(34,648 posts)Especially when we know she don't talk like that in RL. I see her on interviews nd she do not sound black. Then on her videos she try to be the blackest person there.
Reminds of of when Miley Cyrus tried to dance like a black woman at the awards show. Number one, she did a bad job, number two, wrong body type for the performance, number three pointing at black womens butts, smacking them, laughing, and trying to cop cat.
Iggy... She OK. She's just hella phony.
I crack up on her like I crack up on Lil Wayne wearing super tight skater pants and skateboarding badly.
Sometimes cultural appropriation works. Not always. And black people living here do not appropriate culture. We were born in a White majority nation and cannot succed unless we assimilate. Our former cultures were stolen and violently supressed. So, a black american woman wearing a long ass wig is just a sign of assimilation, not cultural appropriation.
Also , many black women have very long hair themselves. I usually cut mind just below my shoulder blades. My sister grows her poor hair until it reaches her butt, then cuts a bit, and it's baaack a few months later. Do not assume long hair is a wig. Mine never is. I only say that because you posted a picture of a black woman with long colored hair as possible cultural appropriation. It's not. That woman may have long hair, but likes wigs for the ease of use , and to protect her own hair. When I was a dancer, I sometimes wore wigs. My hair is super curley. I wanted it straight with out using flatirons.
Unless you know about black hair, don't speak on it. There is a history there you need to learn before you get to jive talking. Watch 'Good Hair'.
