In
today’s
episode
of

Colonizers
Haven’t
Quite
Columbused
Everything
Yet…Or
Have
They?,
mainstream
media
can’t
seem
to
get
enough
of
the
innovative
and
completely
original
hairdo
of
NFL
tight
end

Travis
Kelce,
aka
Talyor
Swift’s
new
boo.

If
it
looks
familiar
to
you
as
a
Black
person,
that’s
because
it’s
literally
just
a
fade.
They’re
crediting
him
with
creating
the
fade,
y’all.

According
to
the

New
York
Times,
Jeffrey
Dugas,
a
barber
at
Obsidian
Barbers
in
New
Brunswick,
Canada,
his
customers
are
lining
up
to
get
a
fresh
cut
to
look
like
Kelce
and
only
Kelce
because
Kelce
is

definitely
the
only
one
who
has
ever
done
it.

“They
usually
come
in
with
a
picture
of
him,”
Dugas
said.
“I’m
like,
‘Yeah,
I
know
who
that
is.’”

And
what

is
it
exactly?
Because
unless
our
collective
Black
eyes
are
deceiving
us—Travis
Kelce
is
just
sporting
a
damn
fade.

Look,
man,
white
journalists
are
already
out
here

crediting
Swift
for
popularizing
“Swag
Surf”,
and

Shannon
Sharpe
has
already
disappointed
Black
America
by
getting
off
the
Black
hype
train
from
his
viral

Katt
Williams
interview
just
to
turn
around
and
say
with
his
whole
chest
that
“Beyoncé
ain’t
moving
the
needle”
like
Swift,
who
he
then
compared
to
Michael
Jackson.

It’s
been
a
long
week
of
white
and
white-adjacent
nonsense,
y’all,
the
last
thing
we
needed
was
for
Kelce
to
get
credited
for
setting
the
trend
on
a
new
hairstyle
that
just
so
happens
to
be
the
same
style
Black
men
have
been
wearing
since
at
least
the
late
’80s.

It
is
now
2024,
and
the
same
serial
gentrifying
whiteness
that

abracadabraed
Black
women’s
cornrows
into

Kim
Kardashian’s
“boxer
braids”
is
still
swarming
over
Black
styles
and
trends
like
(culture)
vultures
circling
their
prey.
What’s
next,
some
goofy
white
fashion
“journalist”
is
going
to
write,
“What
her
half-sister
Kim
Kardashian
West
did
for
booty,
Jenner
has
done
for
full
lips?”

(Oh
wait,
that

already
happened
at

Forbes
six
years
ago.)

White
people
tend
to
get
in
their
feelings
when
Black
people
talk
about
cultural
appropriation
and
how
it
does
harm,
but
this
is
exactly
the
kind
of
erasure
that
keeps
us
beating
that
same
drum.
Kelce
adopts
a
30-some-odd-year-old
common
Black
hairstyle,
and
all
of
a
sudden
white
hairdressers
are
talking
about
the
fade
with
fresh
tutorials
for
white
people
who
refuse
to
act
their
age
and
texture.

From
the

Times:

While
barbers
are
excited
their
clients
feel
passionate
about
a
particular
style,
some
worry
not
everyone
can
actually
pull
this
look
off.

“Every
canvas
can’t
take
every
type
of
hair,”
said
Nigel
Miller,
a
barber
at
Fresh
Avenue
Grooming
and
Style
in
Birmingham,
Ala.
“The
Travis
Kelce
haircut
looks
good
on
more
square-type
head
shapes
and
people
with
stronger
jaws.”

It’s
also
a
haircut
that
can
really
change
someone’s
look.
“People
who
come
in
and
get
it,
a
lot
of
times
they
have
long,
straight
hair,
and
it’s
a
drastic
transformation,”
Mr.
Miller
added.
Fortunately,
so
far
everyone
he
has
given
the
cut
to
has
liked
it.
“If
they
didn’t,
they
didn’t
tell
me
to
my
face.”

“Square-type
head?”
“Stronger
Jaws?”
“Every
canvas
can’t
take
every
type
of
hair?”
Bruh,

JUST
SAY
IT
WAS
CREATED
FOR
BLACK
PEOPLE,
NOT
THE
BLACK
CULTURE-LOVING
WHITES!”

This
isn’t
to
say
that
white
men
can’t
pull
the
look
off.
It
looks
OK
on
Kelce,
I
guess.
But
white
writers
and
influencers
are
going
to
stop
playing
around
in
Black
people’s
faces
and
giving
white
people
the
gatekeeper
keys
to
our
culture,
which
are
obviously
not
theirs
to
give.

We
tired.
