Just read this and wanted to share

Our skin is brown because it's supposed to be. Our hair is kinky because it's supposed to be. It's not something that needs to be fixed or hidden. It's not something to be ashamed of. It's just hair. It's not bad hair or good hair. Just hair. The idea that it must be fixed (or straightened) is left-over baggage from the days of slavery... an idea that we've held for so long that we don't even realize why we do it, and we no longer have a clue how to manage and maintain our hair in its natural state. We shun our own natural hair texture because we have been told for generations that nappy hair is bad. We've been made to feel that the only way to attain 'good' hair is to straighten it. We've turned perfectly neutral descriptive words into negatives. Straight isn't a negative word. Wavy isn't a negative word. When we can hear the words kinky and nappy as being purely descriptive and carrying no negative connotation, and when we can all 'stop living the lye', we will have made it to true acceptance of ourselves.

I like that. Seems like I've read it somewhere too. Good stuff.
