When I left MN....everybody was freakin' a natural look...GREEKs were on the forefront of that...AKAs and Deltas were famous for locks, twists, fros, and braids...
It just seems that in the GREAT ATL. You will only find conscious (afrocentric) women and men sporting these styles (although cornrows are making a "come up")
Many women (and men too) are relaxing are texturizing their hair b/c they think thats the best way to look...AND Brothers here only want to date Long-haired sisters (no matter their personality)
one of my friends who is an AKA (who sports a short natural cut) was told that her hair was too short (to be an AKA) by some people who weren't even in a sorority!
I'm hoping the south as a whole will move from this pathetic view about "nappy" hair...
I'm happy to be nappy!!!
I am,

I didn't know Atlanta was like how you described. I always thought Louisiana was the only state that had such issues.
I know the light skin/dark skin debate is still an issue around here. I know I'm going off topic slightly,but I would like to share a personal experience. I hope nobody minds this slight shift in topic.
I attend LSU and this summer I was in summer school. After class one day, a classmate and I were walking across the quad. It was unbelievably hot that day and we were walking in the sun. So my classmate says that we should have walked in the shade. I was like it didn't matter to me because I was already at my destination. So she goes "Well, I don't need any more color. Maybe you do,but I don't"
Talk about somebody blown completely away. I have never had a issue with my skin tone. I am neither light skin or dark skin. I fall right in the middle. This particular person happen to be dark-skin. How do you respond to a comment like that?
