WE SEE PAIN AND SUFFERING BUT STILL LOOKING FOR A BRIGHT FUTURE

As you know the black woman has been under attack for the past two or three years in some shape form of fashion. Some say its made us bitter and angry when all it has done is make us more confused about who we are and what role we are supposed to play in society.  We have been called rachet, chicken head, hoodrats and  thots... by our own men who are supposed to protect  and love us. We have demonized the very essence of who we really are by making fun about how we should wear our hair calling them hair hats. Now these are the same men who have mothers, sisters, daughters, aunties and nieces.

Our black men have become our emotional oppressors by always making us feel that we are not good enough for them. That no matter how many times we stand beside them and fight with them or we fight for them we are still not good enough.  Every man and woman  have their own standards of beauty and we either respect it or just keep some of their opinions to themselves.

Sandra Bland and many others were not worried about what their hair looked like they were trying to understand why it had to be them to die. Our children are being brutalized by police and murdered by others. So why is it that our hair is so significant? Its really not, what I believe is that some of our men have lost their way and they don't want to walk alone. What is that saying misery loves company?

Our hair is an accessory what is under it ie our brain is what is important at a crucial point like now.
People both white and black have been wearing weaves, and wigs for ages why all of sudden now there is a problem with the way we wear our hair.

The next time one of our brothers make a derogatory remark about your hair ask them this when was the last time I asked you to buy it for me. See what they tell you.
