We don't think that we're better than anyone else. What makes you think that? If you're assuming that we think that we're better because we tell black people to love their hair then you are wrong. The whole point of telling other black people to love our hair is because so many people have something negative to say about it. It has nothing to do with thinking that we're better. But, I know that you'll never understand what the message behind this documentary is even if I explain a million times.

Your ignorance is AMAZING!! Most black women are BEAUTIFUL.. It's all in the eye of the beholder. I see so many beautiful black women every day. I'm one of them. I have natural nappy, strong, shiny, BEAUTIFUL, non permed hair.

CORRECTION not all full black people have "nappy" hair and the grade of your hair is not determined by your skin color so it doesnt matter if your light dark ect i hate when people assume since your light skin you have better hair or even if your mixed i noe a lot of biraicial ppl that dont have "nice" hair and that wear extensions and extensions can be used for various reasons not only for length some of you are ignorant when it comes to this topic

WTF?You proly dont even have any black friends or associates.If I or anyone in my family thought we were better than anyone we would not not surround ourselves with ALL people.We have been made to feel that we r not beautiful because we are not white for centuries! Learning to love ourselves does not mean we think we are better than ANYONE. Statistics show we(blk ppl) marry out side our race more than any other culture! We already knew that we are all the same! My husband is Native American btw.

And fine hair with Africans is also beautiful.

Having nappy hair, if you dont like it there's nothing wrong with that.

NOT everyone likes it.

and NOT every person that is born with wavy hair likes there wavy hair, or straight hair.

Basically, i'm annoyed by African Americans who think theyre better than everyone else.

WERE ALL THE SAME! :D ahah.

Were all mixed.

I'm french, english, welsh, german, and greek.

lol
