And what culture is that?
American culture in the historical trend of glorifying white people
I think you’ve got that backwards; I have seen far more hostile directed at white people wearing cornrows and dreadlocks than black people for wearing them. Below are a few examples of hostility directed towards white people with such hair styles.
I mean, if you want to cherry pick, sure, that's not what I was saying with criticism of black people in wearing it, because a negative view can just suggest an unfair standard of what beauty is, even with the "black is beautiful" movement that was meant to counter those ideas
Can you provide a few examples of hostility towards black people for such styles?
I don't have to, because you're putting words in my mouth, I never said hostility, a specific form of negativity that I did not entail with the double standard
If what you said were true, there would be a lot of complaints; I bet you couldn’t even provide one example; could ya?
Again, you're confusing complaints with a biased view that white people still tend to have in regards to particular hairstyles that are common with black people, the kind of white glorification I'm talking about, where black people are still othered.
I personally have a problem with the term “people of color” because the term was born from bigotry. It was originally coined back in the late 1700’s by racist white people to separate themselves from black and brown people, it eventually fell out of fashion till the 1970’s when black and brown bigots brought the term back in an effort to unite themselves against white people. Any term born of hatred and bigotry is a term I have a problem with.
Pretty sure they called them "colored", not people of color, which seems to ahve origins in French with regards to mixed race people, not in a derogatory manner. But in English, there is a potential overlap, I'll accept, with colored as a racial slur against black people and people of color, which would be intended as a distinction
Interpreting it as racist is not the same as demonstrating that it was used that way. And no, POC is not used in the weaponized fashion you claim it is with no evidence beyond painting a group in that manner. There are objections these days in the consideration of BLM, that it might be a form of black erasure, but that's a separate issue from whether the expression is necessarily racist or bigoted.
When society regards whiteness as the norm and it pretty conclusively did for centuries, that isn't just going to go away with technological advances and society moving forward in some form or fashion, it's still going to be there
The Perils of “People of Color”
No; you didn’t use the word “possibility”.
If you don't think people are fired because of something very specfic like dressing in black face, fine, I didn't say it was absolutely the case.
Again; if what you said were true, she would not have tried to claim to be Native American in the first place because it would have hurt her chances of becoming president. The reason this practically 100% white lady tried to claim another race is because it would have helped her chances of being president, and this white privilege you speak of is not as much of a benefit that you think it is.
That's dishonestly assuming she did that purely for that reason and not because she genuinely believed she was and was making an attempt at solidarity. You're ascribing malicious intent here instead of accepting that it was out of ignorance.
No one's 100% white, I'm pretty sure any white person will find what is DNA that has markers indicative of African descent, given that, if I'm not mistaken, all humans can trace their ancestry, or certainly most of us, to African ancestors
Actually it is a benefit, because there is the benefit of the doubt, white people aren't treated the same for the same issues where people of color would do the same thing. Rachel Dolezal is another good example, it was seemingly years before anyone called her out on that because she was a white person claiming she was black
