Hmm, can this be connected to the Will Smith slap for joke about wife's hair? "House passes the CROWN Act, a bill banning race-based hair discrimination"
🧐 Research Wanted 🤔

Saw this bill I haven't heard of before. The "slap" was over the joke about his wife's (lack of) hair. Just trying to think maybe it will be used to talk about the need to protect black women's hair. Just a thought.
Nah, I saw this the other week. Not related.
Side note; why do black people obsess over what others think of their hair so much? So bizarre
I wasn’t gonna say anything, but i want to explain it, out of love. So..from my perspective and what I've come to see. Its basically the perceptions that got engrained to black ppl that their hair in its natural state was seen as “no good” “ugly” or “unkempt” by [society] and even those of our own race. So in order to fix it, alot of time, effort and money is put into keeping the hair presentable. This is why the black hair industry is successful with revenue. Hair products, hair extensions, wigs, weaves, tools ect.
In terms of alopecia situation , it sounds like she had been wearing very tight braids to the point she’s literally losing hair. Its a very common problem for women who wear fake hair. They pull their hair so taut, the hair is pulled out of the cuticle and can no longer grow.
Im sorry if im sounding like some kind of glowie. But i just wanted to be truthful.
God Bless
Damn, thank you for that reply. It was something that never really crossed my mind, black people should be able to do whatever they want with their hair. It’s not my business.
