I’ve recently been watching Deep Space Nine. He looks like Odo, the shape shifter who takes human form, but must spend several hours in a bucket due to the effort.

his eyes are too close together and it looks like he’s had face work done

Me too. What’s up with his face?

Isn’t he a bit young for fillers? They’ve ruined his face.

He’s so very unattractive to me.

He’s not the only one...

Black folk=Black women. Why do we have to justify wanting support for everything with the most vocal Black men who even admit to not knowing what they’re talking about? :-/

Black women who dare to wear their hair natural are told by their MOTHERS to “go do your hair” and “no man will ever want you.”
They earn their way to college and earn a national basketball championship and they’re called “Nappy Headed H**s” on national radio (and people are more horrified that their hair was insulted…

Given their shenanigans over the past few years, I wasn’t surprised.

What’s funny to me, is that there are so many people commenting that admittedly don’t know what the problem is here (this goes for the post from yesterday too). There are way too many uninformed opinions on display here. It’s only recently that there have even been brands that cater to our hair needs. Not only that,…

This issue is obviously too complex for you, but go back and read the paragraph that says the commercial attempted to equate white women’s hair “issues” (should I go blonde or stay a redhead?) with the tangled socio-sexual-economic-political issues that black women have had and continue to have heaped on our heads…

No, Becky, you obviously haven’t explored the context because if you had you wouldn’t have come up in here with your yammering about how Black women weren’t erased when we clearly were.

Yes there is something you’re missing. and Damon said it in the article. they framed the message of the ad about “hair hate” when being marginialized/antagonized/discriminated against because of your texture hair is specific to afro textured/black women not blond girls who just cant find a cute style.

Yup and while using YouTube naturals is promotion, actually mass produced and targeted advertising they never really did when their customer target was Black women. Of course, now that there are magazine ads and commercials, it’s mostly white people.

Sundial Brands built their business on the patronage of Black women, yet they have been discontinuing some products and changing the formulas of others. Now that their products are no longer effective on Black women’s 4b or 4c textured hair, that is the very definition of “forgetting their base.”

Yo! This article needs to be put on the Jezebel page just like the last one.

Send them this.

I wish I could say I was surprised but I’d be lying if I did.

Dude, one of those exact people bitching about “racism” from the previous post has been trying to tell me that the confederate flag isn’t a hate symbol. Sooooo... Let me get this straight. Black women being upset about these commercials = RACISM! Flying the confederate flag proudly = NOT RACISM!
