A lot of female idols do still perform & do other schedules while on their period. Because dancing is a form of exercise & they diet often, typically they have very few complications w their periods but if they do, there’s their members & staff to help them. A lot them usually +

The thing is, yeah sure anyone can wear a durag or bonnet to retain moisture or help with frizzy hair BUT idols wearing them in lives or during performances is cultural appropriation because they’re using it to mimic an “aesthetic” that’s actually is OUR culture

Since people are asking what he did, to sum it up, he was excusing his white friends racist behavior and basically told AAs we were being too sensitive. So he went live and asked people to cancel him. And that’s what we did.

So for Yeosang’s birthday, I wanted to do something very special and I came up with the idea of getting him a star! Yeosang & ATEEZ mean the world to me and as much as they make us feel special, I wanted to return the same energy!

And example from the tweet before this one: the numbers of plaits/patterns worn indicated how many roads people needed to walk or where to meet someone to escape.

Among Black people, braids are a go-to style. This hairstyle was designed for “kinker” hair as way of protective styling, NOT just for fashion. It protects our hair from heat, humidity, and othe damaging.

Braiding is very common hairstyle especially within Black culture, and when I say Black this includes African culture as well. It can be dated back to 3500 BC. From cornrows to Dutch braids. Braids have been a sign of societal status, ethnicity, religion, and more.

In majority of the African tribes the way your hair was braided was a way to identify the tribe they were in. Braid patterns could identify their tribe, age, marital status, wealth, power, and even their religion.

Now since everyone is so confused on cornrows. Cornrows are any section of hair that is braided usually flat to the scalp and ARRANGED in rows. The name originated in the Caribbean because they were reminded of cornfields.

It wasn’t until the 1900s that braiding became popular worldwide. People have credited Africa for cornrows, credits Egypt for box braids, credits Greece for the halo braid, credits Native Americans for pigtails and credits Europeans for the crown braid.

As we take pride in our hair, certain braiding styles have more cultural significance than others, all were asking is that non-black people respect our culture and even if you feel like you’re appreciating our culture with wearing these hairstyles +

It’s impossible to understand the history of braids without understanding the history and impact of African slavery on women especially!

And even if you still want to appreciate our culture do it in a respectful way, you can listen to our music, you can find inspiration from our fashion, you can enjoy our food, hell you can use SOME (empahsis on some) of our slang +

Braids are considered much more than just a style but a craft form of art. It started in Africa w/ the Himba people (Namibia). They braided their hair for centuries.

Along with still remaining connected to culture, braids became a way Black people would send secret messages to other slaves underneath their masters noses. Using them as maps to freedom.

Through the hardships of slavery Black women had to find ways to still remain connected to their culture as they were forcefully taken from their homeland, stripped of their identity and separated from their families.

Today, cornrows are seen as “urban” and often worn by non-black individuals for fashion. Straight hair is genetic and as far as I know there isn’t any specific cultural tie to it.

But do all that without discrediting black people and trying to further strip us of our identities like some continue to do.

China gets credited for staircase braids, the Caribbean gets credited for modern cornrows (dated back to the 1970s).

She did say something wrong because that officer was abusing his authority to racially profile a African American male. I’m not sure if you guys have seen the original video but the officer wanted to arrest because he was eating. A simple human task....
