Afrocentric Prom Dress

[Liberty777]

Beautiful young woman. She needs to loose the weaves if she is representing her African heritage, besides that I give her props for standing up to the man.

This beautiful young lady was basically told by a white teacher that a African prom dress would be too much. Too her credit she has since apologized for her comment as the dress went viral. Luckily Makalaya didnt listen and was confident enough to do it anyway. I commend here for being unabashedly Black.

In an Instagram post, Zanders wrote that she created her dress to show that “African style is beautiful,” that she is “comfortable with my Melanin and roots” (loving her capitalization of the word melanin), and that “there’s nothing like Black girl Magic.”

Another black racist makes gains on our supposedly "white supremacist" system....

A young, creative Black female is acknowledged for being so, and a white supremacist whines about it. Typical.

gotta wonder if any white student was not permitted to display a reb flag ever on campus?

She looks like she stole a carpet from a Hindu.

Not sure where its from, but it sure as fuck isnt an African design. Cultural appropriation is fine, as long as you arent white and doing it.

The teacher who objected to the dress, would never have had an issue if the dress had been "traditional" or

She is beautiful and should wear whatever she wants. It isn't too revealing so I find nothing wrong with her outfit.

Lovely couple. I reckon that young man is going to get grief for stepping on her dress while they are dancing.

Not the way Africans dance.

Did she get that at the Pottery Barn in the drapes section?

Pottery Barn is about as white as you can get. I doubt it. Just because you get your clothing there doesnt mean everyone else does.

You "doubt it". So you're not sure if that she didn't get it at the Pottery Barn?

I dont care were she got it from. She could make a table cloth look good.

She looks good in that carpet.

I see nothing wrong with this dress. Matter of fact, during the 60's you saw a lot of clothes with designs like her dress on them.

Not a problem, but looking like a mermaid at the bottom looks like a bit of a chore to get around in.

That thing at the bottom is weird. I didn't go to the prom at my HS, I don't know if it's customary to have stuff like that at proms, but I've seen wedding dresses with a bunch of stuff at the bottom.

Oh, you like the flat chested ones with a big ass.

 

[Mad Scientist]

Looks like her hair is"cultural appropriation". she should have to pay white people for the privilege of wearing it like that!
