black men by &amp; large don't straighten their hair anymore like they did back in the old days of the conk (i suggest you read the autobiography of malcolm x if you have not already done so..he talks about the conk)
i very rarely see chinese men perm their hair (i was in the chinese community for years)...maybe one out of 10,000)

so because there are rapists with dreadlocks means black girls should continue to be conditioned that straight hair is the way to go?

there are white rapists with straight hair...pacific islander rapists with curly hair...etc



just ask yourself if an asian needs justification for wearing their hair in its natural state;
why must it be a huge federal case for an african to wear a natural hairstyle?
or better yet why is it discouraged among our women?

Jah yout, I recommend strongly that you take a course in Reading Comprehension; not only will you understand the written word, but communicate more effectively.

this is total nonsense...
a black person wearing a natural (non-chemical or heat induced) hairstyle does not mean one is pro-black anymore than a white person wearing their hair in its natural straight form mean they are pro-white...

what does the existence of a dreadlocked rapist have to do with black girls loving their natural hair? (the actual topic of the video/ thread);

there have been straight-haired rapists, will that make you stop creming?

i am not here to argue what one's hairstyle relates to their personality or beliefs;

i'm here to argue that the vast majority of african (so-called black) girls have been conditioned to view straight hair as 'good' hair and coily/curly/afri hair as 'bad' hair and that i disagree with this babylonia propaganda;
and i will back anyone- regardless of race or color-- who also opposes this propaganda...you think i only discovered this since a white guy spoke on it?
perhaps you can use a reading comprehension course along with me...i have already posted that i have quoted blacks who addressed the issue &amp; on this very forum...
so your &quot;johnny-come-lately&quot; accusations are baseless...

we obviously strongly disagree on this topic &amp; it's all good...that's why there is a word called debate;

peace &amp; love...I Man gaawn

Re: Do you hate your hair? - no Because I am Not My Hair!

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Skelly</div><div class="ubbcode-body">so which white woman has never had a perm or dyed or flat ironed or curled their hair???

why should those methods of achieving a new style be limited to them? </div></div>

ignore my point if you like...

but the reality is that a little white girl with straight hair is not hammered everyday with media &amp; societal messages telling her that her hair is somehow ugly or unacceptable...
she probably has never heard her hair described as 'bad'...
she probably never had to get a perm at an early age so she could look 'better'...
she does not have to watch cartoons/ movies where all the stars don't have her kind of hair...

bless up
