Not for nothing, but it seems like folks read into stuff too much. What if a cat just decides to NOT comb his hair? The decision doesn't have to be religious or philosophical. It can just BE. Then one day he decides to cut it...and then what? Is having an Afro today and shaving it tomorrow a dis to the Black Power movement?

I agree with anyone observing that simplicity. The same can be said of people putting ink on their bodies and branding. To SOME that is DEEPLY rooted in culture and tribal traditions. Where are those that are outraged by that? There are none that I have heard of because nobody OVERTHINKS that. I could care less about it, but I think it is just a question of how a person chooses to adorn him or herself. It doesn't have to be about style.

I have over 10 pieces on my body. They all mean something to me just as that woman's hair (past and present) means something to her. She has the luxury of hair not being permanent.

That is my answer to the original post. Be well.
