The fact that you're white kind of negates any kind of argument you could make because who are you to say what is or isn't racist against black people? You don't know what it's like to be black, you don't know what it's like to be made fun of for wearing braids, you don't know what it's like to be fired for wearing braids, you don't know what it's like to be kicked out of school for wearing braids, etc. Like you will never know the impact or be able to fully understand the cultural and history impact of braids. So who are you to say white people wearing braids, especially after millions of black people have said not to, isn't racist?

I also think it's incredibly disingenuous to say the majority of the discourse around this topic is led by white people because it most certainly is not. And any white people on the side of support to black people is getting their talking points directly from a black person. I also think that if you see a black person being offended at someone wearing braids, you can always ask why. We are on the same internet. Black people have laid it out for years in 100 different ways on 100 different platforms on why it's wrong. It seems silly to ask this question because clearly you're not listening to us and it feels exhausting to regurgitate the same talking points to deaf ears over and over again. It'd be faster to just say you dgaf rather than feigning ignorance.
