Adele’s tribute to Notting Hill Carnival sparks culture row
It just looks weird to me. But she has done wonders in getting slim
Adele has been accused of cultural appropriation after sharing a photo of herself with her hair in a traditional African hairstyle to mark Notting Hill Carnival.
The singer wore a bikini printed with the Jamaican flag, a feathered collar and headpiece, and her blonde hair in bantu knots, a traditional African hairstyle.
She posted the picture on Instagram with he caption: “Happy what would be Notting Hill Carnival, my beloved London”.
The image sparked complaints on social media. One user wrote: “Black women are discriminated against for wearing cultural hairstyles like bantu knots and locs but white people are not, that’s not fair and that’s why people are pissed off.”

OMG! What will those poor Africans do now that Adele has appropriated their culture? How will they ever survive without their own unique expressions forged by a history and personality uniquely their own? This heinous act of depriving people their own legitimacy, of their own personality, so that they can never again express themselves must be punished with the most severe of penalties!
Not to mention the birds who had their Tailfeathers plucked out for this
