Well, your comment kinda left it wide open for interpretation. I'm sure you can see that. I just washed my hair about 10 minutes ago and decided to look at it when it was wet b/c I read this thread prior to getting in the shower. I have a relaxer and my hair stayed pretty much straight when wet, aside from a few loose curls towards the end of my hair. So, based on your comment one could say that I'm not a "negro" b/c my hair doesn't get curly or coarse. If you (Dionysus) are Black or African-American then I am sure you know how we all have different types of hair texture, but that in no way defines how much or less black we are than the next. Hair texture in our community is a big issue. Bigger than it should be.
