Weaves? What is that?
White and Asian girls gotsta check their soft and silky hair privilege.
A few years ago, I volunteered to give music lessons at an orphanage. I bought and refurbished guitars and keyboards for the kids, and faithfully showed up each week at an appointed time for their lessons.
One time I showed up and the little girl was not available. So I went home.
The following week I showed up and she had a really elaborate weave, which, she informed me, took all day and was the reason she didn’t come to her lesson the previous week.
I am talking about an 8 year old girl.
weaves are cultural appropriation!
And cellphones and 3” nails.
When I first heard that I thought she said “we need our weed!” And thought “well that’s some entitlement! But hair extensions- this is ridiculous!
This happened numerous times on West Florissant in Ferguson. Never burnt down but looted all to hades.
And finga-nails. Don’t forget those.
