@lax75 It's so obvious that the weave those Yoruba chicks are wearing are fake |

anonymous6: Black people love saying this, but im sorry its just not true. Being lightskin in hollywood/meedia is the exception not the rule. The majority of black actors/actress and celebrities in general, are dark or brown skinned. I think you need to look at it again |
Re: Black Women Rocking Their Natural Hair by Jenifa1: 6:42pm On Sep 25, 2011 |
I love when black women wear their natural hair. to me it suggests courage and strong self esteem. but I also do not fault black women who wear weaves. They wear it for a reason. ie to fit in or to attract male attention. whether we like it or not, black guys are more attracted to weaves than to natural hair. unless you are one of the black girls with naturally curly or "good" hair. lax75 is an anomaly here. @kony, being light skinned in hollywood is a rule for females. we are talking about females not males. |
Re: Black Women Rocking Their Natural Hair by anonymous6(f): 6:44pm On Sep 25, 2011 |
@k.o.n.y I disagree, when I watch all black Hollywood movies the main actress or the woman all the men wants in the movie is always light skinned. I don't see Black women like Genevive Nnaji in Black Hollywood/hollywood( Film folder/section: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ButNotTooBlack ), examples: coming to America Eddie Murphy who played the african prince Hakeem was running after the light skinned african american women over the beautiful brown skinned african princess(played by african american actress Vanessa bell) they had ready for him to marry. Why is the girl everybody has to get has to be light skinned and the one nobody wants has to be dark skinned, when both women are pretty. To be real IN REALITY the african prince or wealthy african dude would have been satisfied with the brown skinned african princess or african female that was picked for him, and not travel all the way to american to find a female [img]http://tbeebk.files./2009/11/coming-to-america-wedding_l1.jpg[/img] [img]http://2.bp..com/-_7MhPujdlXA/TfeJHzHdS5I/AAAAAAAABBY/V6ZAgQNqy4I/s400/VanessaBellCalloway-Princess-Small.jpg[/img] Jumping the Broom The bride is a light skinned black african american women(the person who actually played the part is Paula Patton who is biracial). Also the issue in a way was brought up in the movie when one of the grooms men who is light skinned insulted one of the bridesmaids because she was dark skinned ![]() Remember the titans The actress who played the wife of the black coach(played by denzel washington) of the black & white team was a light skinned african american woman and the actress who played the role was actually Nicole Ari Parker who is biracial or mixed race Nicole Ari Parker [img]http://1.bp..com/-W64aXbicB0E/TlhKcWloDPI/AAAAAAAACj8/WvPjdfE2pY8/s1600/Nicole-Ari-Parker.jpg[/img] Single Ladies Show The characters that play Black women are all played by light skinned women, two are light skinned african american woman(played by Lisa raye & Stacey Dash) and the other one is played by Lauren London who is actually biracial [img]http://3.bp..com/-bO15LVOkX9s/TjxUsSQpxiI/AAAAAAAAALY/352kkicrryc/s320/single_ladies-show.jpg[/img] The african american hip-hop industry most of the time I see mostly light skinned, mixed, latina females with big booties in hip hop videos over brown or dark skinned black american women in these videos https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wW_Vtp-JzV4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZrxXnsMEIM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g5T8XTvDNWM&feature=related dark vs. light girls ![]() Any way at least there is presence of them in videos even though they are few now because in England, the black rappers there only show white females in their videos, and a black female of black decent but most likely she is mixed or a eye candy black female Music folder/Section: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ButNotTooBlack Even in Hollywood movies, if you see a black female play a main role as the "it girl" beside a white male actor, the female is usually light skinned black women, examples James Bond Halle Berry(who is also mixed) played the eye candy black female, the first black women along side James bond, before in older James bond movies black women were always portrayed as ugly and dark skinned Halle Berry ![]() this is how James bond movies[i](the time before peirce brosnan and Daniel craig took on the role of James Bond, I'm talking about when Sean Conneary was James Bond, the original and first James bond)[/i] portrayed Black women before halle berry appeared in the recent james bond movies. the only Black woman then who appeared in the older james bond movies was a black British actress(Caribbean decent) from England, who was dark skinned and wasn't as attractive and her name was grace Jones Grace Jones [img]http://3.bp..com/-HXzd7vqzQXc/TWkK9gIZCjI/AAAAAAAAIGA/FCzixF3GAjY/s1600/33.jpg[/img] Grace Jones in James Bond movie back in the day ![]() ![]() [img]http://eightiesmovies.files./2011/02/viewtoakill.jpg[/img] http://eightiesmovies./category/james-bond/ BUT we all know that Grace Jones is not the standard of beauty of beauty of dark skinned black women, because dark skinned women are far from that image, examples like Genevieve Nnaji, kenya Moore, Agbani Darego, and etc but thats hollywood for you Genevieve Nnaji ![]() Kenya Moore ![]() |

anonymous, don't mind him. lol |
Re: Black Women Rocking Their Natural Hair by anonymous6(f): 6:55pm On Sep 25, 2011 |
I know Jenifa lol I agree with you earlier statement because their are black men out there that do like weave over natural black women hair, also it goes beyond attracting men. In the workplace it is either your hair is natural but straighten(either relaxer or hot comb) OR the black woman has[b] weave or wig in the hair [/b]or they won't get hired. Especially in a professional job like a law firm or corporate world. Oprah and Michelle Obama don't wear weaves but they do straighten it either by relaxer or blow dryer because lets be real Oprah and Michelle wouldn't have gotten far with straighten hair |
Re: Black Women Rocking Their Natural Hair by Lax75(m): 6:55pm On Sep 25, 2011 |
All I will tell you why I despise weave. 1- It doesn't give black women 100% beauty-bragging rights, since you are loaning features from other races. 2- It suggests that the women who wear them don't feel comfortable with their REAL God-given features. Thereby suggesting that black can't be beautiful when it is 100%. 3- It enriches an industry that isn't black. We are its biggest customers. What a shame. Do you see any of them buying features from black women? 4- I once dated a chick who lived by weave. She shed like a dog. Weave all over my place. Even months later, after I had my carpet professionally cleaned and shampooed, I still find strands of her weave. |

More of them. The weave warriors.

Lax you have some points here and there, as I said I don't wear weave but not against black women doing it in a minor way but I feel you are right to a extent but some blame does go to black men to, black men particularly ones in the western world need to start appreciating their womens hair and understand black womens hair, so black women can slowly stay away from that, black men especially in the western world(mainly african american men) but it also starts from the home as well 1 Like |
Re: Black Women Rocking Their Natural Hair by Jenifa1: 7:12pm On Sep 25, 2011 |
anonymous6: I totally agree. not matter how comfortable one is with her natural hair. she is not a one-man island and there are many external factors that influence her choice besides her own internal confidence and pride. ex. employers, family, men etc opinion matter. Like i said, most women wear weaves to fit in the society. and the societal standards are defined in a large part by our celebrities. I have seen many women who wear out their natural hair. I admire their confidence and at the same time feel bad for them because I know the rejections they will face by society. esp if their natural hair is very nappy. same goes with bleaching. it is a horrible thing to do to oneself but the women who do it are not silly or oblivious of the social benefits (in the short term at least lol). It is a fact that men and society in general prefer lighter skin and straighter hair. that is exactly why women do it. It's not a silly reason at all although it has consequences for ones self esteem and health. It's like choosing your poison or the lesser of two evils. |
Re: Black Women Rocking Their Natural Hair by Lax75(m): 7:18pm On Sep 25, 2011 |
^^^ @Anonymous Sister. I do agree that black men are partly responsible for this. Its not just the western world though. In Nigeria too. Why do you think these chicks in Nigeria are trying to copy (even out-pace) the Sisters in the western world, when it comes to "marrying" weave? Corporate world in America also takes some blame, as I mentioned earlier. White folks are intimidated by the Sisters who sport their natural look owing to misconceptions they have, that these Sisters would be rebellious in the corporate world. Personally, I would pick a Sister with braids over one with brazilian, indian, scandanavian weave, anyday. But that's just me. Nothing wrong with a perm, but wearing someone else's hair and expecting to get credit for that is a false sense of beauty IMO. 1 Like |

Jenifa_: This is a shame. Don't know about other men, but when I see a hot black woman with some cute braids, I always thank God for creating my race. |
Re: Black Women Rocking Their Natural Hair by Jenifa1: 7:27pm On Sep 25, 2011 |
Lax75: unless those women are mixed or have naturally long, straight hair, those "cute braids" you talk about are made with extensions (fake hair). |

I always promised myself when I have black children, I will teach not only the females but the males about these issue, black kids need to be taught this from a early age or they get affected but at the same time I won't teach my daughters about weave and wigs to be proud of over their hair but how to rock their hair and make it look nice; and I won't allow them to relax their hair until mid or after high school age |

Why do you think these chicks in Nigeria are trying to copy (even out-pace) the Sisters in the western world, when it comes to "marrying" weave? " true, I can't disagree with that, weave & wig wearing has spread to all black women all over the world from the Caribbean, Latin America and Africa but it is a way of life in Black american now, at least it's not to that extreme in other parts of the world. "Corporate world in America also takes some blame, as I mentioned earlier. White folks are intimidated by the Sisters who sport their natural look owing to misconceptions they have, that these Sisters would be rebellious in the corporate world." I agree that's why many Black women are starting to rebel slowly from this Personally, I would pick a Sister with braids over one with brazilian, indian, scandanavian weave, anyday.

That's is good of you, any Black woman that is with you would be lucky |

Jenifa_: This is true my Sister. However, braids are still considered a natural "look" on black women. And this is why I also appreciate this. I think its a damn sexy look as a matter of fact. |

nolongTing: Notice how this thread didn't get much "press." Seems like many Sisters don't play with their weaves. Was looking at the other threads (south eastern and south western beauties), and noticed the majority of them had weaves on. I wasn't really impressed by the southwestern thread though. Seen better beauties than the ones that were posted. |
