White People Are Rebranding Cornrows as 'Boxer Braids'

[wickedsm]

That's what happens when white folks try to ease drop so they can try to be "hip"
There's box braids (that I have in my avi) there's cornrows, there's braids and plaits

Foh with this "boxer braid" nonsense.
They can't even copy correctly

Wait, so first we clown black people for wearing braids/cornrows until they stop wearing that style, then get mad that another race is popularizing them again?

@ "boxer braids"


These cacs have no chill whatsoever!




Knee-grows lost out on jobs/job opportunities bc they DARED to show up with braids, now b/c some cac boxer or that trash family Kardashian does it, it's the "hot NEW style" At this point I have to at it to stop from . The bounds of "appropriation" they use is limitless

I agree with you here. At least the article admitted the style is African, at least some acknowledgement, minus the fact that millions of black people have worn in all throughout the late 90s and 2000s .. .

I really don't care, but the point is spot on. I can see it now, promoting Lily to management with boxer braids..

My brother used to rock those cornrows, mom made him cut them off because she was afraid he wouldn't get a job, "too ******ish."

Now it's elegant.

It was sarcasm. I'd like to think braids date back to the beginning of hair.
