All of this constant back and forth regarding Wendy Williams' comment of Viola Davis' natural hair -- I'm over it!!!!---The insulting words "nappy hair" has never left any communities that have black culture. I personally like WW and I don’t care about that remark its her opinion. I would rather hear comments from WW due to her having a platform that isn't all condescending to our culture. People like Nicky M, Lil Kim, Beyonce, Ciara etc you can see these ladies trying their BEST to be anything other than black by any means necessary (this is what the natural hair community should be working to abolish) . Many blogs have spoke about WW comments, but truth be told she has never had a relaxer in her life as for as I know. Under ALL that wig--lolll-- is natural hair. I blame her parents and family for her negative reflection of not just her "thin natural hair" but also her weight, her height etc. We as a community need to build up these young ladies that are coming up behind us, the elders didn’t do it for us so we have an obligation to do it for them-- not just their natural hair, but their darker skin, thick bodies, broad noses and large lips the entire package. To me being natural is an awareness that I have never endured within myself and that is why I love the entire journey... its not a fad or a fashion style and that is my reasoning for posting this blog.
Other cultures can look in awe and give compliments of our features, but we cant-- as a society we all have to do better
'to know better is to do better'
