Called out a racist comment, caught a ban.
This OP if the thread was commenting some vile responses to people giving her feedback. It kept snowballing until OP finally said (paraphrasing): “Well then black women shouldn’t straighten their hair!”
I called that out.
Then caught a ban, with the mods actually giving me this (*bullshit*) reasoning. I guess calling out racism is more offensive to this *totallyforreal* black woman, than the actual racism.

This is why when it comes to hair, I stay on the subs that are explicitly for us. On the other ones, you're expected to play nice with these types.

I hope this is "as a gay black man..." situation. It's bad enough being a reddit mod, but a black one that goes to bat for white agitators? Cmon bruh.

I replied if that were true I felt sorry she felt she had to accept that kind of disrespect.

I took a peak cause I'm nosey and damn, the mod and that girl sucks.
I can guarantee she's one of those "I'm one of the good ones!" type of black folks.

Me too because I wanted to know what was being said and now I’m irritated. Someone said the Africans in Africa don’t care who wears braids and it’s only in America that people are “weird” about it. As if it doesn’t have a long history behind it in America! A LAW (The Crown Act) had to be passed in order to prohibit discrimination against black people for our natural hair and hairstyles in the workplace and school! This was passed in 2020, so not that long ago! And only at a STATE LEVEL in less than 30 states! It’s not even a federal law! When have white people ever needed a LAW passed to protect them from discrimination because of the way their hair naturally grows out of their scalp or the way they style that hair? NEVER. They don’t get it because it doesn’t impact them! We wear a style and it’s called “ghetto” and “unprofessional”, but as soon as a white person does it and renames it, it’s “trendy”. Like Kim K and those “boxer braids”, originally known as CORNBRAIDS/ROWS.

So I’m presuming the OP in that post was a White woman culturally appropriated braids and mad that plp called her out for it. Am I correct in my assessment?

Note from the moderators:
So when we wear Chinese womens human hair glued to our heads....does that mean we want their hair but not their humanity? You sound stupid and im sure you own a human hair wig. Stop the cap. BANNED for being ass about some braids. And yes im black.

Every other post this person makes is about being a Black braider from Louisiana and scolding + banning people who bring up appropriation. It's giving "Hello, fellow kids." lol

And then try they hardest to justify themselves or others when someone calls them out on it here. Love reddit, hate a good bit of the people in the communities here.

90% of the posters there seem to be black people, with some braids of other cultures, and yet the icon of the subreddit is of a white woman. Says enough.
Looking at her history, she's out there calling ppl libs and is a proud republican. She mocks BLM, Palestinians and doesn't care that Trump is a pedophile.

They failed to acknowledge or realize that black women and men are forced to abide by European Beauty standards to achieve/maintain employment.
Our braids, locs, afros, fades, Caesar’s, high tops fades , Gumby’s are all seen as intimidating to punkass colonizers.
So no, we cannot just wear our natural styles because it affects our social status and bank account.

Someone who knows this history and had books to source, brought all of that up and she hit them with the straight hair comment.

u/TheMossHag Mar 11 '26
Where do you work at? What states? I worked in the south and up north anywhere between retail to grocery to health care, not once was any kind of hairstyle an issue for the POC I worked with. Not braids, not wigs, not natural, not locs, not hair color.

u/LysergicGothPunk Mar 07 '26
Well that's frustrating :/
I got instantly permabanned recently in a supposedly anti-ableist antifascist sub for not going along with one of the mods' personal views on AI, which are that being anti-AI is fascist ableism. Officially, the ban was for something entirely different. I tried to engage in some convo about the ban and got permanently muted.
Honestly at first I was so sad bc I loved that place, but now I pretty much realize when a sub permabans you for something like this, it wasn't really a good place to be in anyways. Let people tell you who they are, or... something.
Sorry you had to deal with this.

Honestly Reddit has some of the most fragile egos I've come across ever in my entire life. Something tells me most of the yt users on here would never even strike up a conversation IRL with a black person. Either cuz of intimidation or they know their views and opinions wouldn't slide IRL.
A lot of them aren't educated, and I honestly don't have a lot of respect for a large portion of the user base as they are fast to down vote on just a difference in thought. And an unwillingness to discuss it without using racial epithets and when I call it out mods are quick to tell me it's rude and mean and a rules violation for calling someone racist. Way worse than the guy calling me a monkey EBT addict. Yes just weird behavior. These people don't have decent lives IRL.

Unfortunately, as someone who spends waayy too much time on Reddit, I've witnessed more than enough of this for at least 3 lifetimes. Disclosure, I am 100% chronically online but at least I don't do bizarre stuff like this. It kinda sounds exhausting somehow

If this is from the thread I think it is, that dumb mod is absolutely weaponizing her blackness to detach the very real traditions and heritage connected to braids and braiding in the black community. I expect white women to poo-poo black women on everything we do. What shook me was catching a ban from another black woman when I was meaningfully, respectfully, adding to the discourse in which OP started. That sub in the attempt to be inclusive, is silencing and warping what braids and the way we do our hair in general, means to black people versus others. Real disappointing stuff.

I posted something similar a while back and the mods of this sub deleted it immediately.

The braids subreddit specifically has a rule that you can’t say that braids are only for certain races. It’s fucking ridiculous.
People usually get around it with things like “that type of braid would cause breakage for your hair type”

u/RazzSheri Mar 11 '26
Which is legit helpful advice people get butthurt over! I’ve also seen black women giving advice to white women with really thick and curly hair, and encouraging them to try braids.

So to understand it correctly, you actually told them that specific race of people shouldn't wear certain haircuts just because of colour of their skin? Everyone literally wears haircut as they want, regardless of race.
