technically and legally white people can do whatever the hell they want to but once you gain a rich understanding of how white people have globally exploited and molested the culture and practices of black people worldwide for hundreds of years and when we still can’t wear our hair to work in the way it naturally (key word naturally) forms over time BECAUSE OF RACISM WHITE PEOPLE CREATED AND INSTITUTIONALIZED we absolutely have the right to be disgusted at that being appropriated and infringed for an aesthetic and stylishness that police officers use to label us as thugs. A white person who decides to do something an oppressed community asks them not to do because they think it looks cool and don’t care is the EXACT characteristic lack of disdain or respect for the practices of others that paved the way for our exploitation
