You’re gonna get like, 50 replies now about how the “real racism” here is directed towards white people :/

For the record, I don’t give a damn about what products white people use in their hair. If that is your takeaway, then you’ve missed the point. Also, I cannot speak for other black people in Kinja, but I am not your ‘black people whisperer’. To the plethora of racists leaving comments, surely you have better things to…
“I hope your hair breaks off”...that should not have been as funny to me as it was. Lol
Pretty sure it’s fucking biology that’s relegating people to certain hair. Black hair has a distinct texture that is not shared by white hair, not even yours. They need specific products and treatments for that, and a shift away from the more niche products for tight, kinky curls could signal a trend away from…
It’s a two-way street. Why risk alienating the very people who supported the business for so many years?
But to say that only black women should use certain products, and only white women should use other products, is not helping us understand each other better.
Like I said, you don’t get it. It’s the ERASURE of the black phenotype of 4C hair, the bread and butter of the business, and the implementation of colorism (look it up if you don’t know what that is).
You’re not relegated to Suave. This isn’t about white people using the product. It’s more like...the company is alienating their main customer base by not representing them in their advertisements. Like 95% of ads are all white people, if this company is mainly supported by black people then why the hell arent they…
No offense, but you don’t know WTF this argument is about. White women have always been able to use whatever product they want. The issue is this particular company wouldn’t exist today without massive support of unmixed black women with nappy hair. Like, high multi-millions of revenue because nobody else cared to…
Yes. But sometimes things are about being black. And you can’t hold hands across America about it. I have the type of hair that can withstand normal shampoos but benefits from using black center hair products. Some black womens hair (4c to be exact) already suffer from extreme shrinkage and need specially designed…
A faerie is born?
Start with Naptural85, and go from there. I’m quite partial to Camille Rose products myself, but they’re quite pricey. Honestly, what products you need to use depend on what your hair needs.
I use Oyin Handmade products. https://oyinhandmade.com/ Specifically their Juices & Berries spray to moisturize my hair. I also use simple mixture of Jojoba & Grapeseed oils. To twist my hair I use aloe vera gel + flaxseed gel (that I make on my own)
Jefferson deserves to have his grave danced upon by Daveed Diggs in his pink velvet suit.
Aside from the Alien and Sedition Acts John Adams is the founding father with the most morals. He never owned slaves and treated his wife with way more respect than the rest of them.
“But Jefferson is the one I want to travel back in time to punch. Just when I think I can’t hate him any more, I find out some new horrible fact about what a blinkered, hypocritical toad he was.”
Sounds like you confused “classics” with “popular old books.” Cooper and Gone with the Wind are considered interesting cultural historical pieces because of how popular they were but aren’t read or talked about much for their literary merit.
Oh, god, don’t watch the HBO John Adams miniseries (adapted from the David McCullough biography). They cast this guy as Hamilton, which is a double-insult - not only is he white, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen him not play a villain, ever, and he definitely played Hamilton as a villain - and they treat Jefferson…
Ugh, Margaret fucking Mitchell.
Darn right, since GW 1) actually had reservations about slavery but lacked the guts to do anything about even his own slaves during his lifetime; and 2) anyway, the guy would probably be appalled by how these righty creeps treat him like a demigod.
