Yes I will take about the white lady when she asked about the Braids :) So for those who don’t know and have a job or just don’t use TikTok there is this video about a lady (white woman) asking black people how much do they want at to get there hair done , seem like a normal question right ? Well it’s the way that she said “how much do YOU black girls pay for braids ?” And the internet went wild half saying that it was ok until she added the “you” because it’s like the “you people” which is said to separate white people from black people even tho we are all the same no matter what skin color or race we are and it was more like a dog whistle or a micro aggression (which I agree with this side and I will talk about micro aggression soon ) while the other half is saying that she didn’t mean no harm and that people are overreacting and the reaction was uncalled for.
Now the important question is she actually racist ?
from her reposts people found out that she is infact racist she reposted a video that was saying that the black that reacted to her micro aggression are the n word and she liked and replied saying she should’ve called black people colored people or something i don’t remember what the comment said.
It’s quite funny how some people that defended her before the reposts shit , to be honest it was obvious on the way she said it , the tone , even the fact that she was shocked that black people pay a lot of money to there hair (as if they don’t for a simple blowout but that not the point I’m just throwing shade ) they just looks stupid now which I kinda feel bad yes we should give people the benefit of the doubt and not jump to conclusions just because of a tone or a way she said it and I thought this situation will finally open doors for people to talk about micro aggression but unfortunately no one did so I will !. (Btw I did comment this in a video so if you already read this act like you didn’t lol)
This whole situation is just an example of how micro aggression and saying that you “didn’t mean it that way” or even playing the “not that deep” card like ok I get it at first when someone say a micro aggression shit they don’t realize it wether they heard it form family or friends and didn’t know that it was bad because of how little the badness is but when you get a big reaction out of what you said what a normal person would do is research or ask people from the community to explain what and why that reaction came from that sentence that was said and you will find answers (like this video great video btw good explanation for the situation and why it was offensive) then clear the air and apologize for the misunderstanding since it came out of ignorance not disrespect or racism but nooooooo they just ignore the whole explanation into why they said was offensive and completely jumps to defend themself that they absolutely did nothing wrong and YOU are crazy IM innocent which is genuinely piss me off I
Thank you so much for reading all of this , what do you think of this situation ? I would love to hear everyone opinions
