[QUOTE]Originally posted by Doug M: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by -Just Call Me Jari-: [qb] [b]Which of the 3 are wearing their own hair in a natural style?[/b] WTF, All of those styles look nothing like a Hair Style worn by White Women or non black women, so what is your point. Africans have always changed their hair styles that look nothing like their natural state..yet retain an obvious African style..

Majority The ones who get their hair straight do not do so to emulate white women but Mixed black women. As I said White Women do not have straight hair but Thin, stingy hair, Asain women are the ones who have "Silky" straight hair. White Women perm and staighten their hair t emulate Asians. [b]Please show me anywhere on the planet or in Ancient Egypt where they used destructive means to achieve such hair styles.[/b] Again majority of AA are not perming their hair enmasse for the very reason that it damages black hair. Majority of AA get braids or wear weaves, not Perms. [b]Shaving the head is not necessarily destructive. Weaving other peoples hair or fake hair is also not necessarily destructive either. However, the processes used for African American hair are destructive and this is because of the history of the American hair care industry.[/b] Read above, majority of AA wear extensions, Weaves or Braids not Perms, and Im not a woman so I can't comment on why the ones who perm their hair do so. Even then Majotiry of AA who get Perms get a style that is worn by Black Women only, not to emulate white women. [b]Africans didn't have chemical relaxers and perms even 500 years ago. And African hair as well as black peoples hair all over the world vary in texture, so they style it all kinds of ways. That fact doesn't make the African American methods and styles any less destructive on their hair.[/b] As I said Africans were colonized and subjugated as well. Your blabbering that AA introduced Perming and Skin Lightening to Africans is unfounded. Step into Somalia, North Africa and even some SSA nations and you will find Blacks hating on other Blacks who appear more Bantu. No where in our History have AA genocided other AA who appear more Bantu, that was an African thing. You Africans have your own self hate issiues that have nothing to do with AA's. You only bash AA because we are an easy target. [/qb][/QUOTE]Jari, the way African Americans treat their hair is not the way Africans treat their hair and is certainly not the way the ancient Egyptians did it. You said it yourself. Therefore, comparing the history, culture and circumstances of African Americans and their hair treatment to Africa or Egypt makes no sense. They aren't the same. In the American historical development of hair styles and treatment, race is most definitely an issue and trying to deny or downplay it makes no sense. Now today's African American women may not think of it that way, but that does not change the history or development of chemical processes and heat treatments for African American hair which only really came about 100 years ago and are definitely rooted in the history of racism in this country. I am talking of the social and cultural history of the way hair is treated among African Americans and you are claiming it is purely simply Africans being creative........ and race has nothing to do with it. Right. It doesnt make sense to compare AA hairstyles to African hairstyles, especially since those you posted are 100% natural. And none of those hair styles match the popular styles of African American hair and weaves. Please show me where any of those Africans had to go through any sort of special chemical process or have weaves and extensions applied to have those looks. They didn't. And that is the point. All Africans don't have the same hair texture and therefore the same hair styles. I already acknowledged this. But that doesn't make the hairstyles and processes used by African Americans "natural". Chemical relaxers and straightening combs are not "natural". [/QB][/QUOTE]
