It’d be quite a thing if some people crashed a plantation wedding as a group of newly arrived slaves.

I think if you want a plantation wedding, you should really commit, you know? You should have the house darkies and field darkies working away; the sounds of screaming people being whipped; children being torn from the arms of their mothers that are being sold to another home miles away; the smells of open toilets and…

the kind that doesn’t wash their legs

Seriously! I mean, both my Nanas and my great-grandmother would wrap their hair up at night (a habit they’ve passed down to me: my hair is super short and prone to bedhead). The Italian/Portugese heavy town I am from had a plethora of women who would wear scarves outside to keep the wind from messing with their hair!…

What's this about washing legs?!? Seriously, after reading that article I have been making sure I actually do that.

PACK OF TWO $48

The craziest shit: white women have *long* known about satin bonnets in some form or another. I mean, have no black friends I get (cause systemic racism sheltering white people since forever...but also some personal biases) but to not have grandmas or great-grandmas who still get their hair set? Really? I mean...…

I guess she’s never seen any similar product on the shelf in the local beauty supply store (eye roll)

They are dead ass simple to make ,my hair is long enough that I wear a homemade one or else my hair splits into a snarled mass of nasty. 3 bucks in fabric and 10 minutes sewing.  What window licking fool would spend 98 bucks?

“...imagine our cloth as a delivery system for steam. The magic is in the cushy warmth.”

“Any not-black woman trying to convince the world that she invented silk bonnets needs to have all of the hair on their body ingrown.”

Speaking from the white angle of the users here:

This woman is an idiot and that’s about the whole of it.

Fuck, I am a big dumbassed Irish dude who was born in the south and even I know about bonnets and mostly because you don’t touch the fucking bonnet lest you enjoy a foot up your ass or a shoe across your head.

Momma…

somebody is flat out LYING ..that somebody would be Becky. Im not talking about her saying she invented silk bonnets, I talking about her saying it and inventing a whole story around her concept. I know for a fact when people come up with products they see what else is on the market. You cannot tell this woman…

Where the fuck does she live, that she has NEVER seen a black woman (or a photo of a black woman, or a tv show featuring black women) in her headwrap? Now granted I live in NYC where everyone walks around looking however the hell they want, regardless of whether their mama would approve, so maybe I’ve seen more…

If they are wasting an equal amount of fabric to what they're using then they are doing something wrong. 

“Columbusing” Is literally the only word needed to describe this situation. It, as in anything, is only real/valid when a white person does it or stakes claim to it.

Seriously. I introduced my non-black friends to those and they were like ‘Where has this been? I just rub the soap on my body’ and I was like ‘Ew’

Anyone paying $100 for a silk bonnet deserves to get finessed.

Black women were legally required to cover their hair centuries ago..
