Of all the comments that have been made about Gabby’s beautiful hair, few have looked at it from the perspective that black females are ignorant about the beauty and care of their own natural hair. We love paying compliments to women of other races by stating we want our hair just like theirs. Whose to say that black hair is inferior. To my knowledge, we are the only people that can wear our hair four ways: dreads, afro, curly a straight. Our hair isn’t near as kinky as our brains. We need to appreciate the beauty of our own hair and stop passing from one generation to the next that straight hair is the thing.

SOME black folks won’t be satisfied until they have a “HOW FAST CAN U RUN AROUND THE GHETTO W/O GETTING A BULLET IN UR BUTT” competition featuring lil wayne n Ne Ne Leeks. The Atlanta housewives and Basketball wives can get on tv sporting enough weaves n wigs to put the Koreans in the stock market and be considered acceptable doing nothing but drinking and fighting but a 16yr old black OLYMPIC GOLD MEDALIST is not good enough because of her hair! KELLOGS cornflakes liked her hair.

It disgusts me that my own people are complaining about the young lady’s hair! What’s even more disturbing is that you always hear these same black women criticizing the media for not displaying enough paradigm for black women. Yet, Ms. Gabby is one of the very few postive role modles for young African American girls! Those simple minded individuals who participated in saying something negative about this young lady should be ashamed of themselves!

You just now notice this? The comment you made is true but let’s face it, that is the norm with the majority of black news oriented websites.
