Lol @ 'i hope none of you win anything'

CAMEROONPRIDE: u are not making sense unfortunately..the African places/spots are already reserved whether u go bald or with natural hair there is no way they will reject our candidates, so stop putting the white people for your own insecurity, stop blaming African men for your self hate ...there are preliminaries in each countries this is where lie the problem....girls with fake hair shouldn't b accepted .period
anyway I hope none of u win an[b][/b]ything.

ThaProphet: Well, you are right. It is about standardized beauty which is unfortunately European. That is the problem exactly right there. You get Africans trying to fit into that standard which obviously does not suit them and automatically sets them back before the competition starts. Like you said, the pageants are beyond hair and beauty. It is also about self confidence and esteem which is lost once you put a weave on your head. Let's wait for an Afrikan winner with a weave on and then continue the conversation.

can u give the crown to a fake one or a wannabe? grin grin grin grin
me I can't oooo . since they admitted that the Caucasian look is the best , why they still try to compete against their master? eh eh ....they should also make surgeries on their flat noses, thick lips etc .

True talk. You made a good point earlier on about the problem being at the national level. That is so on point.

Lets not resort to insults here. I don't think he was referring to 'top ten'. The spots he was talking about are reserved spaces for African contestants in the competition.

Lol @ superior, beauty pageant is beyond hair. Nobody cares for that. Only black men are fixated on hair, rotflmao. In fact everyone on that stage would have an extension attached to her hair either white or black. The finishing product is all that matters.

@BOLD
Please translate it for me or explain.. sounds like u are blaming African men

It is not exactly about being fake dude. Check it! If a European uses fake hair, she uses hair that reflects her true self, a European extension. Same texture and everything. Probably she is short on length or something. She doesn't go and buy herself an afro wig or weave. That is the point being made here. Our ladies go the extreme length to purchase hair that does npt reflect their image at all. I guess it boils down to them trying to fit in to the European standard of beauty but it still does not help.

so u can't make the difference?
again I ask : what's the difference between bleaching and wearing fake/corpses hair?

u guys are only perpetuating the stereotypes that portray African girls as ugly, instead of taking/using this pageant to showcase your beauty , to be proud of yourself . with weaves on they call u ugly and u don't make it to the top 10(according to u) so why do u keep wearing it then? too much insecurity. b yourself
Re: Africans At Miss World 2013 (Coverage) by ThaProphet(m): 1:12am On Sep 07, 2013
Lol...I get you. I guess this European hair issue has eaten too deep into our fabrics that we fail to see the mental and physical damage it causes. I think we have hijacked this thread. It is time to give it back.

Oh, it's no more about being fake, it's now about buying a fake afro to fit your image grin. Still 100% fake. And I find it absurd that we are quick to say afro. I've looked through old pics of my ethnic group, I see no freaking afro on their heads but certain elaborate styles. Afro is NOT the be all and end all of african hair. So if you are really promoting how I should look, then I need to do stuff like this...



Black girls are the most versatile with their hairstlyes. African hair is very flexible. It is the most malleable hair on earth. I can make it straight and I can make it afro.
Just this year alone I've braided my hair, worn a weave, don an afro wig, let my natural hair out, but it's the weave that gets a 'honorable' mention by people who have nothing better to do than to be crying about hair.

Seems this guy is reading my words upside down.
African contestants have been contesting well before the craze for weaves, and STILL they did NOT make it!!!!
This issue is beyond hairrrrrrr. It is the fact that you are blackkkkkkkkkkkk!!!!!!!!!!
Re: Africans At Miss World 2013 (Coverage) by ThaProphet(m): 1:39am On Sep 07, 2013
I mention afro once (in an example that wasn't even about Afrikans) and you had to completely take it out of context and put words in my mouth? No one said afro is the only Afrikan style (putting words in people's mouth much). Oh...you don't really need to tell me about how awesome Afrikan hair is, thank you. The point I was making about fake hair is completely independent of Afrikan hair, you brought up everyone including Europeans as using fake hair too and I responded to that. Fake hair is fake hair regardless of the type. You cannot however deny the fact that Afrikan hair texture is seen as 'ugly', 'unprofessional' blah blah by Afrikans themselves when it infact suits them better than 'flowy' 'silky' European hair. That is the narrative being challenged here. The issue is bigger than pageants.

I think its time to give it a rest. Lets give the thread back.
