Well I understand being offended by "oh you're pretty to be dark skinned" and the running the fingers through the hair which are unacceptable. But I guess I just can't understand that if it IS your hair, then why not be proud and say "yes this is my hair"? Especially since you come from a family that is blessed to have beautiful hair.

yes I know white women use fake hair now, but that didn't start just now, Bo Derek started that a long time ago with her cornroll self. So do latino women now it seems.

I've heard all those other comments(baby making machines, etc) about other races just as well, but I am trying to stay on topic!
Wasn't trying to get off topic, just using examples of how generalizations are often wrong !
If your question about being proud was being asked of me, then my answer is I'm neither proud nor ashamed of my hair. Hair has never been a priority in my life. I'm proud of being one of the first in my family to go to college and graduate, I'm proud to have waited to have children, instead of being a teenage mother, I'm proud to be a Zeta, I'm proud of a great many things, but hair is just not one of them(trying to stay on topic). I never looked at my hair as a BLESSING. IMHO, I just think it's an inappropiate question, but I realize that some people just don't see it that way.
