I would love this to be my next hair style... Ive had micro braids and twists like these (all be it the twists were with my natural hair which was shoulder length). Now that I'm older and working, i wonder if I should he concerned with all this new appropriation of black culture. I dont want to mistakingly be accused as a culture vulture but I can shy away from the fact that I am of mixed heritage, although I know no full blooded white or black people in my family, were all colors and of irish and african american descent (with some great grands who were jewish and native american). I dont want to be seen as trying to be black but according to my upbringing and lineage breathing here in this earth is proof enough I'm black. But you know how it is- u dont want the loole and the trouble from people on the street or in the work place. But I'm def in love with this style and styles like these. I know I shouldn't care what people say or think but I'm just putting it out there. If taylor swift or j.lo showed up with havanas the black community would have their heads.

Like they say Black comes in all shades my selfies and one of my brother ans daughter

Take a look:

Just because something is within the law doesnt make it humane,doesnt make it a law that protects its citizenship. Maybe if it were young white men being gunned down, or your latino sons or even your immigrant male family member whose understanding of english was so so. Maybe under those circumstances so many of you would see the laws as unfit to serve its citizenship. Maybe then your hearts would cry out as you watch these injustices. Maybe race wouldnt matter if this countries foundation wasnt built and bled in racism, bigotry, prejudice. If after 400 years of brainwashing and destroying purposefully, strategically and methodically a whole race of people so they would never have power enough to be united, to grow strong amongst themselves. If you think you know american history think again. To be continued....

Trying to find the validity in my cherokee indian roots before getting this tat, but i think it would look sick as a sternum tattoo

From long hair to short. Learning to not be afraid to come out of my shell every once and awhile and shake things up. Even with something as simple as a hair cut.
