Can't we all just get along

There has been some unnecessary attitude between natural hair sisters, and those that choose not to embrace the look or lifestyle. This is unnecessary. We have been held hostage to the standard of how we should look, act and speak for so long, and we have finally "broke ground" on a old phase in our culture that has allowed us to choose our style and dress weather it be kinky, locks, or chemically straight. We endured the stares and judgement of other races as it pertains to our hair for more than 50 years, and now we as black girls do it to ourselves. Its a shame. If you like your hair kinky, and locked by all means do that, you are beautiful. To those that prefer the straight look, then that's okay too, your cute and that suits you and your lifestyle. To my natural sisters if your looking for recruits then my advice is to take care of your look and your lifestyle, and those young girls growing up will see how your natural beauty shines and they will want to do that. Our hair is no longer in bondage. To argue with ladies that choose perm over natural doesn't convince anyone to change, it only annoys them and frustrates you. No one should be forced into how they should look and what style they should have, if your loving you and rocking that hair in your best possible way your point will speak for it self. I love my natural hair, but I love even more the "Freedom of Choice".
