All they can say is that they love your hair, but do they really? They rather straighten their hair and go euro rather than afro. All that fixation on your hair must be an expression of shock that a black woman is still thinking Afrocentric. They say u need to go interracial. O hell.

Heyyy, Andreas. I think Thunderheist should be one of your beauties of the moment.

Natural hair is not Afrocentric.

Natural hair is just that, natural that some of us simply want to wear.

As a matter of fact many non-black men LOVE natural more so than so-called black men.

So in essence, we are free when first we love our own natural beauty and also this is when others admire our beauty also.

NOTHING to do with Afrocentricity.

At the same time, many black men wear locs and get white women.

So-uh...afrocentric?

I totally agree with you Moorena.

I remember this black woman told me, that a black man with dread locs stopped her on the street, and tried talking to her about loving her blackness, but then he turned around and walked towards a white woman. It turns out she was his girlfriend.
The black woman then told me, why does it seem, like the black men in dreads, who loves to lecture black women about loving your blackness, are always the ones in interracial relationships.

I am for every one finding love no matter the race, but one thing I don't like, is a hypocrite.

cheers

Look at the hate mongers trying to downplay your afrocentric expression. Even referring to black men as "so-called black men". As if we're anything other than black. Black is beautiful, but they can't stand it.

Finally being appreciated as beauties? By whom? So if you didn't discover this single blog, you wouldn't have known that black women were and continue to be appreciated as beauties? O yea? All those black women in romance novels, movies, in music videos, and sung about in music, and written about in poetry, are not seen and being appreciated as beauties? Black is beautiful. Love it.
