Peace and Blessings Family,
It seems that once a little Black girl comes out of the womb, one of the first things that takes place in her life ... is that she gets a perm or gets her hair pressed. Something has to be done to her hair, for her to be pretty.
Little white girls, little asian girls ... all other little girls ... come out of the womb pretty.
But not our little Black girls.
We rush them to the hairdresser, or the kitchen sink, to make what God gave them something else.
What does this do to a young girl's self-esteem ... her long-term view of herself?
What are we saying to our babies, by rushing them off to pressing combs and relaxers, at such a young age?
Are we perpetuating the weapons of mass destruction put on our people?
What are we saying to our sons, regarding beauty?
Are little Black girls ugly ... the way God made them?
Destee
