I officially have a problem with Chris Rock's movie "Good Hair"

[coldcrust]

Some of you have been in the matrix so long, everything seems normal.

As i said:

This is NOT a black woman problem, it is a woman problem.

Tons of white women use extensions/weaves


But Rock knows better than to put them too in this movie........

Black women DO use extensions/weaves more than any other type of women..there is no denying that. What if Chris Rock makes a movie about it..big fucking deal!
If a person is this overly sensitive..then one does come across a lot of racism in ones lifetime.
Let it go man!

Co-sign that assclown is extra sensitive. Walking down the street is racist. Eating food is racist, Working out is racist, seeing a movie with no black characters is also racist. These kats see everything as being racist.

I haven't seen the movie yet so I won't make any judgments but why is it that there are black people always saying 'Well white people do this, white people do that blah blah' ol Cotton field fools. Stop putting white folk on such a high pedestal as to compare standards. People are missing the point, black people make up 70% of the haircare consumerism in America. 70% and black folk are 12% of the population. If that doesn't worry then something is wrong.

But since people want to compare themselves to other races, the reason why black women catch so much heat for wearing weaves is because they are the ONLY women who wear weave that is absolutely nothing like their real hair texture and everyone knows it. Now we can go back and forth about how it's easier to manage relaxed hair, some will disagree and others won't, it depends on your own experience, but you can't deny the fact that these damaging chemicals are being sold to our women by a market that doesn't care for our well being.

I remember doing some research on how it's unhealthy to use a relaxer while pregnant. I'll try and find that article later but that should be enough proof.

But yeah, I'll stop this rants and I'll add more once I see the movie.

They're included in the movie as well.

plenty of jobs for locs twists and braids too if the chem hair women convert I guess just the koreans lose out on the fake hair but do we really care about them?

Yeah true indeed bigirl. The Koreans and Indians would take the most substantial hit financially if black women deviated away from the "permed hair and weaves". There would be a slight revenue loss on the part of hair salons because most natural oriented hairstyles arent that expensive to get in the first place compared to the straight hair alternative.

On another note I would have never guessed white women were into extensions and weaves like that. Maybe Im just used to them having buns and straight combed hair but then again Im in the military.

SORRY BUT BLACKS ARE LOW MAN ON THE TOTEM POLE IN THE ECONOMICS OF THE HAIR CARE INDUSTRY ND ARE CONSTANTLY SYSTEMATICALLY BEING FORCED OUT BY THE INDIANS AND ESPECIALLY THE ASIANS.

THEY HAVE THIS SHIT ON LOCK
DO THE HOME WORK YOU WILL SEE WHO OWNS WHAT
AND WHERE THE MONEY GOES.

you know you bring up a very interesting point in addition to my response to Bigirl. What if we as blacks had the market cornered in black hair care. Would this issue as we now see it still be an issue? During the early parts of the twentieth century, it was exclusively blacks producing these hair care products as well as being stylist. Im curious now as to when the Koreans got a foot in the market and systematically took it over.

THESE ARE NEW TIMES
WE DONT HAVE THE UNITY IN THE BLACK COMMUNITY TO KEEP DOWN
THE VIOLENCE LET ALONE SECURE OUR ECONOMIC OR CONSUMER FUTURE
IN HAIR CARE.
EVERYTHING WE CREATE, BECOMES USEFUL TO US OR WE BECOME DEPENDENT
UPON GETS EXPLOITED, BOOTLEGGED OR SOLD OUT TO OTHER RACES.
LOOK AT JAZZ,BLUES,ROCK AND ROLL AND RAP MUSIC.

THE ASIANS HAVE NETWORKS OF COMPANIES AND MANUFACTURERS
WHO BOOTLEG , REVERSE ENGINEER AND REPRODUCE BLACK HAIR CARE PRODUCTS AND EQUIPMENT,
USE SIMILAR PACKAGING AND NAMING ,SOMETIMES USING THE SAME NAME THEN SELL THE SHIT ON THE SHELF
RIGHT NEXT TO THE REAL SHIT WHICH THEY STOCK LESS OF
THEN EVENTUALLY STOP BUYING ALL TOGETHER EVENTUALLY REPLACING IT
WITH THEIR PRODUCTS MADE OVERSEAS AND SOMETIMES RIGHT IN OUR COMMUNITIES.

FURTHER .......THEY GOT A LOCK ON THE WEAVE....PERIOD
YOU CAN NOT BUY IT UNLESS YOU SPEAK THEIR LANGUAGE AND HAVE THEIR FACIAL FEATURES.
THEREFORE ANYONE THINKING ABOUT OPENING A HAIR SUPPLY STORE BETTER THINK AGAIN....
THEY HAVE THE SYSTEM ,BUYING POWER AND THE PRODUCTS TO SHUT YOU DOWN AS FAST AS YOU OPEN THE DOORS


ALL THIS BECAUSE WE WONT STOP BUYING THE SHIT OR AT LEAST STICK TOGETHER
HAIR WEAVE AND PERM IS LIKE SELLING CRACK AND THEY KNOW IT.
PERM = CREAMY CRACK
AND THIS IS JUST A FRACTION OF THE SHIT IN THE GAME......IT GETS MUCH DEEPER

Asians are having eye surgery, no documentary/movie

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YzV15eUEXcE

"Never Perfect" (trailer) documentary about asians spending so much on eye surgery

White girls are slutting out more than ever, no documentary/movie

"oral sex is the new goodnight kiss"

http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/Parenting/story?id=7693121&page=1
documentary about kids slutting out more than ever

I haven't seen Good Hair, but from hearing C.R mention it on Jay Leno, it seems that it is about 12% of the population buying 80% of the hair care products in this country and black women's obsession with wanting to look white.

 

[LSN]

I hate when niggas bring up the few white women who wear weaves...are they buying afro-weaves...fuck outta here...can't love a sister who don't love her natural self...stop trying to have "good" white woman hair...

Madam C.J. Walker (December 23, 1867 – May 25, 1919) was an American businesswoman, hair care entrepreneur, tycoon and philanthropist. She died after World War I.

Her fortune was made by developing and marketing a hugely successful line of beauty and hair products for black women, under the company she founded Madam C.J. Walker Manufacturing Company.
The Guinness Book of Records cites Walker as the first female who became a millionaire by her own achievements.

Walker saw her personal wealth not as an end in itself, but as a means to promote economic opportunities for others, especially black people.
She took great pride in the profitable employment — and alternative to domestic labor — that her company afforded many thousands of black women who worked as commissioned agents.
Her agents could earn from $5 to $15 per day in an era when unskilled white laborers were making about $11 per week.[2] Marjorie Joyner, who started work as one of her employees, went on to lead the next generation of African-American beauty entrepreneurs.

Walker was known for her philanthropy, leaving two-thirds of her estate to educational institutions and charities, including the NAACP, the Tuskegee Institute and Bethune-Cookman College. In 1919, her $5,000 pledge to the NAACP's anti-lynching campaign was the largest gift the organization had ever received.

don't forget..chris rock also regretting doing the black people vs. niggas joke..

Do you have where he says that...cuz if he did I'm glad he said it...I was NEVER a fan of that sketch...

 

[LSN]

Kniccas are complaining about some shit they haven't even seen. Thats like me bitching about how much I hate spaceships.

But I hate spaceships...them shits are too round...shits look like a flying dinner plate...

 

[LSN]

I PERSONALLY HOPE THAT
HE CLOWNS SO BADLY THAT WOMEN REALIZE HOW UNNECESSARY
WEAVE REALLY IS AND EVOLVE TO WHERE THE SHIT IS OUTDATED AND
NO LONGER AN ACCEPTABLE CHOICE WHILE REALIZING
THE TRUE BEAUTY IN BEING MORE NATURAL.
GET AWAY FROM THE WHITE MANS IDEA OF WHAT BEAUTY IS
AND EMBRACE OUR NATURAL STATE AS BEAUTY.

I CAN TELL YOU THIS THERE ARE WOMEN
WHO ARE ADDICTED TO WEAVE AND SHIT LIKE IT.
MAYBE THIS WILL SERVE AS A SEED PLANTING MISSION
TO HELP THEM SEE THE TRUTH.

IM OPTIMISTIC.
BUT THINKS MOST OF IT
WILL FALL ON DEAF PERM FILLED EARS.

 

[LSN]

GTFOH with that bullshit. White women don't perm their hair to be Black. The Black bitch perms her hair because she wants to be WHITE. That's why it's a problem and that's why the Black bitch needs to be exposed and ridiculed.

Basically.

I was just about to drop that stat...I atcually heard the number was @ 80%...but cats wanna be in denial and keep stroking that fake ass hair...

AND ITS CHEAPER
I KNOW A LADY RIGHT NOW
WHO IS OUT OF BUSINESS BECAUSE THE ASIANS OPENED UP RIGHT NEXT TO HER.
THEY BUY IN LARGE QUANTITY AND DISTRIBUTE BETWEEN THEMSELVES
THEREFORE THEY CAN AFFORD TO SELL AT CHEAPER PRICES.

SO............THEY PRICE THE PRODUCTS A FEW CENTS CHEAPER.
RATHER THAN SUPPORT A BLACK BUSINESS
A BLACK WOMAN WILL GO NEXT DOOR TO SAVE 10 CENT
AND RUN ONE OF THEIR OWN OUT OF BUSINESS
I HAVE SEEN IT FOR MYSELF.

THE INDIANS AND ASIANS WILL NOT SELL WHOLESALE HAIR TO A BLACK OWNER...PERIOD
SO THE SELECTION OF WHAT A BLACK STORE OWNER IR MINIMAL AT BEST
SO THEY ALSO GO TO WHERE THE SELECTION IS BETTER
AGAIN ....WHILE PUTTING ONE OF THEIR OWN OUT OF BUSINESS
AND IN THE PROCESS OF FEEDING THEIR ADDICTION
PLUS TAKING DOLLARS FROM THE BLACK COMMUNITY

This is everywhere bro. What's even worse is when I see three or more black owned hair dressers open on the same street. Like that's our only niche market. We shouldn't be competeing with each other in a market monopolized by non-blacks.

We need to branch into other sectors of the market. We're to accustomed to sticking to what we know. I know I'm doing my part and I hope others do too.

Thats exactly who I was thinking of Kaya. Good black history drop. I should have been more specific in my question because Trufiction did answer it in the manner that asians do have the market cornered. But Im wondering if we as black folks had the industry cornered, would we still see black women straightening their hair to modify themselves to the standard of perceived white beauty as something wholy negative and destructive to our image? Remember Im saying this with the thought that blacks are the manufacturers and owners of these companies so all the revenue and profits in black hair care would only be cyclical to the black community.

Ultimately, this is a black woman's issue. Otis said it right that we as men dont have any control over whether the women in our communities choses to have a certain look. Even if we made it known to our women that we as blackmen prefer a more natural hairstyle, they would still go out and get the creamy crack aka perms and weaves. Ive heard multiple women say they get perms because its more manageable. Is it an identity crisis issue? Like I said when a women feels that her hair is more important than her financial well-being or her health, something just aint right.

 

[(0_0)..l.. finger]

I fucking hate when niggas say "Look at what White people do" as an excuse for what we do. Why can't we just take a look at our own issues? Why is it that we have a problem publicly discussion our issues?



No, it IS a Black women's issue. The percentage of other races that use weaves and extensions are MUCH lower than Black women. And those women aren't completely changing thier hair texture. There's a REASON why Black women are specifically getting a Whiter texture of hair. I can't believe you can't see that.



FLAT IRON IS STILL CHEMICAL-LESS. Black women who use flat-irons only are called NATURAL.

c/s 100000000%

Bro, I totally agree that is why I how there is some context and based on teh Oprah clip, she didn't seem too worried that she had straightened hair which also backs up what you said, it seems like it is a woman's issue.

It remains to see what the outcomes of this movie is.

My only concern is that I don't want to see white women put down black women based on this movie when a lot of them also do the extensions thing.........

this is stupid ass thread. rock did the movie to show his daughter that there is no such thing as good hair or bad hair. and he take black women to task on their ignorant views on their precious hair. this is a great film and im disappointed in you kaya for not getting the point.

YES WE DO.
ITS JUST THAT MOST MEN DONT UNDERSTAND THAT OR UNDERSTAND WHY.
IF WE AS STRONG BLACK MEN SET A STANDARD OF WHAT IS ACCEPTABLE BY
OUR WOMEN THINGS WOULD CHANGE,
BUT MOST BLACK MEN DONT EVEN LIKE THEMSELVES SO
THERE IS NO EXAMPLE OF WHAT STRENGTH AND SECURITY IS
WITHIN THE RELATIONSHIPS WE FORGE WITH ONE ANOTHER.

NO WOMAN WORTH HER SALT IS GOING TO FOLLOW WEAKNESS
WHICH I WHY SO MANY MEN NEVER
FIND OR HAVE A DECENT WOMAN , REMAIN BITTER AND USE THE
WOMEN AS AN EXCUSE FOR BEING WEAK AND SINGLE MINDED.

yeah i can tell you similar stories...a female friend of mine(the one in my sig) owned a few beauty supply stores and a nail shop years ago and got shut down because of asian stores and black women flocking to do business with those stores only...

i helped her in the past on some ventures and i'm helping her now go a different route, she got her instructor's license so we are both going in on opening up a nail tech school for her to run.
