As a biracial woman, I completely sympathize with this young woman. I know what it feels like to not fit in no matter where you go. You're either not enough or too much. My advice is, create your own world. Culture goes beyond race. Find someone who shares a similar culture in family, friends, hobbies, and values. I now see that being biracial is a blessing. I am able to see the world through not just one lense, but two. That makes us wise. Use that to your advantage to understand the world objectively.
It never ceases to amaze me how priorities are so messed up with some people. All that negative energy spent on someone who wants to braid their hair. Yet nothing said about the gals walking around with long straight blond weaves and wigs. She and her mom should have braided their hair and posted another video in response.
I'm 100% (well maybe 98% idk 😅) white and loved getting my hair corn rowed. I even wore braids while working at Starbucks (mind you this was about 10+ yrs ago) and most white customers looked at me crazy 😂 but I loved it because I loved being ME! Now, I have biracial boys whom are a lighter skin tone (if it matters but it does sometimes) and during covid I taught myself how to corn row/braid my boys hair. Yes they get picked on here and there (mainly because their hairs so long people call them a girl) but they love it! We're growing as humans. Be yourself and learn not to let others have power over you! 💜🙌
I don't understand why people hate based on skin color... I mean cats have so many different sizes, fur lengths, and fur colors but they are still cats, right? Same with humans. We have so many different sizes, hair lengths, and colors but we are all still human. So what is the problem?
I’m Indian and when people participate in my culture I LOVE it bc it means acceptance. Not just tolerance but acceptance and enthusiasm. It’s a lot harder to dislike someone you share a lot in common with so i think we’re going in the wrong direction to discourage people from sharing though I do think it is important to acknowledge where it comes from
Yes black women can wear weaves with Indian hair. White woman can wear braids .these are hair styles. Not black faced skits like they did in the old days. Gimme a break. Can't we all just wear what we want and keep it moving.
I'm a white woman with wavy curly hair and one of the major deciding factors against getting braids to protect my hair was because I didn't want to offend people with tighter curls and darker skin tones. Something I've seen a lot since I started caring for my hair with a wavy curly routine is the hostility towards white people and people perceived to be white from some people especially online. I'd love to see the conversation switch to more education, tell me why it offends you to see someone who's not black wearing braids, listen when I explain to bring out my curls I need a bit more product and scrunching, lets talk about the history of these things and compliment each other on how awesome our hair looks etc. I do credit the black community with teaching us the best ways to get hydrated curly hair and keeping bonnets as an everyday item. But hair protection is done all over the world by different cultures in pretty similar ways. Bonnets used to be worn as hats by upper-class women in Britain, it's the reason why Brits and Aussies call the hood of a car a bonnet. At the time cars became more popular bonnets were worn on the head to cover hair, keep in warmth and be "ladylike" just as a bonnet on a car protects and covers the engine.
That ‘friend’ should be ashamed. What a crap thing to do. Go talk to your friend if you don’t like what they are doing rather than making a freaking tiktok. I hope this poor girl finds better friends who support her and don’t parry these dumb talking points
Cultural appropriation. Is that like when black people straighten their hair, when Asians wear western style modern clothing, when first peoples wear western style cloths and drive cars. I thing people make this stuff up just to pretend to be offended. Wearing a kimono is because it is beautiful, it has nothing to do with cultural appreciation. If you want to try and separate everyone by their cloths and looks good luck. Wearing someone else's traditional clothing is a sign of respect. Saying you are black when you are really whit is cultural appropriation. It is more like the perpetual offended.
Braids are not the property of any one group of people. Fashion cannot be copyrighted. These people are using excuses like this to reveal their inner r-ist.
They actually are. Braids are called "Dutch Braids" which means the Vikings used to have them so it's a white (European) thing. Can other races have braids? Sure but they can't say it's part of THEIR culture when it's actually not.
Unfortunately, there are people who ARE actually trying to copyright culture. For example, the Navajo nation actually trademarked the word "Navajo" and tried to sue a company called 'Urban Outfiters' for making underwear with navajo symbols on it. The Lego company was nearly sued by the Maori of New Zealand for naming Bionicle characters Maori words. The Mapuche tried to sue microsoft for making windows available in the mapuche language. Claiming microsoft "needed permission" to use their language. Tasmanian aboriginals told Wikipedia to take down an article on their language (which microsoft luckily refused). The greek government trademarked the Macedonian star to prevent (North) Macedonia from using it on their flag. Greece claimed that since macedonia spoke Bulgarian and wasn't greek, that they shouldn't have the symbol on their flag (despite the fact that they are a part of historical Macedonia and WERE greek speaking during the times of the Romans and Byzantines pre slavic migrations). I even heard (correct me if I'm wrong) that the UN wants to make it a crime for non-idigenous people to practice traditional native dances, medicine, art, etc. (Indigenous IP Laws) Look these up if you don't believe me. Seriously, I strongly believe that this is an example of IP going too far, and aspects of ALL cultures should be protected by the public domain.
It's not the point , I could sai Masai, but I don't understand the ignorance of some people that think that braids it's only an African thing, I mean what about eastern Europe, and some many actual and old culture, from Egypt wigs, vikings braids, the cholas in Bolivia, German hairdo with braids, so many cultures of different skin types had and are using different types of braids. I don't understand the stupidity of this generation, they really are taught to think inside their little boxes, instead of outside, they think they are more open minded, more progressive when actually they are doing quite the opposite. Please how many people in the world have 100 % dna of one culture, they talk about Africa as it was a country and not a big whole continent with so many and diverse people and cultures. Better start reading some books
nope they diddnt every culture has their own braids but african braids or braiding styles are vastly diffrent to viking or asian braids. What makes african braids diffrent is how intricate and complex they are. like cornrows were created to put food in them to hide the food from slave owners and etc. braids are seen as a status symbol and something to recognise tribes by. so every tribe has there own braiding style. And i think thats important to note again braiding hair has exsisted everywhere but some cultures took it to the next level and it had a stronger signiificance in some and that braids dont equal braids there are difffrences (And no i dont agree with attacking people for wearing hairstyles from certain cultures aslong as you are being respectful about it)
@@Leo-nh9ui intricate braids were very much a part of the ancient world - Romans and Greeks had cornrows and weaves.. Look up statues and paintings you can see them there..Romans used to sew their braids to their heads and often used hair extensions made of horse and human hair. Vikings and Celtic tribes had intricate layered braids and complex hairstyles. Human beings have braided their hair forever.. it is something we all share.
