I can't stand that dude. Everything he says comes from such a hate filled place. His prospective is so limited and ignorant. The argument that BW only wear weaves b/c of shame or to imitate other races is so silly and antiquated.
Yes there are women who wear weaves b/c of shame but saying that is the only reason is dismissive of the creativity that BP express threw their hair.
The same chick who I see rocking the 30inch remy will have on a curly bob next week and Marley twists the week after that. This supposed shame ever BW with a weave has doesn't take into a account the varies of styles that weave is worn in. Last I checked WW, AW and whoever else aren't walking around with half the styles BW are wearing with their weaves.
Changing up your hair is fun and one of the benefits of being a woman; especially a BW. Weaves today represent expression and versatility. They are also a way to protect your own hair from styling.
These are some typically weaves. With the exception to the last picture there is nothing White or Asian about these (meaning you will typically not see them with this style.) So why are they a representation of imatation?
Anyway, not to go to hard on the subject but I understand why someone wouldn't like weaves...I mean a lot do look silly and/or are not well cared for but it's an art and everyone is not an artist.
And WW and AW don't (mostly) wear weave b/c they can't. Their hair can't even hold a braid and their hair is greasy in 2 days. So the styles that BW wear are not even a possibility for them. But they are finding ways to get on board with their fusion and clip ins.
And yes I love natural hair. But I don't see the problem with a little variety.
