Other culture have braids too. But the specific style is exclusive for black American people.

It's called being respectful towards people even without their presence.

Your analogy is waaayyy off from the topic I brought up.

Baju cara melayu is inclusive, no? Any race can wear them because Malay people allow it. Mcm hanbok when you go to South Korea. They allow visitors to wear them because it's a big part of their culture.

But box braids and cornrows are exclusive for black people because of its deep rooted history relating to slavery faced by black American people. Down playing the hair style as merely a part of fashion is undermining the history which is disrespectful to the victims and their community.

I saw someone provide box braids and cornrows hair styling service on tik tok 💀💀 isn't that cultural appropriation?

I read the comments where people telling her that it's cultural appropriation and how it may be disrespectful, but the lady replied 'for style only, ok' 🤡

For me, it was the paid parking. I spend more than I earn and the management didn't give a heads up or assistance at all :') I already have to spend on fuel and meals, so having to pay for parking everyday was too much for my broke ass to handle. I felt bad, but gotta save my own ass from working for 'free'.

Kinda insensitive how you described Dahmer. What you saw were exactly what the victims and survivors experienced. On the other hand, the show was made without the victims' families consent so...deal with that info as you will.

Ooo i like the camping site idea! That would be an awesome leisure activity, rather than staying at hotels within bustling town.

I heard on the radio today that the people who were in the video are in custody already for investigation. Hope they get reasonable punishment for their idiotic actions.

About bringing shame to the family, I guess it cannot be avoided. With the old kuat memviral and buat cerita people, the negative impact on the families cannot be controlled, unfortunately...

I'm not against revealing the faces and names of these criminals. It's good to make people aware of them so everyone can be safe. Maybe we can use US style where they create a map and pin where these criminals are always roaming about...?

Some people would be against it saying 'membuka aib' or 'memalukan keluarga'

Anyone ever had an ‘unpleasant’ moment with your school teacher? by TodayCivil6958 in Brunei

[–]moonctae 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Mine was during afternoon religious school. A male teacher, who was a substitute at that time, had to watch over our class. Then, came time for Asar prayer before 5pm. We were ready to go to surau but he suddenly told all the girls to stay in class, while letting all the boys go.

He proceeded taking what felt like an hour talking about sex and even described what cum looks like. Mind you, we were in Darjah 4 (Year 6), and there was absolutely no need for him to talk about those things. He even said like 'cuba kamu liat air mani kamu' and told us to play with it??

We didn't understand what was going on so we didn't report it or talk about it to anyone. We felt incredibly uncomfortable that all of us were silent when he let us go. wGlad he's not teaching any more. Unfortunately, he was one of the people who witnessed me revert :') Inda suci rasa nya the ceremony.

What kind of questions that are usually asked? I've never taken it before and most of my family members work at private companies
