Interior Designer Reacts to Lil Baby AD House Tour (Wait.. this is ACTUALLY Nice?!) 

Thank you for letting them know. Honestly I know that our hair issues will not be intuitive to other non-POC (or to be more accurate, people with 1A - 3A (ish) hairtypes; but damn. Sometimes a bit of blunt direction is needed otherwise you end up in not-great situations. E.g. at my high school a loooong time ago we had to have externally provided swimming lessons every fortnight. I couldn't/didn't want to participate in most as pretty much the only black girl, and with 4C hair to boot. This was back when swimming caps didn't come in anything but a "standard size" (ie those skull crushers that don't fit me and pulls on my skin). My teachers couldn't understand why I was being "difficult" because I didn't want to damage my hair, braids or no. And the stuff the black girls and boys have to put up with in any industry where glam is an expected part of the job! Modelling, film & TV etc ... the heartbreaking stories you hear from black people about how stylists either outright refused to do their hair or makeup, or did it badly so it left significant damage, or made them feel like a worthless POS by not having the right tools or products. I'm so glad we've moved on a lot from those days, but there's still a way to go. I think Fenty Beauty premiere launch era really gave most white people a f**king shock at how much every day products were not accommodating, even outright hostile to us.

Something out of the ordinary! I definitely appreciate the detail :)

Come on now, did you miss the video of him throwing DaniLeigh out when she was nursing his newborn?? The man is a walking red flag and that video was set up by his PR team.

right? he’s keeping their playground. so awesome.

This. No black person wants a rain shower.

As a designer why build a house “generic” because you’re thinking about when you selling? I tell my clients do what you like then when you’re ready to sell we can do some modifications.

People who can afford this kind of house can afford to remodel, it's not an issue. And noone buys a property that luxurious with resale value in mind and to keep it generic. They buy it for themselves and want it to fit their taste.

You don’t necessarily have to be rich to have “just for show” areas in your house. I have aunts who have just for show family rooms and you’re not allowed to sit in there for the sake of the furniture. I think it all comes down to you wanting to feel like you’re in a home vs a museum and that’s understandable.

African Americans are not allergic to the term "master". Every home has a literal master -- the owner and chief resident. The word "master" also connotes mastery, hence why the two words share the same etymology. Changing the term "master" to "primary" is uniquely progressive, and is analogous to other progressive hits such as changing "Before Christ" to "Before the Common Era" and changing "woman" to "person designated female at birth" or "birthing person".

@@kangamagic1206 Well you might not be but you're more the exception that the rule. And the word "master" as in master bedroom is linked to the master of the house (originally the slave owner), not to mastering a skill or what not. That meaning is completely unrelated. FYI, referring to a Christian calendar as "common era" as if it was a universal thing is NOT progressive.

@@lsamoa Of course the word "master" is linked to the master of the house -- the master owns the house. What I am saying is that the word "master" is not some sort of racist term whose prime function was to indicate a difference between master and slave. The master of the house is the owner of the property and the leader of the house -- it denotes ownership and power over children, guests, other family, and servants/slaves. The word "master" is more rich than merely highlighting a dichotomy between slave owner and slave. The change to CE and BCE was just gaslighting by people who dislike that we begin dating from the birth of Christ. History is history -- the year 1 AD is associated with the first year of Christ. No one deems the year 1 to start some new "common era" as opposed to what came before it (unless by "common" we mean that we all commonly lived after the birth of Christ). People in 50 BC and 50 AD had more in common than do people in 50 AD and 2024 AD. Changing names to diminish tradition is, by definition, Progressive.

​@@kangamagic1206 You don't need to tell us that words can have several meanings, we've all used a dictionnary before lol. Still, in this specific instance, that's exactly what this word means. And sorry but I'm not sure you understand the words "progressive", "common", "history" or "gaslighting" either.

@@lsamoa You're the one defending the thesis that "master bedroom" is inherently racist. To do so honestly, you need to be unaware that the word has multiple meanings and a richer etymological history. You're also the one claiming the thesis that the "Common Era" is a good term, although you have yet to defend it. So please enlighten us: why is 0 AD a good place to start "the Common Era"? I don't think I'm the ignorant one in this discourse -- it appears that you are.

Yes he is, he's mentioned living in Vancouver many times

I am! Haha abooot 🤣 from Toronto

He didn’t bash him, I think he was impressed with his taste. Most young men, especially straight men, don’t exude great taste!

Well good. So when you insist on using that term people will know exactly what kind of person they're dealing with. You're saving them time, that's always a good thing.
