13414395, yo, what the fuck is wrong with people?

they turned a simple eyebrow raising "oh...huh" moment into more than what it should be.
whats the suggestion here?
that his mother is appropriating the culture?
that its funny a white lady is wearing kente cloth?
the whole family was geared up...so, we're expecting the mom to put on a plain dress and be different from the whole family?
or is this a question about her not being authentic? that she just wore it for the clout?
It might seem like I'm going hard for this, but its really not about this moment specifically.
If it's jokes then...I guess, whatever, but its been covered area, I mean, Dirk Nowitzki's wedding was a good chuckle. we laughed at the dashiki wearing white kids in 'I'm gonna git you sucka' when they read the book report on Abraham Lincoln.
If we're about to hit outrage then...really?

and no, I wouldn't give Gary O. a plate because he makes jokes black people likes.
|
13414407, I chuckled a little at first because I just saw her in the frame

But then it zoomed out to show the whole family. Then it wasn't really chuckle worthy any more.
Those are her people. There's nothing wrong or funny about her fitting in with the family
|
13414409, Thats what I'm on about. of all times to make jokes...
Posted by double negative, Fri Nov-20-20 03:53 PM
this aint it chief.
now if she were THE ONLY ONE wearing it and being extra with it like wearing fulani earrings and a headwrap while everyone else was decked out in casual gear then...yeah.
|
13414431, Damn bro. You act like this wasn’t a celebration.

I could see if she just lost her son to gun violence and wore this to a rally but it’s a fucking draft party.
I think joking someone who just hit the NBA lottery is the perfect time for a few jokes.

13414410, who is people tbh. that's the only article
Posted by Rjcc, Fri Nov-20-20 04:00 PM

Posted by legsdiamond, Fri Nov-20-20 04:44 PM
every year a draft party has a scene where people start clowning.

13414412, It was funny
Posted by legsdiamond, Fri Nov-20-20 04:11 PM
not sure where the anger is coming from.
Is that the only pattern white people are allowed to wear?
|
13414429, Right, just laugh. The shit is funny.

13414418, It is what it is, it’s funny and nobody should be offended I’m sure...
Posted by ThaTruth, Fri Nov-20-20 05:40 PM
