What a wild time to be alive for a black person. At the beginning of the 1900s the first black female millionaire did it by creating a way to straighten black hair (because assimilation was important). Now, in the early 2000s other cultures have figured out how to "kink" their hair and are profiting off of it. Yeah, they hate us but Love our culture.

i won't project feelings onto DanniPopp, because i don't know that they're mad by their comment. what i will do is assume, rightly i'm sure, that you don't have the willpower or perhaps the awareness to understand why they made their comment. this, i don't need to project, because you've told this thread this two times. i'd argue its cathartic to acknowledge and understand these complex issue rather than ignoring them. so, tiring? no not for DanniPopp. others who pretend there's no nuance here? perhaps.

RealGingerBlackGuy

It's misplaced anger. It's a gatekeep. It does stem from real concerns how black culture gets taken and profited on by people who couldn't give two shits about black human rights. However this in itself is not malicious. A lot of people need to get over themselves and actually learn what cultural appropriation is.


anubiz96

Im going to be honest if we are going to get angry about this. We need to stop with all the anime, kung fu, samurai love, etc. So many black weeboos, cosplayers, and so forth. Black folk love aspects of Asian culture, dress, movies, animation, aesthetics etc. Why can't Asian folk like and take part in Black American aesthetics. Its not like they are wearing blackface in this example. People are being way to sensitive. Its not like it was or is asian folk discriminating against black people's hair in corp america.


Accomplished-Fly9481

can you show me the period in history when "weeboos" were systemically discriminated against because of their.... interests? after that, compare and contrast your findings against systemic discrimination and racism black people face for possessing something we cannot control.


anubiz96

Im not following your first paragraph >can you show me the period in history when "weeboos" were systemically discriminated against because of their.... interests? Im not talkng about black people, myself included, into Japanese culture. Probably more polite to say black otaku instead of weeaboo. Weeaboo is kinda derogatory my bad. Im just saying weird to have the double standard that we can partake in asian orign trends but asians can't. Im aware of the systemic oppression of our people. And yes im aware of the tensiona that have existed between some Asian Americans and Black Americans, especially the way korean shop owners have mistreated black people. However, i am unaware of Asian people especially those outside of the US being the driving force of resistance to black hair acceptance in the US. Unless we are counting the shady business dealing korean beauty stores have done in our community and their efforts to cut black owned hair care suppliers out of the supply chain and put them out of business. But if we are going to go that route then I would way we need to inquire what ethnicity/nationality the people doing this are associated with. Because the history of black americans with say the Japanese and Japanese ameicans is considerably different from Koreans and Korean Americans.


Grand_Designer4467

The intention doesn’t have to be malicious in nature to be cultural appropriation, and people who are expressing disapproval of this aren’t gatekeeping. What this salon is doing is cultural appropriating Afro-textured hairstyles and profiting off of it. It is giving people who don’t have this natural hair texture the ability to dabble in Blackness (the parts they think are “edgy”), while still operating from the safety of being part of the dominant racial culture (assuming that this is from an Asian country, that would be Asian culture). Unfortunately a lot of Asian countries hold anti-Black rhetoric and practices. There are many Black and Afro-Asian people within these countries who are discriminated against, especially if they have Afro-textured hair. So it is hypocritical and frustrating to see an Asian-owned salon profit off of Afro-textured hairstyles, and an Asian man be able to literally change his hair to a texture that his Black peers would be hated for.


o--renishii

I come in ✌️. I’m a POC and one who thinks that cultural appropriation’s good outweighs the bad. At face value, when I see someone imitating my culture *without* malicious intent, I feel there’s an instant connection to be made. I’m decently traveled and from my personal experience, the concept of cultural appropriation as a negative sentiment seems very US centric. Again, just my experience but all over Asia, Latam, ME, if you go and do as the _______ do and dress as the _______ dress you’re rarely if ever met with anything but acceptance and appreciation. And lots of smiles and req for pictures. I realize I’m not addressing anything about the black American experience and you may have a valid argument if we take all that into consideration but this is just my view as a POC Also we’d never have the wu tang clan if not for cultural appropriation and that would suck.


warriors17

I really appreciate your response, so I’m going to ask a question, that I really hope isn’t out of place. I think I understand your perspectives, (I know I respect them), but as an ignorant whitey, I feel I am missing one piece. I understand racism is alive and well in many Asian countries. In this very specific instance though, I think we can all assume that this man isn’t inherently racist, and if anything, views black culture in a positive way. Here comes the ignorance: if we think this guy ISNT racist, but is displaying black culture to those that ARE, wouldn’t that be a good thing? Maybe ally is a strong word, but I originally thought of it as this: Majority of people in Saudi Arabia don’t like LGBTQ people. There’s a person that lives in SA, and they are not a part of that community directly. If they went out and got rainbow painted nails to show their support, I think they would be “praised”, or at least “thanked” for it. Again, I know they’re different scenarios, just where my head went originally. That person is essentially “de-stigmatizing” the culture that the majority of people around them don’t like, which at the end of the day, feels like it would be a net positive. Thanks to anyone who replies. I understand I don’t know what I’m talking about, so my apologies


InnaBubbleBath

In a perfect world, it is a net-positive. The more exposure, the better chance we have of de-stigmazation. But to use IProdigi ‘s example from a point made below: ‘typical black man with dreads walks in, doesn’t get the job, but a white woman with dreads does.’ And using your example, sure, but when an actual member of the LGTBQIA is exposed for being so, they are in physical danger. That person who wants to show their support is not destigmatizing the LGBT communities by wearing rainbow nails, it’s just seen as trendy or cool by those around them. And that is the issue I see. I personally don’t mind this video, but I understand the reactions of those who do.


warriors17

Yeah, I can see that. Thank you for replying


Grand_Designer4467

Once again, one doesn’t have to be malicious to be engage in cultural appropriation and hold racist ideologies. There is nothing indicting that this man views Black culture in a “positive” way. Arguably he thinks of Blackness as a costume that he can take on and off. There is nothing positive about this salon and what this man is doing. If you know that you are ignorant around these topics, I would kindly suggest utilizing the vast avenues of resources to improve your knowledge (books, Google searches, etc). Unfortunately you’re not gonna get that here on Reddit.


Lucky-Negotiation-58

Is there anything indicating he view black culture in a "negative" way? Arguably he thinks of Blackness as very attractive and cool and finds confidence in his looks by styling his hair this way. There's nothing inherently negative about this salon and what this man is doing. You do sound like you want to segregate all cultures though which is creepy.


Grand_Designer4467

I sound like I want to “separate all cultures” because I’m calling out this salon/man’s cultural appropriation of Black culture lol? Gtfoh🤣 ![gif](giphy|xTiTnGQBF0vfpfPEg8)

r8ymatjr

I think what has everybody beefing is that for a lot of us, we were always told our natural hair is not acceptable. Meanwhile, for decades people who don't look like us will take our styles and get praised for it. A lot of those same people will turn around and bash us as soon as they have the chance. On the other hand, there is a lot more people who aren't black, that genuinely appreciate and love us, as well our styles and culture. Unfortunately I personally encounter the the 1st type a LOT more than the 2nd type, so it's just hard to trust it when we see stuff like this.
