Your post has been reported. You should have better things to do with your life than to call people names or support the harassment of a 12 year old. It is NOT stealing anyone's culture to braid one's hair. It IS appreciating a culture if one copies it as exploration and as a form of flattery or to simply braid one's hair and it happens to look in a way that another culture uses. Something as simple as a braid does not belong to one culture. Something like a Bantu knot might be closer to that, but again, you kindly ask the individual what is in their heart. I can assure you the 12 year old was not stealing from anyone but honoring them. You have no other stories on Medium. Did you create this account to harass me? If so, please rethink yourself.

As for me being White, you're obviously prejudiced. I am not considered White, and I do not come from any family who owned slaves at all, both sides of my family were Slavic people in Poland, Slovakia and Lithuania at the time slavery happened. Please learn more about others.
