if that post was truly meant for me or not but I never made an argument for afros making people more intelligent or spiritually connected. My gripe is with people who question a sistas motives for wearing and growing her hair naturally (as opposed to expensive chemical treatments). The question should be "why are you continuously using harsh chemicals on your hair?" and "why do you want to alter your hair's natural state in the first place?" This question should be posed to black women ages 6 and up. I'm sure the answers would be astounding.
