Japanese B-Girls Celebrate Black Culture

[Sunni Man]

When a friend sent me a clip of these self-described Japanese b-girls celebrating all things young, black and Hip Hop, I was truly blown away by just how far Hip-Hop’s reach is. I for one think it’s a positive thing, but wanted to get your opinions. With phrases like, “Black people look so great and stylish,” I can’t help but be flattered. But then there’s the “When we wear it, it looks vulgar but not with Black people” remark that leaves a question mark on my face. They even tan!

I do find it really interesting that Hina became interested in Black culture after her hair took on a “frizzier” texture. Perhaps there’s more that binds us than just Hip Hop music? What’s interesting is that it took me seeing these Japanese b-girls embrace our style to start thinking about who they are outside of the images I see of them marketed on our airwaves. I’m delighted to see the diverse sizes, hairstyles and clothes the Japanese people rock and I want to know more! One thing's for sure, I’m feeling those braids Hina! Get it!

These girls try to tan themselves as dark as they can.

If you were a Japanese woman what would you do? This is what Japanese men are like.

In Japan, 'Herbivore' Boys Subvert Ideas Of Manhood : NPR

The sensitive New Age man has finally arrived in the land of the salaryman. But there is a catch — a particularly important one in Japan, where the declining birthrate has caused alarm: The new Japanese man doesn't appear to be interested in women or sex.

In Tokyo on the weekends, the trendy area of Harajuku is a melting pot of urban tribes: Lolita goths bat their fake eyelashes, while the punks glower.

Away from the strutting are the retiring wallflowers, a quiet army of sweet young men with floppy hair and skinny jeans. These young men are becoming known as Japan's "herbivores" — from the Japanese phrase for "grass-eating boys" — guys who are heterosexual but who say they aren't really interested in matters of the flesh.

A black rapper is looking pretty good to the women if this is an example of the men.

I guess that's better than being a homo.

Because at least they aren't going around spread diseases.

My point was that Japanese women are responding to an over-hyped sexuality of black rappers. Who could blame them?

There you go again. Have you ever even set foot in Japan? Are you under the impression that Harajuku represents the entire country? Are you really eager to make a fool of yourself again?

Oh, don't tell me; there are some people in your art school...

Your eagerness to embrace ignorance is remarkable.
