Fox Sports Anchor Charissa Thompson’s New Box Braids Has Everyone Talking

Usually if they’re not somewhere calling the cops on innocent Black people, White folks are vulturing from a culture they don’t even like.

Fox Sports host Charissa Thompson took a page out of the Kardashian book and switched up her look from Basic Becky to Box Braided Brandy when she got around the colored folk.

Cultural appropriation or nah?

Thompson turned off the comments under her photo of her new look, which means she definitely felt the wrath of the Internet coming at her hard.

Yet somehow little black girls across the country are being suspended & barred from coming to school with this EXACT same hairstyle. Theyre being told its “unprofessional”.

We all know they aren’t unprofessional, but look at this clear privilege… https://t.co/SMsZCBrzld
