We forget that it's also so that WE will find OURSELVES attractive.
We have been told that to be attractive we have to have a looser curl pattern, or be willing to put in the extra work so that others will find us attractive. We have been told our entire lives that naturally kinky hair is not where it’s at. The point is, we go through it to meet a standard. We are out here laying down edges, some are using texturizers, others are using heaps of gel and tying scarves so tight around their heads that their eyes are bulging from the strain.
#Gorilla snot and gorilla glue skin
When your hair broke off from chemical relaxers, was that what you deserved? When you had little bald spots because your braids were too tight, did you rightfully earn that? When your skin looks extra rough because of the products you have been using to “tone” (read: lighten) it, was that what you deserved? Knock it tf off! White supremacy has made us all feel like we are entirely less than adequate and do some downright desperate things to “fix” ourselves or otherwise get to a certain look. It doesn't matter if she did the shit on purpose or on accident (my money is on accident/ignorance, because who knowingly places glue that will hold till Jesus comes, on their head?!) We lost sympathy for her and so many people wanted to talk about how she was chasing attention with a “and that’s what she gets” sort of attitude following the sentiment. Here it is: white supremacy is insidious! Meanwhile, while we ALL have done (and still do) fucked up things to our hair and bodies to meet the demands of white supremacy, too many folks had not one shred of sympathy for our girl who was suffering. So, after this happened, many of my friends were reaching out to me about my opinion on Ms. If you have been living under a rock, Tessica Brown took to TikTok not to talk about the cuteness of her hairstyle and how she achieved the look, but was instead talking about how her style, laid to the gawds, was a product of gorilla glue and had been her style (of not her choice) for well over a month!
