A Note on Cultural Appropriation
If you’re not Native American, its not smudging its smoke cleansing.
If you’re not Native American, its not a spirit animal, it’s an animal guide, patronus or daemon. (And no it’s not a totem animal either.)
If youre not African American or Afro-Carribean, it’s not a voodoo doll it’s a poppet.
Yes, you’re not wrong in pointing out that i just gave you a list of synonyms. No one is saying that these CONCEPTS are inherently appropriation. But specific terms carry their specific ties. Know what ties are for you, and what aren’t.
Being able to roll your eyes at the term “cultural appropriation” is a sign of privilege. You think everyone should just do what they want right? Because you’ve never been ridiculed or shamed for your traditions, culture, features, and appearance while at the same time seeing others copy or take those traditions, culture, features, and appearance and be praised for “starting trends” or “being edgy”. Keep that in mind next time you wanna throw a temper tantrum because a black girl told you you shouldn’t wear dreads.
“Unappropriated Beauty“ is a poster ad campaign tackling the issue of cultural appropriation in a non-accusatory, educational way. These adverts are size-compatible to fit in different settings, including bus shelters, billboards, mobile devices, and magazines. The goal of this project is to educate the consumers of appropriative media so that they are better equipped to decide for themselves what is and what is not cultural appropriation, and therefore lowering the tolerance for appropriation being applauded in the media.
White people can’t have dreads!
They just can’t! This isn’t even an opinion it’s a fact! Look:
Dreads:
Shit white people do:
Like let’s be honest, do those look ANYTHING alike? No? Didn’t think so🤷🏾♀️😂
I know they won’t stop doing this appropriative shit even though it doesn’t compare in any way to the real thing and white people just shouldn’t do it from a moral/ethical viewpoint but they will continue to so here’s the deal.
We’re no longer calling that shit white people do dreads, from now on when white people try (and fail) to imitate dreads they’ll be called matts.
Because it literally looks like they matted their hair together with glue to make grinch fingers sprout out they heads lol.
So one more time
Dreads^^^
Matts^^^
Live it, learn it, love it👌🏾
Thanks for coming to me TED talk
Edit:
Haha WOW a lot of racism and ignorance in the comments from white people about this! Let’s just clear something up
White people wearing dreadlocks are considered cultural appropriation here because for decades (and even still today) white people would make fun of black women and men for their natural hairstyles. After slavery black women would have to straighten their hair to find work and black men would have to shave. The same can be said for today. Today in order for many black woman to be seen as “professional” they have to have straight hair and for black men they have to cut off all their hair.
Today black children are kicked out of schools for their dreadlocks and it is only illegal in ONE state to discriminate against a black persons natural hair. That means in 49 states it is completely legal to fire a black person, kick a black child out of school, and discriminate against a black person just because of their hair.
Also many black women grow up being told our natural hair isn’t as beautiful as string straight hair. This is told to us by the beauty industry, social media, our parents, and society. This is why now it is so hurtful and disrespectful to see our hairstyles and culture copied by the very same people who made fun of us and told us our hairstyles were “ghetto”, “unprofessional”, and “ugly”.
Also the vast majority y’all just don’t have the biological hair texture for it and if you’re not black and you do then it’s still wrong to appropriate this hairstyle! I hope this helps explain the situation a little better for y’all.
