Rachel Dolezal Meets Instagram: Blackface 2.0
- Thread starter ShyMel
- Start date
That ain't a default "White" thing, yo. Hell, a lot of whites don't have NATURALLY straight hair. Being non-white and straightening your hair (or, well, being a PoC born with straight hair, like a lot of folk of Asian or Native American descent) aren't culturally appropriating the "white look". LOL!
Yeah, tanning is racist. Everyone you know who tans probably kill Blacks for fun every Tuesday. /s
Quoting for the new page.
More examples are in the links below:
While several of these influencers have been doing this for years at this point, in the last few months people on the internet have been documenting these in tweets and other ways in mass. And while the girls and women doing this do not technically identify as black the same way Rachel Dolezal did, they are still appropriating black culture and reaping the rewards of deals such as free items and endorsements.
BuzzFeed reached out to Emma Hallberg and she responded:
Looking at her Instagram, you can see that a lot of the clothing, accessories, and hairstyles she has in the pictures are more associated with African American women than Sweedish white women. That holds true for many of the women discussed in the articles and tweets.
Not really surprised that the "but but are you saying tanning is racist!?" strawman nonsense is coming from the same crowd that called Rachel Dolezal a transracial visionary and scream that Zwarte Piet isn't racist.
Wow at all of the unchecked "I'm confused, please explain?" in this thread.
That's a whole lot of trolling.
That's a whole lot of trolling.

OP
The most infuriating part is her acting all innocent and saying she isn't doing that. You have braids and baby hair. What the fuck are we doing here? Own that shit. That playing coy bullshit is trash.
She did say she wouldn't do that hairstyle anymore. Time will tell.
Also, what's baby hair?
ahhh, I see. So pretty much vellus hair. AKA the first stage of the hair-cycle (for lack of a better term) Interesting stuff! Thank you.
