"Your hair so Nappy...

[MsBoinglicious]

its just like the mother****** police! It just Roll up and Parkkkk!!"

Thats what one black guy told another black guy today!

I admit I laughed on the inside .But I kept a straight face I swear fo' gawd I did (held in in so hard i got a headache lol)! Why do we do this to eachother all in public for others (non-whites) to laugh, not with us but at us. Damn fools!

Ever been in public and some black person said something stupid (thinking it was funny) about "us" around non black people?

 

[ANUBIS]

huh?..i dont really understand what your saying

 

[MsBoinglicious]

I'm talking about black people making rude comments to another black people about their hair in front of non black people thinking its funny or okay to do.

He told the other black boy his hair was nappy its like the police, it rolls up (natural hair curls) and parks (I guess the idea that natural hair does not move, so it’s stiff or does not move). He thought he was funny but embarrassed the boy in front of white people.

When I was taking public transportation more, I would hear younger teens doing this...but I think it was for more for their sick and twisted amusement/making fun of someone rather than showing out for white people. Interesting. This is going to be one of those "deep conversation" threads.

 

[Southernbella.]

I couldn't care less whether white people hear or not. Stupid is stupid.

 

[PerplexingComplex]

I don't get the joke.

Anywho, audience doesn't matter to me.

 

[c*c*chic*]

Wow lol the other day, I was taking my clients to the movies and this lil girl -had to b 15 or 16, and another little girl, same age but with a sewn in, were waiting outside the theatre to get tickets. Some boy wanted to get the girl with the sewn ins number. He says to her "I like ur hair, it's so nice and long" girl says thankyou and smiles it off. What does the friend say? "N!gg@, dat ain't her hair! She got a weave!" Loud as all get out. I was embarassed for the girl. Now ignorance is ignorance no matter what color. But when she started yelling, every single white person in the line turned around with a look of disgust. It was a mess!

 

[Kranbery]

Haha! I understand the joke and its kinda funny. But, I don't understand the need to embarrass people in public or bring negative attention to oneself in public. It makes me angry when I see it.

really! the content of refrence in the joke is very clear! lol

I get the roll up & park (I think ), but I don't understand what that has to do with the police.

 

[southerncitygirl]

in the words of my mama......"those are your people". Mom always says thsi when "we" do something ignorant. stuff like this is why white folks think its ok to say or ask us stupid stuff about our hair.

well this is how you know its a "black" joke (someone black came up with it joke)...

okay so let me break it down for ya. I don't know if you ever been to the "hood" before but that’s what the police do to black folks in the "hood". They roll up in their police car and park. For example, like a group of black boys could just be hanging out (in a group walking or standing in front of a house) and the police will "bother" them by parking and intimidating them by just sitting in the car and watching them like they already guilty or they are waiting for something to pop off just cause they black. "Roll up and Park"

Did that make any sense? I hope I explained it well enough.

ETA: 'Boys in the hood' movie is a great example.

Never seen that or just didn't notice it. I only pay attention if they get out the car after parking.

I have an older black uppity coworker who does this It drives me freakin bananas, she only gets loud about hair being nappy when there are non-blacks around, but this lady is crazy, her daughter recently just had a baby and everyone kept asking to see pix of the baby, so she blurts out I aint taking no pic of that nappy headed(feel in the blank). besides that he's a darky. I asked her how could you say that about your grandchild and she told me, she' just being honest.

 

[MsBoinglicious]

... her daughter recently just had a baby and everyone kept asking to see pix of the baby, so she blurts out I aint taking no pic of that nappy headed(feel in the blank). besides that he's a darky.

OMG that is just terrible! Horrible!

 

[Firstborn2]

I know, it makes me sad...But she doesn't think there's anything wrong with what she said, even the non-blacks were shocked by the comment.

 

[MarieB]

That is messed up! How are you gonna talk like that about your own grandchild? SMH!

 

[Irresistible]

we clown each other too much.......

but it's just how we do

I used to have a deep fear , that I would be up in the club, with my big poofy reverting press and someone would yell out 'get a Relaxer B&%$!" and the whole crowd would roar with laughter at me

This should be an unwritten common sense rule

we can do it they can't! kinda like, you can say somethin about your mama but I can't

so on and so forth

And all the time I was thinking the lady drinking the water was you

That's not why. I hear white folks calling each other pasty all the time, but somehow, someway, I don't feel compelled to ask them stupid stuff about their skin.

I will not take responsibility for the fact that they ask stupid questions.

Thank you for explaining because I didn't have a clue!

 

[RosarioLabella]

that reallyy sucks im spanish but my hair is really coarse not like ur regular spanish girl and my friends make fun off me all the time in public not in public..... ive gotten soo use to it i dont even say anything back

 

[kblc06]

bwahahahaha . I'm so sorry, but that **** was funny. I do despise, however, we refer to each other with the N word, even amongst ourselves....sometimes

 

[inspiration150]

I think we need to stop being ashamed of the nappy hair to begin with. Then we won't feel the need to say stuff like that to each other.
