Black African American. 5'5, short hair.

Some people say all American's are the same. Their not. And some people think  all American's are white. Their not. 
And braids are a cultural thing, all black people had a reason for braiding their hair. And then other cultures came in and took it because they thought it was "pretty". I'm not saying other people of color or no color can't have braids. I'm saying. Some people FORGET WHO, started braids in the first place. And then they exclude America because when they think of America, they think of white people. Not colored people.
