In the latest part of the outrage parade, a 16 year old Hunger Games star has declared the use of certain hair styles as racist. According to Amandla Stenberg, non-blacks wearing cornrows represent ‘cultural appropriation’ and slammed popular public figures for using the style in their fame.

Buzzfeed has a particularly bizarre article relating to the video. In it, it shows stills and gifs of Stenberg’s rant. In part, Stenberg declared that the rise of white rappers Macklemore and Iggy Azalea have been tied to their ‘appropriation’ of black culture. She states that their increased popularity has been in part influenced by large scale protests regarding the killings of Trayvon Martin and Eric Garner.
She finishes the video with what she sees as a poignant point: “What would America be like if it loved black people as much as it loves black culture?”

>>It’s all Bo Derek’s fault!
LOL! She’s the first person to come to mind when I think of cornrows.<<
They don’t make women like that any more. Now they all have tattoos, piercings and an attitude. Blech.
Sounds like Amandla Stenberg’s duct-tape gag worked loose, again...
Got that right...you SOB! (humor...I just turned 64 a week ago)

House of the rising sun came from Britain with immigrants and made its way to New Orleans where it was taken up by the blacks before The Animals (British) recorded it. It was number on the music charts the day I was born and its still an awesome song.

That’s cuz you lead a sheltered life :o)
Only whitey be wearin’ clothes.
Blame Buckwheat!
All those fake blonds must really be racist again Swedes.
You are NOT going to believe this, but I found out that fact just two days ago after hearing that song on American Idol. My girlfriend makes me watch it. lol. Why i did hte research I don’t even remember. I just confirmed with my girlfriend that I told her it came from Brittan. Goose bumps up the spine!!
Back in 1975, a black co worker came to work with his hair done in cornrows. It looked kind of nice, his wife had worked all the evening before on them.
The other blacks at the plant razzed him so bad he went home and combed them out.
It always seemed funny to me (this goes back decades) that one could walk down the aisles of a drug or grocery store, and see a whole aisle devoted to hair-straightening or skin-bleaching stuff, for the Black folks; and go down other aisles full of sun-tanning stuff and perms for the White folks.
(I happened to have a conversation with a mixed-race lady who identifies as “Black” today; she was showing us a picture of a distant cousin who looks like a young Tuesday Weld. I told her that I have distant cousins who are half-Black, and it’s fun to see their pictures: all the girls look just like me and the other females in our closer family, with some features that clearly show the African genes. I told her that looking at their pictures, I saw how I would appear if I had some Black genes. Her response was: “Do they have good hair?” I think the response was due to her own curiosity as to how things ‘fall out’.)
It’s time that we give up this “race” crap, and realize that we are all the same species.
Jeez....

Hope it was a happy birthday; I turn 61 next month.
These brainwashed kids are armed with definitions created in university race studies programs. This academic hogwash is created to keep the races separate and tensions high, which provides the race baiters a power base.
She probably suffers from some sort of Racist OCD. Getting to be quite common among those growing up in the age of Obola.
This is the second known recording, which is sung by the teenage daughter of a KY coal miner.
