I haven't unsubscribed to anyone over this. Like Elle said, I'm just there for the information. I don't care what their politics are, particularly if they are not putting it in their videos.

It makes a lot of sense for relaxed ladies to be in this movement, because at the end of the day, this goes deeper than hair; it's about total acceptance of the black self.
So I should cheer you on, but not have a say on how it affects my people? I should be disrespected but not have a feeling about it because you have an Afro and I don't? You have a right to be more passionate about it that me, meanwhile your criticizing people who are supporting the movement for whatever reason they feel? Instead of trying to curb ignorance?
Maybe you have no problem living on a "side line" from time to time, but I do.
You've redirected the topic just like Nikki, but from this moment on I refuse to come back in this thread. I leave it at that, because you and Nikki are not worth my time anymore.
Saludable84 watch ppl liken this discourse to being similar to us "excluding" Becky an em. Imo it isn't the same because regardless of whether blk women relax or go natural, we are all are affect the same. Sent from my Snow White Frost Galaxy S4 using LHCF
So, just because you wear your hair "Natural" don't mean you're down with the movement. The former CEO where I work sported a TWA for the 12-13 years she ran the company and was the biggest, hugest, Uncle Tom since Clarence Thomas. Maybe the Biggest one on the Planet. So don't get it twisted and equate "Blackness" with Natural-ness.
QFTPC uploaded a video answering the questions/rumus about her being involved with Texture Media: I'm Tired of Rumors Started...QFTPC & TextureMedia **FULL Disclosure**
I feel I can use any term I feel appropriate to apply to the situation in the Workplace I experience for 12+ Years. And I'm Grown.
So, for the sake of being P.C. let's just say, this particular woman had a Great Affinity for White Women. (White people in general).
I think she was upset & disappointed when her only Son married a Black woman instead of a White Women (yeah it was that deep).
Black women, Relaxed, Natural, Braided, BKT'ed Twisted Out whatever...sat there and watched this woman steadily 'promote' less qualified White Women at a faster pace than well educated Credentialed Black Women.
She looked at other Black Women as a "Threat"
Before she came and took over, Well qualified Black Women held spots as General Counsel and various /numerous VP positions.
She came in and dismantled everything and put a bunch of 'lesser' qualified White Women & Men in many of those spots where Black Women were kickin' butt & takin' names.
In the end however, her White inner Circle set her up and she ended up being forced out of the Organization into retirement.
She will forever be the Biggest Sell-Out I have ever seen to this date.
Yeah....She may have 'looked' the part and being down for "The Movement" but trust me, her actions and her decisions demonstrated something entirely different.

It's like Feminism and Black Feminism. In my opinion it works similarly.
No we are not. Which is why I had more disapproval for going natural from black women then I did from WW. Don't try and put words in my mouth. If you are relaxed you ARE NOT NATURAL! If you are a WW you ARE NOT TEAM NATURAL.

Why are you so angry? And why are you yelling?
I was waiting for this, never fails.No we are not. Which is why I had more disapproval for going natural from black women then I did from WW.
Interesting that you wrote two different things. No, if you are relaxed, you are not natural. Duh. But you can, however, be '#teamnatural' as in, supporting the movement. What if you're relaxed and have three natural daughters? Or if you're transitioning? One month post? What about three years post? It starts gettting a lil ridiculous at a certain point.If you are relaxed you ARE NOT NATURAL! If you are a WW you ARE NOT TEAM NATURAL.

But who was dictating? And what is there to dictate? I thought the 'movement' was pretty much solidified that '#teamnatural is for Africans, at home and abroad'. look: sorry 'bout that, Mr. Garvey )I never said they couldn't support. I said they shouldn't dictate. They can cheer in the corner next to Becky.

Because they relax their hair, they basically want to be "Becky". Right?
This isn't a Relaxed vs. Natural debate, so please do me a favor and miss me with that.
Please and Thanks!
Also, what's your definition of support? Because as I remember it, people didn't have to show their support on some sorry behind "sidelines".
Non-blacks whom supported the civil rights movement walked side by side with the same BLACKS this movement directly affected, though it didn't really benefit them at all.
So my question to you is...
Why can't a relaxed haired BLACK woman, support a natural haired BLACK woman side by side in a "fight" to preserve a movement that wholeheartedly represents the BLACK woman?
Again, you're not making sense to me?
