i’m just wondering…
why don’t black men think black women are beautiful anymore? what happened? are we less beautiful? why is it that, when we wear weaves down to our backs or suctioned to the front of our heads, we get the utmost attention? all the “ayyo mamis” come out of the woodwork. However, when the natural puffs are worn, or the locks are let down, we don’t get the same attention? I’ve seen it! With my own two eyes, i’ve seen the disdain black mens faces show when they see a woman with natural hair. Why? What happened? What made us less beautiful to you? We still think you’re just as handsome as ever. Locks down your back or a fresh cut; we love you either way.
but, i guess black men don’t feel the same. They would rather have us lock our hair in solitary confinement or succumb to scorching heat in order to “fit in”. or even worse, melting our hair, skin, and identity with the help of painful burning chemicals…
And it’s hurtful, and a damned hard pill to swallow, but we have to be true to who WE are. we have to love US for US, even if you don’t love us. It’s okay…
white guys love us.
