Can I suggest you the book "Yewish pirates of the Carribbean". It is very likely that the TA s|ave trade was run by Iberian Yews who were posing as New Christians from Portugal, after being banished from Europe for similar misconduct.
I stumbled upon that fact because I was doing some research as a lot of things didn't make sense to me regarding the events of that time, including the fact that many Christian Europeans were being ens|aved themselves at the time, during the Barbary s|ave trade.
I don't wear bonnets. Mostly because I'm a man and I am bald.
Yep, you can't fight racism with racism
Racism is a communist shame word coined by Trotsky.
yet than can perpetuate and empower it doing so.
I heard the old Russian fable in a Steven Pinker book about two farmers, one who had a goat and one who didn't. A magical being said they would grant the goatless farmer a single wish, anything he wanted. Instead of asking for a goat of his own, he wished for the other farmer's goat to die...
Can we please, as humans, get past this mentality?
Wow thats summs up our society 😢
My granny had wore a bonnet. She had little hair left and she hid her baldness with it. She died in the 90’s in here north Scandinavia and I can bet she never saw a single black person in her whole life. Or had ever heard of black hair care. Bonnets have been in use in white culture just as well.
A fellow Scandi here, hi! 👋🏻 I've seen ladies wear bonnets and headscarves in old Finnish movies, like in the 40's and 50's
White Brit here. The women in my family have been using head scarves and bonnets for centuries. In fact, there's documented usage of them here, among all classes, going back at least a thousand years. You're absolutely right that they have a place in white European culture (in lots of different countries) just as much as they have a place in black culture 👍
And in every other culture. How the hell can you gate-keep wearing a hat?
@@benwagner5089 by constantly playing a victim role in their life, that's how you end up with people gatekeeping things. They're miserable in their own lives and want everyone else to feel the same way.
I’m a cannabis grower and I bought a bonnet to protect my hair at work. When I first walked in, 3 white girls came to me and told me “you can’t wear a bonnet” I laughed and I told them I do whatever I want. The only 2 black employees we had both complimented my bonnet. I looked at the other girls and shook my head. 😂😂😂
What happens to your hair at work that needs protection? Just curious.
@@czerniana the cannabis trichomes are very sticky. It’s a nightmare to wash out.
Very sticky @@coralrobbins9347
No white women approached you and told you you can't wear a bonnet. Why would they care what you wear? It's sad when you have to lie to create racism, I guess. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Omg when I first glanced at your comment I thought it said cannibal grower 😂😂😂 Your real job is much better!! ❤
My curly-haired sister likes wearing a bonnet to earn herself some extra time with styled hair. That's the dang thing's purpose in her eyes, and yes we are white. If you think white women in history didn't ever bind hair to sleep in cloth, you've got a surprise coming: before the convenience of modern plumbing and other hair care tools, many things were done to preserve one's hair. Perhaps the practice was largely lost to time, meaning we had ought to thank our Black sisters for resparking the practice, but regardless, it's about _hair_ not _race_ :)
Lovely video.
Girls with very fine hair would also very much benefit from them. They need if anything more protection than curly hair.
White women and men used to wear bonnets to bed. Look up Victorian nightcaps. It’s got nothing to do with anything.
Thank you! I was thinking the same thing. White people had bonnets before black people ever saw them…historically speaking. I hope people stope this whole divisionism bs. Thank you to the content creator for this video
@@Denise-pn1tjbonnets existed during slavery times… probably predating slavery times too. Why does it have to be white people Victorian nightcaps being first before black peoples bonnets? It’s possible both races had night headwear at the same time!
Yep! Lots of Scandinavian and Slavic women also wrap their hair. My great grandma who was Swedish always wore one to bed.
@@mssophiad03 And braids in hair were common too.
@@moralityisnotsubjective5it's called a DUTCH braid. From the DUTCH people.
Im a white female and I've been struggling with health issues and I haven't left the house in a long time. My health issues prevented me from being able to take proper care of my hair so it became a bit matted and unkempt. I had some major problems with my heart that forced me to go to the hospital and my brother's girlfriend, a black woman, gave me her bonnet to wear over my hair so I wouldn't have to feel embarrassed of the state of it. When I was in the hospital there was a nurse and she was a black woman. She gave me the meanest side-eye, every time she spoke to me she was so condescending and rude and finally after about 2 hours she asked me why I felt the need to wear a bonnet. Like I said, I hadn't been out of the house in a while and was having major problems with a heart condition and I felt so uncomfortable I had to ask for a different nurse. My brother's girlfriend has given me traditional African clothing and a lot of her bonnets and stuff and been helping me with hair care so I genuinely never would have thought it would have been an issue or that it would have upset another black woman.
@@dextersteinbeiss6748 did you tell her your brother's girlfriend gave it to you?
Not that you should have to. Some people are just mean, and the worst is when they are in health care.
@@ViolettaD1485 it's so uncomfortable when people who work in healthcare are rude. And I told her it was given to me by a black woman so I could take care of my hair and she rolled her eyes. That was when I requested a new nurse
@dextersteinbeiss6748 I had a student who was a beautician. She overheard me talking about my hair problems (always fine, but I used to have a lot of it, before age and injury made it thin and brittle). She recommended I get hair products with olive oil in the black hair care aisle, and I've followed her advice ever since.
I guess that nurse expects people to ignore good advice from black people, instead of learning from them.
@@ViolettaD1485 The only reason I haven't bought my local pharmacy out of black hair care brands is because my hair is too fine and thin to take products that are geared toward (typically) much thicker hair than mine. And even then I've found some gems that I still use. Me and my 3c curly-ass hair will be taking all the advice we can get from black folks, thanks very much!
Some people have a very mean spirit. Please don't let that hurt your heart.
As a melanin challenged curly haired gal, I sleep in a bonnet or on a silk pillow case. My grandma used to get her hair done once a week and she slept on a silk pillow case. Are they coming out saying people shouldn’t have blonde hair because it’s not their natural color? Or not straighten their hair because of their natural texture? Call it racism, call it gate keeping, it’s weird to tell someone they can’t wear something because they don’t meet your definition of acceptable use. We have gotten so out of control with telling other people what they should do. I’d much prefer if people could mind their own business and only get worked up about stuff that actually matters.
THANK YOU!!!!
I am also a "melanin challenged curly haired girl" 😂 and I tried the satin pillowcase... I hated the way it felt in the summertime. It was hot and I'd get all sticky and sweaty, which definitely didn't help my hair. The bonnet has been a game changer! I won't go back.
Racism, gatekeeping, and all the divisive nonsense needs to stop. We need to come together and help each other. That's the only way we're going to make real change!
Let people do what they want, as long as they aren't hurting anyone else. 🖤
Well, sadly this is what’s happening right now. All of these seemingly trivial subject matters that everybody seems to think that they can judge on and restrict in others. Thé republicans rhetoric in such matters as pro-life, voting fraud, stating that slavery was somehow ok because it gave black people ‘skills’, that contraception should be removed, that voting constituency boundaries need to be adjusted so that black peoples votes are reduced in strength, that women’s rights should be curtailed, that women in power are just ‘angry cat ladies’, that one religion only is the one to follow, that certain behaviours, certain gender preferences are unacceptable because they do not conform to the norm, is just another way of allowing everyone to come out with restrictions on others that do not conform to the ‘norm’.
If you read project 2025 and you still vote for any republican then you are voting to become a standard conformist to the republican ideal. If you are not, you will be subjected to restrictions, you will be forced into conforming to the idealistic views of the republicans.
I mean, yes, sadly, a lot of people say the dumb stuff about black and brown people wanting to be blonde and straightening their hair 😢
💯
I’m a melanin challenge curly haired girl too and I have a silk pillowcase and a bonnet. I’m not taking any chances with my hair. (Actually, I lay in bed a lot due chronic fatigue and I don’t like wearing the bonnet during the day. At night the bonnet is to protect from my rough CPAP straps. There is method to my madness.)
"White people can't wear bonnets!" *The Pilgrims have entered the chat*
And the Amish.
And the settlers who rode their wagons westward.
SCOTTISH PEOPLE WHO MADE THE FUCKING WORD
“If it’s gonna help their hair, why shouldn’t they” as a curly girl with autism, this is such an important thought. I sometimes have days where the sensation of my hair touching my neck makes my sensory issues go wild, but the texture of bonnets, no matter the day, is calming to me. So what do I do? I put my hair in a bonnet and let it sit there, because bonnet=calming, hair down=bad
SAME! I started wearing scarves for this exact reason. No stragglers for the wind to whip in my face!
They are going to freak out when they see old pics of people in bonnets and drawings/paintings of white people in braids (before they ever went to Africa)
Yeah, braids came from the vikings. I dont ever see anyone talking about it tho
@@MsxJazziBelle wait, what?! I've never heard that one before but makes sense! So I can wear braids because of my heritage then /sarcasm, obviously
@@themindeclectic9821what we DO know is that each culture's hairstyles are very different. For example African braids which are obviously made for African hair are very damaging for white hair (even if it's kinky, there are still big differences between the two) meanwhile European braids were made for European/white hair and they're safe. Same with African vs European locs
@@MsxJazziBellewhere did you get that from? Because they didn’t
@@MsxJazziBelle Celts had them as well. Very common. And dreads. They were called fairy locks because it was believed the fair folk played with their hair while they slept and left them twisted and matted. They left it that way thinking it would offend them if they combed them out.
Also, bonnets were created by white people so this whole trying to gatekeep it off of skin color shit is so stupid
Do you have sources for this (asking because I find the topic genuinely interesting and want to know more, clothing history in particular is my favorite with hair/other textiles both coming in as close seconds)
Inventor and businesswoman, Wethersfield's Sophia Woodhouse (1799-1883) was one of the first female entrepreneurs of the Greater Hartford area. Plying her trade during the early 19th century, Sophia developed an innovative technique for treating, drying, and braiding spear grass to make high quality bonnets.@@linneathesystemsdruid308
@@linneathesystemsdruid308 I did a short google and it seems we can thank Madame C.J. Walker (a black lady) for taking back the bonnet for black women (can't post links or YT will take my comment away). So headwraps are a thing in Africa but also many other cultures but European women used it as more of a status symbol and most other cultures use it for necessity (or sometimes religion). These were all invented separately so when slavery was in full swing (not that it ever stops but I mean the enslavement of Africans in America specifically) it was taken away from black women as a way of hurting/disempowering them (if the nobles in Europe wear it for status then you can't have your slaves wearing the same thing right?), which is where Madame C.J. Walker comes in. So while some white people created bonnets, it seems like something that kept getting invented across many cultures (kind of like braids- every culture has variations of braids and they can be anything from symbolic culturally/religiously to just plain practical).
Deep dive on bonnets aside, gatekeeping how people look is really dumb unless there is a religious connotation if you ask me. Like I would never put on a turban or some sacred monk outfit because that's not my culture and it means a lot to someone else so I wouldn't want to hurt/offend them but at the same time I'm multi-racial and shouldn't be chased off from learning or experiencing my own heritage just because the whiteness won out in my genetics, you know? Living in Canada makes cultural identity a strange and difficult concept because I'm not black or native or Acadian enough for it to count in the eyes of the government so I just put Caucasian on forms even though I'm not. My German genetics seem to have won out the most but I'm just as much black as I am German so I'm sort of in ethnicity limbo, unsure of what I can or cannot do.
TLDR: Some things (i.e. native headdresses) are sacred and shouldn't be appropriated by people who don't respect/understand their origins and cultural/religious significance but other things are just part of a culture's fashion and I think it's totally fine to emulate. I mean you might look silly to some people but you should wear what you like right? Haters can give their head a shake :) we're all human after all
P.S. Sorry for the length
@@chihauhaun don't apologise, your comment was very insightful, thanks for sharing 💕
@chihauhaun Don't apologize, I very much enjoyed reading your comment. Knowledge is meant to be shared.
I bought a bonnet bc you said I could. Thank you for showing ALL of US how and why we need a bonnet! I bought one for me and one for my daughter. 🥰
People have been wearing "night caps" before silk bonnets. Check your history.
They can barely read.😂
Thank you. I've been trying to find the lady who sells the bonnets, I had seen her and couldn't find her again. She's got some super cute ones, and if it'll help my hair, I'm all in!
Obstreperous hair knows no boundaries. Finding the best way to manage it can’t hinge on skin color/race.
Hair is hair!
I still want one of those bonnets! I have one, but it leaves marks on my forehead because of the elastic. Plus, it's too tight.
These seem just right!!
All you gotta do is watch some classic movies and you will quickly see that we do, in fact, put up our hair in a bonnet or scarf before bed just like anybody else! 😂
Well I've never seen a woman do that. But yes, why not do it if you want to
The chorus of "Bonnie Dundee"
Come fill up my cup, come fill up my can
Come saddle my horses and call out my men
Unhook the west port and let us gae free
For it's up wi' the bonnets of Bonnie Dundee!
The Scottish Bonnet or Bunnet has been around since the 16th century. Look up Scottish Bonnets for examples of Tam O' Shanter, Glengarry, Balmoral. Scotland can have fairly cold weather and people need good warm headwear especially in winter.
As a Mexican American kid in the early 2000s we'd go visit family in Mexico, but we got one "shower" the whole time we were there. Basically we got a pot of water dumped on us and used 3 in 1 shampoo and shit, but I have textured hair. Sand and everything would get into my hair and make me miserable. One year my Japanese American step mom was like my step daughter is miserable when we're in Mexico. Her black coworker told her so braid her hair?? At the time when she told me she was going to braid my hair I was like umm I don't think that's for me? Step mom said no my coworker said it's ok. We're doing this to protect your hair. For the first time in years I wasn't scratching my scalp till it bled because of the sand
"Any" people can't is a direct challenge in my opinion.
It is part of my basic personality to thank "can't" as a challenge and respond with "wanna bet?"
@@tessalynne6778 same
On the topic of bonnets, they are wonderful for my long fine straight hair. No more rats nests in my hair in the morning and therefore less breakage from removing them.
I love that this video exists. I grew up being as open-minded to all races as much as possible while receiving racial comments against me for me being fair toned. I get white hate, and im just a pale Greek. I hope more people see that racism is wrong to to anyone. There is no reverse racism either. It's just racist. Let's build a better world where all become equal, loved, and respected.
Talk about holding a grudge against a people while most of them have done nothing to you
Ohhhh, now I’m laugh-crying! I wasn’t expecting what I got! My first thought when starting this video was…”and who is going to be the one to tell the Amish and Mennonite woman they’re being “racists”?? Lol! Alrighty…now that I’ve screwed that all up…I’m out. Lol!
THANK YOU ugh I've been so sick of this, but, as a white person, I've stayed quiet because anything I say to the contrary would be considered racist by some people.
And you awesome for sharing her, and your opinion on this subject as well. Bless you 😊
My Granny and G Granny wore bonnets ( and braids ) all the way back to 1854. Even if the hadn't...I wear what I want❤
I love this. We should be happy to share our cultures and especially hair care tips with each other!! It doesn’t matter what your skin color is, women especially need to stop gatekeeping things that would help other women!
Definitely! ❤
Because if they don’t have something to get “offended” about, then how can they maintain their “victim” status… that’s what this comes down to it seems 🤔
Y’know I feel like this is really refreshing to see, cause I do get a lot of random people trying to make me seem racist by being racist TO me. It doesn’t really make sense but people assume just because I look white that I hate black people and that’s just not true, I don’t care what the color of your skin is, if you’re a good person and we mesh well then that’s all that matters to me.
I wore a bonnet for years, but lost it in a recent move. Just ordered a new silk one from you! Thank you for being such a bright light! 💜
I’m a white woman with very straight, blond hair. My daughter’s hair was just like mine until she hit puberty. Now she has the most beautiful curly golden brown hair. I had no idea how to take care of it. I have watched videos about black & biracial hair to learn. Yes, she does wear a bonnet now, and we use a pick instead of a comb. Thanks for letting us take a little from black heritage to care for this child’s beautiful curls!
Totally agree! But one thing that’s funny is her big problems are things akin to not being able to wear box braids without criticism, and at the other end the big problems are akin to things like fair lending practices from financial institutions and implicit bias in medicine leading to bad (even fatal) patient-care outcomes at an exponentially higher rate.
Also white women have been rocking bonnets for….centuries 😅 sure they looked a bit different, but they served the same purpose.
Everybody has done crappy things to each other. What we all need to do is stop lumping everyone into one group, don't defend or stand up for people that do wrong and we have to forgive and figure a better way to progress our lives together!
hairstyles like box braids actually shouldn't be worn by white people - not because of any kind of gatekeeping or whatever, but because white hair isn't made for those hairstyles. what is considered a protective style for someone with 4C hair could be very damaging for straight white person hair.
that said, everyone can benefit from a bonnet. they're rad.
Braids came from the vikings, tho. And I've seen some white girls with very curly hair that can pull it off. I had box braids growing up, and my babysitter loved putting braids and beads in my hair. Im Puerto Rican with thick, wavy curls. My hair is damaged from decades of bleaching.. I wish my hair could withstand braids again.
@@MsxJazziBellethat's a different style of braids made specifically for white people hair and it's safe for that. Aside from the common textures of each race, there's still some differences
@@MsxJazziBelle African peoples were braiding before the Vikings came to be, though.
@@lysanamcmillan7972are you saying the Vikings came to Africa and pillaged braids? Or maybe they developed braids independently? Should we only allow the first culture to develop the wheel to use it when it was invented in many cultures around the world?
@@lysanamcmillan7972and the oldest known mention of dreadlocks is a text about the God Shiva from 2500-1500BC so what's your point? Hairstyles have developed both through cultural exchanges perpetuate by trade and via a type of cultural convergent evolution since human beings began. Unless it's of a specifically sacred nature it's for everyone.
My hair is to my knees so being given permission was great. Bonnets are like a little house on the prairie thing anyway.
I'd be flattered if anyone copied anything of mine, braids, bonnets, clothes, whatever.
As mexican-american woman with 3b curly hair brunette. Idgaf. Bonnets with soft velvet scrunchies & slik pillow cases is a LIFESAVER!!!!
There was a similar story of a white woman with very curly hair who struggled to take care of it her whole life until she went to a black owned salon and started using their products. White People told her she had no right and that she was just stealing from the black community and she confessed it made her feel terrible, despite the fact that it was the only stuff that actually worked, and she was told by black people that if that's what she needs, she has every right to it as well. It's not about race or culture, it's about what works best for each individual
Old white lady here. My daughter bought myself and her sisters )we all have curly hair) bonnets from a TikToker who makes and sells them. Best thing to ever happen to my hair!
I don't listen to people who try to tell me what I can and can't do. The end.
Been wearing bonnets almost every night since I started growing my hair out again. And if I had to stop wearing bonnets for some reason, I would cut it short again. I have short hair in my pfp, but I have hair all the way down to my waist at the moment.
Don't ever go to work at a food processing plant. Everyone wears a form of hair bonnet. Even men, along with beard nets.
Check out an episode of Little House on the Prairie and you will see most women wore bonnets to bed.
Thank you for this message.
I don’t wear bonnets, but that hot pink Chanel bonnet is so cool, I’m tempted to look her up and buy. I hope she’s making bank.
Good on you and bravo to the female entrepreneur who clearly stated marketing her beautiful bonnets to all women!!!!!!!
It’s the difference between “racism” and “systemic racism.” The latter is the one that has to do with the power dynamic, etc.
Affirmative action is an unearned advantage based on race. It can be observed both systematically and individually.
Systemic racism requires a system. Show me the system, its design and how it is maintained. Systemic racism is a woke myth. It doesn't exist.
Little house of the prairie has women wearing bonnets during the day and nightcaps at night. Old paintings show women with various hair coverings, various braids. With mom in her kerchief and me in my cap, we settled down for a long winters nap. Amish right now, always have their hair covered.
😅 I sleep with one. AND with a silk pillow case. My hair is very curly.
I think a bonnet is all about HAIR, not about the tone of one's skin 😜
Saying white women can't wear bonnets is like saying black women can't wear wigs, especially blonde ones.😂😂😂
While I appreciate your perspective, the real issue is that "blacks" did not "invent" braids, bonnets, Stonehenge, build America (they just worked on a portion of it), or any of the shit being touted. To hear it told everything comes from the black civilizations. Let me just ask this, "If that is correct, why are the black societies/civilizations of Africa still in the 8th century? Why are they still fighting the tribal conflicts from millenniums ago?" Have blacks contributed to civilization? Of course. But this misappropriation of everything as black (the Scottish people were originally black?) is an embarrassing position to take and only reinforces the Amos and Andy stereotype. Stop it.
People seem to forget other cultures wore bonnets ,
The oldest documented case
Ireland and Scotland,
it was about keeping their head warm.
1400 worn to bed by both men and women.
1500 women began wearing them during the day..
Unfortunately England takes credit for their" in the 1800 1900s
There was a time frame I was wearing the long ones to bed because my hair kept tangling up. It worked too! When I don't straighten it, I have natural wavey hair that can tangle easily.
I believe we can wear whatever the hell we want, thank you.
Facts and a great msg. I hope the USA can find her heart again. Let people be people and stay out everyones business.
My great-grandma wore bonnets, especially to bed. She was white as white could be an immigrant from Sweden.
I've had very long hair most of my life. I have fine hair and it tangles easily. When I was younger I often kept it braided to protect it. Now that I'm older and have nerve damage in my arms and hands its almost impossible to braid my own hair. So, bonnets are my go to for sleeping otherwise it quickly becomes a matted tangled mess.
I saw the word bonnet and was thinking Amish bonnet or Little House on the Prairie. Night caps or sleeping caps have been worn all over the world by many ethnic groups.
But yes it is racist to say we cant wear wigs (British & English people wore them) or braids (vikings & Scottish/Irish & Dutch wore braids). And besides it had nothing to do with skin color. It has everything to do with segregation, to not be united as a people. Its a good strategy but people, like this man, are waking up. Americans are not that stupid.
Regardless if only black women use bonnets or not , here in the US there’s no law that prohibits white folks from wearing bonnets , getting dreads or wearing clothes outside their culture. Some people want to dictate what others can and can’t do.
Bonnets are for EVERYONE🤦🏽♀️ . I have white friends that wear them like who cares.
Why only women?
Anyone and everyone can take care of their hair however needed.
The Bonett is a 13th century French styled headgear for women.
It was designed by the indigenous French people.
Bonnets originated in Europe.
God I hate it here.
She is so awesome!! ❤
Cultural appropriation can be pretty gross but utilitarian solutions like bonnets and protective hairstyles should be for everyone. Some clever social science oriented person must have come up with guidelines to determine the difference.
Hey I'll make a deal with all of you. When there is no more "sunset towns" in America, then it will be no longer appropriation. Any takers?
My youngest daughter was told not to wear her tight braids because it was cultural appropriation. I told her then don't wear them, or do its her choice. I say this not to be racist, my grandkids are mixed race and are proud of their heritage. It was odd, but its a far cry from the systemic racism America spews every day.
I didn't even know bonnets were a Black thing. I know bonnets have been used for 100s of years especially in the days when there wasn't heat..people wore them to bed to keep their heads warm..My mom in the 60s 70s wore one on her head to bed after a beauty porlour appt when the high bouffant hairdoes were in style.. When I was a kid my mom put pin curls in my hair and I slept with a bonnet. How ridiculous to claim a bonnet to a certain race.
Wear your bonnet!! I’m biracial and my kids are half Latino and we all wearing them!!! I love you my sisters of every color!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you for your words
Once upon a time in the not too distant past , nearly all women wore head covering to protect their hair. Some scarves for sleeping in, some for going out in. Hair nets (not just for working aroundI food) . In more recent times better versions have been invented for sleeping in, thank goodness because trying to sleep with a head scarf on and keep it on was a nightmare. This could result in hair that looked like person had been used as a floor mop in their sleep. People really need to look at historical looks and fashion through the ages before getting themselves all bunched up. The other thing that was fashion and socially expected for women regardless of colour was to wear gloves out in public regardless of weather. Its actually quite interesting! I don't mean the catwalk fashions, I mean real fashion that real women wore.
I laugh at people saying white people can’t wear bonnets like how are you going to stop them 😂 😂
She's race baiting for tiktok likes
This is actually funny. I’m white, and my ex boyfriend is black. One day we were visiting his mother, and a certain point she started complaining about white women. Don’t remember exactly what. Suddenly she realized that I’m a white woman. She took my hand, saying: “that’s not about you sweetie, you’re not white”.
That was so sweet.
Ha! Bonnets started in ITALY. You're welcome!
Who the hell would want to? Bonnets look goofy af.
Something you put on a child or old lady 😂
The first time I saw one of my students wearing a bonnet, I was super confused. It's the same style of cap I wore when doing Renaissance reenactments... Why on Earth was my 13 year old student wearing a hat that was popular in England 500 years ago? 😂 I have no idea where/when these hats originated, but blk people certainly don't have a monopoly on them.
I wish I could wear some of the beautiful African print fabric as a dress but I’m afraid to be called out for appropriating. But it’s beautiful and should be celebrated by all races shouldn’t it? I don’t know 🤷🏻♀️ I wish there was an easy answer and more open minded ppl like the two in this video and many in the comments 💜
There’s a great fashion store in the UK called Kemi Telford. They sell the prettiest clothes made with African prints. Their models are all ages, sizes and ethnicities. They sell online.
@@merrymartin3335 thank you for mentioning it. I’ll check it out! I also really love Indian block print fabric. I’m so tired of fast fashion clothes
Up until reading some other comments here, all I can think is when the hell did bonnets make a comeback?? Of course, I'm thinking Little House on the Prairie bonnets-- thank God I got that wrong! Apparently what you younglings call bonnets, we used to call hair/head wraps...
On the racism front: God doesn't make mistakes (humans do), and variety really is the spice of life! If we all looked the same, it would be awfully damn boring! There are good/bad people in *every* race/religion. Take each person as the individuals we are. Stay happy, healthy and safe, all!😊
Women and men all over the world have worn hair coverings for centuries. Cultural stuff. Or bad hair day!
White women have been wearing bonnets for centuries . As a white man i have no problem with non European imitating our dress style at all . When i see a person of colour wearing a suit i dont accuse them of cultural appropriation. I accept it as part and parcel of an integrated multicultural society .
@itsmecc11216 makes EXCELLENT bonnets. Shipped fast, beautiful, just as pictured and described, and PROTECTIVE!! FOR the first time, I'm not waking up with broken hairs on my pillow. Will be returning to shop more as my hair grows, in shaa Allah. ❤
I discovered why bonnets are so popular recently. They are great at keeping my frizzy hair smooth and so that I don't have a birds nest in the morning. I will continue wearing one, they are not shade specific. 😂
Sometimes I'm having a bad week and my hair looks crazy lol. So I wear a bonnet to go to the store and not be judged on how my hair looks. I never thought it could be seen as a racial thing.
The main problem with the power structure argument is that it falls apart as soon as you leave "the West". For example, let's say that I go to Ghana. By the logic of "power structures", I cannot be racist in Ghana no matter what I do, because whites in Ghana do not hold institutional power. But I guarantee not a single one of these people would agree with that assessment in spite of the fact that, by their own reasoning, it must be objectively true.
YAS!! 💯 dark skinned people do some smart things with skin, hair and fashion care ! We love it and would like to benefit too !
My mother was born in the early 1940’s. she made herself bonnets to cover her hair at night and for when her hair was drying while in rollers.
Now….how about the Amish, Mennonite and Hutterite women….all wear bonnets. I’m 65 now, but when I was very young, my Danish Gran braided my hair
In what she called Dutch braids. Not one culture can claim rights to braids or bonnets. It’s ridiculous.
It’s not a contest. People need to deal with their issues and not project rubbish on others. This is really sad.
Thank you for addressing the elephant in the room! Also, just curious, can men wear them too?
The young man at the end is the hopeful future of America.
A few years back I handmade an old Victorian bonnet for my daughter who was into that sort of stuff. White women and men have been wearing bonnets since forever. Heck, even the romans were wearing bonnets
If those people arguing white people cant wear bonnets, should go to a Renaissance Fair, the most common hat for a 1400s person is called a muffin cap, which is a bonnet.😂
My Czechoslovakian grandmother wore bonnets all the time to keep her curlers in place. 🙄
As a White girl with naturally curly hair if I don't do something with that when I'm sleeping it breaks my hair, dries it out and knots up. and I end up with brittle hair. That's not pretty
I'd wear one simply because they're beautiful.🤷♀️
My white great grandma wore bonnets every day. She died at age 100 in the 80s. White women have always worn bonnets. Especially when they were fashionable 100 years ago. Yes, I am old enough to remember someone who was born in 1880.
My, very white, mom and aunt and grandma all wore bonnets for hair breakage and Hairdo preservation
Culture is shared and learned. Food, clothing , makeup, music all traveling around the world and returning with new colors and styles and flavors. What was old is new again, what is new become old.
Culture is clean water, food security, sanitation, and a safe, civilized society.
Genetics come from culture.
The ability, or inability, to build a civilized community is genetic.
Fashion trends, food, and slutty dancing are personal preferences not culture.
We have to call things what they really are.
That woman in a imitation Dior bonnet voicing her unjustified grievance about evil white supremacists wearing satin bonnets is the dumbest, most superficial, race baiting that I've heard all day.
Didn't white Europeans invent all of those things a LONG time ago in the first place?
Like back in the Victorian era?
Maybe even further back?
Wigs, dutch braids, etc?
So who is really appropriating whose culture?
