Even on MSNBC black women lighten their skin and wear wigs that imitate 'white people's hair'. Talk about appropriation - they've made an art form out of it.
It's triggering. Triggering to us to see black people appropriating our hair... our face... and our mannerisms. Where's the outrage?
What's the matter with the black community? There's even cosmetic sections at Walmart and Walgreens etc for 'lighten your skin' cosmetics - sitting beside 'straighten your hair' lotions... Does Walmart have a section of cosmetics on how to 'do' blackface? Black people's hair? NO. And there should NOT be a store section on how to imitate a 'white look'...
Let's deal with this before we even start to talk about reparations - for people who were NEVER slaves... one outrage at a time please.
Malcolm X (via Alex Haley) talked about black families favoring those of their kids who had lighter complexions (if they were of mixed ancestry like he was)--that would be pre-WWII times.
I was going through a government survey about race discrimination for my work with the ANG. One question that skewed all the other ones on what they mean by discrimination was if there was white supremacist problems at work.
No word on Islamic or black nationalists which are a far far bigger problem
Who the hell approves this kind of survey is what I want to know. There is a socialist camp in the deep state.
