the knowledge shared by and the brands that are by Black people that helped bring my curls back from the dead.

It's okay to like other cultures, just don't be claiming that it's yours and excluding said culture. Not that hard of a concept, people.

As a black girl growing up in a white dominated society (Germany) African American culture led me to embrace and live out my blackness before I could connect with my actual homecountry in the motherland Thanks to the AA community, you saved many of us💕 Also if I see one more white girl with braids, acrylics, hoops and a weird tan using AAVE I’m gonna move to mars

[@cheerx3js]

can i ask what your experiences where as a black girl growing up in germany? i visited once in highschool (for 2 weeks), but i have always wanted to go back for longer

What’s “AAVE”

[@MszIndeya]

This is why I’ll always stan miss JA. SHES EVERYTHING. She’ll give a voice to the voiceless. I truly admire that sm. This video hit home because I definitely was made fun of for having big lips. I was definitely made fun of for wearing weaves. I’ve seen the kardashisns laser off their edges just to create baby hairs to match their kids. It’s a mess. And these conversations are so necessary

As a black southerner (Louisiana) you be hittin it.

[@unaBRIDGEd32]

Right! She got my Southern Stamp of Approval. She hits it like the pageant queen and cotillion southerners though.
