"Travis Kelce's Impact: The Cultural Significance of His Haircut"

In an op-ed, Michael Harriot criticizes a New York Times article for focusing on how Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce popularized the "fade" haircut in Black America, attributing it to his popularity and not acknowledging its origins. Harriot sarcastically lists eight innovations and creations that were conceived or popularized by white culture, highlighting the historical contributions of Black people and critiquing the tendency to credit white individuals for cultural phenomena that originated in Black communities.
