so i saw this today on fb and....

So today, like any other day, im on fb browsing thru my newsfeed and i see these prophetic words... words that i've been pondering for quite some time. Paraphrased, this person's status was mainly making the point of how ppl act so "in touch w their roots" and so "pro-black" as i call it, by growing out their perms or chopping all their hair off, but yet these same ppl will wear a straight weave on top of their "natural" hair (which i refer to as nappy because thas what it would have been called just a few years ago and i'm not in the business of sugar-coating anything...ESPECIALLY not in this blog). To me, if ur gonna be all pro-black, then u should commit to it whole-heartedly and doing this (the straight weave over nappy hair) makes u a ...*wait for it*....SELLOUT!!! Now i do understand some ppl do this for religious reasons, as the bible speaks against body manipulations (don't ask me where, i jus know it's in there...lol) and using a perm would be chemically altering ur hair from its original state... but MOST ppl are not going "natural" for that reason...its a fad, that i hope goes out of style soon!! Why do i feel this way, u ask??? Lol well i'll tell u...not to play the race card, but regardless of what ppl say, i think until racism ceases to exist, many societal values will always be based on the opinions of white ppl...and for this issue, it's a matter of what they see as professional...and truth be told, i personally don't see it as professional. To me, for any occasion, straight hair will always look better...i'm sure im gonna get plenty of backlash for this, mainly from "princess stephy"...lol but oh well....i warned u guys!! lol

Straight hair or permed hair, as long as it is maintained and neat. All textures of hair can be managed and made to look professional. Personally, I am pro-natural. I choose to be for personal reasons but reasons vary between individuals.
