Marie Claire practically praised Kendall Jenner for wearing cornrows, which landed them in hot water with Twitter. The complaint is why are cornrows, “bold” and “new epic” when worn by Kendall, when little black girls been wearing this hairstyle every since the cornfield.
Black Twitter Went In:
I mean….Zaria wore those side braids back in 95′. As did most black girls (still do) so….humph.

@ohitsbarbara white people invented cornrows in 2014, y’all. @marieclaire, we melanin-abundant call that “I can’t leave the house yet”

Do you agree or are people being just a little too sensitive?
