Just who are these nameless, faceless, and brainless individuals that have nothing better to do than pick on anything and everything? Don’t they have jobs, real lives, and drama of their own without continuously looking for imagined, picayune slights and bits of offense?
I recently read an article on Allur
Huh? What in kingdom come is that?
The dolts of social media began claiming Hudgens is unfairly using black culture after the former Disney starlet got box braids and posted some selfies online.
A white woman had the nerve to caption one of the pics “Yaaas braids,” and so many on social media had to have their 5 minutes of bilious fame by claiming that donning the mainly black hair style is somehow an affront to African-Americans.
You have got to be kidding me. Maybe she just liked braids.
Since when has adopting a hairstyle become offensive behavior? Was Bo Derek offensive in “10” when she sported corn rows and ran along the beach? Does that mean every black person that sports a Jheri curl or straightened hair is offensively appropriating white hair? And what about Michael Jackson? The dead mega-star bleached his skin until it was almost white. Was that an offensive appropriation?
It was not that long ago that these self-same arbitrators of idiocy were up in arms when Katy Perry dressed with a parasol and geisha clothes. She had to apologize, too.
Why? I don’t have the foggiest notion, but I really think that if you want to have braids, dress in geisha clothing, wear Indian feathers in your hair, walk around with a bindi on your forehead, or bleach your skin, no one should have any thing to say about it — and you certainly shouldn’t have to apologize for it.
Not for Nuthin™ but what I find really offensive is all these people that lurk the internet just waiting to find some miniscule item to pick on because they have nothing better to do with their time. Worry about the truly offensive things in this life — like lying politicians, people that harm innocent children or innocent animals, and huge pharmaceutical companies that keep profit ahead of our health.
Those are things to be offended at.
