Jackson doing blackface?

Okay, it's 4:30 in the morning, having a rough couple of days and now I see this and I'm kinda lit. 

So Jackson Wang from Got7 is under fire by some of his "fans" for wearing dreadlocks in a Pepsi photoshoot. They're saying he's a "Ignorant Bigot" for putting in fake dreads.

I'm African American so let me say this, I don't give a ? It's fake hair, he can take it out and boom it's gone. Just because he's Asian that means he's being ignorant to black people? Does that mean everytime I put in fake colored hair I'm being "ignorant and racist?" If an Asian person bleaches their hair blonde is that racist to white people with naturally blonde hair?

Like I don't get why having fake dreads involves him having to defend himself and then having to apologise? It's not real, it's just hair! He didn't go around saying black people are lesser, dumber, worse people. He didn't call us the N words and didn't tell us to go pick cotton. He wore fake hair...

There are 100,001 other things he could've done and said and did that would be so much worse. And probably quadruple that number with home many actually problems there are in the world besides some fake hair on his head. Leave the man alone and support him, but if this little hair thing is going to make you flip your opinion, maybe you shouldn't support K-pop idols because they change their hair constantly. 

 

Seriously, recently I've been seeing Netizens acting like insane, selfish, stuck up s over this, Sungmin returning to Suju, Heejun's marriage and it's just getting ridiculous! These idols are humans and will do what makes them happy, feel safe, feel secure, and just crazed fans are starting attack these people for pretty much breathing in a way they don't like. Normally it takes alot for me to get this riled but I'm just getting so exhausted of people going after idols because they can, because they stop thinking that the people they admire are actually people!

 

(This was my public service announcement, I'm going to go to sleep now because my head hurts and there has just been too much on my plate.)
