And then we complain about being followed in stores or having stereotypes of being thieves, even though that’s what they do… it bothers me so much.

I recognise it in basically every community where raising your child is starkly different compared to what you grow up with. Take my British Indian immigrant mother, who grew up with little to no privacy, was beaten for bad or even unsure grades (which was subsequently followed up by the only real affection she’d receive) and regularly talks about how her parents are “soft” when dealing with her man-child brother, when apparently Grandad was to be feared. This reflects in her lack of boundaries or respect for boundaries with me, especially with possessions or even my own body (I had to explain multiple times, in vain, that she can’t touch wherever, whenever, however she wants), her insecurity over my grades (guaranteed getting 9-7s in everything) because her point of reference is the highly competitive Indian Education system, and tendencies to get angry very quickly or not respect when I tell her something. Her love language is definitely touching, but how much does that matter when the touching doesn’t respect me at all, because to her I’m her small, youngest son, not a teenage human in their own right?

@@quiznak1003 maybe, but I know for a fact in my own life there wasn’t a time a belt got put on me and I didn’t deserve it. It actually curbed the behavior because I knew full well why it happened. Never once did I blame my parents for my own disregard of the rules. I knew what was up, consequences for getting caught, and did it anyway. Everything I’ve ever been “grounded” for though I definitely did again and again. I’m not saying your point is invalid, but I am saying people are different when it comes to things like this. I was never afraid of my father and he handed me some legendary whoppings in the past, cause they never came for nothing nor did it ever go to far. People need to learn about consequences one way or another. When I lied to my parents for a whole semester about not having homework and failed that class, I didn’t get mad at them when the ass-whooping came. I wrote that check every time I came home and abused their trust. That was 5th grade and I never did it again all through school. TLDR: punishment needs to fit the crime and the person. I’m the type that needed an occasional belt-to-ass moment to eliminate the bad behavior and anything similar.

honestly i think a big part of it is that a lot of braids that are meant for black hair harm other hair types. I’m blonde (and i specify color in this case as blonde hair tends to have a different texture to darker hair colors)with fine straight hair…my hair would not be able to healthily withstand cornrows or box braids or pretty much any braid style that was made for black hair (and just to clarify i’m not talking about color of the hair as every race has people with hair the color black). Now, my hair could totally handle braids like dutch braids or french or plaits.. as they are looser style braids meant for my hair type. sometimes it’s less to do with race in particular but more to do with what is healthy for your hair and scalp. and also when you have hair done in a way that is not conducive to your hair type..it is going to look weird and bad most of the time. like for example..dread locs…it does not matter how hard i try to get my hair lock, unless my hair is unwashed..dirty and oily, my hair will not form into dreads. For a person without more textured/curly hair, your hair must be dirty to form the dreads, and by that point they aren’t really dreads, it’s your hair getting matted. Unlike curly/coily hair where hair can more naturally lock up, even while the hair is clean and healthy. So it’s going to look WAYYYYY better on someone with that curly textured hair than someone with hair like me who would have to neglect hygiene and heavily force my hair into that state. oh but i will say there are white people with incredibly curly and even coiled hair types.. and that’s where my knowledge on the subject comes to an end. Cause while they do have the hair texture that african style braids are meant for..some people don’t think they should use those types of braids and others think it’s fine. so 🤷♀️

If one's child has a problem keeping their hands to themselves and they don't want to listen. They need the belt but you have explain why you did it. "You don't like the way it feels when I put my hands on you and neither do other ppl when you put your hands on them". Also, the punishment has to fit the crime. One doesn't need the belt for everytime they misbehave. If I got in trouble in school for being disrespectful, I would be punished and have to do a bunch of work around the house. If I didn't keep my hands to myself and was starting trouble, I got the belt. I got the belt maybe 2 or 3 times as a child and that's all it took. My parents weren't excessive or gave me bruises or welts. They were fair for the most part. Every child is different. I listened and didn't cause too many problems. Other kids need more reinforcement or different styles of parenting. The presence of fathers plays a huge role too. With the women analogy, that's for men using restraint. With kids, it's for discipline. There needs to be consistent discipline but there also needs to be balance.

Im indigenous but i dont consider myself native bc its too muddied with my other ethnicities but i am a mexican poc. I grew up in a predominantly native and hispanic space. If you said squaw or border monkey you got your ass handed to you same day. We didnt grow up thinking native people were dying out bc theres so many in my hometown we were genuinely unaware. We always thought tourists were just stupid. The racism for us definitely depended on tribe. Navajos were always racist to other tribes and white ppl bc of historical beef. Yet less angry towards hispanics as most of them saw us as surviving indigeneaty erasure. Smaller tribes were less racist but also had different beefs within tribe to tribe. We still faced racism towards white people but we looked at it more like a systemic thing than a day to day thing bc we had each other. Im grateful to have a unique upbrining bc it educated me on microaggressions and systematic issues without a word of it ever needing to be spoken. Some natives also are blood quantum supremacists who wont marry nonnatives or wont share the language and wpuld rather risk it dying then sharing with non natives. The discussion on indigenous peoples is so nuanced and none of us are close in the way we should be in terms of communities to discuss how we can help each other and its the same with indigenous latinos.

You’re light skinned or dark skinned. How dark? How light? Down to the individual’s perception. But it’s still either A or B. Brown skinned is for those that are not Black or fully Black. Same way Japanese don’t call themselves white. Asians. Italians. Samoans. Mixed raced Brown. Totally different race. These people own Brown. They have their own identity. Let them. Black peoples have their own. Black is ours, Brown is theirs. There’s nothing wrong with it. Acknowledgment is respect.

Reading these comments I've seen people argue against the hair point saying that its cause black people get discriminated against because of braids, but I'm a blonde slavic woman and I've had braids my whole life in my home country, even with beautiful colourful beads and accessories. This was before I've ever seen someone other than my own race (early 2000s). When I immigrated to the uk and wore my dutch braids to school I was literally bullied by other children, borderline assaulted (thrown to the ground) and called racist. I was 6/7 when it first happened and it was a group of slightly older black girls (around 8) who came up to me first and said if I don’t take those braids out they will get their older brothers and beat my ass. Yes thats a literal quote. It was an extremely diverse school and the other children who witnessed it would go on to bully me for my hair. The rest of the week I've even seen the mothers of those girls glare at me and make not so quiet remarks like 'so thats the racist girl? Tell me if she does it again'. I told the teachers and guess what, they sided with them. I didn't have box braids or dreads or anything that could be considered cultural appropriation. I had three thick dutch braids because my hair is long thick and frizzy and that was the only way to manage it. (Especially with the constant lice outbreaks in schools) I loved braids and I thought they looked beautiful on everyone but I've literally stopped braiding my hair and just straighten it because even till recently I've had people tell me I can't braid my own hair the way I was taught cause its not 'my culture' and I'm being offensive. Even when I tell them its literally a 'dutch' braid. Apparently I cant have more than 1. Thankfully there arent as mang people like this tho it still happens which is the problem. I still don't understand- is it cultural appropriation if my own family has braided hair this way for generations but we're not black? I've studied black history and now know the reasons behind their braids and can appreciate their part of the culture but my culture also used those braids as I come from a background of poverty and hard labour. Those braids made working on farms easier and the girls would braid flowers into their hair. I think its important to understand that a hairstyle can originate from more than one culture and understand thats its not only black people that get discriminated against for them. Even if its not part of someones culture I think imitation is the best form of flattery and I think its silly to assume everyone who is wearing this hairstyle is doing so with complete disregard to its historical significance. Though I am not black I wanted to share my experience with braids and culture. I would love to hear the opinion of black men and women on this matter. Edit: For more context, the reason I'm discussing dutch braids and my experience is because they are in a way similar to cornrows, and I think that's were the problem stemmed from. I would like to know your opinions on were you would draw the line between simply having multiple dutch braids and cornrows. I was told I can't have more than 1 braid because it would no longer be considered a 'dutch' braid. Though I have since then worn 2 or 3 at once and 3 braids received the most comments regarding cultural appropriation (this was high school so kids were quite vocal on they're opinions). I wanted to share my story on how I empathise with everyone else who has suffered discrimination or problems in general because of protective or cultural hairstyles. I definately didn't have it as bad as some people but want to spread the message of how common and overlooked this is, especially with children. I must add, though the comments were offputting the main reason I've stopped braiding my hair was due to breaking my right arm and then developing a painful cyst in my wrist that lasted a few years. I've been put off from relearning braids due to the backlash I received before and damage my hair ensured from improper care. I will take everyone's advice and will learn and do what's best for my hair, taking it a step at a time. I didn't want to make my comment longer than necessary but I've seen to have created some confusion on the point of my comment. It was quite late at night when I finished writing it. Thank you all for your amazing and informative comments below. I've tried to read all of them and have learnt quite a lot. I think I will start braiding my hair again now that I have a partner that hopefully can help me with the back of my head 😅.

It's because 1. It feels like the only thing some black people have 2..most people don't use it in the flattery way you do, they do it as a insult which I've personally seen many times 3. White people wearing afro hair styles don't get the same repercussions as black people wearing their culture. You know how we have a whole 'crown act' protecting our hair. I'm 15 but I rmemeber when I was 8 and my mom felt like she couldn't wear box braids or afro styles because it wasnt work appropriate (thats only because she was the only other black person in her department) and would straighten her hair like almost all year. That's why it's so badly looked upon because WE still get badly looked upon and it's OUR culture. Once people can stop doing that then I believe it should be sharable and not just be this. Which is why with hispanics it's different with white kids because most hispanics are Caribbean or have afro backgrounds and would get treated the same as a light skin black person so its more socially okay for them to do it. Me personally I feel like once we truly get over racism then things like these can happen, but that's never gonna have imo 🤷🏿♀️ plus some white people damage their hair badly after getting braided styles which is why from a caring point we tell them not to do it either. They end up matting their hair EXTREMELY bad and then shave it off. (But that's also the white people using braids for clout and insulting black women while doing so, so that could just be karma)

Now if i go even further ,they don't have blonde STRAIGHT hair which is the wigs that we are putting on. Stop lying to yourself and acting like you wear blonde wigs because you got the inspiration from these native tribes when in reality you didn't even know they existed until you wanted to make talking points about why we can wear blonde wigs.

But braids ARE specifically tied to Black American hair culture through our African ancestral hair culture. You can't show me a single white girl who had braids in 3rd grade photos or for summer vacation because of her French or Viking ancestry. Braids weren't part of their upbringing. If that was the case, THEY would be the braiders. They haven't kept the tradition alive, they don't add to it or innovate, they just appropriate. And it isn't the same as us wearing wigs, something we were required to do just to keep our jobs when our natural hair was deemed unprofessional. It's really a slap in the face to see white women walking around with hairstyles most black women can't even interview in.

@@Iunanec stop it. This isn't the gotcha moment you think it is. You came here with a bad faith question in response to my comment specifically about white American women not wearing braided styles as part of their heritage (a question that completely ignored the history, hypocrisy and cultural appropriation involved in that, by the way) to insert yourself into a conversation that didn't concern you _or_ Ecuador. My original comment stands. White American women do not wear braided hairstyles as part of whatever ethnic heritage they may have, and when they do wear braided styles, what's interesting is that none of them are traditionally European, they're lifting cornrow styles directly from urban communities, calling them "boxer braids" instead, crediting their origin to a Kardashian and also wearing intricate braided designs _with sculpted edges_ . That's a black thing, boo. And since they don't braid, they come to our communities to get it done. These are styles Black women are still discriminated against for wearing in the workplace today, to the point that the CROWN Legislation had to be enacted just to protect our right to wear our hair the way it naturally grows out of our heads. I'll stop being opposed to braids for white women the day ALL black women are free to wear their braids to work. Until then...✌🏿

Idk if this message gives what you want. Race is extremely important in America some people get beaten or killed for their race. You can't live as a person of color and not "make your life about your race" that's nearly impossible in places where racism against POC is heavy. Systematic racism cares about your race, people make up ideas of you from stereotypes before they even get to know you. And your selective support doesn't do anything as well because the people who do struggle in the community and don't fit your criteria will still be heavily affected. What marginalized communities don't need is selective support from people who only want to stand for "the educated and caring" or the ones who "don't make their life only about their races". Because then you'd be missing others who are still struggling and still deserve support. Also, people know what they're fighting for especially the black community we have been fighting for equality especially in the system and safe living for black people. So yes, we know what we're fighting for people just don't go and protest for funsies.

My father used to have a whip he used on my brother and me. My maa once kept hitting me with her slipper outside of my school gates for forgetting to pack my lunchbox in my bag. But it's not considered "abuse" in a society where it's completely normal to dicipline your kids by hitting them. A slap now and then does not even count as hitting. It's almost impossible to solve such problems which are a part of our society at this point. I raised this issue stupidly at a family gathering and people laughed at me.

I thought my mom would stop abusing me when I turned 18, thinking that maybe she'd realize I was an adult now and that she could get in trouble for assaulting another adult. I was so wrong, it continued until I was 20 and I finally left home. There was punching, kicking and biting involved and one day I was so terrified that I locked myself in my bedroom and for a few seconds I thought it'd be best if I jumped out of my window (we lived in a second floor apartment, so it would be a 4- 5 meter fall) to get out of that situation because she was threatening to break through my door to get to me, which she ended up doing, with a hammer. It still haunts me. Thankfully she didn't use the hammer on me, which I was afraid she would do. I was a rebellious and difficult kid, but I think what fueled this behavior was the abuse itself, because when I lived with other relatives for extended periods of time (grandparents/aunt) I didn't behave the same way and no one laid a hand on me. I did become a violent and angry person and struggled with it for years but I'm better now.

It was short lived, though, in part because of Otis Redding's death and in part because of sabotage for wanting to help black people in the South.

HBCU’s do not promote segregation. They don’t discriminate on the people who they accept. At the end of the day they are academic institutions that were created as a safe space for people of color so that we could have access to higher education, while also protecting our history, and not have to face discrimination within the world of academia( which is still happening…but y’all not ready for that conversation). At the end of the day it’s your choice not to go to a HBCU, but don’t say those institutions promote segregation, when literally anyone can apply and be accepted there.

Right. Hbcus allow all races, what makes hbcus a thing is the fact they are located in lower income areas and predominantly black areas. if anything the effect of the schools aren’t really enough to send people back in time because no one really invests in them. Also, wtf they expect us to do? “Hey white people move to our predominantly black areas to make our school diverse🥺!” Like no? You can’t force people Also, it’s just stupid in general. Every race has their own community and gate keeps their culture inorder to keep their generations going. Why are black people the only group expected to share their things for free and welcome prejudice people with open arms when they would never do the same ? No other group is going around advocating for black people to mix with their culture..It’s a weird take

I have a few. • We tend to be as racist as some white people as black people tend to have similar stereotypes and feelings that white people have about black people as to why they don't want either in their neighborhoods or near their families. • Though yes there is still a lot of racism and terrible shit that happens to black people, we tend to feel we are owned something due to our past and I don't believe so. • To continue on one person said, we do tend to create our own problems a lot of the time. We create a cycle of hating this and that but it will be our own people that create these situations to begin with or just settle to be lesser. • Idolizing ignorance and a dangerous image. So may times I've been told by my own people, not by anyone else, that I don't "act black" because I used bigger words and actually wanted to participate in school. For some reason we idolize living abd acting a certain way because sure we are surrounded by these people but just like everyone there is a spectrum of people. We should strive for more this life isn’t it. Sure it seems cool as kids as we wanna be rebels and cool at those ages. But we need to try harder to provide better opportunities for the growing generations.
