Ciji The Geek: "Color Blocking" - where white folks again appropriate →
As many of you know, I am a child of the 90’s.
I remember the 90’s, pretty vividly. I remember the fashion, I remember what my classmates wore, I remember what my favorite singers, rappers, and actors/resses wore.
rosadefuego once summed up my feelings on color blocking…
To paraphrase the late, great Rudy Ray Moore, POCs were through with it before White folks learned what to do with it.

“color blocking” aka not matching your clothes aka looking really crappy is kinda a hipster thing

sorry but wearing certain colours a certain way isn’t cultural appropriation and never will be.

and here’s a thing you may or maynot remember from back then: i remember that “colorblocking” actually *was* what we called it. so not only was the fashion snatched from our bodies, but the word was snatched from our mouths (as usual).

It was called “color blocking” in white teen magazines in the 90s too, but it wasn’t presented as high fashion - it was treated as a minor trend (because obviously Black fashion isn’t serious). Then we pretend like we invented it a few decades later.
