First, somebody needs to let this bimbo know that FR is not a "blog"

Second, I don't recall people complaining about her hair, IIRC they were complaining about her inappropriate dress.

“”If your hair is relaxed, white people are relaxed,” the comedian Paul Mooney, sporting an Afro, says in the documentary “Good Hair,” which won a jury prize at the Sundance film festival and comes out in October. “If your hair is nappy, they’re not happy.””

These fools are still so fixaed on this petty stuff that it is no wonder they are failing in the important stuff, like staying out of trouble, getting skills to get a good job, and other things that people need in order to make a living.

Straightening hair has been perceived as a way to be more acceptable to certain relatives, as well as to the white establishment.

I don't think that Al Sharpton has ever done anything to be "acceptable" to the "white establishment".

Al got his hairstyling tips from James Brown, AKA Soul Brother Number One.

Commenters on the conservative blog Free Republic attacked her as unfit to represent America for stepping out unstraightened.

Huh? I don't recall any comments about her hair. The big hullabaloo was about her 'chicken foot' t-shirt and its symbolism. (over-reaction imho)

I’d bet a year’s pay that no one on FR said that about her hair.

"If your hair is nappy, they're not happy."

Is this word "okay" or not? I recall a certain liberal talk radio host being taken to task for using it.

I see Free Republic referred to as a blog all the time and it has puzzled me!

They complained about her hair, about her shirts [which was merited], about her shorts and about the ‘guy’ who was beside her.

Go on the Michelle or fashion threads and you will see nasty remarks about almost anything!

LOL! So what about Mobama? I guess she's apparently trying to hide "her roots" by wearing straightened hair!

Dreadlocks are not ‘twists’.

I did see some people complaining about the hair. It seemed like just a few comments, maybe 3 or 4?

How many white women go blonde because it's perceived as prettier? How many women get lasix because "men don't make passes at girls wearing glasses"? How many breast lifts, augmentations, liposuction, etc.?

All women deal with this in one way or another.

Black men prefer their black women to have straight hair, this bimbo "journalist" neglected to mention.

IIRC, she was dressed like a little communist radical, and we didn’t appreciate it.

Talk about shallow. CATHERINE SAINT LOUIS’s whole resume is articles on physical appearance.

In the first place, no white person forces a black person to straighten their hair.

They do it by choice. Most of my black friends aren’t worried about straightening their hair.

They are happy with who they are, as they should be.

Oh, please. White women with perfectly straight hair get curly perms. What does that mean? They hate being white?

It all depends on what makes a woman feel that she’s looking good, and the politicization of hairstyles has got to be one of the silliest things I’ve heard.

Smooth silky black hair is the realm and domain of the Asian woman - the rest of you must forsake it forever!!! Unless you marry a pretty Asian woman then you can spend years and years running your fingers through her black, silky hair!!! Some people have all the luck!

If he's going to make the claim, he needs to provide the link; otherwise the whole argument is invalid.

White Americans have no interest in what Africans do to their hair.

“What’s wrong with black women with big Afros? Riding zebras?”

(If you’ve ever seen “Eddie Murphy Raw”, you know why that’s funny.)
