power of fashion and cultural diversity
Thesis
STATEMENT People from outside the black community having Braids represents
much more than cultural appropriation.

The use of braids by people outside the black community can be interpreted as an attempt to
admire and celebrate the beauty and cultural richness of the black community.
Counterpoint
However, some argue that the adoption of braids by non-black people can be problematic, since
it can trivialize and strip an important element of black identity of their cultural significance.
Refutation
The debate between these two points of view highlights the complexity of the relationship
between fashion, cultural identity and appropriation.
Conclusion
the use of braids by non-black people is an issue that requires careful consideration and
discussion.
