Great post BiggMike. Man I feel like I am on the wrong side of the tracks but I just wanted to come show y'all some love over here.
We as a society have a lot of growing and mending to do. I guess we have it hard b/c we are recovering from years of being told that our skin and hair were too dark, to kinky, too this and too that by our European slavemasters-- and we've held it, carried it, and passed over those same untruths to our children both consciously and subconsciously. Even on the all female hairboards we have these same dilemmas and issues with hair---particularly the relaxed versus natural hair debate. Do the sistah's who relax their hair hate their true blackness? How natural is really natural? Should you press your hair straight or use curl defining products if you have truly accepted yourself and are really satisfied with the natural hair God has given you? Its so amazing that these issues really run so much deeper than hair. Just my lil two cents.

Thank you sistaslick. I needed the young men to hear from a sista. Some of the guys really hurt from this dilemma and it's dividing a once strong people. Some of them are young and don't understand what they are about to be up against as Black/African American MEN is this society. Did you know that a white man with a felony has 60% more of a chance of getting a job than a Black man with a college degree right now in NY, CA, and of course TX (my home)????? This statistic came from BET News and CNN. They think it's a game. Well, if it's a game somebody had better explain the RULES to them before death, prison, or drug addiction happens. And it needs to be a MAN not a woman. A MAN is subject to a different set of rules than a woman, so he is better suited to explain these rules than the mother. I know some women may get upset with this but who cares, I don't. They think they know but don't. Maybe they will feel me now! It's time to wake up, pull the pants up, put the blunts down, and be a real MAN. Seek the truth about your culture even if you are of two different cultures.
Ignorance is bliss, but it hurts you when you don't vote or can't vote, don't have a good job, can't support your seeds/children, using drugs, women putting you down, whites putting you down, all other races putting you down, and you running around thinking you got it going on. Find out the truth and have some pride. Real MEN stand up and be counted!

DITTO!! You know I feel you on this, this just re-emphasizes the importance of a man's role as the head in our homes and in our young peoples lives, a Black King raising young queens and especially young kings teaching them to grow up and rule our society with a better standard of morals and respect. But we have to stop the hatred toward one another and educate ourselves before we can expect people of other races or cultures to understand our struggles. B/C in their eyes it doesn't matter if you are light skin or dark skin, to them you are black... period. We create division ourselves by deciding whats excepted, dark vs light, good hair vs bad hair.
People with so called "good hair" wish they had kinky hair so they can do more with it. My daughter is ten and has even went through this, at one time she was the only black girl in her class so she would ask me why her hair was not straight like the other lil girls and why was she more "tanner" than the other girls. She might have been six or seven at the time, imagine explaining that to a six year old. Even now, she wants a relaxer, I refuse to relax her hair, not saying that i won't when she's a lil older, but I tell her that she has "good strong hair" now, and a relaxer will destroy all that.
When we can accept ourselves the way we are, it's easier to accept others, when they can't accept us it's their demon to deal with.
Can't stand fa people to call me "redbone", I'm not that lite- I call myself "Papersack Brown ". For me it's about preference, so imma take ya back to what we use to say when I was younger, the blacker the berry the sweeter the juice, and ooooh how sweet it is!!!
One thing that surprised me when I deployed to Somalia, some of them were some of the darkest people I had I ever seen, black as tar, but they were BEAUTIFUL!!!, and if you just happen to see a woman with her hair out, it was long and pretty and what we call "good hair", nothing like what they show on those commercials (they have those too but that's not the whole Africa).
