Its just that first sentence  like gorl, who are these people? I would never look at her or her hair and wonder if she's mixed/ what she's mixed with. Like.... Where  I just see nigger tbh  and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that.

But what's wrong with wanting know where you came from? lol

It's complex, it's a black thing Jon', let me break it down for you. lol.

For some reason in our community when someone brings up their heritage, unless they're strictly referring to Africa, people get very uptight. But on the other hand, people in our community are also quick to assume that anyone who doesn't have kinky hair is of mixed heritage. Which isn't always necessarily true because there are people who are 100 percent African in countries such as Ethiopia and Somalia who have looser curl patterns.

It just happens that I actually have a mixed heritage which is pretty close generationally on the maternal side of my family, which contributes to some attributes which aren't necessarily "African". The truth is most black men do not have hair like mine. Which is what prompts these questions from people. It intrigues them, and that's understandable.

However, I do NOT consider myself mixed. I mean the reason that my hair intrigues people is the fact that I AM black. lol and clearly of African descent.  if I had a more European appearance with my skin, etc. it probably wouldn't raise a question for anyone. That's why they question my HERITAGE.

Some people see "mixed" anything and automatically shut down and start getting angry and accusing others of self hatred. When its actually the opposite, it's embracing your WHOLE truth and everything about you which makes you who you are.

But that's what makes black people so beautiful. You have someone like me who is dark complected with softer hair, and then you have someone like Michael Ely who has green eyes, light skin and kinky hair. We're kinda well.......beautiful lolz

Well see, sis, this is the thing (and why its such a kii), this "most black men don't have hair like mine" thing you're trying to push is foolish. There's nothing special about your hair  because it doesn't give a buckwheat mess out doesn't mean its some rarity in the black community  Its just black hair. Being curly and greasy doesn't make it appear to be anything but. And I just don't buy that so many people are intrigued by it. Its clearly something you're very proud of and I guess your best trait? Thats great. But you don't have to make it out to be something its not in order to celebrate it.

im wondering WHO these people are.

nvcccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccckdkdkd

hey 'cob

[iman]

You never know...

Although I don't consider myself "mixed", I knew my maternal side of the family is of strong admixture....my grandmother....


my grandmother's grandmother...


There are strong genes on my mother's side....its crazy how much my sisters look like my fucking great great grandmother 

and my father's side, there are very strong genes as well but clearly more of an African dominance...
here is my paternal great grandfather. this side of my family clearly looks different.


And for me of course I take things from both sides... But my African DNA is going to reign supreme
but having this test is interesting. it explains a lot.

ssss

they all look black

I don't know if you're truly ignorant or just letting your disdain for me blind you to a fact. Most black men have type 4 kinky hair, not loose curls and coils. This is actually something I've taken the time to educate myself on, in an effort to know how to better manage my hair.

What you're referencing is clearly "hair hierarchy"; you're offended with what I'm saying because you FEEL that's what I am promoting, when I am simply (again) explaining my experiences as a black man with a looser curl pattern. Take some time to educate yourself on what I'm discussing before you come at me with illogical accusations.

And honestly I feel that's where a lot of anger comes from. How dare someone point out something that's different about them. lol. "You ain't special! " People get petty over the funniest things.

Hun I'm not offended by anything you posted. I'm a bit shocked by the delusion, yes. But like I said, I thought it was a kii. I didn't know you really believed the mess.

[Herb.]

And that's fine. I'm not here to argue my truth.

[iman]

I think you want to believe that people are "angry" but truth is people are laughing. You are acting like it's something special to have admixture when I'm sure most people on this board have mixed lineage and if you actually thought it about it's not all it's cracked out to be since blacks weren't allowed to mess with whites back then but the women were raped by their masters but I digress.  It's a slave mentality to praise mixed linage and has been passed down for generations so I'm not surprised at all.
