Reply to comment by snowflake in Do you consider white people with dreads to be harmful cultural appropriation? by ziq
you're joking right? you think acknowledging racial oppression is capitalist motivation and the people in power (white people) appropriating cultural signifiers of oppressed people (in context, black people) WITHOUT having to deal with the consequences is somehow revolutionary.
...are you serious right now?
shit, like
I don't consider myself particularly well educated on issues of race - and while I'm actively trying to learn it does take time - but this is kinda 101 shit to even acknowledge the cultural construct of race and why it's impactful.

what are the consequences of dreadlocks on a POED? i really don't understand how it's a threat to blackness, seems rather like an appreciation or acceptance to let the hair grow long and natty, … and what is a revolutionary haircut , though? should we have a mullet? should it be combed everyday to keep it looking properly white? what if my great-grandma was black but the rest of my family is POED?

I'm done... there may be hope but I, personally, do not have the education to have a chance of succesfully smacking this person's head out of their ass

White fragility on that level can't be chipped away at with mere words. They'd have to lose some of their privilege to learn to see past it. So yeah, lost cause.
