In solidarity with anti-racism..... how stupid. Don't be a racist. That is solidarity with anti-racism.
She was only wanting info on the racial undertones of a White woman wearing an Afro wig. I don't see how that makes her racist.
Seems you think that everyone with a question pertaining to 'race' is a racist.
I didn't say she/he was a racist. I said the best way to show 'solidarity with anti-racism' (whatever the hell that means) is to not be a racist.
I see no racism in wearing a wig.... personally I think the OP is being more than a tad over sensitive to racism.

Okay, I thought you were telling her not to be a racist because you put it as one sentence. It may have been a bit easyer to understand if it was included with the sentence after, like: 'Don't be a racist, that is solidarity with anti-racism'.
I'm white and I intend to have a curry for lunch. What a racist bastard I must be!
As long as you don't dress for lunch in a sari you should not be considered racist.I'm white and I intend to have a curry for lunch. What a racist bastard I must be!

Hi All,
I'm writing to gain insight regarding the racial undertones of a white woman buying and wearing an afro wig.
I am only interested in buying and wearing an afro wig because I think they are cool. The wig would NOT be used as any part of a Halloween costume, or worn with mockery or any sort of humor. I would wear the wig out (probably to a club, or the bar) in solidarity with anti-racism.
While my intentions are "good," is this still exotification of black people? I worry that it is.
Insights welcome, especially from African American women.

That's a mature response, Mad Scientist. I'm talking about racism here, not sexism. Thanks for belittling my sincere request for information!

seems like a very silly question for your first thread....

What does 'easyer' mean?
What is the paradigm that society has instilled in most of us?but if you truly want to show yourself as a non-racist and an embracer of your human brothers/sisters you have to consciously work to change the paradigm that society has instilled in most of us. . . .
