My absolute favorite comedian, Chris Rock, was on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" touting his new docu-comedy, "Good Hair". The man is a genius! This is a topic that so many women of color hate talking about, but the movie offers a candid look at the price black women pay for good hair.
I implore all of my white friends (I'm looking at you, Jeff) to see this movie since it answers every question you ever wanted to ask about black hair. Never again will you have to ask me:
"Is that your real hair?" Yes, it's just dirty.
"Did you get a haircut?" No, it's just clean.
"What is a perm?" 3 hours of my life I will never get back.
"Can I touch it?" Death glare.
The movie hits theaters in selected cities Oct. 9.

You don't know my white. You don't know my weave.
ReplyDeleteI just asked my co-worker if she has the same trouble with white people asking about her hair, and she just rolled her eyes and muttered yes.
WE WHITE PEEPS JUSS CURIOUS. GAH.
*whispering* C'mon, lemme touch it. Just once. It's not even first base.
