"I don't like nappy hair" - Charles Barkley

[pimpineasy]

Funny thing is that's an opinion held by the majority of black people. For some reason people on the coli think it isn't
That goes for most of the stuff people call others c00ns for also.

Thank goodness i grew up in Jamaica where black hair is seen as a source of pride of our ancestral roots.........sure a lot of people dont but most respects black natural hair...............................also travelling its weird to me that most euro white chicks loooooooooooove black natural hair more than blacks themselves .......remenants of slavery................remember the backlash gabby got in the olympics over her hair

And if what do you consier "good" hair?

Hmmm

Why shoot I guess it's whatever the media tells me is good hair I just know mines isn't cause it's different

 

[Ronnie Lott]

If you aint been clowned or gigged on by your brothers/sisters mother/father friends for steppin out with some nappy ass or peasy ass fukkin hair in your time on earth then...
Eh...

Never have. My family doesn't produce self hating c00ns

And my family never teased other black people about their skin complexion either

 

[Easy-E]

He say anything about birdman hair

This

But, Charles is from the South; where, at one time, making white ppl comfortable meant live or death, so...

to the bolded. Have you read this thread?

Relax it with grease? You know he was trynna be funny breh. Why do y'all keep asking how awhite person would be judged? You talk all that super pro black shyt then compare the situation to a white person.

Given his history, I'm not giving him the benefit of the doubt.

Charles should have kept the comments to himself and not on national tv. But there is nothing wrong with blacks saying nappy hair. Shoot me and my brother would tease each other saying chief knotty head. It's nothing cute about hair thats uncombed and unkept. Comb your hair, put some grease in it. Shoot all those products thats out like Shea moisture. there's no excuse for rose hair to look like that.

natural and naps are 2 different things

I'm all for natural hair but I kinda agree with him. Nothing wrong with Rose's hair but he could comb or pick it. He looks like he just rolled out of bed and came to the game. Or if you're gonna have the nappy doo at least keep an edge up.

Picking it out defeats the purpose of what Rose is going for in the first place.

speaking on someone not combing their hair doesnt mean he doesnt like black hair.

Just means he thinks the cats should pick/brush/comb their shyt.

Plus...why yall care about what white folks think so much?
Barkely is just someone that talks freely....he's not worried about what folks are thinking.
