'Skin Deep' in Tangled Hair Politics

It's me again! Yeah!!!!!! JK. Sorry, I'm in a wierd mood.

Anyways....I saw this article and wanted to pass it along for your reading enjoyment. It seems we just can't get enough of the natural hair issue and people love talking about it. Heck, it's why you come here, right?!

If you like reading The New York Times, check out this article. In parts it kind of feels like someone is beating a dead horse-we know the hair industry is widely supported by black female patrons, etc etc.




"Anyone who thought such preconceptions were outdated would have been reminded otherwise by some negative reactions to the president’s 11-year-old daughter, Malia Obama, who wore her hair in twists while in Rome this summer. Commenters on the conservative blog Free Republic attacked her as unfit to represent America for stepping out unstraightened."

Of course we know it's still an issue but it irks me when people talk about kids.
So check it out and let me know what you think!
