Also, the fact that college students saying they can’t afford to get their hair done is a reflection of the breakdown in community. Because why ain’t nobody on the campus doing $30-40 hairstyles no more? Where is the boy doing $10 cuts in his dorm?
“Notice you took it off for the presentation?” Yes because it’s lowkey incredibly insulting to assume that most students wouldn’t just. . .do exactly that?
Black people: Wear chains
Them: The white man rich but dont wear chains. You broke.
Black people: Buys nice car
Them: the white man rich but drives a used honda. You broke.
Black people: Dresses nice.
Them: the nicer they dress the broker they are. You broke.
Black people: Wears sweatsuit
Them: Dress professionally or people will judge you. You broke.
Y'all ain't got no problem looking presentable in front of that white judge tho.
I bet if he said no bonnet/durags, yall would take that bullshit off. Y'all wouldn't be screaming antiblackness then.
It's more antiblack not to listen to BLACK AUTHORITY you idiots.
Are these not the same micro aggressions that we get mad at whitey for using ?? We HAD to dress like that to garner and maintain what little respect and dignity remains when you subject an entire race of people to second class citizenship.
Black people used to be one of the cleanest and sharp dressing people you can find… Now their descendants are fighting to wear durags/bonnets and pajamas on college campuses lmao
The problem with the bonnet/durag discourse is that in my experience, ppl who are adamantly against those items are almost always in a quest for white proximity, those of us comfortable in our Blackness don’t care about the next persons bonnet or durag 😂
If you want to go to class dressed like this I don't have a problem with it. Y'all act like these people don't know not to show up at job interviews looking like this. Y'all may have a few examples of people showing up to job interviews like this but y'all are acting like the entire culture doesn't know how to properly dress for professional occasions.
I always thought Black colleges were a safe space. Ain’t no safe spaces. gotta deal with the same lame, uppity ass niggas I was tryna get away from in the first place.
I don’t read. I didn’t go to college. None of my circle or relatives ever went to a HBCU. I learn about my culture by algorithms. I have limited contact w my community. I stan celebrities.
So here’s my take on what HBCUs should focus on!
Aye wrap this bonnet and Durag shit up man. No one can find a job, rent through the roof, gas high as fuck, and yall kids are dumb as hell. Bigger issues at hand!
