This is always ridiculous to me, it’s a hair style. Not even a black thing.
Literally used by many backgrounds to make hair manageable while outdoors. Like how a bandana isn’t a gangster thing when it’s just good for sweat on your brow and keeping your hair back while you work.
It frustrates me to see it as a staple of butch fashion when it’s not even utilized, but hey whatcha gonna do.
Then again, lots of things have been co-opted. Like how no one talks about cowboy culture being a predominantly Mexican thing. Vaquero the Spanish word that literally translates to cow-er, like bean-er. Roughly meaning cow seller/maintainer and bean selles/maintainer.
Vaquero eventually became buckaroo, and America kept the cosplay.
It’s life, you live and you learn. And you’d be an idiot not to learn from those around you.
