Ku Klux Klan Planning March in Jena, LA

I love it the way I love it. It has nothing to do with Don Imus and everything to do with how and why I embrace the word, and clearly NappyBison, too.

Like the old t-shirts say: I'm happy to be nappy. It has never been a pejorative in my family or in my community.

Wow that article is ashame.

Wow..and I am very ignorant about the term "nappy". I have used this term to describe my thick, curly natural hair which I love! I never even considered that the word "nappy" could register a negative feeling when used in that way. Hmmm

Yep.

Minority groups take back words all the time and reassign definitions.
