The whole hair mess (Zendaya Controversy), it’s frustrating!  Not to point fingers, I love all races and treat them all the same but these interviews really rubbed me the wrong way. When it’s a black/white situation it’s always the black one who is “guilty”, in the wrong or overreacting; it’s not only this hair thing but a lot of recent situations like Ferguson and Trayvon . That Access Hollywood interview with Billy [Bush] was fake as fuck, it’s like he put on a show around Shaun [Robinson] but let his true colors show in this. One, Giuliana was wrong and so where the people who wrote the damn joke. If no one could understand or realize it was a problem or offensive they need to go back to school and educate themselves, it was stereotyping at its best.  Just like assuming someone in baggy pants and a hoodie is a thug. Okay Giuliana [Rancic] is a nice person, that doesn’t excuse her comment. She may not be a racist but her comment was stereotyping based off race because the same comment didn’t come to mind nor was it written when Kylie [Jenner] had them [faux locs], they made it seem like Zendaya was overreacting when all she did was give an educated statement about it not being fault (that it was subconscious).  Many backed the statement and supported her, she didn’t ask for anyone to do what they did.  She didn’t make them tweet her and repost her message, they agreed with her because it was the truth. That is why it became such a big thing and so public. The A-listers made it a big story not Zendaya (she just spoke her mind and ultimately the truth).  I’m just tired of these non people of color either avoiding or blatantly refusing to own up and admit they were wrong but instead,  making excuses for why they did what they did, making it okay and them looking like the good guy it’s just one slap in the face after another to people of color.
