Are Novelty Afro Wigs Racist?

Are Novelty Afro Wigs Racist? Are At The Drive-In fools? And other questions. A bad gig experience, via Us Vs Them. Hey though, if Jeffrey wants to wear his afro and 70s shirt with pride, he should head for a 70s nite in Clapham (which has the added bonus of no At The Drive-In music).

Novelty Afro Wigs are racist. What is funny about kinky hair texture? This is just another way our society takes part in putting down another minority group. Keep people in fear of one another and keep them fighting thats the American way.

when I used to have hair, sometimes I let it grow very long, and it turned into an Afro, thus proving that I am a RASCIST.

Thats a bit extreme..afro wings are there because white people are fascinated with texture having silky hair and all…I don’t see anything particularly racist about that, but I understand what you mean it is a stereotype of black people though.
