Okay well good for you.....

Her argument is ridiculous. She basically thinks the notion that black people have different hair and thus have to treat it differently is a type of unfairness. Her insecurity reveals itself as she constantly juxtaposes black women to white women as though the latter's experiences somehow have a bearing on the former's, moaning all the while. It's rumored that black men often have to go to the barber far more than other races of men in order to look presentable. Black men in themselves are not better or worse because they have to get more haircuts; just different. Black men by and large do not compare themselves to other group's hair, despite extra and additional upkeep, because black men are secure about themselves and do not see the value in constantly attempting to reach "hair parity" with whites.

I'm not biracial that is some rumour @marcuz started. I'm just lightskinned that is all. I have two black parents. And when have I ever attacked black men and especially black people, I only go after those who blindly follow white supremacy. :ufdup:

I'm not going into your background (as it's unknowable without proof), but your arguments tend to devolve into attacking black men and cape for cacs. That's white supremacy in a nutshell and normally what white supremacists do. The difference between them and you is insubstantial.

Fantasy.
I know :ahh:
I'm happy I don't have to wake up every morning and "tame" my hair.
:yeshrug: It is what it is. I agree with what you said and even said I worded what I meant wrong. It's nice that you can wake up like that, I'm happy for you.
It's not as simple as that for all of us tho. More power to you.

At the beginning of mean streets
I could care less who made the rules I care that too many people feel that the "rules" are inherent and appropriate.
Our hair is not inherently messy and it is sad that too many people feel as though it is appropriate for us to live by a different standard for something that is controlled by our DNA.
It is one thing to say it is sad we have to live by a different standard, it is another to say we have to live by that standard becuase our hair looks a mess unless we tame it.
But not all black hair is the same. Women with curly hair (like me and you) can get away with the messy Joan Clayton look. It's considered hippie, natural, bohemian. Our hair textures have since cornered the natural hair market. We don't receive the same back lash as our kinkier 4 hair grade sisters.

why are you nikkas complaining now? this is what happens when you try claim everything under the sun as black

Yeah black people are "inclusive and white people are not" or black people (men mostly) are equal opportunity lovers are double edged swords. Besides black people come in all "shapes, colors, textures." You'd think most, if not many, were octoroons. When New Orleans was evacuated during Katrina, I counted like 25 redbones from the footage at the Super Dome and rescue missions. If you didnt know any better you thought you were looking at Haiti during the Earthquake or some Unicef/UN camp in Africa.

Kinda glad the model shut it down by stating she has black ancestry though. BlackTwitter is annoying af. They should be bringing more attention to the fact that there are 400 young poor black/brown sitting in Riker's Island awaiting trial for bullshyt ass charges like driving with a suspended license.

Btw I love Zoe Kravitz. Blacktwitter need to go somewhere.

I only ask because it seems like the people who always get upset and defensive when people say "wash and gos don't work on 4c hair" are people who don't have it. Like they are almost too defensive or sensitive, meanwhile it is what it is. I could let my hair shrink up or go to bed without twisting or putting my hair up, but it's not good for my hair. I can't do everything other textures can. My hair will matt and tangle up. It needs to be stretched and bound in twists or braids or threading.

Thing is she's half Fijian, or "half ethnic" not even half black.
