Didn't watch the video, but I wanna say black people age so graciously
Cac females wearing bonnets is widely accepted and respected.
its only associated with trash or inappropriate when black people do it.
You know good and damn well these aren’t the bonnets one SLEEPS in.
Going to the dentist in a bonnet and PJs is literal sleepwear.
Come on
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.
I think its tacky but not an existential threat
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.
That was 2009-2013 and people were definitely doing that
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.

Thread title sounds like the title of a movie airing exclusively on Tubi.

Any bytch wearing a bonnet shower cap or pajamas outside should be given a $500 fine.
