Due to a classmate’s post, something popped in my mind. The world is a very flippant place. Once upon a time black women were ridiculed because they wanted straight hair, used creams for lightening of spots of their faces for smoother and maybe lighter skin, and wanted to be considered ladies. Because they wanted these simply things or made these simple changes they were thought of as white-women-wannabes!
WELL! How about now you look around. White women are slick trying to be like us! They get their lips injected for that thick pout of the black women, they get their lower areas injected with “the shot” or do relentless Pilates in order to get that nice round butt that we know is a BLACK woman’s trait. I’m not trying to get riled up but honestly why are we all constantly talking about how one wants to be the other???
We all at the end want the same thing whether we claim to or not!! You know what that is… ACCEPTANCE. We want society to open its arms out to us because it feels good to be acknowledged positively! So I just close by saying stay true to ya darn self and quit worrying about someone who’s taking what’s yours. Because if they take it, well I hate to break it to you sweetheart, but it was never yours to begin with.
Have a great evening lovies!!

This comment is toward the hair quality. The texture and the genetic make up of a a black woman's hair is so complex til no one could try to just bottle it up and throw it on the shelf to sell it. Every woman is different in her own way and you did an amazing job of showing that in this particular blog. A black woman's hair is one thing that can be seen as just hers because no two are the same. Often imitated, but never duplicated!
