i think you missed the point, it is not WHAT you do, but WHY you do it. like I said before, you can say what you want but I have kept the company of several sista's in my life and I can say that only about 5% of them were comfortable without upholding the tradition of straight hair as adopted by African Americans back in the day to be Accepted into this racist society. They did not want to be "pikaninnies"... http://www.ferris.edu/HTMLS/News/jimcrow/picaninny/three.jpg or mammies http://www.ferris.edu/HTMLS/News/jimcrow/mammies/more/lbj.htm

the black male musicians followed this trend so that they could resemble black women who straightened thier hair so they could perform in front of white women and look "harmless". That is why little richard wore so much make-up. later it became a fad...
