Racism and Ignorance and the Kardashian Family's Promotion of African Hair

Our modern world is riddled with egregious examples of racism and misunderstandings of slavery and its meaning - worse, its legacy is often forgotten or derided. While writing an exam to a timer is one way to examine how well you absorbed the lessons of the past we have examined, we are collectively going to attempt an alternative approach this term.
Challenging racism and ignorance, particularly around slavery and its legacies, is an important skill. Doing so in a way that convinces listeners is a goal, even as we accept that we often will not successfully sway the person spouting their misunderstandings. These people may be family members, loved ones, or friends, and being able to confront their ignorance in a way that is elegant, informed, and refutes their misapprehension of history is crucial. You may never convince a bigoted friend or family member that their perspective is wrong, but you could well convince others, and above all, by challenging such viewpoints, you demonstrate that they do not go accepted.
To that end, you are here being asked to review a publically available comment from a public figure, celebrity, or news organization. You will then refute it using facts drawn from this course, coherently woven into a courteous and convincing argument. This is harder than it looks!

By writing a short blog-style response. No more than eight pages, and without need for citations or a bibliography (unless you would typically include those in an actual blog post!)
THIS IS WHAT NEEDS TO BE REVIEWED IN A BLOG STYLE RESPONSE
You're relaxing with a couple of friends and discussing various gossip and trivia. One of them is a hardcore KUWTK fan, and is eager to spill all the latest drama, news and more of the Kardashian family. He scrolsl through his phone to show you a recent Instagram photo featuring Kim Kardashian, and reminds you how much she's done to promote African style.
You can feel your eye twitch, and your hand slips of its own accord to a little device you keep in your pocket. It freezes time and you take a second to catch your breath, and then prepare your argument around African hair and what it means, and has meant.
