I agree wholeheartedly, especially with "The comment usually begins.."that bitch thinks shes......" What i don't get is why every female doesnt "think she is_________" "

EXACTLY!!!!

Damn that's even better than my standard response of "No bitch, you think I'm ____"

I agree with you completely. I've always been a complimentary female. I enjoy seeing people look nice, so if a chick has on some pretty shoes or her hairdo is nice, I've got compliments coming(even if the hair is store bought). My bff say im too damn friendly but i live by the premise that a few nice words could save someone's life.

I completely understand where Mo's love for her hair comes from...its long, manageable, and pretty. Why not take pride it what you feel is an outstanding quality? I will never know straight, manageable hair--shit, perms don't even work but unlike %95 of these insecure females...that doesn't cause me to feel certain type of way about someone who does. I have been reading these comment and the shit is ridiculous.....

...I'm a thick chick and i have experience hate for no reason for the majority of my life for reasons beyond my understand. The comment usually begins.."that bitch thinks shes......" What i don't get is why every female doesnt "think she is_________" (you can fill in the blanket.) My grandma told me that a woman should always exude confidence even at her lowest moment. To hate on the next chick only shows chinks in your armor.

In the West Indies (Jamaica) they call it coolie hair. And yes, coolie hair is INDIAN HAIR. That's just what it is. Not sure what a better description would be because you can be part indian and not have indian hair. Like you can be mixed race (black and white) but still have dark skin and afro type hair, or you can be light skin and have caucasian type hair.

Ryan J simply isn't an expert on hair.

my hair and confidence have definitely deterred black women[and some men] from befriending me. when i found this new "thick" shape combined with my hair niggas thought i was stuck up/would play them. and black bitches SWORE i was checkin for their man! smdh whatta mess! it took me a while to get where i am and i'm dayum proud! and my body is RIGHT for once, my hair is fun, and muthafugg a HATA!

i am easy with the compliments, because i love me. if u rockin that bag i can't get or ur shoes got me haute in the toes i'ma SAY DAT! word! i love to let somebody know they're ON and when i get a compliment, sometimes its the highlight of my day especially when times are so tough. it disgusts me how sistas can never just SHINE on anotha sister instead they'd rather shit on her. GROSS! no other race i kick it with is like that towards me!

Woooww.... Xilla I been on your site and have enjoyed it... But this shit right here make me not wish to explore anymore of Miss Honay's rants about the "hate" that she has received..
I really hate to get into what I really feel because obviously her mind is not open to what those are saying.... Long hair, who cares??? Really was it that serious for her to post this? Shorty girl, it's obvious that those that hate on you are a problem but I'm assuming you've had this INDIAN hair all your life, so you should be quite used to it and not feel the need to post ridiculus blogs on the internet. Deep down inside you're a chocolate girl that has some issues... and hair is not it...

Its a problem because you couldnt say you have nice hair, long hair, two-toned hair. You picked a distription that makes you something other than Black. What do you say when you talk about your eyes,-chinky, asian. What about your lips,- black, nigga, dsl. Start the paragraph with a background of your heritage. Most of us have something mixed up in us but to be excepted we add some other culture. Im not saying dont be proud of your other ethnic traits but most people go with what you look like. You look like you go too the Korean store for hair products like the rest of the women. Dont take offense, it just hurts when a person doesnt think being Black is not enough.

Number one, many people get "Indian" confused with "Native American". And I bet you a lot of those people don't realize that your ancestry is truly part "INDIAN". Black people need to get PAST this self-hatred of ourselves. WE come in different shades, different hair textures, different body shapes, we are a diverse group of people! That is the beauty of us, is the lack of homogeneity. I am extremely dark-skinned and many people assume I am from Africa including many Africans I have encountered. Or most people assume I MUST be mixed with something because although I am dark-skinned, my features are not stereotypical. I have a thin nose and thin lips. My hair is jet-black and curly-soft not curly-coarse (if that makes any sense). I know I look different, I always have but I embrace my African part of myself because its part of who I am. Yes, my father's grandmother who raised him was Tsa-la-gi but I'm not going to go around talking about how my great-great whatchamacallit is Native American. Whatever. And all these women on here sounding like ignorant buffoons need to grow up. I am not pretty to be dark-skinned. I'm just damn pretty and being dark-skinned brings it out more.

I don't understand why people are so upset about her using the word "Indian" when describing her hair. It is no different from when other people use the word "good" hair, except her description is ethnically correct.
While attending one of the last meetings in Philadelphia for the Native American Cultural Society before they lost funding and had to shut down, they told everyone in attendance this:- Skin color has nothing to do with your ethnicity.
I have more things in my blood stream than what people would consider a mutt for dogs, but the majority of my blood line comes from Cheyenne and Cherokee..people get mad that I don't solely claim being black when the closest relative I had that was the "blackest" was my great great grandma and she had blue eyes.(yes I saw it in person).
We all need to accept that none of us has ever met any "pure" blacks in our lifetime....unless you meet someone from African and they consider themselves "Africans" and not "black".
I guess after years of fighting for equality, black people still allow the "one drop rule" to dictate how they think...(not all, just the ones that have a problem with people acknowledging their roots).

It's just so crazy (kind of refreshing, sorry) for me to hear that i was not the only that had problems/insecurities growing up...now i have regular black people hair my parents are black and i'm pure chocolate but i can't lie and say i wasn't a bit insecure for a while because it did seem like the dudes would for the light skin chick or the chicks that were exotic with the "indian" hair but to hear/read that everyone had their own issues makes me feel kinda not so alone about it anymore...i think some people let those insecurities though permeate and manifest into their adult lives and then become overly touchy/sensitve when hearing about other women that have a feature that was seen as "superior" in comparison to their "inferior" feature (i.e. hair, skin tone, speech patterns, etc.)

HeadMistress: I cannot argue with you. I have never heard sisters telling sisters derogative stuff like this. My bad, I'm sorry about not believing this.
Its really shocking to me that sisters talk and think this way. Its cold blooded put down, I can tell you that.
I have heard the knegrow man say it so much. It appears that most could careless almost if the woman had a heart inside, all he seem to care for is the outer layer of derma.

Also, I just bought 10 boxes with 4 disposable douche bottles in it and 15 bottles of powdered chemical douche. I bought 20 bottles of non alcohol deodorant. I don't get infections and one thing for sure I ain't stanking. Need to stop bringing that up cause all you doing making laugh...I ain't mad at you, girlfriend.

Wow this post really blew up. It just goes to show that we black women are so sensitive about our appearance and how the world see us. Alot of this, I think, stems from slavery, our black men, and society. I tell you, I have been going natural for the past year, and people's opninon of me has competely changed. It's so weird that our natural hair texture is not view as beautiful to "us". My co-worker told me the other day that I need to start relaxing my hair again because I could pass as mixed. And that since I was damn near white, "the white folks" would treat me differently. And it broke my heart. I hate that some darker complected women have to feel that way. But guess what: it's their own race that makes them feel that way. We need to teach our children to stop reducing people to "how dark they are"! Actually, I tend the think people of a darker complexion tend to have some of the prettiest, smoothest skin I've ever seen. And black men need to stop making us sisters feel inadequate because of our hair texture, and coloring.
Black women, stop feeding into the stereotypes! Stop the self hate. We don't need to be calling each other "kneegrow" and "colored"! It's appalling! We're never going to conquer anything by dividing each other.

My thing was, if it was a matter of her emphasizing her heritage, why not refer to herself as having part-Indian ancestry? Maybe it would have come across a lot differently. Singling out her "Indian hair" made her sound like a "1986-I-got-cherokee-in-my-family-check-out-my-baby-hair" false claimer and that's why I posted the comment about not being able to get past her Indian hair comment. It just sounded real ignorant and, for the lack of a better word, coonish to me. Then she acted oblivious to the fact that African-Americans have been false claiming all sorts of ethnicities for so many years to downplay their black attributes (My grandma's sister baby daddy cousin is white, dats why I got dis white people hair) - THAT'S why so many people felt the need to call her out on it.

To give you a real answer to your question, quite simply, it’s the standard of beauty that has been set by society. Every variation of “appearance” created by God is beautiful. But naturally not everyone can be everything, so when society puts one look, feature, skin tone, size, shape, hair texture, hair color above another the people who possess those “desired” traits naturally, sometimes innocently and I’ll even venture to say “unknowingly” begin to feel superior.

But when previously unrecognized beauty traits are noticed and confirmed as beautiful also, the ones who once held the traits that “defined” beauty now feel threatened, they feel the need to compete. Competition is natural and even healthy but we’ve been forced to compete against each other with things that we have no real control over. If you’re competing in a race you train harder so you can run faster. How do you compete with a hair color/texture, skin color, facial feature, natural body size/shape that you don’t possess? You either go thru great lengths, expense, damage and pain to change it OR the more popular way is to try to convince yourself, society and the subject of your “threat/competition” that what they have is not that great and that yours is better.
