I say this as the son to two African parents but born and raised in the states. I also never live there full-time until three years ago. I think because of black Americans proximity to whites in this country, knowing their behavior and how these people hate them, there’s a bit more of an appreciation for the skin they’re in. It’s a uniform because we know in this country and in their hate for black skin, there’s envy for it too. I honestly feel that there’s more of a pride in the skin that you’re in here in the US than it is in Africa.
When Blac Chyna dusty ass went to Nigeria to launch a skin Lightner cream she would never pitch in United States, that says all you need to know about who embraces that bullshyt.
The colonial mentality on the continent is still thriving and strong on much of the collective.

you prefer bad weaves to locs?
if it's so difficult to have good weaves...
locs are a logical choice...
I'm not sure what your problem is...
that part
you remind me of myself at my most retarded states.....
I will say some shyt I think is perfectly sensible and normal...
and everybody gasping and looking at me on some what the fukk shyt...
thats you right now
hhahahaahhahahaahahah
no im asking serious questions...
skin bleaching is so prevalent in your culture...
are bad weaves preferable to locs because locs are seen as too "black/african"?
I just want you to speak from experience.. i don't know these things

It’s crazy.
Facebook had that 10 year challenge and people were showing who they were 10 years ago, the difference from what I saw from African-American Facebook pages and Nigerian Facebook pages was wild. Folks were gone from dark to light back home.
shyt is embarrassing and is a point of contention for anyone back home who encounters me about it.

With the circumstances considered. FBAs can make the case that we've handled colorism better than any other group. In and out of the diaspora
its not a thing here, because ultimately you will clowned and shamed for it.

Blowouts range from 30-$100something depending on quality.
Weave installation? More, just depends on who you know.
A NICE updo would be like $150.
Something like pinkie box braids would be $220 but they last 4-8 weeks. These women you keep speaking on go to white woman stores to buy white women wigs and they're as expensive as (or more than) the services you just asked about.

Proximity to the hateful american oyinbo I think made folks here more prideful of the skin theyre in.
I cannot tell the difference between real hair and weaves
I cannot tell what a "bad weave" is
maybe if it smells or looks like plastic
I am saying that to say the little I know about it is that
more money you have
better quality you can get
more money you can pay, better hairdresser you can get
in my culture if you would call it that
the men I knew do so cause they criminals
in my culture men usually do not give a shyt about womens weaves on some scientific shyt
some of my blk american friends will not hesitate tell a woman her weave is "trash"
cultural
in my culture bleachers are shameful, criminals, gay, dumb etc
at least obvious bleachers
I have never discussed bleaching so much in my life
What would you say the average woman spends on quality weave, installation and maintenance monthly?
with hair products included
bout $400?
This is a rich African woman
you don't notice anything wrong here...
we are not talking about the 1 or 2 rich women...
we were discussing how you mentioned the average blk american woman can afford to get a good weave
and contrasting that to poor women who do not have that disposable income
we going in circles
you creole
and will have puerto rican babies with pretty hair
you do not understand
i bushed the rican chick awhile ago my G
stop getting so caught up on what my dikk doing
Your rich women be looking rough too...
this has nothing to do with income...
why don't they try another hairstyle if the weave is so terrible?
then again, you said you cant tell the difference... maybe the other African men cant either
so yall be letting em get away with it...

We have been at this for hours
you have read my posts and signature thing hundreds of times
and still calling me african
other day I was being called hispanic
there is such a thing as loving and defending those unlike yourself
other human beings
those with different experiences and life stories
whether that be wite, blk, or creole posters like yourself
at other times I am called wite for defending what I think are good wite people
you are being a light skin stereotype
stop it
have a wonderful night
I am usually on twitter, facebook, reddit, and anywhere I can be to find news on investing etc
I am taking a break of sorts
have not taken a break in bout 4 years
so this is me not concentrating on the markets etc
I like nice discussion and debates
I also hate that most of our debates and threads ALWAYS end up being deleted
because of disrespect
we should be able to discuss anything
as adults
so I thank you for nice discussions
