No, I don't think natural hair makes somebody more black. But yes, it does bother me that so many black people dislike their natural hair and have devised so many pejorative terms for it. It's a manifestation of self hate. You know from my posts that I'm too militant to see that and not notice. Trust me though, I don't go around telling friends, family, or strangers how to style their hair.

dont think this is such a black hair issue as it is a "hair"issue. i mean 99.99% of peeps walkin around have changed something about their natural hair. wedda by coloring it or straightening or perming or wateva. people jus want wat they dont have.

i tink its absolute bs to say that bcus im a black woman that relaxes my hair and wear false hair/weaves etc then im self hating and im some how not "black" or dont embrace being "black"

your hair is your beauty.i love my hair! i have beautiful hair and i like being able to do watever the hell i want with it. some days i want it board straight and flipped out. some days i want it curly some days i want it to look crimped some days i wanna do a sophisticate up-do some days i want a wild messy looking fro some days i want it in braids some days i want a weave...only thing i wont do is shave it!

Re: Chemical Hair VS Natural hair..think critically!

(Spoken)
Is that India? What happened to her hair?

Da da da da da

(Verse 1)
Little girl with the press and curls
Age 8 I got a jerry curl
13 and I got a relaxer
I was the source of so much laughter
15 when it all broke off
18 when I went all natural
February 2002
I went on and did what I had to do

Cuz it was time to change my life
To become the woman that I am inside
97 dread locs all grown
I looked in the mirror for the first time and saw that (hey)

(Chorus)
I am not my hair
I am not this skin
I am not your expectations (no)
I am not my hair
I am not this skin
I am the soul that lives within

(Spoken)
What she do to her?
I don’t know; it look crazy!
I like it.
I might do that.
I wouldn’t go that far.

(Verse 2)
Good hair means curls and waves.
Bad hair means you look like a slave
At the turn of the century
Its time for us to redefine who we be
You can shave it off like an African beauty
Got in on “loc” like Bob Marley
You can rock it straight like Oprah Winfrey
It’s not what’s on your head, it’s what’s underneath (say hey)

(Chorus)
I am not my hair
I am not this skin
I am not your expectations (no)
I am not my hair
I am not this skin
I am the soul that lives within

<span style="color: #FF0000">Does the way I wear my hair make me a better person
Does the way I wear my hair make me a better friend
Does the way I wear my hair determine my integrity
Expressing my creativity </span>

(Verse 3)
Breast cancer and chemotherapy
Took away her crown and glory
She promised God if she was to survive
She would enjoy everyday of her life
On national television her diamond eyes are sparkling
Baldheaded like a full moon shining
Singing out to the whole wide world like hey

(Chorus)
I am not my hair
I am not this skin
I am not your expectations (no)
I am not my hair
I am not this skin
I am the soul that lives within
(Repeat)

<span style="color: #FF0000">If I wanna shave it close or I wanna rock locs
That don’t take a bit away from this soul that I got

If I wanna wear it braided all down my back
I don’t see nothing wrong with that </span>


If the above are not the lyrics to (I AM NOT MY HAIR) by INDIA.ARIE Would you kindly report the error ?
