Is it really? For instance, you have respect for Meso-American cultures that practised human sacrifice for reasons of superstitious belief, do you?
"practised"
I meant with regards to modern cultures. You can respect a culture and disagree with their practices tbh.
For instance, i disagree with Christians on their versions of events regarding evolution. But I'm not going to go to a church and set it on fire, nor would I throw a cross depicting Jesus' crusifiction on the floor and stamp on it.

You've obviously never seen black people kick off at white people having braids then.
(Original post by coolio333)
First of all a braid is not a hair type but a African/Black hair STYLE. BLONDE hair is a type of colour and not a form of appropriation (never knew white people claimed the colour blonde..). And if a white women decided to style her hair curly and black person decided to style their hair straight - this isn't cultural appropriation. You do realise that their are white people out their with curly hair and black people out their with STRAIGHT hairSo, is their natural hair cultural appropraition? I think not. Only when a typical hairstyle belonging to a certain culture is styled by a racist person this causes commotion as it is cultural appropriation

Hence why i argued that a white person wearing braids witthout any acknowledgement of the history of this hair style nor any respect for its cultural origins is a form of cultural appropriation. If the white person embraces the cultural origins and respects the history of the hair style, this is not cultural appropriation. But an encouragement and positive view of other cultures, which is not something i disagree with -

So if a white person got braids, would they have to take a class on its origins (which apparently originated from Europe according to someone elses post) in order to avoid "disrespecting" it? How exactly can they disrespect it?
Just wearing braids though, even if they're aware of the culture, they still get **** for it.

The oldest known examples of braided hair are European. The same applies to Dreadlocks which originated in Ancient Greece.
Stop appropriating white European culture you disgusting racist bigoted ****.Last edited by hannxm; 24-10-2017 at 13:16. -

Why should anyone have to acknowledge the origins of what they do now? Do you somehow thank the Anglo-Saxons every time you write in English? Do you proclaim your thanks to Edison with a placard every time you turn on an electric light? -

i believe those with a big social media platform ( the kardashians for example) should achknowledge the origins (AFRICAN culture)
The Gauls, a Celtic people, were famous for their braids - the Romans (their enemies) mention the fact in their histories. They also shaped their hair like a horse's mane.

Of course, the truth is that men and women of all cultures have styled their hair in creative ways for ever and these styles are not associated with any single culture, but you will find that difficult to accept as the bandwagon you are on doesn't have any stops to allow time for thought.

Allow whites to celebrate their ancestry and their culture then you wont have so many misguided people appropriating others clothing and fashions. As long as the failed multicultural experiment continues 'cultural appropriation' is inevitable.

Any race can practice culture appropriation. For me, culture appropriation is using something from a culture without giving credit when due or just claiming it as your own without giving acknowledgement to the "creators". I didn't use to believe in. But let's think of it this way... so let's say you have a marginalized group of people who created a specific style of dance or slang or style that they created of to express themselves in a society that mocked them. So lets say people liked some aspects of the culture and decided to use them. So the people incorporate in their own culture but don't want to acknowledge the "creators" but bash the creators and claimed the culture as their own.
This reminds me of some women using slang created by black gay men from NY but still want to bash gay men. Or people using traditional clothing as a Halloween costume when actual people dress in those clothing for significant events and represent who they are.
I'm not saying I think college campuses cafes should be closed down for serving sushi or anything like that. -
