Post pics of the ppl you're talking about? It better not be shuwa arabs either

Lool...I'll rather be an insensitive warrior than be ashamed of my features and say pointing out black features is racist. Cheers mate.

Neither are your kind new either. I'm sure you're all about the 'hotep hotep" and claim Nigerians came from ancient Egypt or israel

1Sharon:
That's your business if your afro is blown out. Why did you feel the need to say that?

Why haven't you answered me? Wouldn't it actually be racist if I said blk women look better in weaves?

Cos girls in weaves are a poor imitation and don't suit us. Black women are fooling nobody.

If its afro textured hair, it suits us better.


THIN lips and STRAIGHT noses are not features of black people.

And you however sound like those black ppl that want to incorporate every dark-skinned non- black person in your group so you can steal their features and claim their history cos you are ashamed of black ppl just as they are. Some of you go as far as claiming arabs and indians.

I know your kind

CeterisXVII:
Okay, all those black British people and their African-American counterparts with British names, are....what? I don't even understand her argument regarding that bit. Should they now change their names, or deny their heritage? Do their English names, make them less Black or less African-American or....what?

As for thin lips and noses, she should visit Eritrea, Ethiopia and North Sudan, as well as Northern Chad. She will see many people with such features. I have even met Kanuris with such features, too.

1Sharon:
The silly girl doesn't even understand sarcasm

1Sharon:
Yes! Chinese ppl look ugly

1Sharon:
And I've already explained that what I said will be racist if I said they look better in weaves. Just admit you want me to say that so you can feel better?

No silly, I said blk ppl look better with naturally. Ofcourse ugly naturals will exist, but they'd look even uglier with weave. Deal with it.

Yes! Chinese ppl look ugly, are you satisfied??

An english name is an appropriation, is that a lie?

Yes I have been to Nigeria, and?

1Sharon:
Crafty in what way?

How is it racist to say black ppl look better in our own hair because of our features??

If I was saying we look better in weave wouldn't that be even more racist? Would you prefer that??

Cos you've seen someone with patchy wisps of hair leaving their house right?

Weaves are not even about our features alone anyway.

Bleaching the knots, gluing the lace. Black women do these things in an attempt to make weaves look natural. But the main thing about making fake hair look natural is the texture. Black women are fooling nobody.

Are chinese full featured like black ppl?

I honesty don't thinking saying big lips big nose don't suit an english name is racist. They're trying to say a person with those features naturally wouldn't have an English name.

1Sharon:
Which black person has STRAIGHT noses and THIN lips?? Do you know what you're saying?

Those aren't our features.

Don't even bring up Somali or fulani.

Spoiled brat haha �

We are not Indians

Khalidase83:
In English pls.

Pacesetter123:
Yap,I know.Some parents flogg unecessarily.Somethings dat required verbal warning, voice correction or even showing practical example to teach n correct a child,dey still want to use Flogging to correct.Dats unecessary n should be discontinued by any parent.

I feel like dashing you 100 likes for this statement. Your response is a real voice of reason.

Apart from that, black natural hair comes in different textures and lengths. Some people's hair is quite coarse and thick. Others have soft baby-fine hair. While a number of other black folk, have silky curls that appear wavy and long.

Ladies of mixed race have different textures hair which is far more silky and longer, than those of most black Africans.

People need to chose what hair styles suit their hair texture and their lifestyles. Period.

It is not easy styling a child's hair every second. Even combing out the links causes pain, if the hair is coarse.

So why not just plait it and let her carry the style for a week? It is easier and less stressful, for both mother and child.

1Sharon:
Honestly no, blk women don't look good in weaves. Hopefully you'll understand this later.

How is that racist?? Do you perceive your features so negatively?? So its racist to say blk ppl have big noses and lips? Isnt that our biology? Are you projecting on me cos you don't like those features?? I guess saying blk ppl have kinky hair is racist too.

Ok, not all black ppl have big noses and lips, but our noses are rounder and flatter and our lips are fuller. Does that sound better to you?

When you say narrow noses and lips? Do you mean narrow like a caucasian? How many blks that aren't mixed have those features??

Why did you quote me, if you don't want me to confirm anything, why you mad sis?

I was "oppressed" but managed to overcome i guess.

but our noses are rounder and flatter and our lips are fuller. Does that sound better to you?

sassysure:
I don't have problem with the choice of words used either.

Pacesetter123:
Flogging to correct her of wrong doings.Not subjecting her to unecessary pains in de name of beauty.Hairstyling can be done without such an unnecessary pain,but anyone dat is too painful to de child should be discontinued.Wen she grows,she can decide weda to pass tro de pain to achieve de desired beauty or not.But it shouldn't be de parents dat decide de type or level of pains de child should go tro just because de meant "good" for her in de context we r discussing here

AkhereOkaka:
Tell him dear, often times people uses words without knowing what it means

Isoduwa:
So when you crying for prick your people won't hear anything from the bedroom to the bathroom �

For what nah? Who is pursuing them from their original home?

babythug:
I have my brother in law here and most times I feel like slapping him. His latest misdemeanour is literally taking over my son’s slippers this is a 35year old( or thereabouts) man and my son is 9 years old

Pacesetter123:
But it's not de parents dat is passing tro de pains.It is de child.So how can dey now decide wot pain a child should or should not go through?

1Sharon:
They are ignorant. We look better in our real hair.
The world needs to see out beauty. Blk women don't realise that we give other races power when try to look like them.

If I was saying blk women look better in their weaves, I'm sure you'd find that less offensive.

1Sharon:
Yes but most don't wear hair extensions that look like our hair..what you have on, shows what you like.

It doesn't need to be pink and 40 inches..

1Sharon:
Good, and the texture?

1Sharon:
What do you mean extreme examples? Doesn't the average black women wear hair that looks nothing like the hair underneath? Is that extreme or is that commonplace?

A generalisation doesn't mean all, it's just too many.

1Sharon:
I really don't want to go into this. But...

The average white woman doesn't wear fake hair, but the average black woman does.

If I leave my house right now, I'm guaranteed to bump into black women with wigs but I know the white woman will all be natural.

Secondly, its natural for whites to have blonde hair but not for black ppl. That's their problem.

How many blk women wear yaki? Not enough sis.

1Sharon:
Tell me about it sis

Brazilian hair, big nose, big lips..not a good fit. No wonder black women are seen as the ugliest race in the west and they don't get it.

Big lips, big nose go with big hair, black women don't realise we look best in our real hair

Our beauty is unique

1Sharon:
So putting extensions in a little girls hair is not self hate? their hair is still tender and growing, they don't need extensions to pull out the little bit of hair they have.

DMerciful:
Seems we also have Surrey in UK. I'm actually in the one in British Columbia, Canada

sassysure:
What do these children know about self esteem.
We impose these things on them and it became the norm.

I didn't do my hair as a kid and that didn't stop me from playing and running around.
It's the new modern Nigerian woman standard.

Instead of not plaiting their girls hairs, they rather not plait theirs.

Has nothing to do with the child but her mother.

Allow a child to be a child. She will grow and do all he hair styles in this world. But the Nigerian materialistic factor and show off won't allow us.

sassysure:
That pain is avoidable o.
Cut the damn thing

Bahddo:
this is how Nigerians (across generations) have been conditioned to accept and even idolize suffering.

I don't know who did this to you but you don't need to pass through avoidable pain/stress before you can enjoy life.

Sterope:
The pain of waking up for school or work every morning is necessary. Plaiting of hair? NO!

The child can decide what to do with the hair when she grows up including choosing a painless way of dealing with her hair
