We all remember our friend Bhad Bhabie, who became famous on Dr. Phil in 2016 for her viral phrase "cash me ousside, how bou' 'dat?"

That was a collective sigh for American pop culture, but as time has gone on, Bhabie has become more problematic.


Here's Bhabie at just 13 years old:

Danielle Bregoli, aka Bhad Bhabie, managed to parlay her obnoxious behavior into a musical career.

Bhabie has found some success as a rapper, with songs like "Gucci Flip Flops."

But as time has gone on, her image has gotten darker.

And no, we don't mean her material has gotten tonally darker.

We mean Bhabie herself has gotten literally darker.




When she unveiled her hair in braids, folks started noticing that Bhabie appeared to be "Blackfishing."





In an Instagram video circa 2019, Bhabie let slip some rather racist rhetoric:

"To all the Black females that are saying my hair [ain't] meant for box Braids, guess the f*** what, y'all hair [ain't] meant to be straight but y'all glue whole wigs on to your heads and sew Brazilian/Indian/Peruvian hair which [isn't anything] like your natural hair texture at all."





The Kardashians and Ariana Grande have both been accused of "Blackfishing" in the past, meaning it is an unfortunate trend amongst celebrity culture.

While these women want to look the part, they'll never face the discrimination and bias that comes with the look they're copying.

The book Everything You Need to Know about Cultural Appropriation is available here.

"Cultural appropriation is a form of identity theft. It happens when someone adopts another culture's identifiable, tangible elements without honoring their cultural importance or significance."

Design For New Commemorative Coin Featuring Trump Just Dropped—And People Can't Believe It's Real

On March 19, the U.S. Commission of Fine Arts (CFA), comprising people appointed by MAGA Republican President Donald Trump, unanimously approved a final design concept proposed for a 24-karat gold United States semiquincentennial commemorative coin.

Instead of featuring the Declaration of Independence or some other images central to the foundation of the nation in 1776 or more universally recognized symbols from the last 250 years, the CFA chose a sketch based on a photo of Trump leaning over the Resolute desk in the Oval Office for the coin's obverse or "heads" side.

Gavin Newsom Said What We're All Thinking About Trump's Decision To Deploy ICE To Airports

After President Donald Trump moved to deploy ICE agents to U.S. airports amid a partial government shutdown that has caused exceptionally long delays at TSA lines nationwide, California Governor Gavin Newsom pointed out exactly why the move is so troubling for citizens and non-citizens alike.

ICE agents are still getting paid during the shutdown, unlike TSA agents, who are currently working unpaid and struggling amid the affordability crisis. News outlets have confirmed ICE agents have been deployed in airports that serve Democratic strongholds, particularly John F. Kennedy and LaGuardia Airports (New York), O'Hare International Airport (Chicago), and others.
