Cornrows


After I put my picture of me with cornrows on the internet I started to get messages from black guys calling me a wigga. Yes, it’s a ‘black’ hairdo, but does that mean only black guys should have it? I don’t understand how on one hand the same guys are saying they are second class citizens and they are not treated in an equal way by society, and at the same time they try to separate themselves by opposing others who take over or flirt with their style or traditions. Put it this way: this is London 2006. It’s a city where so many people from so many different cultures and backgrounds live together. Isn’t it normal there’s going to be some crossover? Isn’t it even desirable that will happen?
