I can think of 8 excuses an addict will use:
- Black men don't like me when i'm natural
- Black men like weave
- It's a protective style
- They wore weave in Ancient Kemet
- Shrinkage
- Easier to manage
- White women do it too
- It's just a style
These are default addict excuses.
you NAILED it. Especially with the "other races wear weave too" Told a black girl I was arguing with the other day to snap a photo of a white woman with dreadlocks sewn into their hair on her way to work and I'll shut up. She ain't had shyt to say. I have little problem with them wearing hair extensions native to their hair texture. I prefer all natural, but that's cool too. It's foreign hair textures that I find to be the problem - and that's what the majority with weave are rocking.
I point it out because I care about the battle with self hatred that's destroying my people. They deny it because they wanna keep running from their roots - no pun intended.
