So basically she's bragging about how she was able to avoid most of the negative connotations that come with wearing black hairstyles by being white and that she should be lauded for being the "bigger person" by acknowledging her privilege and cutting off her hair even though she didn't have to even though she knew of said privileges and how it could be seen as disrespectful beforehand. But if she was really being honest she'd call it for what it really was: a phase

But maybe going through that took her out of that phase

That's great.
But now what is she actually going to do about the attitudes and systems that her fellow Caucasians have and support?

Nothing but enjoying white privilege.

This is all talk. These types have no real interest in the issues of the disadvantaged. They aren't allies.

No, her realizing she could capitalize off of her heel turn and write some holier than thou type article on the subject most probably took her out of that phase. There's nothing in that article that shouldn't already be common sense, but she's just using herself as some type of voice for black people because being a white woman wearing a certain hairstyle suddenly validated the same arguments we've been saying for years....and she acknowledged she knew all of those talking points well before she even cut it off
