I NEVER said they were not. But the Afro was a protest hair style that was alligned to the black panther and other black power groups. Mainstream blacks were not wearing it until the Jacksons came out with it. It gave them permission to wear it too. The Jacksons were fashion ICON fthroughout the 70's.
Mainstream black people were reluctant to do anything to do with a revolutionary group like the black power movement or the black panther. the hairstyle and the raised fist was synanmous with such groups and therefore was condemned by church leaders and others. When the Jacksons started wearing the hairstyle, many black people started wearing it because they felt it was safe to do so,k
Do you give everybody that you disagree with negative rep points or is it just me you like to behave childish with? Notice I didn't do the same for you. i would not deprive you of your single green rep.:wub:
No I don't, but you your nonsense just gets on my last nerves. I don't care if you do or not Ivymay. As for my single green rep. I wasn't posting for a very long time on this board so there goes your side remark diss flying out of the window :wub:
A group of black family that made a world of black people excited at a time when there was little to be excited about is not nonesense. it is a fact. The Jacksons gave a world of black people hope. that is why they were labelled the black kennedy's and the first family of music by the industry.
Like I said before give this Black and White talk someone else, I know black history and the Jacksons were NOT the first black ppl, black folks looked up too. There were dozens before them. Of course what they achieves was the ultimate American Dream, but other black folks had done it BEFORE them. Anyways I'm done.
