Cosplay... yeah that's an apt description.

I agree with you completely. No group "owns" a particular look but respect people's cultures if you're going to wear that look or blend elements of their culture with your own.

I saw a Navajo dancer blend Korean anime into his dance regalia. It was respectfully done and beautiful.

I can understand white women in a biracial relationship wanting to blend in by wearing black styles, especially if she lives in a black community. Of course, the opposite also applies.

But show some fucking respect for the community that took you in. Show some respect for your spouse too. Don't let your troll behavior be a black mark on him/her within their community and family either. Right? What are you doing acting like that? What does it serve?

This was a really good article. Well written. Excellent points.

The past several years I've been seeing and working with more and more black women wearing natural hair. It's good to see and I can tell an elevation in confidence from many of the women. The shame and sorrow is that a law had to be passed to make it happen.
