Skin Deep - Black Hair, Still Tangled in Politics - NYTimes.com: "Getting “good hair” often means transforming one’s tightly coiled roots; but it is also more freighted, for many African-American women and some men, than simply a choice about grooming. Straightening hair has been perceived as a way to be more acceptable to certain relatives, as well as to the white establishment."
Really... A slow really slow news day for NY Times. Hair, Black people, and relaxers really how news worthy is this? Who cares? Would it matter if she had short hair or long hair?
If this was a segway into a conversation about Chris Rock's new movie why didn't you start with that? Oh yeah, it grabs more headlines when you mention Michelle Obama's name. This is sad!
