This is what she tweeted as she shared a photo of herself in braids in Barbados…and she got really positive responses
Cultural appropriation according to Wikipedia “is the adoption or use of elements of one culture by a member or members of a different culture”
The girl probably apologized in order to avoid a backlash from Black twitter. Some white girls have been previously attacked online by Black twitter for wearing braids and corn-rows because, according to them; braids are part of black culture and therefore should not be worn by whites.
But her apology was unnecessary as no black was offended by it

Great article.
I’m not sure exactly why but this website is loading incredibly slow for me. Is anyone else having this problem or is it a problem on my end? I’ll check back later on and see if the problem still exists.
Good post. I learn something new and challenging on sites I stumbleupon everyday. It’s always interesting to read content from other authors and practice something from other web sites.
@lloyd glo especially, apology of a thug!!
