Kendall Jenner has sparked a new trend, ladies and gents. Cornrow braids are officially a thing! How do I know? Well check out their gallery of blonde hair beauties rocking this brand spankin’ new hairdo. As I viewed the collection of silky tresses woven into this mysterious hairstyle, I was in awe. You know why? Because it’s far from new and it’s definitely not bold. But like many other things, white makes it right. White makes it a trend.

GROUND BREAKING!

Remember when twerking was “ghetto?” The act of shaking that ass  with your hands on your knees, once regarded as uncouth and primitive, is now America’s hottest dance craze. Upscale media personalities and broadcasts have embraced the longtime dance with open arms thanks to Miley Cyrus. Because a young white pop star did it, now it’s cool. Now it’s okay.  Now it’s appropriate for daytime television and casual conversation. White girl = safe.  In fact, the black folks who were once ashamed of twerking, for fear of being “too black,” are now at ease that this form of blackness is accepted.  I’m noticing the “Nae Nae” is getting some love now too, thanks to white basketball player Kevin Canevari breaking it down after a Mercer victory.

What bothered me the most about Marie Claire’s “story,” is that the gallery hardly included any women of color. I get that the mag doesn’t cater to non-white beauty markets. However, we can’t even be included in a gallery about a hairstyle deeply rooted in our culture? They threw in a throwback photo of Alicia Keys for diversity, I suppose.  No Solange? No Jada? Jill Scott? Brandy? Tracee Ellis Ross? I’m just thankful they did not note Bo Derek as the originator.

Hey MC, if you’re so into braids and “bold new hairstyles,” why not do some research? I’m tired of these predominantly white publications writing about topics they don’t bother to truly know. For instance, when Rick Owens used step teams in his show, the general media referred to the teams as black sororities when only one team was. The constant inaccuracies make me feel like we aren’t worthy of study. It makes me feel like, as long as we are mentioned, that should be enough. It’s not enough. And we aren’t invisible. Before you reported it, it still existed. I’m so over the Christopher-Columbus-bullshit-ass-articles (excuse the language).  If you are interested, ask, research and give credit where it’s due.
