So, that is what one of my white coworkers said to me today.
Sidebar: I prepooed today with shikakai and amla, so I went to work smelling like curry........and this is what intially sparked the conversation.
She then said, "When I think it's real, they always say it's fake". At first, I was annoyed and about to enlighten her. But then I looked around and all the black women around us were wearing wigs or weaves.
So, I took a deep breath and said...."this is all my hair" and "black women can grow their hair as long as they choose...and it is their personal preference to wear weaves, wigs etc."
I was gonna tell her to come on here, but I know she wouldn't, but I did tell her about it.
I couldn't get too upset because her thoughts/views are only based on what and who she is around. It is a shame! I'm glad that I had the opportunity to prove her wrong.
