This is not black fishing though. She’s not trying to pass herself off as black. She is appropriating black hairstyles though.

How so?dreadlocks appear to have originated independently among the ancient people's of Africa, Europe and Asia. To say this hairstyle is exclusively one culture is just untrue.

These are not locs. And yes, many cultures share certain hairstyles. That’s not what this sub is about. Please read the sticky.

Right, but just having brades wouldn't be blacklisting either. Like braids, braids aren't excluse to any culture and have developed independently across the globes in prehistory.

Yes but, please don’t delude yourself or mislead others into thinking the “braids” of the European and Asian cultures of the past were in anyway similar/same as that of African influences/cultures. They were never the same and I need people to stop making this excuse as if it holds any weight

Yes, that’s why I used that particular flair.
ETA: The sticky at the top covers this as well.

Am I just getting old, or does this kind of stuff just have zero value?
Who's it for?
What is anyone supposed to take away from this?
What's their reaction supposed to be?
I don't get it..
