@rebel_whimsy @sorospaidbussy @auntimichael @ROMANFRIDAYS@f0lake This is the more likely scenario however, some "folk" just want to start sh*t and discriminate against others while stating they, themselves are tired of being discriminated against π
@sorospaidbussy @auntimichael @rebel_whimsy@ROMANFRIDAYS@f0lake The crown act?
A strategic marketing partnership with a company (Dove) who historically didn't make products for "folks" until it became marketable? Sure, whatever you say. Why didn't(Holly) pair up with Carol's daughter to drive the crown act? Nevermind, I'll sit in the corner.
@Zoriya14 @auntimichael @rebel_whimsy@ROMANFRIDAYS@f0lake 3. Willingly and intelligently destroying your own hair type. Does that not make sense to you or you good with hypocrisy?
@Zoriya14 @auntimichael @rebel_whimsy@ROMANFRIDAYS@f0lake 2. Straighten your hair? Again, I am not the one saying that you can't straighten your hair. I just made the statement of if your energy is going to be directed at another demographic for wearing a "protective hairstyle" then you probably shouldn't be doing it while knowingly
@Zoriya14 @auntimichael @rebel_whimsy@ROMANFRIDAYS@f0lake Historically "folks" that are gatekeeping protective hairstyles are pro protective hairstyles because the purpose of the hairstyle is to keep their ends away from damage, humidity, heat etc... Now you're telling me that because you want to fit into the 20th century it's okay to
@certified_n3gro @auntimichael @rebel_whimsy@ROMANFRIDAYS@f0lake 3. One day you'll realize that it was never your hair that spoke volumes, it was your mouth that "locked it all in" I'm no anomaly either, I know plenty of black professionals that have been wearing the aforementioned hairstyles and succeeding in Corporate America.
@certified_n3gro @auntimichael @rebel_whimsy@ROMANFRIDAYS@f0lake 2. Historically I have worn the following hairstyles while being in upper management and lower positions with fortune 500 companies: cornrows, twist, dreads and a "natural" and yet every position I've ever interviewed for, I've been offered the job at the same salary or higher
@certified_n3gro @auntimichael @rebel_whimsy@ROMANFRIDAYS@f0lake I find it entertaining that you, sir are calling me Goofy, all the while your username is "negroes over hoes" @ "certified negro" yet you're trolling about other demographics discriminating against you.
@sorospaidbussy @auntimichael @rebel_whimsy@ROMANFRIDAYS@f0lake 7. Shed light on what was done historically, sure not a problem. Come up with solutions that are equitable for humanity as a whole, I'm all for it. Condemning others for wanting to express themselves through their personal grooming, in a way that they see fit...hard pass for me.
@sorospaidbussy @auntimichael @rebel_whimsy@ROMANFRIDAYS@f0lake 1. I like how you felt the need to explain this to me, as if I'm not a black male, as if I'm not aware of the discrimination from the DoD "unkempt hairstyles" that up until (late) 2015 were not acceptable and even still, with the new directive(s), allowing for protective hair
@sorospaidbussy @auntimichael @rebel_whimsy@ROMANFRIDAYS@f0lake 6. Lastly, for the life of me, I cannot understand why as a group of "folks" who state they have been discriminated against for eons, knows how that feels and the ramifications of such treatment, perpetuate and reverse the discrimination to others outside of their demographic.
@sorospaidbussy @auntimichael @rebel_whimsy@ROMANFRIDAYS@f0lake 5. Else. So, by that logic (timeline) is where my secondary comment spawned from: keep that same energy up with those "folks" who are acting as gatekeepers of hairstyles that they, themselves go away from (modern day). Again, this isn't everyone and I never stated that, either.
@sorospaidbussy @auntimichael @rebel_whimsy@ROMANFRIDAYS@f0lake 4. Styles. Greek and Europeans have been braiding their hair for over 1100 years and yet, somehow, people believe that because African tribes used it (first) to delineate between other tribes, ages, and cultural status some 3500 years ago, it's only common to "folks" and no one
@sorospaidbussy @auntimichael @rebel_whimsy@ROMANFRIDAYS@f0lake 3. Phrase "protective hair" as a gateway keeping mechanism for hair styles that "folks" claim are exclusive to them (only) based upon their texture of hair and or their race and it's "protected" in a sense by not allowing others that are outside of this demographic to wear those
@sorospaidbussy @auntimichael @rebel_whimsy@ROMANFRIDAYS@f0lake 2. Styles, those in uniform, who opt to wear the newly adopted styles are under the microscope and the regulations heavily enforced upon\inspected versus their other peer group(s). However, this is not what it is about for a great deal of "folks." A lot of folks are using the
@staralixstar42 Isn't it funny that the same people who claim they believe in "it takes a village" now shaking their heads and throwing shade at the mention of...
Go ahead, justify it the way you need to so it fits your narrative.
@MalachiHolder8 Thank you for showing us that you know nothing about clearances and classification(s), sir. You may go back to breathing out of your mouth now, sorry to have bothered.
