“You know the same wound that prevents you from the mere thought of showing your natural hair (because it’s “nappy”), the same wound that caused little dark-skin girls (and grown women) to secretly wish they were a tone or two lighter, the same wound that identifies Beyonce as the black standard of beauty.” WHAT?! No, I don’t know, because this passage of text doesn’t apply to me and a lot of other black women. I Love my black skin that I inherited from my African ancestors and never wished to be any lighter than my dark brown skin already is. Also, I AM NOT MY HAIR. This is a slanted, pedestrian piece of crap of writing right there. SMH
Just because it doesn’t apply to you personally doesn’t mean that it’s not reality for many young black women. There’s a reason the students in my high school classes used to argue about which of them had “Spanish” or “White” in them.
I love Michelle Obama she sets a new look for black woman. I love her style in class. She will be in the office for four more years. You have a problem with it. Deal with it
