We as Black women ARE always attacked. Yet, other cultures want to steal and imitate and deem it trendy smh. All the models looked a hot mess with them clothes, on another note.
Yeah, I agree. That's why its mess up. At times I think we are pressure to wear weaves and things by society(even black society) because that is the standard. There are cases of black women being fired for wear their hair in locks, cornrows, or fros.
Preach my brother! I'm Afro"-Caribbean and the same shit is in our schools, black hair has to be kept "neatly''. when the Rastafarian community started growing in the Caribbean people were denied jobs and placement in schools, it still happens but its a bit more accepted now because its a religion. black people bodies are policed all over the world.
I'm South African and the deal with schools here is that as black girls, there are so many rules for us when it comes to hair. We're not allowed to ave our natural hair, dreadlocks, afro, 2 or more colours, etc. But the white kids are allowed to do all that. When we speak out, we're threatened with suspension or expulsion. I've have to experience this in all 4 schools I've been in. Now do you have any idea how fucked up it is to practically be illegal on your own land?
See this is way I have not and will not purchase his merchandise. And by the way I don't think that this is his first time going down this road. I seem to recall some controversy surrounding another show that he had and his models wearing Bantu knots. Hmmmm,I'm just not here for is foolishness.
People where mad at zendaya for having dreads but it's fine when it's a white person? Alrighty then and everyone saying that Celtics and Vikings had dreads that's not the point they didn't naturally have them they could have combed their dreads out, but some black people do naturally have dreads and they get discriminated against for having their natural hair... so of course they feel they have to straighten their hair because they are criticised for it and it's a shame because their natural hair is soooo beautiful, I'm white and even I can see the problem
Also my hair is curly and thick so idk what he's talking about when it comes to black women with straight hair because straight hair don't belong to white peoples anyone can have straight hair
I haven't commented on a video in over 10 years, smh, but I logged in to say, your video was perfect to me, THANK YOU for standing up for black women, because we do take alot, and yes, please do a "You tried it" series, lol Love you, peace . . .
Maybe INITIALLY, we (Black women) straightened our hair in order to conform to European beauty standards, but it's a new day & an overwhelming amount of us are embracing our own natural hair! Even still, we NEVER altered our hair with an intent to discredit, appropriate, or mock anyone with straight hair! THAT'S the difference, Marc Jacobs!!
Very impressed by your knowledge in general but amazed by your accurate information on black hair, I loved the demonstration! Going to check out the Ryan Lochte you tried it video right now, I never thought I'd say this but I'll watch power later!
I appreciated everything that you have said all true and sad we are very great creative and intelligent ppl and are stolen from the most im just so over any of this kind of shit
so important!! thank you for posting this..this is one of the reasons why I'm so put off by the fashion industry, it's incredibly eurocentric, and "progressive" is only a viable term to use of the industry in relation to the actual clothing and fabric...
My first time watching you was on the commentary of the music teacher which is great! Now I am curious to know why do you have obey on you’re hat obey who?
hey Calvin. when I went to school in Ghana if you had one drop of anything that wasn't black.like if you were mixed with white or Asian or anything that wasn't black you get to keep your hair and if you were fully black you had to cut your hair. and that's for girls only. pretty sad
I like how you acknowledged the diversity within the black race. Rami Malek (mr. robot) is African (Egyptian). Troy Palamalu isn't black but he's Samoan which is technically Asian. John stamos is white. All races are diverse and I hope we can all love ourselves and each other.
Have you done Julie Chen (Moonves)She tried it with Camille Cosby? Because she is now on the hot seat after using her show 'The Talk' to vilify Bill Cosby and criticize Camille for standing by her husband but once the shoe was on the other foot she made the choice to stand by les moonves.
I agree. But, to me, after some critical thinking... I believe that race is a social construct. Race is based on status. Look at Asia, or Russia, or India... they call those below "Caste" "BLACK". In other words... if you are poor in these places, you are black. If you look at a black person, are we black? Literally? No. Is a white person actually white? No. Where did black and white even come from? That's the question we need to ask. I am Crucian/Caribbean-Afro-American. Not black. You are Afro-American. Not black. I'm unsubscribing from the race matrix. It's tiring. I do, however, still support standing up for "Black" lives, economy, cultures, flavors. I'll never stop supporting.
sweetie new subbie your so on point I have. dark reddish brown skin big ole booty I didn't ask for wide full hips thick thighs full breast kinky spongy hair and I'm discrimination all day every day speak that truth
I'm a black woman and I agree with Marc 😱😱😱 take out that damn straight hair before you criticise people for wearing locks!! Black women and weave and perm is such a norm they act like it naturally grows out their scalp like that! No honey, in reality your hair appropriating!!.....now that colour blind statement is nonsense.
why does everyone assume that all black hair is 4c? i have 4c hair but not all of us have coily hair. there are plenty of black women with straighter hair types
Tiffany Dash i will say i dont know what hair type is most prevalent in the black community. I will say that whenever we are depicted in the media without weave, etc, its almost always 4c hair thats shown and i think thats bc thats the message that the media wants to send. You know we have more flavors than a pack of skittles lol but they dont show all our shades and differences. They go for two types, thr mixed looking type, or the obviously black type. I say all that to say this: who knows....maybe 4c isnt the most prevalent hair type. How would we know otherwise when there are millions of us and im sure no statistician has taken interest in that. MJ is a racist POS. If he were so diverse he would feature lots more POC in his shows.
hi Tiffany. I can honestly say that I have a corporate job, and when I wore box braids or natural hair styles I got pulled aside and told it was not professional. I want to be taken seriously and I want to grow economically, so I had to cover up my hair. please consider this. I love my natural fro but I want to keep my job.
I agree with many of your points in this video but whilst jacobs response amy not have been appropriate and black women are critisced for wearing dreads, locks, etc. that shouldn't stop jacobs from featuring such styles in his show
We're so over fed with American culture and Americans seem to think the world revolves around them, Marc Jacobs was inspired by British counterculture, specifically rave culture in the 80's and 90's which saw people attach multi coloured 'dread' like hair pieces to their hair. Please tell me how pastel coloured wool is a direct imitation of your hair.
To offer a counter point: African American women have been wearing multicolored dreads for decades. This trend has existed even longer in Jamaica, another predominantly black culture. I only offer this information for additional context.

THANK YOU THANK YOU. HAND CLAPS. PLEASE PREACH!!!! I SEE COLOR! I SEE A EDUCATED BLACK MAN EVERY TIME I WATCG YOUR VIDEOS . THANKS FOR ALL YOU DO
Why haven't you got more views. You are amazing.
Yassssss. My thoughts exactly. Beautiful and well spoken man
We as Black women ARE always attacked. Yet, other cultures want to steal and imitate and deem it trendy smh. All the models looked a hot mess with them clothes, on another note.
always on point with your topics, views, and responses!!!
The funniest cultural appropriation that I heard of is boxer braids. AKA white people wearing corn rows
Marc Jacobs also claimed "mini buns" aka white ppl wearing Bantu knots in their hair. Smh..
I don't mind non black people wearing African/black hairstyles. Do not hate on us for wearing our hair the way it is and the copy it?
+Topg1 yeah or claim that it's a new style you've created.
i just hate how it's unprofessional(in certain settings) for blacks to wear cornrows but it becomes a fucking trend when another race wears it.
Yeah, I agree. That's why its mess up. At times I think we are pressure to wear weaves and things by society(even black society) because that is the standard. There are cases of black women being fired for wear their hair in locks, cornrows, or fros.
Thank you!! I saw this coming when I looked at those foundation shades 🐸☕
Fa real though lmfao.
Preach my brother! I'm Afro"-Caribbean and the same shit is in our schools, black hair has to be kept "neatly''. when the Rastafarian community started growing in the Caribbean people were denied jobs and placement in schools, it still happens but its a bit more accepted now because its a religion. black people bodies are policed all over the world.

And anyone can have dreads black people can comb out their hair like white people too.
I fully appreciate this, thank you.
God everything that comes out of your mouth is always so on point. Gives me chills listening to the accuracy spill forth.

Good Video. You really discussed the different layers and explained it well. Keep making videos.
Maybe INITIALLY, we (Black women) straightened our hair in order to conform to European beauty standards, but it's a new day & an overwhelming amount of us are embracing our own natural hair! Even still, we NEVER altered our hair with an intent to discredit, appropriate, or mock anyone with straight hair! THAT'S the difference, Marc Jacobs!!

You are brilliant. Well said.
You just preached perfection.
Thank you so much!!!!
Cultural appropriation isn't new for Marc Jacobs. He tried it last year by calling Bantu Knots "New & Edgy Mini Buns".
Applause! Real talk!
thank you for this video
I just gasped at "tropical house song" Saviour. 😩
Calvin, I LOVE YOU!
My first time watching you was on the commentary of the music teacher which is great! Now I am curious to know why do you have obey on you’re hat obey who?
Harmonymusiq the original one it’s a clothing brand, nothing sentimental.
yes, thank you. there is a difference between assimilation and appropriation.
I hit subscribe when you said " Tropical house" about Rihanna
True talk my brother
hey Calvin. when I went to school in Ghana if you had one drop of anything that wasn't black.like if you were mixed with white or Asian or anything that wasn't black you get to keep your hair and if you were fully black you had to cut your hair. and that's for girls only. pretty sad
LOL @ "King of the S-Curl"......
Hey @CalvinMichaels, what do you use for your hair(in terms of moisture) I've been experiencing a lot of breakage lately.
I like how you acknowledged the diversity within the black race. Rami Malek (mr. robot) is African (Egyptian). Troy Palamalu isn't black but he's Samoan which is technically Asian. John stamos is white. All races are diverse and I hope we can all love ourselves and each other.
This was excellent! I found a new channel
preach Cali preach lol you did that bro😎
Have you done Julie Chen (Moonves)She tried it with Camille Cosby? Because she is now on the hot seat after using her show 'The Talk' to vilify Bill Cosby and criticize Camille for standing by her husband but once the shoe was on the other foot she made the choice to stand by les moonves.

This video should be used for teaching purposes and intents. :)

I agree. But, to me, after some critical thinking... I believe that race is a social construct. Race is based on status. Look at Asia, or Russia, or India... they call those below "Caste" "BLACK".

#BOYCOTTMARCJACOBS.
And whay harm will that cause you?
So many people are narrow minded lol how ironic
Ok am I supposed to thank Europeans when I braid my hair in a hippie bohemian type style? forget that stuff, people need to move on with themselves.
You mean "coarse" or "kinky" hair. Great video!
I'm a black woman and I agree with Marc 😱😱😱 take out that damn straight hair before you criticise people for wearing locks!! Black women and weave and perm is such a norm they act like it naturally grows out their scalp like that! No honey, in reality your hair appropriating!!.....now that colour blind statement is nonsense.
why does everyone assume that all black hair is 4c? i have 4c hair but not all of us have coily hair. there are plenty of black women with straighter hair types
+Ariel true...but u now the majority of black women are not wearing weave thinking their hair like "some" blacks...
Tiffany Dash i will say i dont know what hair type is most prevalent in the black community. I will say that whenever we are depicted in the media without weave, etc, its almost always 4c hair thats shown and i think thats bc thats the message that the media wants to send.

I say all that to say this: who knows....maybe 4c isnt the most prevalent hair type. How would we know otherwise when there are millions of us and im sure no statistician has taken interest in that. MJ is a racist POS. If he were so diverse he would feature lots more POC in his shows.
There is a difference between assimilation and appropriation. Google is free.
hi Tiffany. I can honestly say that I have a corporate job, and when I wore box braids or natural hair styles I got pulled aside and told it was not professional. I want to be taken seriously and I want to grow economically, so I had to cover up my hair. please consider this. I love my natural fro but I want to keep my job.
I agree with many of your points in this video but whilst jacobs response amy not have been appropriate and black women are critisced for wearing dreads, locks, etc. that shouldn't stop jacobs from featuring such styles in his show
So you are choosing to be ignorant for the sake of fashion? It's cultural appropriation and its wrong.
