The Vikings were wearing dreadlocks long before the Roman Empire. The Asians had their queue more than 3000 years ago. So I don’t understand why some groups say that wearing dreadlocks is cultural appropriation.
@@bigjake6936No matter how many times people explain this to you idiots the point always go right over your heads. So how about you go educate yourself. I’m not wasting any more of my time.
Thanks to the SOC119 podcast that provided the link that brough me here. I'm just a few minutes and I think it's ironic that the old white guy knows more about Kenya than the young black girl from Kenya does.
He knows nothing abt Foundational Black Americans. We are not african never have been. We look distinctively different. That yt dude tried to ensinuate FBA have yt ancestry and african. Funny and dangerous. But we actually know our history
It's true that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. The statement societal "beauty standard" isn't a single thing but is more correctly described as a distribution. Saying there are "cracks" in the standard is nonsense. Rather, it would be better to say the distribution is widening in that a more people consider a wider range of features beautiful. I also reject the statement that "someone has to define what the standard is." Beauty is central to mate selection. We all know some people have a 'type' which may or many not align with the 'majority standard.' Each person practices their own 'standard.' The cultural standard, which again is a distribution, is an emergent phenomenon. No one sets it--unless the society is being deliberately manipulated, such as by guilting judges to pick black contestants in pageants or by showing only mixed-race couples in ads. Saying he has no standard of beauty is completely wrong. He correctly identifies that there are some universal standards, such as symmetry, clear skin, etc., which undoubtedly are genetically based. However, he's using a measure of what's universal across everyone, which is unreasonable. We know personality traits are heavily genetic, but there's a wide variety of personality types, so thinking each individual person doesn't have an innate 'beauty standard' derived from his/her own biology and instead it's all socialized is just unrealistic.
It is fundamentally flawed to refer to it as "white beauty standards" when its actually just the "majority beauty standards" USA was and still is predominantly white. In addition the black community has never been told to style their hair like white people by anyone other than black people. The standards are set by their own community, not society at large
So there has never been a standard at work or in schools that prevent black employees and students from wearing braids, locs, or natural hair. No discrimination at all??? So I can go for a corporate job wearing those type of hair styles, no problem?
@@nique21294 also, so your saying the white house press secretary isn't allowed to do one of the highest level jobs in America with her natural hair? Even though she's on TV constantly proving you wrong?
I’m still at the beginning but am curious why being an educator would give him a free pass. I wouldn’t want someone that behaves like that educating my children. I understand it was heat of the moment, but a lot of crimes - murder included - are heat of the moment. If he gets a smack on the wrist, a precedent is set. I think 7 years is extreme but he definitely should do enough time to make it a deterrent. I’m not sure how long that is, though.
As a product of the sixties I find it strange that we have to have discussions like this. Right now stop talking and all of you should watch the movie Hair.

Stop lying, matted hair is not locks. Asians have to process their hair to make it curly
It's amazing that things like braids, used by many cultures and races for thousands of years are somehow the property of one group?
Many cultures have similar practices but the TYPE of braids you are referring to are very specific to African culture.
@@nique21294Are you aware of how ridiculous you sound right now?
Why doesnt anyone else cry about their "type" of braids@nique21294
@@ClarenceJBoddicker1987 every culture has food but every culture has different TYPES of food for example. Did I dumb it down enough for you?

@@Hismana-oi4yx Not sure what you're saying. For instance, I know a lot about Fox Hounds, but I too, know nothing about Foundational Fox Hounds.

@@nedflanders4158 so one example means there is no discrimination at all??? So one non racist person means that racism doesn’t exist? 😂😂😂

@becorations1
These are immigrants, Foundational Black Americans are not west africans. Lol
@@Hismana-oi4yx I’m not sure what you mean. I didn’t say anything about Africans.
This entire thing is so awkward lol

It's equally amazing how, in the 90/00s, people with braids were often asked to cut them off in the workforce.
