I used Heidi Klum as an example. Not someone with Native ancestry.
She's a white woman, who loves her kid's kinky hair. They're not Native, or Hispanic, they're black with kinky hair and she doesn't want anyone touching it. She saves it. Some mothers take this seriously. You guys are overlooking that.
sis i love you but no.
its not that we're overlooking it; its that you arent looking past the hair/race/culture thing.
and we know maybe its because of your latest personal revelations in this area.
but whats going on in the video and whats being discussed has A LOT more to do other things than hair. and its rooted with the hate and bitterness this woman has for this man Earl. And whats scariest about the whole video is we see a 3 generation depiction coming into to form before our eyes. we see the grandmother who is obviously just as scorned and distracted by her own bitter emotions that she too was unable to keep the focus of her anger on and about the hair. and we see it happening with the baby mother. whats scariest about her is that she is also CREATING the next generational cycle right before our very own eyes. but this time to her 2 little black sons. shes dangerous. those poor little boys...smh. they will grow up in an environment where two of the most important women in their lives are okay with being driven by bitter and spiteful emotions. it gets deep..and scary.
the entire video is sad; and your points on hair are extremely valid as to WHY both women could be mad.
but again, whats going on in the video and whats being discussed isnt about why they're mad its about how they're handling that "anger" and how the children are being used and affected by it all.
