The young girl pictured above, 14 year old Mallory Merk is currently being bullied online for rocking blonde box braids when she is not black. Like most young girls, Mallory was excited to show off her new look on Twitter. But things quickly escalated into a drama after her pictures went viral. Read some of the mean, some encouraging comments after the cut. Do you see anything wrong with her rocking braids? The young girl later issued an apology.
Mallery's apology:
Wow this child should be apologized to. She saw a woman with box braids and she liked the way she looked!! If that isnt flattery I dont know what is... this is reversed racism.
ReplyDeleteWe are all people regardless of culture, gender, race, creed, and sexual orientation we are all equal... and not just when that works to ones advantage. She rocked those braids and looked beautiful. Continue being you!
