Well, I get offended!
Yes, I use to get offended, but unfortunately I've gotten used to it. Long thick hair runs in my family, even the men. But to imply that every black woman, especially dark ones who has long hair is wearing a weave is an insult. I live in a regular neighborhood, grew up in just a regular neighborhood, and it was nothing to see long hair. Not to your azz long, but to your shoulder.
People assume all black women are sexual freaks, is this assumption right, just because you are black? People assume all black women are on aid, baby making machines, now do you want someone coming up to you saying how many babies do you have, are you on aid, most of us here are college educated.
Generalizations just bother me.
But PLEASE DON'T FORGET, BLACK WOMEN ARE NOT THE ONLY ONES WEARING WEAVE! Do you actually think every white woman with hair to her behind, is all hers? White women were wearing weave before us, so this is also an issue with me.
But point blank it's just tacky and rude to ask people personal questions, and asking if you wear weave is just tacky.
