me:

You're way too gracious. Her statements were ignorant as hell.

A couple nights ago, a (very pale) girl said "I was telling my roommate about how you know how just when to use your pretty white girl talk!"
My eternal soul prevents me from saying the words I wanted, so this had to suffice.

Why did this man not more than 30 minutes ago try to compliment me on my GOOD HAIR???? He for real sounded like he was trying to give me a genuine compliment. I went completely and totally silent and then...the lecture. We covered everything from "any healthy hair is good hair" to "devisiveness in the community" all the way up to "perpetuating the stereotype." Almost 3 straight minutes without even taking a breath. There will be no ignorance on my watch! Talkin' 'bout "good hair" in 2009, you musta lost your mind...

Tell me why I had this experience recently with a White woman? Somehow we got on the subject of my students' braids, and she says something like "You don't wear those because you have the good hair." When me and my co-worker looked at her like she had lost her ever-loving mind, she says "That's what they call your kind of hair right? 'Good hair,'" all pleased with herself like she had the inside scoop. I tell ya...
