On Monday, CNN’s “New Day” ran a five-minute segment touting how U.S. Supreme Court justice nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson was inspiring “a generation of women” with her hairstyle.
Network correspondent Adrienne Broaddus opened her report by saying, “Judge Jackson isn’t only changing the image of justice but the image of beauty.”
Broaddus’ report then highlighted Jackson’s confirmation hearings which a hairstylist and her customer in Chicago described to CNN as “empowering” and “inspiring.”
“If confirmed, Jackson becomes the first black woman serving as a justice,” Broaddus said in a voice-over.
A Chicago mother told CNN, “It’s almost like one of those power to the people moments for all the black women denied opportunities.”
“She stands for the essence and the embodiment of blackness,” the mother added. “What she symbolizes is the pride in embracing who you are.”
A black female Chicago attorney decried that she had not been able to be her “authentic self in the workplace” with her hairstyle.
CNN’s Broaddus stated in her voice-over, “Hair is essential to black culture and often misunderstood.”
Following the segment, Broaddus concluded, “Acceptance is the overarching theme here. You know, historically, black hair or natural hair has been viewed as unattractive. It’s always been the straighter, the prettier. And for little brown girls and black girls and even women my age, hair is loaded with so many messages. It has the power to dictate how others treat you and how you feel about yourself.”

“Judge Jackson isn’t only changing the image of justice but the image of beauty.”
Those braids are expensive to get, and time-consuming and painful to have applied. I don’t know how empowering it is.
It’s sounds like somebody been hitting da happy smoke.
ROTFL. Yeah. Okay.
“She stands for the essence and the embodiment of blackness,” the mother added. “What she symbolizes is the pride in embracing who you are.”
Nothing symbolizes black pride like a white husband...
Everything goes out of fashion...even this. And the bigger it becomes, the harder it will fall.
Another Susan Rice and Kamala Harris huh?
Not sure what message this doo is trying to convey, but obviously she likes it so that's all that matters.
Racist chic.
Not the Teddy Boy look. That's forever.
inspired by a floor mop?!
Just what the blacks need to do to overcome discrimination against them: jack up those hairstyles.
And more than likely a Chinese girl than her own.
How long does it take in the hair salon do get one of these things done?
Yeah, and fashion mags had moooochelle obammy on the cover!
Yup; this whole episode is related to why many black men don’t have the same outlook as the women. White liberals have focused on black women instead of both (since Otoken was president).
Horse hair and glue, followed by a bad smell.
