Cute kid.Lovely hair! Just Stunning! She reminds me of a girl I used to sit behind in first grade. Her hair was so long, she used to sit on her pigtails LOL! Maybe it was all the paste she ate...protein?
ETA: Wait a minute...that was me eating the paste

that's cause folks don't pick up a ***ing book and listen to what everyone else says. it's a little tiring when folks try to talk about what the "average black" person's hair looks like when they never crack open a book, much less travel outside of the country or hell, even been to africa.
go travel the world, see some new sh*t or hell even talk to someone that's seen some things.
There are plenty of people of direct African descent with type 2-3 hair texture (From West African Hausas and Fulanis to East African Amharas and Oromos). You're talking about the most diverse continent and people on the planet- every phenotype that exists will be represented within that population. Furthermore, most black people within recent generations have no clue as to their natural hair type due to being relaxed from age 4. I just knew the majority of my hair was type 4a/b when I went natural when it turned out that it wasn't.
Regardless, her hair is still quite beautiful...even if to some people it is an anomaly
Girl has gorgeous hair!!!
It's funny how some folks on here make threads about how they were asked if they were mixed with something or if their hair was a weave, wig, etc. because it was long and beautiful, etc. and how it offended them or even went into the stereotype of bw and long/short hair, yet some women are turning around and doing the same thing to this little girl.
It comes from within the community, I tell ya.
Asking about someone's heritage is neither a compliment or an insult- it is what it is.
The problem comes in when people try to act as if they are offended cause someone thinks they are mixed. A lot of people on this board project their views on others, and in my case, they couldn't be further from my beliefs.
eta: with regards to earlier comments that may be viewed in a negative light, I never once said anything mean or hurtful about the little girl and still think she's adorable. No jealousy whatsoever.
it's the implication and perpetuation of a stereotype that is the problem. Asking someone their background BECAUSE they have long/beautiful hair is the same as saying, " your KIND don't have hair like that, so what 'other' race GAVE it to you". Not cool. I do think it's unconcious though and people don't understand what they are implying.There have been threads made on here made by posters being asked by folks what is their heritage since their hair is so long, etc. because we all know plain african folks can't grow hair, so yes, to some the question can be seen as an insult.
I'm just saying the same comments made towards this girl are the same ones that posters have made threads about.
