We more concerned with how it APPEARS to others than what it actually is.
We fake and a backward hustling fake. White folks fake pretending they NOT shitting on us and things are "Better for us than ever before" but they making sure the system stays exactly how it has always been. WE instead just fake to rep keeping it real, keeping it looking like we have some say, keeping it looking like we running shit, keeping it looking like "We wish a nigga would" all day long. WE ain't got shit to show for it but a handful of "celebrities and housewives and basketball wives and the same 16 actors and actresses past 20 years it seems but we done advanced and came up.
Money has no value to white folks, power is everything and that creates money by itself. WE have incredible power and only care about money which we turn around and give away to buy stuff that we will make us APPEAR to have status and power, backwards hustling all day everyday.
How about this, two of most known and lets say "POWERFUL" black women on earth from opposite spectrum, Oprah and Beyonce. Neither will go without a weave under no circumstance, Beyonce at least took it out for a hot sec to perform but she then dyed her OWN hair blond and then put the BLOND weave right back. What is that telling your everyday struggling sister when the most iconic black women of this era won't go WEAVELESS? Notice I didn't say permless or all natural.
I'm no fan of Nikki Minaj but that is powerful statement that she creates image-wise to take all them rainbow color weaves out and go with her hair and continue to do so. Again hair fixation another poison our sisters suffer and they afflict on their own daughters.
