When did it become a bad thing to have "nappy" hair?

@kai_valya

For the purposes of this thread we should limit the perspective to that of the african american man and woman.

An holistic african perspective won't help in this situation because most of our perspectives are dealing with each other in a Black vs white continuum. I do acknowledge your input, Africans have the most diverse genetic expressions which would be only natural as Africans are the root of the human dna.

With that said though, in america african descendents and ancestors have dealt endlessly with the psychological breakdown of our identity to the point most dont know who they are or hate who they are on a subconscious level.

The straight hair movement started with the Black bourgeoisie those who were freeman and wanted to in a sense petition for the dignity of white society by establishing differences between those who were always free and those who weren't.

I can't blame whites for this psychotic behavior, not all of it. I lay much of the blame at the feet of men and women who looked like you or I or perhaps shades lighter who tried their damnest to fit into white society and shake the burden of being dark skinned. Skin bleaching and hair straightening and weaving went hand in hand and it was strongly encouraged from these so called Black elites to the point black women were shunned by their own for wearing anything not permed or pressed.

Let's keep it trill.

Why you got that shit in a predator cut tho.

Its visually unappealing in comparison to wavy, curly, or straight hair.

But "natural" hair is not necessarily "nappy" hair

You sound so retarded & still talking this same shit.

I joined this board August 2010 (2 years ago) & you were still talking sh*t about black women.What is with you?No one is knocking you for what you like,but it's clear you have an agenda.You have to shout from the mountain tops about what you don't like.Who does that?Is this what you talk about with your friends?Do you have any friends?Did you get picked on for your African features when you were little?Get over it.

Did I hurt your feelings?

Just because I typed out exactly what you do means I'm in my feelings?Okay,Lol.You must not like that reflection of yourself?& No you did not.No one,let alone a socially awkward loser, is going to hurt my feelings about something as minute as hair.This whole "high & mighty, I'm so above black girls even though I'm black myself," thing is who you are.It defines you.I don't expect anything else.

You're angry because I hurt your feelings.

Obviously you fit the criteria of what I personally dont find attractive, and you must have experienced rejection in your life based on your looks.

So to save face, you randomly lash out at me because you see me as a representative of what youre angry at, throwing all types of false accusations to make yourself feel better.

Lol,Everything you're accusing me of is how you feel.YOU'RE angry,YOU have low self esteem.I haven't been on a forum talking sh*t about the type of men that I don't like for for 2 consecutive years,YOU have.False accusations?Review your posts dude.Every time I lurk a thread,there you go,talking sh*t/making snide remarks about black women.You go above & beyond to make it known how you feel about black women.You CAN NOT deny that.But like I said,that defines you.Who is Kushington if he didn't talk sh*t about black women?You're like a racist.A racist person is not sh*t if they are not racist.They have no identity,they have to be racist.Racism is the foundation of their person.Lol,& Obviously you think you are greater than what you actually are in your mind.Who are you?You are not the great messiah.What makes you think, you, a socially awkward loser, opinion holds any weight/value on black women as a whole?

negative effects of chemically straighting hair

"Sodium hydroxide, ammonium, and formaldehyde are just a few named chemical ingredients that can penetrate the scalp skin and enter the body of the mother and unborn baby."

who in their right mind would put this shit in their body????? black folks got problems.

theres nothing wrong w/appreciating the beauty of others but there is somethign wrong if you cant appreciate the beauty of yourself

 

[lighthearted26]

Well nappy hair is hard to maintain. I think people just overuse the term nappy to apply to anything other than straight, wavy, "good" hair which is wrong. When I think nappy I think of someone breaking their comb when trying to comb their hair.

Lol,Yes you did read.

What angers me is when stupid (not ignorant) people try to come off as intelligent.That's pretty much the tone of most of your posts.You don't know anything about coily,kinky, or curly hair but you will definitely put your 2 cents in & try to "drop knowledge."When you log off the IC you are not this great philosopher or professor,you are just a self-righteous socially akward n*gga with a lap top.

@gzus damn brah your locks were tight, big ups on growing them back.

@kai everything you said is true, but are africans trying to look like other africans when they wear the weaves, get perms, or wear blonde wigs and different colored eye contacts? No, they are emulating some shit they saw in a european magazine or tv program.

I always took you for one of the more intellectual posters, are you cosigning this abomination?

 

[Bawse D.Lox]

When the caucasoid discovered the negroid.

If africans were never enslaved, beaten, and robbed of their language and culture by europeans, the africans of today wouldnt be trying so hard to look like their european oppressors.

I accept nothing other than a natural black woman. Fade, dreads, fro...or if your shit grow out your head straight you aite.

y'all do realize that curly, wavy and even straight hair is not exclusive to white people right? and since race really doesn't exist on a biological level, our physical differences are really due to individual variations. that being said, africans have the most genetic diversity of any population on earth meaning africans vary greatly in their appearance.

every skin colour and tone, every hair type and texture, every face shape already exists naturally amongst africans. so i don't think emulating curly or wavy hair or whatever means you want to be white. africans/black people don't all look one way

This thread was bound to turn into white VS. black, but that isn't the basis to my argument.

A Japanese man could let his hair grow an inch or 2, and walk in a job interview w/o concern.

Same with a Korean man.

Puerto Rican.

Irish.

Mexican.

Italian.

Indian.

But what about say...... a Nigerian?

do you really think that nigerians or even any of the people you've listed all have one and only one hair type and texture per their ethnic group?

my sisters and i all have different hair textures, we're african, but even in our family we don't all have the same hair. i've met white people with kinkier/curlier hair than me, like i knew this redheaded white guy who could totally grow an afro if he wanted. i couldn't grow an afro if my life depended on it, because i just don't have that hair texture/type, does that make me less african?

i'm sorry to break it to you but u ain't really african-african bruh.

what do u mean by other africans, africa is diverse as fuck bruh bruh

and why can't they just be trying something new ? why does it got to be an abomination?

if a cracker gets dreads is he self hating or just trying something new?????

Well dreadlocks are a natural hairstyle that every person can achieve by just twisting their hair as it grows, nothing else is needed aside possibly patience. Explain to me how you relate a white person wearing dreads to a black person wearing a blonde wig/blue-green contacts, or using harsh chemicals to straighten their hair?

I mean other africans as in the people young african women are studying to develop the self destructive behavior. Does the african control the media machine or does the european? Who has more influence over people living in america?

 

[skpjr78]

a cracker growing dreds in and of itself isnt self hate but if that said cracker excessivly tanned their skin had surgery to get bigger lips ass or nose changed their eye color and did everything they could to socially identify themselves as anything other than a cracka there would be a problem. the list of black ppl who did all the above is too long to list
