There's a white news reporter that comes on tv in the mornings. Her hair is thin. Not to be mean but a lot of women on this site would put her hair to shame.
I am still relatively new....so I don't know where this post would even go. I looked around, and I am still unsure. So If i Put it in the wrong place I apologize.
Now to the point.
I was on facebook just earlier today-Kim Kardashian's fan/profile page. And they had this thread going in the discussion board entitled Light Skin vs. Dark Skin Women.
Now....I know I know....sigh...I wasnt falling for the trap. I just went in to inform the fools that it really is a moot point and has no bearing. (It still drives me crazy people are arguing and getting mad over people and their personal preference. I don't even care.)
But as I was posting that I noticed that this female above me had proclaimed that "Black women do not have thick hair". .....I just sat there reading it like this is ridiculous.
Her exact words:
"and btw, black women do not have thick hair. they get hair extensions and weaves to make their hair appear like ours[My note: She meant ours as in white women]... i don't curl my hair to make it look thicker."
And I went from not participating, to nicely explaining to her about black women and our hair. About the varieties in textures, and how we do in fact have thick hair. She was just misinformed...the poor girl...
I probably will send her a link to LHCF, and all the other sites and youtube channels. Show her that yes indeed, we have thick hair. And we do not all wear weaves and extensions all the time. sigh. Thank God for this community, because outside of LHCF, nappturality, fotki, and youtube....I think I might have been banging my head against the wall.
Sorry for the long post, just had to vent

On the board, a lot of black women have really thick hair but in real life most women I know have very thin broken whether it is natural or relaxed. They just don't seem to care about their hair anymore and gave up a long time ago.
Will someone please tell the back of my head that black women don't have "thick" hair? I don''t think it got the memo on that one...
We don't want her a$$ here. Let her stay right where she is and wallow in her ignorance!
Lol, that's funny because when I was young, I thought all Black people had thick hair because that's how our hair is so often described: thick, wild, coarse, etc. Every so often they have to change the stereotype on us, don't they?
Most day my hair is so crazy if I don't ladden it down with product it will be throwin up gang signs especially from the back Okay
WEST SIIIIDDDEE
Mine and yours too! erplexed Pure foolishness I tell you!Will someone please tell the back of my head that black women don't have "thick" hair? I don''t think it got the memo on that one...
I've noticed them obviously throwing their hair around in the mirror while in the restroom at work.... Soooo I turn around the make sure my "behind" is looking okay.
It stops the drama immediately!!!!!
