This is a stereotype created in the United States around the Jim Crow era. I have listed a link that should tell you a little more about it. This is a misconception and a falsehood. See www.ferris.edu/news/jimcrow/picaninny/

Sista I can see your question. However I believe that how a woman wears her hair is about choice. Isn't that a wonderful thing, to have the chance to wear your hair 15 different ways if you like? I don't feel there is anything wrong with a black woman wearing a perm, weave, pony tails, texturizers, locs or twists. Isn't that one of the things that is special about black women. It all comes down to choice. I know sistas who have been sporting perms for years, and they are the most conscious women around. I know sistas who wear natural styles and they are no credit to the race. And just in case you're wondering, I'm a sista who has been 'natural' 10 years and counting. Before we judge by hair, let us actually test and see what's on the brain.
