Sidney, On many things your 'idealistic' social views are right on point, but not on this one. For centuries, black women all over the world have had to battle with bullshyt like this, whether it's for the color of their skin, texture of their hair, body image, all that, and all from our very own. Even in Nigeria, women bleach just to be lighter because in their eyes, lighter is better, the closer once appears to look european, the better one is. This hair thingy is just one facet, and on this one, it's not the media hyping or tweets, rather it's the tweets that are truly indicative of the screwed up psyche of black women all over the world and by our own hands in our own hands. When will we get a clue??!!!
I mean seriously, Look at all this young lady has been able to achieve and of all things that can be said, it's 'why can't someone fly to London to do her hair?' If they got off their fat asses and put that fried chicken down and break a sweat in the gym, they'll know that no matter how 'laid' your hair is, it'll look less 'laid' if you sweat. I mean I see these women with 5 necks, 6 rolls of belly coming out of salons with their hair 'did' and nails done, yet they look like painted balloons.
