Question

and i'm not a racist or anything so dont even go there...................

Answer 1

Some one is always out to hassle you for your style, it doesn't matter if it's in your own community or some one else's.
I braid hair, and find more white people offended by white people doing that than the other way around.

I think the main thing with any hair style is to make sure it looks right, on you. Braids can be done in many hundreds and thousands of styles. If you had it done and it didn't look exactly right, then pick a different style, or go to a different braider. As far as music choice goes, it is useless these days to limit your self to any one flavor, or exclude any flavor or style of music. If you listen long enough there is bound to be something from every genera that will grab your attention. (that's why we have so many cross over artists coming out, they are trying to make a point)

Answer 2

I think it is a personal choice to what you wear, and what you listen to. I just think that they are in admiration of the hip hop culture here in Amercia. After all, there are people who are engrossed in the Asian culture. They collect swords, eat the ethnic dishes, take Tai Chi classes. Is that weird? No, because white people, black, people, and many other races of people participate in other cultural affairs. I just think it's a line bewteen trying to be something that you are not, and just admiring someone for who they are! All of us that live in America already know that white people listen to rap, and embrace the culture just as well meaning as black people. We all know that white people are some of biggest supporters of the rap industry! Though the music can be derogatory with expilcit lyrics, it is becoming more and more accepted as the norm, as much as the homosexual and gay agenda. Though most do not agree with it! That is what America is all about, we all are people from everywhere, and if we can't embrace one another what's left is a country divided against itself! Anything that is divided will fall!

Answer 3

Well all black people don't think alike. Your question indicates that you might not understand that. That's why you might get accused of racism. Because from my point of view your question contains implicit racism. Because the way it's worded assumes that black people are alike in some way, which is called stereotyping. Probably some black people think it's weird and others don't. Just explaining why your question will be interpreted as racist.

Answer 4

I'm cool with the listening of rap. Once you go into wearing braids, that's just ignorace on the white boy!

Answer 5

Well i dont think they think its weird but I think its weird some ppl act like black ppl by wearing their pants below their bum and walking as if they've got some sore in between their bums or as if one leg is short.
Is what they mean is acting like a bad boy LOL but when the guns on their point blank head the pants come up wet ,and the legs straightens up. And all hoods go down and gangster song becomes kinda hatred song....lol

Answer 6

They probably think that its funny. I know for a fact that my sister listens to rap alot but doesnt wear her hair in braids...that I've seen black people laughing at her....it was funny though...

Answer 7

I'm not accusing you of being racist, but it's questions like this that remind us of racial differences.

There should be no such thing as "black" style and "white" style. It's all the same, we're all the same.

Questions like this build racism up rather than break it down.

Answer 8

I have to admit, I probably have done a double take when I see a white person with braids, but I don't think it's weird.

Answer 9

i myself don't get any warmth from different white human beings at my college. i'm specific there is somebody at my college who thinks that white human beings might desire to take heed to "white song", yet fortuitously, I even have not met that guy or woman. whilst human beings [black or white] locate out I pay attention to hip-hop, they are frequently greater stunned than something, because of the fact i do no longer positioned on Rocawear or Wu-Tang prolonged kinfolk shirts [even with the indisputable fact that I wish I had a Wu-Tang prolonged kinfolk shirt]. I gown what some human beings might evaluate "emo" or "hipster". I even have particularly long black hair and my denims and garments are often tighter setting up. I do pay attention to a pair rock song, yet i might say I pay attention to hip-hop greater of the time. yet a important sort of the black human beings at my college are rather cool with me. they are going to be like, "Oh cool, I pay attention to that too" or despite. I additionally agree, I hate the notice "wigger".

Answer 10

Probably no more than white people who find it weird (note proper spelling) that black people dye their hair blonde and wear preppy clothes! Everyone is an individual, entitled to express themselves.
