And you clearly missed the point. Her hair being straighten is quite different. White people's hair does not require being straightened to grow healthily. It is just a form of styling your hair there a white people with curly hair to. When black people braid their hair most of the time it's how we maintain it, keep it healthy and grow it. We can't not braid our hair, it is very necessary for our hair to grow and that makes it part of black culture. She is saying that it is cultural appropriation if you do things like this and think it's cool but then reject it when it's on black people. When black people braid their hair they are seen as ghetto and rejected by the white people regardless of how neat it may look or the fact that it is a necessity but when it's the other way round it is viewed as edgy, cool and fun. just take a look at the article of the girl who was reject at her job because she has braids and its against their policy. How is that fair? when thats how she maintains her hair. Its like me turning someone down for having silky straight hair. Also Kylie Jenner is someone who mostly has black friends and clearly likes or enjoys black culture but you never see them speak up when there are real issues concerning black culture. They feel it's not their concern because they aren't black but then it's ok to do all those other things. Being pro black does not mean anti white. You may not fully understand our struggles but you can at least empathise or raise awareness to them. But to ignore it and think that's acceptable is just annoying as hell.
I. Ghetto -- The Jews of Italy, Morocco, etc. called, they're mad that you appropriated their culture.
II. Pop Culture absorbs everything at some point. It uses it while it can, spits it out, and moves on to the next one. Yes, it sucks. We're moving towards one homogeneous mass. Regional differences are disappearing. The mom and pop shops of the past have been replaced by Starbucks and Home Depot. Dear Black Culture, you've been assimilated. Congratulations, you made it. You're just like everyone else now.
III. We have to braid our hair? I'm calling BS on that. My daughter is almost 16. I've known friends of hers since they were babies that have had braided hair for maybe 6 months total in that time. Their hair is plenty long and healthy.
IV. Stop worrying so much about pop culture. Kendall Jenner is not the bellwether of white philosophy. Some white VP of Finance with cornrows walks into a corporate board meeting and they aren't going to think its cool and edgy.
