Right on, Laila! I went natural the spring of my junior year in high school and rediscovered my roots in the process. That personal revolution still stands as the best thing I’ve ever done for myself. Though what I now believe (that natural black hair should be accepted as the norm) was not the reason I went natural, I later realized all the damage society has subconsciously done to me. All the while I was thinking as a black female that that was what you did: you permed your hair every so often, just like you brushed your teeth. I had no clue what I was really doing to myself or who I was really trying to emulate. Anyhow, anyone who does not accept me in my most natural state is not to be bothered with because I refuse to hate myself for no good reason.

I assume that it was mainly racism, though obviously sexism played its part. Blacks are considered to be the lowest of low, all over the world.
