I need to recover from an overwhelming amount of white privilege. You sound like a judgemental dick.

Yeah but lets remember: Those people were incredibly fucking jealous of you. JEALOUS. This is not a dismissal of your pain and disgust; just a illumination of a facet of it.

It's insane. I actually have way less hope that we are moving towards a less racist country now that white people are somehow convinced that racism toward POC is over AND that they are victims of racism.

1. Thank you for this awesome article Kara.

How to create trends:

Seconded. My (blonde. pale) sister went to Mexico as a teenager and got a head full of cornrows. She was quickly nicknamed "Tequila Barbie" by the locals. In every photo of her with cornrows, she's got a look on her face that read, "Yeah, so, um, won't be doing this again."

Jesus H Christ. ....And black women are still told cornrows, dreads and any other hairstyle that isn't relaxed/weaved to within an inch of its life are "unprofessional/messy/not appropriate for the work place". I. Just. Can't with this Columbus shit.

I'm happy that we live in a world where people can dress and do their hair the way they chose. But my problem is that for so long us black women where made fun of for all these "new" styles. I remember me and my sisters and friends being made fun of by our white classmates for having fake hair, being made fun of by…

They must be trolling us because I simply do not want to believe that these people are as utterly stupid as they are making themselves look.

I added a new title Red, keep up! Lol. She shall henceforth be known as She Who Stays Woke, Kara Brown, Our Lady Of Killing It, Teller of Truths and Dispeller of Lies.

Things don't exist until white people see it and these kinds of white people simply don't see black people. My rage, it is impotent. Excuse me, I need to recover from this month.

I wish there was a gif for this, but I have yet to find it. Morgan Murphy saying something to the effect of, "a white guy with cornrows is just looking at you right in the eye saying, 'I don't know the difference between right and wrong'."

Let us never forget-

Okay, as a white girl, let's get one thing straight: the only white people that wear cornrows and think they're cool are the ones that went to Jamaica for a week (but not, like, real Jamaica; Sandals Jamaica), and insist everyone needs to "chillax," and won't stop calling people "mon," for a month straight.

Friends, readers, ladyfolk, I believe we are being trolled.

"But Kara, there's nothing wrong with imitating styles from other cultures! That's how human beings progress in the world!!!1"- white female Jezebel commentator who completely misses the point.

It's like the LA Times EIC saw the Shonda Rhimes story and said "Fuck that. We can be just as tone deaf and racist as you East Coast bastards can." and then went to the bathroom and sent the contents down to the printing press.

Holy shit if you had told me this was an Onion article, I would have believed it 100%.

Pfft. Every white girl I knew got cornrows in high school.
