Too often Black men contribute to hateful rhetoric against Black women. By voicing opinions many deem to be harmless, Black men set the tone for more attacks against Black women; as if over decades Black women have not suffered enough.
Always armed with the right words for any debate defending women, I took a stand once again to defend our beautiful culture of Black women:
Guy: "Don't assume weave makes you all look cute, because it doesn't."
Mz DeeVa: "To hate weave is to hate self.
Why?
(Why is there so much hatred in tone?)
Weave has not hurt you, so the hate speech has to come from within."
Other guy: How do you know weave hasn't hurt a particular individual?
Mz DeeVa: "Self-hatred is always evident in the tone of malice on a subject."
1st Guy:
"Lil girls cant enjoy they natural looks cause they see you old heads not embracing it...an our lil ladies also thinks weave makes them cute to...while DESTROYING they own hair!! Blk women dont THINK about the lil girls who WATCH they every move...yall just go through life reckless an then complain about these lil girls an how they act...but they learning the mess from yall ass!!"
2nd guy: "... I never said weave hurt me. I hate it because it sends the wrong message not only to other races but to our own Young Queens. Be proud of your heritage because it is unrivaled. We are different for a reason.. Our history wasnt hidden because we are inferior... As for as self hate, thats not even up for discussion...."
Mz DeeVa: "Two men, who are unaware of the multiple reasons women love to wear weave, are deciding that weave wearing women do not embrace their culture?
Not on one day, am I less Black due to my love of weave!
Weave intimidates men who are shallow. Shallow men want to see you from the outside, displayed with one look, to feed their need to control you.
Freedom lies within the choice to wear weave.
And contrary to dense male belief, weave is NOT only worn by Black women!
Hair is like a woman's p--sy and womb, whatever choice she makes for it, is for her to say, not any of the male species.
If a woman is not wearing weave, that is a choice that she has made.
If a woman wears weave, that is a choice that she makes.
If a woman says NO to sex, that is her right, and a choice that she makes!!
Are we clear?
Is Narcissism 101 class ready to dismiss now?"
