به خانم رئیس جمهور ایالات متحده ی امریکا، میشل اوبامای محبوب (!) باید گفت که اینقدر در صاف کردن موهایش زیاده روی نکند ... استایل مدی افریکن امریکن برای زنان سیاه اینقدر هم شرم آور نیست.

It is all braid and it is not her hair. I have friends, it is not because they do not love bc they are African. They are very proud of who they are but they really like their hair to be straight. As I like my hair to be straight all the time vs curly. That is again true that she is in position of public and has to convey a message. But from experience and few dozen African female friends I have they kill themselves to spend money and pay for braids. Which cost from $100 to more. As Hilary spends tons to highlight or make her hair blonds vs her own hair. I believe if she is older and she choose to color to hid her grey we might say there is nothing wrong to age!!
What is not Hair? African hair? It is hair ... just not the hair the white culture accept as hair
this, the concept of African hair to be denied and be replaced by straight "white race" hair, is not just about personal choice, which is respected, is about a supremacist culture pushing its value down on the other one
it is when a black person, feels the need to look like the other race, dress like the other race, speak like the other race, to be accepted and to be respected
It is about showing the standards for everything down the trouts of people, in the name of beauty
In USA today, the women black movement is fighting to be able to be as they are to be accepted in the society ... and everything is against them
let me give you a few links, its great if you look, and then we talk more:
he Politics of Black Women's Hair http://www.insomniacpress.com/title.php?id=978-1-897178-87-4
Using interviews, memoirs, and personal essays, this book sensitively charts Black women's journeys with their hair: how it is perceived, judged, and graded on the yardstick of mainstream society's standards of beauty. Women from Canada, the United States, Britain, and the Caribbean discuss their lives through the medium of their hair. Unhappy childhood struggles with the comb, adolescent experiments with identity through hair, and adult decisions for or against "natural" hair are all expressed with honesty, some wry humour, and the poignant realization that hair can be another social battlefield.
شاید این میشل هم مثل من دیوانه وار استایل صاف رو دوست داره لیلا جان من ادم رنگ مو و ارایش و از این اداها نیستم . هر 9 ماه یه بار ارایشگاه را می بینم ان هم برای صاف کردن مو شاید اون هم مثل من عاشق تنبلی است و حوصله ندارد هر روز صبح وقتش صرف مویش شود. شایدالبته
فکر می کنم قضیه ی اون مثل تو سلیقه ی شخصی نیست این قضیه ی سفید شدن زنان و مردان سیاه پوست و از میان برداشتن نشانه های فرهنگ گذشنه شان و نشانه های افریقایی بودنشان توسط فرهنگ غالب موضوع خیلی ساده ای نیست
1. That is what I said she is in position of conveying a message and she is different. 2. Further, I said I like my hair to be straight which I did for few years despite being curly. It is easy to manage specially if one is busy but then again she has more resource. But I see your point.
