I don't even understand why having a damn afro is considered a political statement when it's the damn hair that grows out of somebodies head.
I'm kinda on the same page with you.

I got this from a hair forum I frequent, the black women there were not feeling this mess at all.
But I feel at the end of the day, it's a hairstyle.

But I can empathize with how they may see it. Like, you take so much from our community, can we at least have our hair? :dead: :plzstop:

No I agree with the ones who are upset. It's just crazy to me that letting your hair grow naturally is such a political statement that is causes such an uproar. You don't see the other races who grow straight and silky debating until the world ends about growing their hair naturally.
Yeah.

For a black woman growing her natural hair, it's automatically "oh! against the grain! she must be a bitch :diddraispoot: mad at the world! stay away from her  :ohwow:"!!!!
:uhh: :uhh: :uhh:

And black men feel as if they have no option but to dredlock their hair or cut it all off to a fade. No such thing as growing a tightly coiled afro in the workplace. Taboo! :diddraispoot: is he a thug :ohwow: he's mad at the man! everyone take cover! :ohwow:

:uhh:

There's ONE guy at my job who has his hair in a tightly coiled natural afro. And I just love looking at it. I wanna touch it tbh.  I love seeing that. And A LOT more of our black women are transitioning to natural hairstyles - ditching the hotcombs, creamy crack and weaves.

But I agree. it's sad that people assume things about someone just based on a damn hairstyle.

nnnn Are you a napptural gorl now?

am sorry but this is so trivial. I totally get the argument about cultural appropriation and all that jazz but I think there are more pressing issues than some white girl rocking some cornrows or a poor attempt at an afro.

That's like people being mad at Blacks for Weave and wearing hair from someone of another RACE completely to obtain a look.
