  1. Exactly…. No matter what we think, they see Black/African/Negroes. Those going on outings where they are the only one set themselves up when they think that assimilation means that they are.
    You aren't, and you never will be!

  2. The reality is that the our people in Africa have been infected with the disease of white supremacy, which creates the disease of self hate. It's highly concentrated in us over here in America. The disease has strength in the Caribbean, in Canada too. The disease of self hate especially has string symptoms among Afro-Latinos, and our people in Europe.
    We are all affected by the sickness of white supremacy.
    Knowledge of self and kind creates love for self and kind. That's part of the solution toward healing and accepting our Black selves.

  3. PSA: More propaganda. Ignore it, focus on the african people that love their hair, not the ones that suffering from self-hate and choose to remain ignorant and brainwashed by colonizers.

  4. Just like her judges in Nigerian courts who still wear that blonde wig our South African lawyers refused to wear at the ICJ court. She's just another white chic wanna be but its sad coz her skin tone won't allow such craziness.
    Our kidz don't need such celebrities in the continent coz they're disgrace to Africa…

    Stupid and sad girl…

  5. The convo between theses ladies is disconcerting, colonisers shaved the heads of their captives to humiliate and break them (then stuffed the cushions of furniture with the discard). Black woman/men are born high maintenance, it takes alot of work time herbs and education to care for Black hair and skin, if not, it is easily damaged. In Nubia and Egypt wigs were made to protect hair until appropriate times allowed for uncovering and celebration of the natural hair (that is why it is called a CROWN). It is saddening when people reject themselves and their culture. Hair/skin chemicals should not exsist in Africa or the Diaspora. So unfortunate. LOVE THY SELF.

  6. The more I see videos of Africa people, I see African Americans we also went through a period of self-hate. We are now starting to come out of it, but I believe there will always be people of color that do not love themselves.

  7. I get what you are saying. Some of our Black people all around the world still want proximity to Whiteness not only as it relates to material trappings but also physical appearance which is saddening. The ironic thing is that many White people are enthralled by Black hair and it's various styles and textures. Obviously, our skin comes in a variety of pigmentation and I love all of them from the darkest to the lightest.😎

  8. There are very few classy Blk women nowadays, and they probably stay off social media. Many of today's Blk women on social media do the most ig-no-ra-nt videos. It is not natural hair v. braids, weave, or wigs. This needs to stop. Natural hair can be here today and gone tomorrow. People, just embrace you as a person. We any hairstyle or fashion. These crazy videos need to end.
