(43,317 posts)When Kylie Jenners cornrows inspired this weeks conversation about cultural appropriation, several people invoked the name Bo Derek the original white woman in cornrows as reference, or maybe justification. (Most publicly, Laverne Cox, who discussed the feud on Andy Cohens Watch What Happens Live.)
Since she ran down that beach, hair braided, in the 1979 movie 10, Bo Derek probably gets more credit for popularizing cornrows than anyone. A 1980 People article cited Derek as the catalyst for making cornrows a cross-cultural craze and a beauty store bonanza. As a result, the hairstyles origins in African-American culture have sometimes been overlooked as in this Los Angeles Times debacle from earlier this year. So when New York caught up with the actress at the premiere of FXs Sex&Drugs&Rock&Roll, we asked what she thought of the hairstyle, cultural appropriation, and whether shed ever considered her role in it all.
Her answers were minimal.
She remarked that, like Andy Cohen, she found the Jenner controversy stupid, and noted that race never came up around discussions of her 10 cornrows. Its a hairdo! Thats all it is, she exclaimed. When asked about the hairdos origins (in the same People piece a black woman named Ann Collins gets credit as 10s official braider), Derek responded that she knew where it came from, but that had nothing to do with doing it.
Her final comment: No, seriously, of all the important racial and cultural issues we have right now, people are going to focus on a hairstyle? No, no. Ill save my efforts toward important racial and cultural issues.

(3,162 posts)...a solid '8' so far...
...he's decent, focused and he's moving quickly...
...we have massive problems that are demanding attention and he seems to be prioritizing well...his administration seems capable...
...massive problems any one of which could sink any Presidency...but will he be able to put the pieces together to get big things done over the long haul?
...time will tell...

He is exceeding my expectations. But much of the praise goes to our congressional leaders. Its surprising the Stimulus made it through a 50/50 senate. If infrastructure does as well, which Im not optimistic about I will be over the moon.
To bad no republicans care about voting rights. Because since it cant go thru on reconciliation it has no shot.
Very good.
