I don't know if I can still say "pot calling the kettle black", but Native Americans should be outraged, OUTRAGED I say! at Mr T's mohawk.

“Dreadlocks look stupid, except on Rastafarian”.
They look like cat puked hair balls. Nothing says nasty like not washing your hair for years!
I was in Oregon not too long ago, and the young girl behind the register had the cat hair ball hair do. You know, says I , “in Oregon they dont have sales tax. One would think you could afford some shampoo to wash that nasty hair!! “
My wife was elbowing me out of the store at this point.......

Racial AND Gender Appropriation!

In his case,when you have no gender, there is nothing to appropriate.

LOL!

The first time I saw a white girl with dreadlocks was in my dance class in Norman, OK, around 1998. She also had a variety of facial piercings and a small son named Sequoyah.

I know Bo Derek is very attractive, but there was nothing attractive about those beads in her hair.

I have no idea what her hair looks like.

Yeah, or wear clothes, or when they drive a car or play basketball/football/baseball.

Just about anything they do they got from Ol' Whitey

I’ll bet she is part mulatto.

[null and void]

I think it's shameful that we would find anything in your culture worth appropriating!

nully *ducks* and runs for cover...

There is only one answer to this: The one finger salute.

No, two answers: The dreaded two finger salute.

It is long past time to make these idiots know the threat of a fist in the mouth.

Quit putting up with low (or no) IQ marsh mallow arts losers.

I love the artwork, Procon, LOL.

What makes me think that “culture appropriation” only goes one way racially??

Why stop with “hairstyle” as an example of culture appropriation? How about agriculture, technology, even language? Nobody could dress, say, sing, act, watch, eat, grow, or use anything that they cannot directly show was from their culture of origin.

But, again, I’m sure this is a one-way street.

Actually, Rastafarians do not cut their hair based on the story of Samson in the Old Testament. He belonged to a cult which did not cut their hair. So...dreads were actually appropriated from Jewish culture. Somebody better tell this chick this vid. She needs to repent of her cultural appropriating sins.

[Tax-chick]

Oh, the Rastafarians are all Nazirites? I didn’t know that.

[fieldmarshaldj]

I disagree. She’s about the only White girl who could pull off that look.

[Shimmer1]

One word, you racist idiot, (the black woman in the video)

Beyonce. She's stealing MY culture.

[sergeantdave]

It’s on video, right? Swear out a criminal complaint against the racist nazi for assault.

[Right Wing Assault]

It looks as if young Bo appropriated some “camel culture.”

Don’t tell the camels.
