If a black guy came into a barbershop and asked for something other then a fade or braid would she tell him he's trying to 'look white' ? Damn. I came to this video because I wanted to learn more about black hair, not get some oppressed black history lesson. Stop living in the past! Doesn't matter what color your skin is or what texture your hair is. Celebrate diversity. Plenty of white people have fades and they aren't doing it to look black, it's just a good cut!

This is a trailer, in order to understand the message of the film, you would have to view the entire movie. My Nappy ROOTS is about celebration and pride, diversity and choices, love and acceptance, culture and beauty and the innovation of great Black people that created the ethnic hair business.

I don't think those "whites" wear the hair styles because they want to be black. I think they wear it that way because of the "HAIR STYLE".

Personally I think black Americans make more of an issure out of their hair than whites. I think black Americans need to stop using these lables....so that our natural hair will be accepted as natural. But we are still perming, adding weaves, saying natural, good hair, nappy....stop these terms let black hair just be hair. Black people are deemeaning them selves with these terms.

Black features are unique and beautiful just like any other race be it white, black, Arab, Asian, Indian. Every race has some physical differences or there would be no separation so how about we accept our differences as a matter of preference and each unique huh?

[madax132]

You simply have to understand evolution, black people have curly hair for better airflow that helps regulate a hot climate, straight hair keeps the head warm. Eye and hair color and related to melanin content and skin pigment, as I said unless there is a random mutation which is exceedingly rare this will not change. Also just for your information the African American's on average is 15% white with 10% of blacks being over 50% white.

[madax132]

If a black person has blue or green eyes they have a genetic mutation or syndrome or they have a white ancestor and even then it is much less than .5 percent. The white race is the only one to have very significant variance in both hair and eye color.

Tanning is a natural occurrence, white people are not one set shade as we lighten and darken in a very visibly significant way during different times.

Black people cannot have straight hair naturally except from mutation, arabs are not black.
