I enjoy a good cultural discussion, but the mix of commenters on BGLH is not ideal. Recently, the posts are starting to feel like beating a dead horse. Like I want us to all air our ish out so we can move through it. But it's like half the people are open and the other half are going hard for whatever they believe on both extremes of each issue. It feels uncomfortable ( ... )

Aw that post turned out to be good and thoughtful, they must have moderated it well. But yeah the comment highlighted in the post was inflammatory, just like I find the skinny/fat chick analogy in the first comment to the post inflammatory. I understand we can't walk in each other's shoes, but damn please try. Who cares if The Media tells you your hair/body type is ideal if everyone you actually come into contact with treats it like it's a problem?

I see that there's now 77 comments in multiple pages on that post and it took a turn. When I visited there was 30 at most and everyone was, please stop the BS, natural hair is natural. It was very U.N.I.T.Y ( ... )

no, im saying that's why to me i have nappy hair, because my hair is fuzzy...like it naps up...the shape is curly but the curls are nappy

Oh I was thinking to myself, I have seen a lot of nappyheaded whitefolk, because I go through periods where I spend a lot of time on naturallycurly.com. But maybe I was thinking of this thread where they brushed their hair out, that has lived on for four years; sad that many of the photo links are broken now. The brushouts do not count, cuz their hair has little frizz and clumps together before they brush it. Then again, on the most recent page, I'd call the MandyCurls hair nappy and she didn't even brush it. She looks white at least. However, the "ethnic" nappy headed whitefolk may be only .1% of the nappys.

LOL yeah, I seen some nappy headed white folks too. Actually, I never thought of nappy as an adjective to refer only to black hair. I was always taught that nappy is what happened when you didn't comb/brush your hair, no matter what your race.

Wavy and straight hair are the adjectives that I correlate with "good hair". But I digress, so ya'll continue...

i've heard other people say that but i was never taught that nappy hair had anything to do with hair maintenance...nappy to me means "if you have any doubt, you can tell that person is black by looking at their hair"
