The funniest part of this whole thread is that its from an interview that she did on the Colbert Report and she’s talking about elves.
yeah…no.
i like bjork’s music and i usually really dig her aesthetics but her hair for this album is giving me all types of feelings. i don’t like how she gets to wear wigs that look like natural black woman hair and it’s aight and artsy and cool and respected but a black woman wearing their hair like this, THE HAIR THAT GROWS OUT OF THEIR HEAD, is treated like shit BECAUSE THEIR HAIR LOOKS LIKE THIS (shit, looks better in fact). this is obviously bigger than bjork and i am mad at white privilege as a whole.
and like, what is she doing in this gif? what interview is this from? why??????? the hand gestures, the words, the hair. it’s making me so uncomfortable because a white woman is allowed to do all of this and at the end of the day all her white fans aren’t going to hate. she’s still going to be respected and successful. she can take that wig off at the end of the day.
Yeah… much love to Bjork, but this shit is not cool at all. It’s sad to say, because really, a Black woman having feelings is sufficient proof that it’s wrong. But I will say, shit is SERIOUSLY FUCKED UP when a non-Black woman has an auto-aversion reaction to seeing a white woman do this. My opinion means shit next to Popca’s, but I’m just saying… this is not a difficult thing to understand. It’s wrong.
Lol why is this specific towards women? You’d have to be insecure as fuck to find this offensive.
No, but you would have to be a racist piece of shit to not understand or care why it is offensive, especially since it is spelled out for you above. But then, that does perfectly describe you, based on your blog which is a bastion of cultural appropriation. And it’s specific to women because it’s white women who do it so constantly.
How exactly is it “insecurity” to stand up against non-white cultures being commodified and stolen by white people? It takes a great deal of strength to deal with this shit day in and day out. If you were genuinely secure, why would you feel the need to defend the right of white women to steal? Can you not read above where this is about white women being able to make money and name and game off of PRETENDING to be non-white, while those of us who are non-white are treated like absolute shit for retaining our own cultural practices? If you don’t know that it’s HARD AS FUCK for a Black person to get a job if they have natural hair, then you are living in some white privileged la-la land.
Fuck off, and don’t reblog shit from me if you can’t contribute something worthwhile and NOT RACIST to the conversation.
AHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAA
OH MY FUCKING GOD. OH MY GOD THIS IS HILARIOUS. ANYONE WHO IS OFFENDED BY THIS NEEDS TO SHUT THE FUCK UP OH MY GOD.
PEOPLE BEING OFFENDED BY THIS ARE SERIOUSLY JUST HILARIOUS JESUS CHRIST.
And like I said, anyone
who isn’t offended by itdoesn’t understand & respect why people are offended by it is a racist piece of absolute shit who should never open their mouths or stretch their worthless typing fingers because no one cares about your hateful opinion about anything. FUCK OFF. For real, take your ugly white ass and get the fuck off my planet.Yeah, white people are just the worst.
So I really can’t help myself… are white people supposed to be offended when POC relax their hair and bleach it? Because having straight hair sux sometimes I just wish it had some texture and everyone is making fun of me by emulating my hair. :C
Bjork is fucking insane, this is common knowledge. If Lady Gaga did this same shit you’d all be kissing her toes and waiting in line for her next album. Get a grip.
And for the record, whoever made the assumption her hair is supposed to look like a natural black woman’s hair… what the shit? It doesn’t even look like hair? It looks like teased out acrylic yarn? Birds are probs hella offended by feather extensions BUT YOU DONT SEE ANYONE STICKING UP FOR THEM!!
