and if natural is a style...does that take away from anything?

isn't blond still in for blk women?
isn't weave still decorating the crowns of many?
aren't perms still buring scalps across the nation (and perhaps beyond) ?
aren't brandnames still etched acorss too tiny or too big titties?
aren't asses still trying to fit in "catch me fuck me" shorts?
aren't those gladiator heels still cutting off circulation of brown legs from clubs to grocery stores?
isn't MAC making its fortune?

why can't blk people have variety?!?!

why can't there be sum blk girls who wear gap and some who wear salvation army? why can't be "skaters" or "hippies" or "grunge" or "preppy" or "retro" or different or normal..and still be considered one.

and why can't independent choose be respected and regarded as independent?

do i tell every blond blk woman i see that she's trying to be Mary j Blige?

do women grip about blk men w/ DREDS? Or do those same ones that discredit "natural women" lust for those "natural brothers"?

why not venture outside of your regualr style?

why not get an afro for a month?

wear a headwrap for a nite?

rock a kufi or african print?

i don't see the problem.

i think people put more emphasis on "natural" then there needs to be.

just b/c you have weave doesn't make you fake.

just b/c you have dreads doesn't make you revoultionary.

WE SHLD KNOW THIS BY NOW.

so why expect those people to change b/c they chose a diferent hair style.

stank people go natural too.

i know crack heads that don't have perms.

i know meat eaters with dreads down to their ass.

don't go by what they look like...go by what they do...

just as (if you aren't sporting a naturl style) if sumone was to label you ignorant or of the "masses" b/c you have a perm..thats upsetting..so why contribute to the utter bullshit of small minds and big mouths?


why do we concern ourselves?


sidenote: we are crabs trying to be lobsters.
