There are a multitude of reasons why there are not that many female African-American homemakers. Some of it is feminism, but it is mostly economic. Most black males balk at the suggestion – they simply can’t afford it or don’t want to. And, you have black women who absolutely refuse to stay at home while the man brings home the money (hopefully). In this country there is a strain between the sexes – black women here have always made more money than black men, so there is tension. There is a question of steady employment of black males, morals and more – the list can go on forever.

That is an excellent question. I’m a black woman who has long hair (collarbone length). A lot of black women like to keep their hair short for managability reasons; another reason is that we have a tendency to use a mixture of chemical relaxers (hair straighteners) and apply a lot of heat to our hair. That may cause damage and breakage, which will force the purchase of a wig or weave job. In conclusion, yes, black women can grow long hair – I have been doing so for 30 years.
