The Black Power movement showed the progression of the Black race. For the first time in history, American Blacks had the opportunity to name themselves… African-American. Terms like Negro and Colored were considered taboo.
Black history month is proof that African-American history is becoming more mainstream and common knowledge. I learned few facts growing up, but the majority of my Black history knowledge was attained after high school in my undergraduate studies.
In gaining Black history knowledge or “consciousness” many people go through a Black Power stage, sometimes in an extreme sense. To become pro-Black, as we know, does not necessarily mean anti-White or prejudice. It is an expression of self pride. An expression, which at a time, was absent in our mainstream society.
I consider this Black consciousness stage similar to the consciousness of natural hair.
After becoming natural, one may become extremely verbal about their natural hair pride. They may even become a natural hair nazi, putting others down for not doing what they do. How quickly they forget they too were rocking relaxers. The truth is, the majority of pro-natural hair wearers are NOT anti-relaxer for you, but for themselves.
One may consider the following hurtful …
“When You Become Natural – You Attract a Different Quality of Guys”
This translates to:
When you gain a certain level of self discovery and love for yourself, you attract a different level of guys.
There are two types of naturals. Some, who rock natural hair for JUST style. The second, our target market, those who used their natural hair journey as a positive catalysis for self discovery and love.
