That was 2009-2013 and people were definitely doing that

Haitians were, most definitely.

At least around here.

I thought, at first, they were doing it as their version of dudes wearing wave caps.​

The problem is things become normalized in popular “black culture”/hiphop culture/hiphop adjacent culture and it spreads because there’s been a severe blurring of the line between subculture/hiphop culture and African American culture.

People will look at something and think it’s ok just because they see another Black person doing it.

Real talk, 10-15yrs ago this bonnet shyt was unheard of. You put on a fitted/cap, headband, fly head wrap or even a damn wig if you knew how to style it. I mean there are wigs that have built in headbands for immediate, easy use.

The bonnet shyt is ghetto culture that has become popularized.

You aren’t ghetto for using bonnets when you sleep. You’re ghetto for WEARING SLEEPWEAR OUTSIDE THE HOUSE.

You don’t wear slippers (“house shoes”) outside the house, right? You don’t wear robes (“house coat”) outside the house, right?

It’s the same thing.

I do....I literally dress like a bum when I'm out buying art supplies. Bonnet on pj pants on and hardbottom slippers. Imma artist btw so my appearance doesn't really matter..plus all my shyt got paint stains on em.

i will say this again tho

and i think i said it the first time she brought them up

idc what people wearing to the airport as long as they ain't smelling like they haven't showered.

if people wanna be comfortable on a 5 or 6 hour flight then let them, i usually wear sweatpants, a hoodie and slides unless i'm going to something where i need to be more dressed up directly form the flight.


i understand why that still bothers some people, but i personally don't care, like i said as long as you don't smell like shyt, idc what you're wearing at the airport.

She is absolutely correct. They’re basically satin shower caps that are meant to be worn in the house.




And removed before you come downstairs to start the day.

Doesn’t matter. Black people should be allowed to wear what they want. If you want to judge them for that freedom. Thats cool too, but dress codes seem like a petty reason to encourage us to accept to accept subjigation.

Women...and now men, walking around looking like the chef from the muppets

 

[Luke Cage]

Dumb shyt to waste time being mad about. But since that what it is

 

[Kasgoinjail]

She defo looking better with age

 

[Doobie Doo]

But it wasn’t excused as some normalized thing. YES, people were doing it, but there were more people who acknowledged that it was inappropriate.


“White trash” walks around looking a certain way that decent white folks wouldn’t. It’s the same thing.
Popularized inner-city culture.

But we are classist, bougie a$$holes if we acknowledge that something is inner-city culture and not something seen in decent neighborhoods.

It is what it is. If you come from decent stock your parents didn’t send you outside the house looking a certain way as a child, and when you grew into adulthood you learned to continue with those lessons.

Nothing has changed, the bottom of the barrel folks still rock bonnets.

Call me when Rihanna and Beyonce normalize it

Is that Derrick Jaxn's former wife?

She really rose from the ashes. I give props.
