I get it that some ppl may not find her antics offensive.

However, nothing is more irritating then when ppl suggest you be quiet or blind to the obvious. If Kim wanna cosplay in black girl aesthetics, fine. If people want to point it out and have conversations about it, fine. Sometimes people want to vent and bring social awareness, and nothing is wrong with that.

There is a history and pattern. It's not a one off. She know how woke sistas feel and it hasn't changed her. Black men straight and gay have coddled her along the way.

once we start dismissing one another  and telling each other to STFU that's when things get very nasty...very quickly.

Kalmyks are tribal Mongolic people who settled in Russia. It's estimated that only 300,000 Kalmyk descendants exist worldwide - with only 3,000 in America.

Yeah I'm really finding Funky Danigga more and more annoying lately.

He has some internalized anti-blackness for sure. What he said about OG basically revealed that to me.
I forgot about his OG hot takes. Super nasty 🤢 and i wish she never would have went back to the Basketball wives for another season of that shit cuz they manipulated her into some mess and made her look exactly the way they wanted to from the start

now that is def a mess. they know damn well.

or when the gorls bring up other groups of africans as representations of the african-american phenotype as if our ancestors weren't pulled from west africa.

i think Nigerians look the most like African-Americans. :blush: :wub:
i see people from my neighborhood, family, church, all up in this picture. sfsfsfsfs

If a regular regular White girl walked up in a convenient store and reaches into the door to grab her a Spritebut she has braids, we are offended and she's appropriating? I dont know guys it gotta be room for levels of this. Are we mad at Kim because she's rich and beautiful and influential and on a level high enough that outsiders admire her while she's in her braids? Cuz if Sarah pulled up next to me and she has braids I'm like.... Ok.... She likes braids and Black culture. And that's ok to me :uhh:
it's not about everyone in the community having to be offended ... and if they're not offended somethings wrong with them

It's totally ok to not be outraged

But just be reasonable to understand why others find it offensive to any degree. That's all. It's not super hard
!!!! im certainly not outraged. I think anyone outside of Black Women look pretty stupid but it doesn't anger me. But im protective over Black women and i can see why many of them don't use all the way around. Funky is ignorant as shit about a lot of things, not necessarily just this topic.

Kim and her family are specifically the ones being criticized. Like Claudia said it's like being used as a tool for their success on purpose, and it's more than just her braids. The fake body, the botox lips etc.
Even more insulting for many when they act oblivious to this fact and that's really what Claudia was speaking to. Kim be LYING  :kii: "North said"!

All funky had to say is "EYE don't see an issue with it personally. Here's why."

which he would totally be entitled to.

but as usual he took an opportunity to roll his neck at black women trying to tell them how to feel and what should and shouldn't matter to THEM.

He's NOT entitled to that.
"Give white women their hair back" was said twice. Fucking gross  :x no Black woman in her right mind has ever wanted that.  If they're rocking inches from anywhere in the world, it likely came from another country but certainly not anything to do with some white shit

Brazil, India, Peru, etc.

:sup:

Question. So in the way that 4 White people in Armenia used to get their hair braided, and 4 Black people in Australia have naturally blonde hair........ is (insert female singer with blonde hair here) wearing it to appeal to a broader/different audience the same as Kim wearing braids to appeal to a certain audience?
I dunno
Beyoncé with blonde hair seems more like a brand/artistic/marketing thing to me more than an attempt to appeal to white people it's kinda synonymous with her.
It sets her apart from other black female singers and it's instantly recognisable.
You think black woman with blonde hair? Beyoncé.
That dyke cut or red curly hair? Rihanna
Swoop over the eye? Aaliyah
Middle part, jet black weave? Naomi
Braids? Brandy
Yeeees

Whites don't have culture outside of hotdogs and the fourth of July

yeah most black women aren't on the hunt for blond bundles.

not to say its "better" to be in search of other types of bundles but yeah.

like jayden said fas stands out with it and that's a big reason why.
