When and where the hell did this bonnet/shower cap shyt start?

[skylove4]

Ah I see, so you would rather that we continue to conform to the preconceived images that white supremacists have of us then? Conform to images that THEY created in the first place? The "mammy" (bonnets), the "brute" (durags)? It's not about ATTACKING our image, it's about PROTECTING our image. Nothing wrong with wearing these in private. However, in public, we should collectively shame this nonsense as a community.

How the hell are we "rejecting" these images as a whole when people like you confuse rebellion with leaning into said stereotypes?

No I want you to be a emotionally mature adult and respect the autonomy of another tax paying black person to wear what they damn well please

Yall act like you see that shyt in nice places.

I look like a bum and I don't give a fukk because I am not trying to impress none of yall.

No I want you to be a emotionally secure adult and respect the autonomy of another tax paying black person to wear what they damn well please

You do recall that your very first response to me involved name-calling, right?

I was looking for an actual discussion. Instead you came out the gate swinging, all for some fake internet points from strangers. As a fellow adult.

"c00n!"

Good lord

To be fair, my stance on bonnets applies to durags

There's the well-thought out, measured response I was looking for

Alot of yall are too young to remember the Jheri curl Era. It was nothing to see a dozen nikkas with shower caps on walking around, men and women.

Alright, fine

Lol to each his own I suppose

But like I've said earlier, in this world, image is EVERYTHING; especially when we're already at the bottom of society and have a negative perception in people's minds across the globe

There's a reason the NOI always wore suits in public

Who are we trying to look good for?


Yea, the NOI wears suits but where has that got them?

These CACs don't care if brehs are wearing a tuxedo or a damn Sean John velour outfit. They will always look down on us, til they gotta look up.
