Actually they are Egyptian originated.

The Afro-centrist writers insist that Egyptian culture was African.

reply

Yes, northeast African culture, but not sub-Saharan (black).

To be fair, no one looks good in braids.

Cultural appropriation is such a bullshit non-issue to get up in arms about.

Darrius Rucker has been doing country songs for years now. Should someone tell him he's not welcome, and to stay in his lane....because of....pppfffft......cultural appropriation??

What kind of douchebags make this an issue?

People learn from and appreciate each other's cultures....and that is what ethnic harmony is all about. I happen to be white (and a country music fan)...and I take it as a.....compliment....that Darius Rucker appreciates and respects country music the way he does. Imitation is the highest form of flattery, after all. If a woman wears her hair in tight braids, it's generally because she's honoring that look as being...beautiful. And no one culture has a corner on the market of beautiful.

I swear, people are such dickheads.

What's ours is ours! And what's yours? That you can share, of course.
