Not my quote and not sure where I heard it but "if you want to stop racism stop talking about it".

It's only with regard to racism that people are silly enough to make that statement.


How about, "If you want to stop embezzlement, stop talking about it?"


Or "If you want to stop rape, stop talking about it?"


"If you want to stop bullying, stop talking about it."


"If you want to stop pedophilia, stop talking about it."


That's simply a silly statement.

As the other poster's stated, black women are going back in large numbers to our natural, curly, kinky hair.

Also, the girls in the OP were not black. You guys really are fixated on black people lol. You think we are the only minority in the world who makes complaints about you huh..

I've never worn a weave and haven't had a relaxer since 1996.

Well, according to the social justice warriors, it's called 'intersectionality'.

in·ter·sec·tion·al·i·ty

/ˌin(t)ərsekSHəˈnalədē/
noun
The interconnected nature of social categorizations such as race, class, and gender as they apply to a given
individual or group, regarded as creating overlapping and interdependent systems of discrimination or
disadvantage.

They use it to say that one groups struggle against 'oppression' is another group's struggle against 'oppression'. So when Latinos complain about cultural appropriation and a blacks complain about cultural appropriation, it's all the same to them. So it's all the same to me. And when I say it's all the same to me, I mean it's all nonsense.

So to you, anyone who isn't black who complains about "cultural appropriation" are doing it because of black people....?

Very odd comment.

Not all black people or Latinos adhere to the concept of inter-sectionality oppression.

You must not be black lol. It is very rare to find a black person who is truly dedicated to inter-sectionality. Most black people in my own experience are very aware that black people have unique issue within our community and though we are open to helping other ethnic groups (and not all of us are) we also know that our issues are not the issues of other people and that their issues are not always ours.

FWIW, I do know some young people involved in a group that follows ideas regarding inter-sectional issues of particular groups that are gender or ethic based, however those young people also have their own groups that focus on specific community issues of a particular gender or ethnicity and they only support others when there is a call to do so.

Due to that, you trying to blame black people for these Latino student's remarks is silly. Black students did not make the complaint. The Latino students did. Many black Latinos don't even claim to be black lol. Why should black Americans be blamed for the stuff they say that has nothing to do with us.

This is stuff invented for sociology PhD dissertations. No relationship to the real world.

I know you're into African-American history.


Offhand, I can't recall that hoop earrings were worn by African-American women back when I was a kid. I seem to remember hoop earrings being considered "hootchi jewelry" back in my youth.


Of course, I'm aware of Arabian and South Asian connections of hoop earrings with slavery, but African-American slaves did not, AFAIK, wear hoop earrings.


Which even farther distances black women from this particular issue.

I wonder how many would consider their ancestors to be gypsies, pirates or fortune tellers.


Back in the days of sailing ships and pirates a man would wear an earring if he had survived a shipwreck, typically a gold hoop, and that is where we get the classic pirate image from.


Every fashionable woman owns at least one pair of hoop earrings.......I happen to own many.


As a white woman, I am not giving up something I have worn over half my life. Seems many of these haters are just out for 15 mins of fame! Why isn't Madonna or Cher shutting her down they both wore them a lot in the 70's and 80's.
So much paying attention to what others are doing, little time to recognize their own arrogance and hate.

I for one think that (fairly) large hoop earrings are a wonderful gift from black women to the world in general, especially men like me who adore women who wear them. Like Mrs. Cyrano. Especially when that's all she wears. Seriously, I think they're sexy as hell.
