Shut up, shut up, SHUT UP!

I didn’t perm my hair to blend in with white people. How the fuck is straight hair supposed to make me “blend in” anyway, you think the straight hair somehow makes my skin lighter? I’m not a “self-hating black girl” because I like my hair straight. That is the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard.

You are so dramatic when it comes to black vs. white racial issues that you create them even when they don’t exist. You act like black and white are the ONLY races. Do all people who dye their hair black want to be Asian? Do people who go to tanning booths want to be Latino? NO!

It’s hair, fucking HAIR.

I don’t give a fuck if “the technique was discovered during slavery as a result of slave abuse” or whatever the fuck your story is… nowadays people chemically change their hair and their appearance for aesthetic reasons all the time. It doesn’t fucking matter and I am not “turning my back on my culture” by doing it. I like the way my hair looks when it’s straight, I like not having the hassle of my natural hair, I like what I can do with straight hair. So fuck you and get off my back. IT DOESN’T MATTER.

Seriously you pretend to be all involved and in the know about black issues when really you just go looking for racism to stir up some drama. What fucked up your priorities? This whole Africville controversy is going on right now and you bitch me out about my HAIR?

Fuck you and leave me ALONE! —SJL

  1. Why would you let this person get you so worked up when it’s blindingly obvious they are a complete idiot?

  2. Sometimes, tresorla, it’s just human nature to get worked up over this stuff. Because it’s annoying, and we as people get pissed off. Haha.

    OP, your friend or whomever this person is sounds like a gigantic douchebag. Definitely not someone worth keeping in your life. But, you can at least feel reassured in knowing that you KNOW they are a gigantic twat.

  3. Someone else said it best in another thread:

    We are all the same race. The human race.

    Humanity needs to embrace this concept. Since humanity originated in Africa we all have black ancestry no matter which later diversification we as individuals now belong to.

  4. It’s YOUR hair so do whatever you wish. As long as the carpet matches the drapes I am fine with whatever colour or style hair a person chooses.

  5. You think that just cuz a girl likes to dress fancy and stand on the corner next to some whores, that she’s hookin?

    Dirty Dee, you’re a baddy daddy lamatai tebby chai!

  6. my, my, someone’s twat is in a knot. holy shit man, who fucking cares if your hair is straight, frizzy, kinky or if you are bald. why bitch about this. fucking christ, is that all you have to think about. what about the rapists, killers, dope dealers, and a whole host of unsavory shit, going on in this fucking city, at any given minute. get a fucking life.

  7. LS, I generally enjoy your comments, however, this time, I gotta point out you’re teetering on hypocrisy. Why bitch about the ridiculousness of OP’s bitch when there’s “a whole host of unsavory shit going on” out there. (side note: that line made me laugh)

    Who cares if she’s bitching about people making a big deal about her hair? Total legitimate bitch.

    and OP – just flat out tell the person to fuck off; or, kindly direct them to this site and see if they figure it out.

  8. it’s a legitimate bitch. i recommend the hair issue of colors magazine for some cool pics. tell them to shut their stupid word hole

  9. Your “friend” must think that all blacks are supposed to have huge afros. What a douche. Really piss them off by colouring your hair pink, green, and orange with a twist. Colour it so it says “Fuck Off”.

  10. Shit, my dad got a perm last year and he’s the whitest dude on the plant and he ended up with a huge effing afro. It was *priceless*

    Who effing cares who does what with their hair? I didn’t know black people were supposed to have one style of hair. Your friend must know something I don’t because I didn’t really think “race” was supposed to dictate how people can style their hair…because if my dad can have an afro…I’m sure OP can have straight hair.

    Tell your friend to get bent. (Yes, I’ve revived the ‘get bent’ bart simpson term from 1992 or something. deal with it :P)

  11. So, to reverse that, white chicks who perm their hair into whatever the fashion of the day is are trying to be like black chicks? Whatever is wrong with anyone of any race or gender choosing a hairstyle that they like and going with it? Racially designated hairstyles! What’s next??!!?? Sheeeeesh!

  12. I have white hair growing in and I have it coloured black/dark brown to match the hair of my youth… what does that make me? I also use mascara, and like how lip gloss makes my lips shiny. and ARGH it makes me mad when people say I look pretty! Damn them!

    also, Black Dynamite is the SHIT! “shhhh… you’ll wake the other bitches”

    also “hahah! I threw that shit before I walked in the room!” (much funnier if you’ve seen the movie)

  13. I have naturally curly hair and I got bad advice one time at a salon to get a perm. They knew how curly my hair was and they used the smallest thing for really tight curls. I had an afro. I had to chop my hair all off because it was unmanageable.

    Now I straighten my hair because its so much easier to work with. Its too the point that when I came into work last week with my hair down and curly, not straight, the kids (I do lunch and after school care) went crazy! They kept asking me why I curled my hair. They were surprised to find out that its naturally that way, thats how much I straighten it.

    Anyway, its your hair, your body. If you want to shave your head and dye your scalp pink, go for it and fuck everyone else.

  14. Honestly OP, just ignore them. I watched a documentary on black children who had self-esteem issues because of their skin and hair, in the face of the ‘white’ image of beauty. It made me sick to my stomach and people really need to mind their own fucking business about what it means to be beautiful. You are beautiful OP, and don’t let anyone ever tell you otherwise.
