YOUR COMMENTS:
This is just plain racist. It takes a lot of nerve to insist black women shouldn't wear their hair natural. It's disgusting that he thinks this is an acceptable remark. Jury, please show him that his determination to voice his race-based notions of beauty violate community standards.
JURY RESULTS
A randomly-selected Jury of DU members completed their review of this alert at Mon Aug 12, 2013, 03:48 PM, and voted 3-3 to LEAVE IT ALONE.
Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Sorry alerter, my hair is so curly when I try wearing it shorter or shoulder length it looks like I have an afro. I'm white. I don't see where the poster is insisting black women shouldn't wear their hair natural.
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT and said: Racist. But this person loves to get a rise out of people. For the record, natural hair IS beautiful hair.
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT and said: We don't need crap like that on DU
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT and said: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Personal opinion on a hair style. Maybe the alerter doesn't realize that folks from many races and ethnic backgrounds have work fro's. Ask anyone alive in the 70's.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Racist, really? It sounds like an opinion about a certain particular hair style. The poster says they don't think the look in the OP looks good "on anyone". The alerter needs to chill out. Nobody is trying to "insist " anything, it's just a personal opinion being expressed. Besides, do we know the poster's race?
