I'm not attacking Malcolm or the NOI. The point is that the NOI and Malcolm X, who's proclaimed goal was to resurrect the spiritual, mental, social, and economic condition of the black men and women of America, woulda ensured that women didn't relax and kept their hair natural.
We'll have to agree to disagree on the bolded, for reasons why I won't go into & hijack this thread. The reason why lies in an knowledge and understanding of the ideology that would come from first hand experience with the NOI. I won't be getting in that discussion on the net. The MGT were both natural and relaxed as they are today. I will leave it at that.
The fact that they didn't means that someone who wants to evoke Malcolm X or any sort of NOI theology in the "relaxing is bad" debate needs to find some other historical figures/organizations that are in line with their beliefs.
