So I had a jeri curl for a while. And the rapper KRS-One (remember him) was talking on TV, or maybe the radio. And he essentially said the same thing about black people straighten their hair, or getting curls, and a possible little self hate going on.

And I immediately went out and got a hair cut.

Same thing applies to my hair. I relax my hair because it’s convenient for me and I like it. I have the right to wear my hair any way I want. But there’s no way I’m dreaming of having “white” girl hair. Not at my age anyway. I could put 10 relaxers in my hair and I’d still wouldn’t have really straight hair. Negroid hair is Negroid hair and it will never disappear completely. Quiet as it is kept, there’s been plenty of white people who have told me that they don’t have naturally straight hair either and they use what’s called a perm which is a chemical treatment. What alot of people, including non-black, do to their skin and hair has nothing to do with self-hatred, especially if it doesn’t drastically alter their appearance.

However, I do agree that there are blacks who hate their own skin color and hair. But you can always spot those types and realize the difference between them and black people like me. I know I can.

The lack of knowledge of true African history causes this type of inferior, slave minded thinking. Study your African history and you’ll realize, the people who you want to look like, really wished they looked like you.
