The best time to accept your Natural Hair is NOW!
I don't get it. What's with people's obsession with our hair? Like, are they threatened by it or what? Why should wearing my hair he way GOD made constitute a headache for anybody, seriously?
Hair discrimination against black people is not "intertwined" with racism, it is a form and extension of it.
This is my professor 👩🏾🏫✊🏾
Youre not race baiting hard enough , race bait harder.
Most of this is ridiculous, but that cornrows scaring someone took all kinds of stupid.
This is beyond stupid. Some people will constantly find new ways to claim victim status and make ridiculous ways to make accusations of racism. A coworker was startled and she thought it was because of hair racism? What an absolute moron. Have you never walked up on someone and startled them? When are we going to stop giving a platform to idiots like this?
Why so many insults from men who are insecure
Nappy
#Vote for President Trump to serve a second term. Do NOT EVER trust Biden who has Dementia and Kamala Harris who flip flops from one issue to another. Don't believe the DEMORATS who desperately want your Vote and will lie and promise anything to get your vote. Save this Country from the far left and ANTIFA. #Trump2020 #KAGA2020👍👍👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸.
You assumed your cornrows scared her LOL
Is this a joke I'm having a bad hair day
ABC – Always Baiting Color
What a joke. NEWS? Stop pandering.
For more than 10 years I've worn my locs in a predominately white state. My God created me and my hair. I absolutely love my locs! I create fun styles.
Love this! people should be able to be comfortable being themselves without being discriminated against because of it
There’s Been a natural hair movement Knock it off.🙄
So no more hair extensions?
I did NOT need a pandemic to embrace any empowerment. I have been ROCKING my NATURAL hair for decades! My empowerment lies in my IDENTITY IN CHRIST! My Bible tells me that EVERYTHING God made is GOOD. My hair is included in that promise. My body temple is way TOO PRECIOUS to poison with unsafe toxic chemicals. I am beautiful because I am made in my Abba Father’s image. God has ALWAYS made a way for me to succeed in any career/employment with my natural hair. 💕😇🙏🏽💐🌷🌻
I've been natural for over 15years. Has nothing to do with this pandemic. And this conversation is not new. Just because some people are just now actually 'seeing' black people in general… ugh 🤦🏾♀️
Black people think the world is against them lmao get a clue
Finally cultural appropiation comes to an end
