i found this on contexts.org. i've read the comments on this and i still don't get the meaning of this ad... do you?erplexed
(here are a couple of the comments that were posted after the initial post.)
In honor of Black History Month I thought I’d post this Family Dollar ad from last February, sent in by Gloria K.:
As Gloria says, “I guess nothing honors African-American heritage quite like cream relaxer.” Indeed. If only they’d included some skin lighteners, we’d really be set.
As a person with super, extremely, extraordinarily curly-for-a-White-person hair, I am telling you: do not let anyone convince you that you should try these products to straighten your hair. This stuff will burn the **** out of your scalp. You will feel like it is on fire. I can't imagine that it doesn't feel about the same for Black women. This is a product invented to torture people.]
Gwen, as a fellow thick/curly hair, have you tried the olive oil leave in conditioner in the ethnic hair care (that sign on the store aisle always makes me cringe) section? It’s amazing. Also the wide, thick toothed combs that are sold there – they changed my life.
All you can do is laugh.....
