i am not a mother but i know that when i have kids they will not be running around with dirty uncombed hair or dirty clothes. I considered that *** to be child neglect.

dumb dumb and dumber

@justme981 if you didnt find the thread intresting then why did you feel the need to put your two cents in? I suspect that your probably one of the white trash chicks that im referring to . Get a life!

I agree, white parents do not know how to tend to african american structured hair, biracial kids hair is a bit different from your average black child's hair texture but it's still black hair, and let me tell you they have their children hair any kind of way.

I went to school with this girl named Ashley and her *** never did her hair, she used to come to school and ask one of us for some gel and a brush and comb and slick her own hair in some kind of ponytail.

I guess they feel like hey my baby's mixed so it's gonna be pretty and hair is just fine the way it is.

And most of the time the momma be sloppy, and unkept as well.

that bothers me so much

its like they dont even care they child look a hot raggedy mess

nelrud did i direct my post toward you?

Keep generalizing a whole race of people. It's prehistoric and dumb dumb and dumber. If you say "white woman" as a white woman I'm going to come in and call your post dumb. Just like if i were to be ignorant and post

"Black women don't ever take care of their kid's hair and let them run wild and then wonder why people are grillin them"

I bet you'd have something to say to me about it, right?

@Justme

So when someone says something about a white woman it's generalizing but anything about the white man is fine, especially in the Obama threads?

I've seen so many others get dissected this same way and it wasn't an issue with anyone, but then again white women are held on a pedestal.

Now I can agree with you that some white women don't know what to do with black hair. And that's their own dumb fault for not researching it. My frustration is generalization. Because I see black mother's who may know what to do with their kids hair havin their kids runnin around lookin crazy because they haven't done sh!t with their hair. But it absolutely never crosses my mind to think "why do black mothers not ever do anything with their kid's hair." Cause it's ridiculous. Wake up stop generalizing races.

@Hotmamma, can you be specific because I don't condone any type of negative racial stereotype.

Im a lil offended by this thread, but its true some white mothers dont know how to do mixed kids hair, but not ALL.

I would just like to let it be known, my hair is fabolous, has ALWAYS been kept up and my mom made sure I did so. So its not fair to say all mothers. That goes for the skin also. Most kids have the prettiest skin color and hair, so its unfair to say otherwise.

Growing up ALOT of black girls disliked me for no apparent reason. I dont know why and I still dont know why till this day. My mom and everyone else always told me it was jealousy because of my hair and skin color. But as I got older, they knew not to mess with me any longer after I had to make an example outta one of them ***!! LOL!!!

thank you blackitalian, that's all im tryin to say.

No one's trying to be rude or anything my aunt is white my cousin is white, but I just agreed with the original poster of this thread because sometimes it's true.

No one's being particular sorry is I offended anyone.

I mean sorry if I offended anyone, my apologies, and sorry for the typo.

Hotmamma you're right the key word is SOMETIMES this is true.

Don't generalize a race.

I'm not here to stick up just for whites. If a blogger came in here talkin crazy about all black people are this or all black people are that, you're gonna get the same reaction for me cause I don't like that sh!t. It's disrepectful, whether it's about blacks, whites, asians, hispanics, whoever. I think it holds us back.

@ Hotmomma

It aint nothing serious. No problem @ all.

right cause asian hair and black hair is exactly the same.

i doubt that any "black ***" were jealous of your "faboulous" mulatto hair and skin. They probably just couldnt stand that you thought you were cuter because of it.

Okay I just wanted to make sure I didn't offend anyone because that wasn't my intentions at all.

LMAO @ 78SIS

Thats the attitude insecure females have these days. They are soooo ready to say "she think she cute, or better than everybody" when thats never the case. Its just they see a pretty girl whp is mixed and they feel they have to try her or push her buttons to see how "black" she is or whatever! They do that untill you make an example outta one of them!

@blackitalianchick

Who exactly is "they" because last time i checked we were all black! You just came off as conceited when you were talkin about how faboulous your hair was. Get over yourself! Your are not that fancy!

"right cause asian hair and black hair is exactly the same."

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

first what is "asian hair" and what is "black hair"?

secondly

"Asian hair" and "black hair" the same? NOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

Asians have bone straight, weighted and kind of lifeless hair!

BLacks have heavy hair that can be curled or straigtened and it will maintain its BODY and BOUNCE. Blacks have tecture they can acheive a natural look or be straightened if they choose.

So I bed to differ!

oH AND ON TOPIC...I wont say EVERY white woman with a black child can not do their hair and keeps them looking dusty but I will say EVERY white woman that I HAVE SEEN with a black child can not comb their hair and keeps them looking dusty.

So its not generalization if I say, NOT ALL but ALL I've seen right?

I think your photo lab experiences are isolated incidents, and aren't representative of all biracial children.

I'm a biracial man with a white mother, and growing up as a child, I NEVER had any personal grooming issues. My mother kept my brothers and sister clean, neat and presentable ALL the time.

@ 78sis

"They" is the females I referring to that didnt like me growing up in school because I was mixed race and most happen to be black girls. But the funny thing is, ALL my friends were and still are black. It was just when I was younger and in high school, I got alot of hatred from black girls for no reason at all. And the reason I say it had to be jealousy, is because I was very quiet and shy in school. But yet they still found a way to hate me. But I'm grown now. (22yrs old)

Today I have no problems with that. Ofcourse girls that dont know me look at me side-ways at my job or whatever, but its not as bad as it used to be.

And in no way am I conceited, just confident. And the comment I made about my hair being "faboulous" was a joke. Dont take it that seriously because, trust me, I'm not

I SEE IT IN THIS LOW-LIFE *** CITY ALL THE TIME. I LOOK AT THESE MOSTLY FAT NASTY WOMEN AND WONDER WHY THEY DON'T TAKE THEIR BOYS TO A BARBER OR GET THEIR GIRLS' HAIR BRAIDED.

IT'S OBVIOUS WHAT YOU'RE SEEING IS THE USUAL WOMAN WHO HAD KIDS WITH A PIECE OF *** THEN HE LEFT AND HIS FAMILY PROBABLY ISN'T EVEN IN CONTACT WITH THE KIDS BECAUSE A LOT OF THESE WOMEN DON'T LIKE BLACK WOMEN-GO FIGURE.

IT *** ME OFF WHEN I SEE A CUTE LITTLE BLACK KID WITH THEIR HAIR ALL OVER THEIR *** HEAD, BUT WHEN THE KID HAS A BLACK MOM-USUALLY YOU DON'T SEE THAT.

UNTIL THOSE UNFORTUNATE KIDS LEARN HOW TO DO THEIR OWN HAIR, THEY USUALLY LOOK LIKE SCHITT(BY THE WAY, IT'S NOT ALWAYS AN ECONOMIC PROBLEM. WHAT THE HELL IS UP WITH HEIDI KLUM'S BOYS AND ZAHARA JOLIE-PITT?!!??)AT LEAST THEIR KIDS ARE CLEAN, BUT THE HAIR.

THE WHITE WOMEN WITH BLACK KIDS OUT HERE, NEED THEIR SORRY *** KICKED.

BTW I'M NOT TAKING BACK A *** THING I WROTE BECAUSE I KNOW WHAT I SEE EVERY DAY.

MY NEICE IS BIRACIAL BUT SHE WAS RAISED BUY US BECAUSE HER MOMIS FROM TRAILER TRASH AND WHENEVER SHE WENT TO VISIT NOT ONLY DID SHE COME HOME DIRTY, AND SMELLING LIKE CIGARETTE SMOKE BUT HER HAIR WAS NEVER DONE.

I HAVE A VERY GOOD FRIEND WHO IS ASIAN AND MARRIED TO A BLACK MEN AND HER BOYS ARE IN THE BARBER SHOP EVERY OTHER WEEK. IF SHE HAD A GIRL AND COULDN'T DO HER HAIR SHE'D ASK.

BY THE WAY BLACKITALIAN, WHERE THE HELL DID YOU GROW UP THAT NO ONE HAD EVER SEEN A LIGHTSKINNED BLACK GIRL WITH STRAIGHT HAIR. I'M FROM MICHIGAN AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE BIRACIAL TO LOOK LIKE THAT AND ALSO NO ONE IS SWEATING THAT. I KNOW I'M OLDER THAN A LOT OF YOU, BUT YOU GUYS SOUND LIKE YOU GREW UP IN THE 20'S OR SOMETHING. WHERE I'M FROM IT'S ABOUT CASH. YOU COULD BE A LIGHT AS YOU WANTED WITH HER TO THE GROUND BUT IF YOU WEREN'T DRESSED TO KILL, WITH YOU HAIR IN THE LATEST STYLE NO ONE CARED.

NO OFFENSE EVERYONE SHOULD BE CONFIDENT, BUT YOU GUYS SOUND LIKE YOU'RE FROM THE DEEP SOUTH OR SOMETHING. I JUST DON'T GET IT, I NEVER SAW GIRLS ATTACKING BI-RACIAL GIRLS. BUT I DO KNOW MY NEICE IN HER PRIVATE SCHOOL HAS BEEN CALLED BIG-ASSED *** BY WHITE KIDS PLENTY OF TIMES. BLACK KIDS NEVER HAVE ANY PROBLEM WITH HER, BUT THEN AGAIN SHE DOESN'T THINK SHE'S BETTER THAN THEM.

@ CARMEL..

Ummmm if your trying to imply I think I'm better then anyone because I'm mixed, you are wrong sweetie. I grew up in a small town in GA, believe it or not, in the projects, the most ghetto/worst nieghborhood in the city. My mom is italian and I never knew my dad is black, who passed when I was 17, I'm now 22. But anyway, growing up in that neighborhood made me tough and learn not to take *** from no one, not even the girls out there that didnt like me. Me and my twin brother were the ONLY mixed kids in that neighborhood and there were only like 3 other kids in my school who were mixed.

Just because I am confident and I just happen to be mixed, doesnt mean I think Im better than you or any other black girl/woman. I'm just stating the facts from my expierences growing up.

**My mom is italian and I never knew my dad, who is black. He passed when I was 17**

OKAY SWEETIE SORRY, MAYBE I'M A BIT OUT OF TOUCH I GREW UP IN THE 'BURBS.

BUT I HAD A CUZ WHO LIVED IN THE PROJECTS WHO LOOKED LIKE LIKE CHAKA KAHN FROM THE 70'S SHE WAS BAD AS HELL AND SHE AND HER SISTERS FOUGHT ALL THE TIME, BUT THEY NEVER PICKED ON BI-RACIAL OR EVEN LIGHT SKINNED GIRLS. IT WAS OVER STUPID *** LIKE MEN BUT COLOR DIDN'T MATTER.

I NEVER FOUGHT AT ALL ACTUALLY, I WAS A MANIPULATOR AND MY FRIENDS DID MY DIRTY DEEDS, YEAH I'M NO ANGEL. SORRY YOU AND YOUR SIBS WENT THRU SO MUCH ***.

I am a little offended by the excema part. Growing up, I had excema really bad. It wasn't because my mom(who is Native American) was a filthy woman and didn't take good care of me, but it was because my skin was/is very sensitive. I don't have as many flare-ups like I did when I was younger, but I still take extra good care of my skin. My 2 year old son is going through the same thing. I have to take certain precautions when it comes to his skin. I do agree that some of those women who let their childrens' skin look all ate up and ashy need to stop being lazy and do something about it.

Its all good Carmel. No harm no foul.

*wowzers*

@marchae57105 I am sorry that i offended you with my comment. i also had exzema really bad growing up but my mother made sure to properly clean and moisturize my skin and not to dress me in any fabric that would make my it worse. If a mother knows that her kid has skin issues why wouldn't they do what they could to minimize their discomfort?

WOW!!!! iT'S 2008 so wassup with the term :mulatto- I mean *** it sound slike a *** drink!

ne ways

I have seen ashy uncombed and unbathed in all races. On the other hand, yes Angie and Brad do need help with Zaharra's hair.

I was gonna cut 78sis a lil slack but after reading this 78sis Flag post i doubt that any "black ***" were jealous of your "faboulous" mulatto hair and skin. They probably just couldnt stand that you thought you were cuter because of it. ---------------------- Your and skin hating idiot! Maybe you thought you could not stand lighter skinned women because you thought they were cute. It's funny, I have gotten that comment from some dark sistahs but never anyone else. Let the brown paper bag test die. Truth be told blacks can be the most critical about other black's skin color than anyone else. This is not a *** cast society, take yo *** to India for that ish.

Thanks kindly!

I can't even comprehend half of these post.... Willie Lynch LIVES!!!!!... Dirty, dingy, smelly and ugly come in all combinations of people

^JUST Cause i was thinking the same thing it's not just white women it's some black women that don't take care of they kids hair or clothes will let them leave the house with no kind of oil in they hair or they body. and IT'S NOT EXCEMA IT'S ECZEMA black women do that shi*t too when all you have to do is get some cream or something cold to control the itch so it's not just white it's blacks too! and this is a blog site if i want to come in a thread and leave my two cents then i can and will

*FLAG ON THE PLAY*

[ILLEGAL USE OF NOT MINDING UR OWN BUSINESS]

no comment, stop being so dayum noisey....

JuicyGirl Flag post I can't even comprehend half of these post.... Willie Lynch LIVES!!!!!... Dirty, dingy, smelly and ugly come in all combinations of people

....Let da Church Say Amen!!

I'm feelin a Lil offended here but only bc of da negative remarks and comments being tossed around towards certain races... We--Afro Americans/Blacks ect are the 1st ones too get up set when someone gets outta line and starts spewing coon/ni%%er/Uncle tom ect.... but within da Same breathe we drop racial slurrs towards other races.... in order to demolish racism in america--world wide...*** we start with ourselves?!?!?!?

I've seen plenty of Black women who couldnt even maintain their own *** hair & there daughter/sonz are walkin around with hair nappier then a cats ***.. & I've seen plenty of white women who can grease the hell outta they childs scalp... perm they babies hair....shampoo it.... twist it up... plat it down... Makin generalization is only dumbing down your intelligence & preventing you from having an unbias view of the subject...

@xfreedomx THANK YOU THAT'S WHAT I WAS SAYING! IT'S NOT JUST ONE RACE THAT DOES THIS but she comes across as one of those people that gets mad when a white woman is wit a black man! I don't care who or what color people are if that person makes u happy then go for it and fu*ck what everyone else thinks!

...riight on SoonYio!!

Cause My Puerto Rican daddy use to Braid our hair up and down da *** block... Put ponytails in out hair with the Zig Zag Parts... Bows and Ribbons and Stillll Get to work on time... for his Next Deposition... & my mother didn't teach him how to do any of it... His NON-Black Mother did..

well my daughters hair is kept up and she has pretty skin,so this aint all mothers of bi racial kids.her hair is cute,and if i have any ?'s about how to do her hair my boyfriends sis in law helps me out.

SOONYIO--thats what im sayin! be w/who u want,im w/a BLACK man that is a great father to OUR daughter and soo happy! everyone should be w/who u want and who makes u happy!

look at all the white women and half breeds that are getting offended because they know what im am saying is true! For the record i did say that 9 out of ten times (not all the time fools!) when i see a white women with mixed kids she looks dirty and her kids do too.Its true that Some black women slack off on their kids appearance but im not addressing black women in this post! You white women that call yourself wanting have black babies need to stop neglecting them by letting them go outside looking any kind of way.

@soonyio Nobody gives a *** that with a black man! this post is about white women who dont bother or dont know how to take care of their mixed kids hair and skin. It is really not that shocking to see a white woman with a black man these days so you can stop thinking everyone jealous of your relationship.

1

It can be a problem across the board. At least white women with biracial children can use the excuse that they don't know how to take care of black hair or black skin, even though I know some of them are just plain trifflin' and in most cases they look just as bad as their kids, if not worse. What about some black women who are dressed in baby phat from head to toe, quick-weaved up, nails did etc. with their poor babies on their hip looking a pitiful mess? It gets on my nerves to see any mother not taking proper care of their children.

There are us white women who do know proper treatment for eczema and hair .ME for 1! and the reason most of these white gALS neglect these issues..is b/c they're black baby daddies don't hang around long enough to let them know its not cool! YOU would give me props if u saw my MUllato baby! and who even uses that term anymore! ..try using the term Biracial! most white women just are ill informed of the treatment of ethnic hair....anyways..my baby has good hair..so i'm not worried...where do u live? when is it ever okay to look like *** and have your kids look dirty! I bet ur from some poor *** town!

@dollfacekilla_2008-you're right mulatto is archaic and so is the term'good hair'. please don't bring your child up with that ignorance.

WOOOOW DATS DEEP !!!

I THINK EVERYONE SHOULD BE HAPPY WITH THE WAY GOD MADE THEM!

In defense of some white women, I have seen them keep up their biracial babies, looking just as cute and as clean as can be. They may not "hook it up" like we can, but to flip the penny, I get tired of seeing our kids with them big *** *** and sooper large barrettes on every available surface of hair, pulling those babies hair out, and ten layers of Royal Crown hair grease on top. So it depends on the hygiene and grooming habits of the INDIVIDUAL person, not the race!

Who ever posted this sh*t obviously ingorant. Come around my hood and you'll see a bunch of black kids with their hair jacked up too and ring worm. I'm black 100% and I say that is a stupid statement. As a matter of fact check my avi. 50% Black 25% Euro 25% Spanish nothing wrong over here!!

If you want to see how many white folks are actually lurking on a black internet site just mention "mixed kids" and watch them come out of hiding! HILARIOUS! LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have seen this many times..And I have also seen where the girls hair looks good. Those are the ones who child's hair come out straight enough for them to handle or they had a few black friends to show them the ropes when it comes to black hair.

"I get tired of seeing our kids with them big *** *** and sooper large barrettes on every available surface of hair, pulling those babies hair out, and ten layers of Royal Crown hair grease on top."

I hate this *** too. Or 0ne year old babies with mounds of braid weave on their heads. I saw one baby look like beyonce by the head the other day

@78sis I AM NOT WHITE DUMMY!

AND U KNOW THIS MAAAAAN LOL No but really i do know some white moms that can do their mixed childrens hair and look after their kids well

wow

lol...white women don't know what to do with the hair of white children, let alone mixed....

But white women aren't too bright either.

OOOOOOOH PLEASE! I'm latina, and i have seen just as many black kids with messed up hair and ashy elbows and all that. It happens in all races, i just think you recognized it more, cause you probably pay more attention to the biracial kids, maybe you were giving their mom the evil eye because she is white. Hopefully you were open minded and kept your eyes opened afterwards to see if you realized all the non bi-racial kids with messed up hair.

the posts on this wall show there are some very dumb people

im a white woman with a black partner, i dont smoke (like someone said white women do, and i dont let people smoke in my house or around my children) my 2 children have fantastic smooth glowing skin that i moisturise twice a day (my daughter was born with very sensitive bad skin but we shopped around to get the right lotion for her), i also shopped around to get her the right shampoo and sprays for there hair which i learnt to style way before i was pregnant on friends hair and my children are always dressed smart and clean in good quality clothes.our children mean the world to us, our lives evolve around the chidren i also aint dumb i finished uni with a degree before i had my 2 children and i work full time, my in laws and my family are all very close we get on great and my partner and i have many friends of different races, i definately didnt go out there for a biracial baby, it was as simple as i fell in love with my partner (his race never mattered) and we wanted a family together, hes a fantasic father.i also aint no nasty woman i dont cheat, i would never. and as someone else said white women go running at mixed kids being mentioned on a websites well they are probably women trying to find out how to manage there childrens hair. i have seen children of different races that are dirty and neglected but i dont JUDGE i have never had any problems with white women seeing me with a black man yet off black women i have had the comments of "why cant you stick to your own kind" "whats hes doing with a white woman" etc etc etc however i have never had a problem with black men yet white men have been racist so it depends on the person and there opinions i also dont come from no low life *** city as someone said( the only low lifes i can see are the nasty people on this wall), we live in a small quiet village in the middle of the uk, i want my children to be proud of being black and white and should embrace being part of both races , i bring up my children to judge people on how they treat them not on what race they are or how much money they have, or even if they have bad hygiene. all of you should grow up and stop being so ignorant and nasty

dont you think thats kinda mean

i am new to this site and after just reading this wall and posting my comment i have just looked at other posts on the website, wow theres alot of racism, yeah people have different colours of skin, get over it

Wow, I think you just have a problem with half white children. Plenty of full or mixed kids sometimes look unkept. Maybe they were rushed out the house, you dont see these people every day so you dont know their ***. Youre putting too much thought into this.

carmel666 is racist, ive read her comments in other posts aswell, far too much attitude

and as for 78sis horrible nasty person, my children are not half breeds and why would anyone be jealous of anyones relationship, get a life and a brain

nasty ignorant people, i feel sorry for there children and what attitude you are showing them

IF I HAD KIDS, I WOULD COMB THEIR NAPPY LITTLE HEADS AND WASH THEIR BUTTS.

UNLESS IT WAS OH8SEVENS BABY.

dayum...the hit dogs are barking like a mofo in here.

uh, black women don't "perm" their hair.

***congrats yellowjackets!!!

could've sworn the poster specifically stated that it was based on the demographic of the specific people rolling through her place of employment.

*** it...silly me for actually reading and understanding that it was NOT a generalization. I mean seeing as how I've never met EVERY white woman with bi-racial kids, I would never presume to apply any of these statements to said population.

people really need: a) better ***, b)yoga.

Who bumped this mess? SMH

lmao @ "beyonce by the head" ctfu @ this coonery

I am sooo sick of this *** site. Everything is race this race that. 1st off I cldve sworn she said in a photo lab! Soo there is no *** reason for the kids to look a mess if their taking pictures for all to see! My god mother is white as is many in my family, so she had to learn how to fix her childrens hair [mixed]. Even if other races aren't big on hair issues like the AA community..one thing is for sure most ppl will not want their kids to look a mess for pictures. That is all.

it's not the childrens fault that the mother is unaware of how to take care of "black hair". but a ponytail would do just fine.

the sad thing is these children (bi-racial or otherwise) grow up with such a complex and tend to overcompensate for the insecurites that the parents allowed to happen.

bi-racial or not it is the parents responsiblity to propery tend to the hygene of the children...if they give a ***.

I think it all up to the parent and their responsibility for the child's grooming and hygiene when the child is responsible enough to do it on their own. No matter what race the child is I think personal grooming and hygiene are essentials to learn for any child growing up. True some white women dont know how to do this with their kids but any race of woman can be guilty of not managing grooming and hygiene standards.

White guys cud have big wallets but a lil *** ain't gone keep katie around....

You [EXPLETIVE] barrel boys with ya lil cheese its

I blame it on the black man for *** *** ass cracka ***!!!!!! Now his sins r those mutt demons and now THEY R TROLLING EVERYONE!!!!!!!

Lightskinned people are only here to remind BLACK WOMEN AND BLACK MEN OF THEIR SELF-HATRED!!...

I'm mixed with black and white myself. And my hair is mixed. But guess what my hair stayed done as a kid. Some women in general don't know how to do hair at all. It's no skin color to that.

This post in general is racist. I think there is definite truth that white women and other non black women ate generally clueless about caring and styling black or textured hair - mainly because hair styling is something you learn from your own mother and other female relatives. I am mixed myself with Asian Latino and white American so no I didn't grow up practicing plaits and cornrows. It wasn't part of my culture. But my own unruly thick hair helps me realize how to care for my half Jamaican daughters curly hair. Curly hair is fragile, prone to breakage, thick, and the texture can vary throughout the head. I think I'm very skilled at combing, detangling, and moisturizing my daughters hair. As for braids - completely clueless. But I have heard that tight elastics and crazy tight braids are damaging, can cause more breakage, and push back a woman's hairline. So my daughter being under 2 wears simple styles with cloth covered elastics. Every product I put into her hair is purely organic and/or for textured/Afro hair. So she sports simple styles like Afro puffs, ponies, and wearing her hair either out in a fro with a bow, a frohawk, or curly with leave in conditioner. I think a lot of white Hollywood celebs aren't lacking in their care for their child's hair - I think it's because they are more educated than the general public and support black and biracial children in loving their own African features and natural hair type. I for one would never have dated, married, or reproduced with a black person unless I found his features supremely attractive. Black skin, features, and hair are gorgeous. I think many non black women with biracial or mixed kids just can't win in this one. I feel like if I comb my daughters curly hair and leave it down than I'm not doing her hair "right" in the eyes of black women. Mostly the same group of black women who relax their 3 yr olds hair and goop on tons of scalp pore-clogging "ethnic" hair grease filled with synthetics and parabens. These same women who pile their daughters hair with braids, beads, and elastics will have 15 year olds with receding hairlines and broken split ends. On the other hand if I load on the gel, relax, or at the very least take her to the Dominican salon then the Afro centric chicks are shaking their head and wagging their tongue at my "self hating husband" and my daughters super straight hair. Black people, it's just hair! Straighten, curl it, or leave it. Braid it, plait it, or weave...a beautiful black woman is a black woman is a black woman. And that's exactly who my daughter is when I'm out with her and a few wispy curls let loose from her pony tail and fly in her face. A young girl who should grow up treasuring and loving her hair and not feeling like she needs to force it into certain styles to appease white corporate America or braid, or weave it to look presentable in eyes of black women. For the record the double standard most black women hold is pure insanity. The belief they can and should have the option to date or procreate with any race on the earth but then frown their nose at non black women with black men. The same women who claim one drop of black blood makes you a black person yet roll their eyes and criticize a mere child or discredit their mother in front of them. I swear when out in public, the vibe I get from most black women is that I don't deserve my husband or my child and that THEY could do such a better job as a black wife and mother. No, wait, I've actually heard this argument. We need to get past all this - this judgement without getting to know, the prejudices, the animosity. We are all human beings. We are all women. And my daughter no matter how light still shares a common ancestry with you. So if I come into your photo booth and my daughter is being a typical 2 year old tryna pull out her ponytails or crying don't assume it's because I'm a failure as a mother due to my skin tone.
