Do you know who clowns are based on and made to mock? The ignorance in this thread is wild but I'm definitely not surprised. Edited May 30, 2023 by Mezter

Black folk have been saying it all over Twitter since she came out, so I'd go get them together too. Sitting around arguing the historical context of clowns should matter when white people mention she looks like a clown is dumb. SHE LOOKS LIKE A CLOWN. Sick of ya'll and your performative essays every thread about the historical context of why nobody anywhere is allowed to say anything negative about any person ever. 1 2

Why did you type my username like it was a read? Anyway, the clown thing isn't racist. You're grasping at straws and being disingenuous to win an argument. Night.

She's so absurd with the clown hair and everything This “clown hair” that you speak off was literally created to mock afro hair. As others have said, this is racist. On 5/28/2023 at 6:59 PM, Scars said: I know what clowns are supposed to look like and curly/kinky/afro textured hair don't remind me of them. Ice Spice usually goes for a *ginger* look that's actually not that uncommon among redhead black women and it has nothing to do with "clown wigs". If anything, her wigs look too expansive for that. It's unfortunately common for people and even media to make this "clown wig" joke every time a black female celebrity decides to wear an afro-textured ginger wig/weave, whether it's Rihanna, SZA or now Ice, so yeah, it comes off as a racial microaggression. It “feels” like a racial micro aggression, because it is a racial micro aggression. 20 hours ago, Space Cowboy said: How is dragging a hairstyle racist? The clown aesthetic is literally based off of being a Black caricature, from the Afro, to the big lips, a big nose. 8 hours ago, Mezter said: Do you know who clowns are based on and made to mock?

I mean it might still be because of Taylor’s star power but it isn’t gonna serve longevity and be a big hit for Icy. Unfortunately the song isn’t good (the original isn’t all that spectacular either) & the controversy precedes it.

Read a book.
Popboi. Posted May 31, 2023 Posted May 31, 2023 The calling a woman of color's natural afro (although dyed) "clown" hair is not funny, not hard to see how that is offensive and racist (even if not intended to be).

Being that I'm Black myself and this is about whether a particular thing is racist against black people or not, it can, in fact, be "my opinion." Black people can't even agree (i.e. have different OPINIONS) on what constitutes a racist action or not, let alone anyone else. 1
