Abused and degraded for having an Afro
In a world of continuous Halloween Freak Comedy Shows as perpetuated by women wearing an inexhaustible list of 30 inches fake Brazilian, Venezuelan, Bolivian,Cambodian, etc hair; heavily painted eyebrows about 5cm thick starting from the nasion to the temporal bone sharper than the M4 exit southbound towards Gatwick; caterpillar-like glued on fake eyelashes which at first glance literally look like a row of hairy hunchback caterpillars mating; not forgetting caked foundation faces like an incomplete lowly paid circus clown, being natural and sporting an Afro is a crime.
African Fashion Journalist of acclaimed African Fashion site Shadders was this week subjected to ridicule and taunts for walking about in her Afro. She was approached by a seller of Brazilian, Peruvian and Cambodian hair who wasted no time in admonishing her for walking about looking so ancient. You will be forgiven for thinking the bestower of such richly packed racist sentiments is a member of the notorious EDL or a crystallised by-product of the BNP . Alack! t'were non of them!
In a heavily punctuated Nigerian accent, the African woman attacked Shadders as a “beautiful girl like you should not walk around with an Afro hair as it makes you look very ethnic”
The thing is black people are their own worst enemy. Dim wits slowly pan fried over a blazing heat of foolishness and stupidity. Read about Shadders blackrism (racist treatment from a fellow black to another) here
Sad.
ReplyDeleteIt's so sad that some people can't see the beauty in themselves. But it's not that shocking since we have been bombarded with the ideal that looking white is the ideal standard and black is viewed as being less then.
clearly not only is the fake hair seller someone that has fallen for this ideal but is pushing it just to sell some weave.
