how i wear my hair on my head has got nothing to do with my level of 'blackness' i understand that there are some naomi campbell wannabes who only date white men and slate black men but that is not me.

i wear my hair relaxed but i have had many styles, braiding, cornrows, curly braids, striaght braids and straight weaves.

today i am wearing a short sleeved blouse with linen shorts that come just below my knees. i do not feel like i degrade myself by the way i dress, my friends dress modestly also. i am 24 and i do not have children, none of my friends have children.

i have been to black panther meetings with my weave - no-one there has ever challenged me. i went to a malcom x commemoration not long ago with my weave. malcolm x's own daughter has relaxed hair.

lets stop this generalisation, not every black woman who wears weaves are trying to be white.
