What a massive POS to bag on his parents on a completely normal parenting thing to do.
What racist *******s they were to take in a black kid that otherwise probably would have died young and been a loser.
It's normal to use racist stereotypes when describing minority hair styles? In what household is that normal exactly?
Mine when I showed up from A&M with hair to my shoulders and an earring. My Dad about ripped it out of my ear and then called me a thug.
It's called being a parent and wanting your kid to not look unkempt. This isn't hard.
Is it normal to use racist stereotypes about minority hairstyles to minorities? Where is this considered normal procedure?
The only racist I see here is the one that thinks "thug" is exclusively black. Never in my 60 years has it had a color attached to it. You might want to do a little self reflecting.
Goes back to indisputable truth of life #1.
Only libs can define racism.
Biggest disconnect seems to be those who can't acknowledge definitions of words their attempting to use. No where in the definition of racism does it say it's defined by specific people of a political party.
You're the only one disconnected here. There is only one person white knighting here and that in and of its self is racist.
Nothing disconnected about acknowledging facts and using words in their correct definition. Sorry but emotion or attempts to move the bar can't change fact. I'm not "white knighting" or racist so sorry if that upsets you.
I gave you the historical chronology of corn rows, that is fact! You're the only one ideologically, emotionally trying to change that history to use in your emotional white knighting and label people racist. You can't even step back from that and give it a more thoughtful consideration. That is the definition of emotional.
You did nothing of the such. Fact is is directly traced back to blacks people in Africa and was carried to colonial America first through Caribbean slaves resulting from the Atlantic slave trade. That is fact. Now referring to a minority child as a thug or even stating they look like a thug on the basis alone of the minority hair style is textbook definition of a racist stereotype. That is another fact that isn't going to change by any whataboutism, emotion, strawman arguments, or attempts at moving the bar into some tangent. I'm not white knighting or labeling any specific person as racist only acknowledging what is factually a racist stereotype.
Let's try this again since you ignored it earlier.
"The oldest known depictions of hairstyles that appear to be cornrows or braids are the statues known as the Venus of Brassempouy[3][4] and the Venus of Willendorf,[5][6][7] which date to 25,000-30,000 years ago and were found in modern day France and Austria.
Depictions of women with cornrows have been found in Stone Age paintings in the Tassili Plateau of the Sahara, and have been dated as far back as 3000 B.C. As well as the cornrow style is seen in depictions of ancient Cu****ic people of the horn of Africa wearing this style of braids as far back as 2000 B.C.[8] The traditional hairstyle of Roman Vestal Virgins incorporated cornrows.[9][10][11]
The tradition of female hairstyling in cornrows has remained popular throughout Africa, particularly in the Horn of Africa and West Africa and the rest of Africa as a whole. Historically, male hairstyling with cornrows can be traced as far back as the early 5th century BC within Ancient Greek sculpture and artwork, typically shown on warriors and heroes. Artwork and statues of different Middle Eastern and Mediterranean civilisations dating back to the 3rd and 4th century BC also suggest that such hairstyles were common amongst warrior cultures."
And, when you say minority, you bring race, color, into the conversation. You're the only one that has brought race into this, falsely claiming that cornrows are attributed to the black race. You've also tried the leftist tactic of subverting the term thug. Cornrows have no color and thug has no color. Only the racism of soft bigotry brings that into connection. You might want to look in the mirror on that one.
