Just A Dangerously Poisoned Girl

I’m done with this post. I’m not going to delete it so people can read it and learn. but I’m done. i wasn’t speaking for a different culture but you can all think what you want. i wanted to try and spread some positivity and explain how we as a fandom should work together and educate rather than send hate. but that will never work. people will never unite for long and the world will burn because of the divide. i’ve accepted it, my whole world has been divided by race and cultures, i’ve never been living in just one culture, so i should have known that the whole world was the same.

CORNROWS belong to black people. Not at braids do. “POETIC JUSTICE” braids belong to black people. He was wearing CORNROWS, which have an extremely prominant and significant place in black culture. They were used by slaves to map ways off the plantation. And even now they have significance. Black people have a different hair texture from most other people, so we have to wear out hair differently. When trying to protect OUR HAIR, THE SHIT THAT GROWS OUT OF OUR MOTHERFUCKING SKULLS, we are mocked and ridiculed for it. In extreme situations teachers and sports officials cut/shave braids and dreads off of black people. Our natural beauty is mocked and called unprofessional. We are called dumb and uneducated for wearing a fro and talking in AAVE (which is an official dialect of the English language). Our culture is not a costume. This has been named alot, but it’s true. Let me say something else; our struggle is real. It’s never “just a word” or “just a hairstyle” and some of you can never grasp that. If you aren’t black then I don’t expect you to fully grasp this, but at least attempt. Yeah, other non-black POC have struggles, but you’ll never truly understand. Turning the other cheek won’t help. If you care about Christopher, you’d want to better him. You’d call him out with us.

@tsujiibooty okay so, i know they have a prominent history in black culture but they aren’t owned by a culture because you can’t own a hairstyle. i understand the shit people go through because of them and it’s not right however, if people in other cultures are willing to do that to their hair then it’s on them. all people have different hair textures. it’s not a costume and i did say that, if you’re wearing HAIR because you like a style it’s not a costume. just like straightening your hair isnt to make someone like a white person, it’s because they like the style. i study in college african and latino studies as a part of my major and i do understand, but everyone needs to understand that people can do what they want to their hair, and that owning hair styles only divides cultures and people. but that is what america is all about. i never said we were turning our cheek and you’re right all minorities have struggles people will never fucking understand especially if you’re surrounded by people who will never look like you. but enough about me. we aren’t looking away, i said to educate and not spread hate, but also to understand that it’s hair and someone can’t own hair. yelling and hating on people makes you no better and if possible even worse because you just start swearing and calling people dumb.

Possibly even worse how? You act like I can’t be right because I’m cursing. I can, and I am. We don’t own hair, but we own hair styles. We don’t own all braids, but we own CORNROWS. Chan was wearing CORNROWS in his hair. WE BLACK PEOPLE CREATED AMD POPULARIZED THIS STYLE. We were MOCKED, RIDICULED and SHAMED for this. And we still to this day are. People have some nerve saying “get over it”. We can’t “get over it” because it’s a constant issue. Telling us to get over it and not acknowledging what we say is in fact turing the other cheek. Many idols wear cornrows and braids like the one’s Lisa wore purely for aesthetic, and when it’s pointed out we’re silenced because “it’s no big deal” and “nobody owns the hairstyle”. It’s never a big deal until it affects you. Y'all don’t care.

@tsujiibooty pease listen to me. like actually read what I’m saying and try to open your mind just like a little. i never said get over it. i understand. i said it’s worse because THE POINT OF MY POST WAS TO SPREAD POSITIVITY AND EDUCATE NOT TO HATE AND JUST CANCEL SKZ. yet you come in calling me a bitch and dumb, like that’s the total opposite. if you want to have people hear you and understand you, don’t swear. in an argument or debate if you start off by swearing or start swearing it gives off the appearance that you’re uneducated on the topic or have no facts to back it up. which i know is untrue but it’s just how it is, that’s how people react to having someone swear in a conversation. so understand that i never said to dismiss it, i said to educate him. i said i understand the problems people go through because of their hair and the style but other people can wear it too if they aren’t using it as a costume or to directly hurt someone, if he or anyone likes it, take it as a compliment that after years and years of hate and ridicule which still goes on, people are starting to finally notice your natural beauty. that’s the message i was sending. but calling me a bitch and dumb was uncalled for, because you never know who you’re actually talking too and what they’re going through. i just wanted to spread some sense and positivity and an educated way t go about this. but once again, the internet has proven to me that people will always be divided and we will never unite. i know that first hand but didn’t want to believe it, but it’s been proven time and time again.

As much as you say you never said “get over it” to indirectly suggested it when you said “HAIR IS HAIR” and “hairs isn’t cultural appropriation”. You dismissed it, as most idol stans do, which is irritating and frustrating. Black stans make up alot of the stan community. We contribute greatly and our feelings aren’t considered. Saying we should “take it as a compliment” is understandable but not practical. Especially when some idols are so too faced as to wear our hairstyles and call us ugly and n*ggers. Yes, I called you “a bitch” and “dumb” and that was uncalled for, but that don’t take away from my point. It’s good to learn about other cultures, of course, but few actually go through the effort to do so for black culture. Hip Hop and Rap influences are so saturated that some people really think that’s all there is to black culture. They don’t even bother to ask us. They aren’t us and claim to know so much about us. Our identity as a people comes from alot of places including our hair, and being told that your culture isn’t yours is infuriating.

@tsujiibooty you’re right. and I’m dont responding i have a lot of home work for Jim Crow to Black Power class to do. and it did take a way a lot of your credibility when you started off by calling me a bitch. luckily that’s not even close to the worse thing i’ve been called, but dumb did hurt. but whatever, a majority of people hate me. i understand your points but the way you started by yelling at me took away a lot of what you had to say. it overpowered a lot.
