From the dreads of Bob Marley to people who “rock rough and and stuff with they Afro Puff’s,” black people very much like having a quality hair cut/style/do. The stuff black people can do with their hair… it’s just…. it’s like a Transformer, one second it’s this, and then it is that. One day Ben Wallace has a big puffy fro, the next he has spelled his name in cornrows across his head.
Speaking of cornrows, if you want to ask your one black friend for cornrows, do not make the mistake of saying “cornrolls” because this would be “whack.” Many white people, approximately 22,000 of them, are or at some time prior have been unsure as to the pronunciation of said word. All black people of course know the correct spelling/pronunciation is cornrows from their extensive experience as Transformers. This is proven by simply doing this google search.
What is amazing about the cornrows, besides the numerous shapes, words, patterns, and celebrity faces that black people can put them in, is how quickly they can become the best afro in the room. Way better than your one Jewish friends Jew Fro at least. And the things a black person will do with that fro. Putt a pick in it, part it, puff it out into different shapes and curvatures. It really is a work of art; black art (The Harlem Renaissance coming soon). While Jewish people just sort of do this.
Black women do even more than their male counterparts, and those that can’t, get extensions until they can, something black people refer to as a “weave.” Weave or not, black women have some of the most extensive and beautiful braids, curls, bangs, cornrows, dreads, and fros. Often they will combine these together to create all new looks. White girls in high school often experiment with these “combinations” for a unique look at prom, only to end up looking like Christian from Project Runway.
White girls will often spend hours on their hair, making exclamations like “Ugghh I like hate my hair! Like it never stays how it is like supposed to.” A black women’s hair stays exactly how they damn well want it. And if they want it changed, they go to the bathroom for 3 minutes and come back looking like a whole new woman. They like their hair.
If your one black friend visits you one day with some cornrows in, don’t be shocked to see him later in the day with a big puff. Just take a deep breath, and remember; they are the only black person you know, and they are proud of their hair. So smile, give them a pound, and say “What up G/Yo/Dawg?”
ok, this one made me laugh!
Wow, this is reaaly nice and the line cut is neat. This is what we uesd to do to keep our hair fixed and nice for school back then in Africa.
wonderful.
lmao…yep, you got that right…
nice well written post
And yes, I was searching for a new hairstyle online when I came across the post…lol
This is clearly a white dude that wrote this crap. I understand most of it is true (and funny) but I dont appreciate how he says “just give them a pound and say dawg, Yo, etc.” black people dont even talk like that. Dont tell white people to say that to “their only black friend” because their “only black friend” would look at them like they’re stupid, then never talk to them again.
i dont thnk this angry black man understands this is a joke
shut up. he isnt angry. he is just a little frusterated at the fact that you are dumbbbb….
lol@angry blackman, but yes for the most part the article was funny and true!
if you are not black dont ever day that again!
The reason you feel black peole love their hair is because you don’t have it and will never know how it is to have afro-centric hair.
This means its a form of SPECTACLE to you. You’re in awe at something so foreign to you and almost forget that its just as human as your own.
Sure you go out of your way to give black people props on the versatility and malleability of their hair but just because a comment is positive and without spite doesn’t mean it’s without racist connotation and ideology.
You fail to mention and flat out attempt to ignore that fact that for centuries white people have viewed afro-centric hair as lesser, comparing it to pubic hair.
With your enthymemes, you fail to mention that black hair products are scarcely available in leading department stores.
You fail to mention that our hegemonic, “American” culture has had a long history of making beauty synonomous with more ango-saxon (white) features. It’s still evidenced today as many black women and women with afro-centric har straighten it, making it “easier”, more “manageable” and more accepted in mainstream society.
Internalized oppression exists within black people and it would be silly for you assume they aren’t self conscious about their hair at all when most of the images that bombard them (and all of us) don’t visually represent them.
wat was yall thinkin when u put dis on ther and sayed it was black folks hairstyles well white folks go wit black folks and white folks are nasty dressers
Great post, I like your style and thoughts you give everyone here. I keep coming back here without saying thanks for the ideas you share, so thanks!. I’ll come back frequently now 😉
I wouldn’t say three minutes to do black hair. Compared to white women, It takes much longer… Though I do love the varity, I means so many styles to choose from
Most black people I know are proud of their hair. The only time they are upset about it is when it looks nappy. If you don’t like the humor of his psots why don’t you….O I don’t know….STOP READING THEM!!!
because i want to see how dumb you are all. that is why i am reading them.
so…. i don’t really get the purpose fo this article
I think you need to check your facts. You have no idea what you’re talking about. It doesn’t take 3 minutes in the bathroom to change our hair. It can take hours to straighten it/braid it/ unbraid. And our hair does not stay how we want it to unless it is braided.
You are wrong when you say black women love their hair, because I can guarantee you that every black woman you ask will say they have had insecurities about their hair when they were younger or they still do.
I agree with humor_is-ignorancemasked, in society straight hair is accepted. It is common to hear a young black girl say “I hate my hair” “I wish I had white girl hair” etc. Black working women/ business women have their hair straightened because anything else would be unacceptable
It’s ironic because what you said is the total opposite and is true for white women. White women (with straight hair) have it a lot easier, they can do their hair much quicker than we can. All they have to do is blowdry it and they’re done.
By the way, if you don’t like black peoples’ hair can you just say it without badly implying it? I don’t know if you are trying to be politically correct or something but that is even more aggravating
Wow you can really tell that this is a racist stupid white person that created this site, the same one who created Stuff That White People Like (which only post things about : intellects, art, culture etc). Wow what a racist ignorant stupid white boy….I’m done!
Just so you know there’s also a “stuff white people like” website. So
I’m going to go on that site and write how ignorant black people are. Stupid racist.
oh how ignorant white people are. they are dumb and try to steal all african american culture! YOU GUYS CANT DANCE LIKE US! how are going to do hip hop if you can’t even keep beat? haa. and then you all taLK about how bad our hair is. PLEASE OUR HAIR IS THE BOMB! we can do anything. when its hot, guess what, we dont have to worry about our hair being in our fface. how you think we survived before you dumbass white people came along? and for your information, if you want to talk badly about black people so much, i hope you do know that ALL people come from africa. look it up hun! peace.
i think Stuff That White People like makes fun of white people just as much. and ur being unfair, because if Mo’ Nique was sayin’ this, you’d laugh ur ass off. but when a white person says it the world ends.
this is the only descent post on this blog.
because its true
the ending “what up g/dawg” its bullshit
maybe your next article should be the difference between black people and ghetto people -__-
Wow, some of you people are crazy! I’m a Black girl and I love my hair. I wear it in many different styles and I think part of its beauty is the fact that I can straighten it, or wear it completely natural and look so different than all other women. Straight hair is easier to manage sometimes, but White/Asian women don’t have the ability to go big & curly while at the beach on a hot, summer day! I live at the beach and I love the beach, my hair is in a whole bunch of waves naturally and its sexy and cute in summer to wear natural with some white shorts. I feel exotic when i do it, and I look exotic. Guys seem to like it and i like it. :))
wtf ? obviously this is a mexican person that wrote this, not black or white since its making fun of both not that I care about the black part…..whats up with the oh black people have better hair than white people HA yeah right they all have pubs on their heads……….. go back across the border where you came from
your a dumbass!!! you fucking low-life bastard!!! shut your uneducated mouth up, you asshole!!! and why dont you go back to where your from!! cuz i bet you are not an native american, the US is the native americans homeland, thats why thier called NATIVE americans(do you know what that word means dumbass?!) so go back to where you came from.
P.S. You suck big, nasty dick with your mom. =]
oh yeah, you were also talking shit about black peoples hair……at least they dont get fucking lice in their hair, and when they get it wet it doesnt smell like a damn wet, nasty dog!!!!!!!
ha we dont have pubs in our hair. what the fuckk? i hope you understand that our hair is coiled curly. so if you dont understand THAT MEANS WE HAVE CURLY HAIR IN THE UPRIGHT POSITION!
@ emoxxx… if you “don’t care about the black part”, why in the world would you visit and actually read a site AND comments about stuff BLACK people like? That seems kinda… dumb. And when black people first came across “the border”, the trip was entirely financed by white people, not to mention against their will. So if you really want black people to leave on our own will, show us the money! Though I doubt you could afford it, that’s one option.
what the f*ck???

What a useful post here. Very informative for me..TQ friends…
Cheers,

tellthetruth : You’re a joke.
I will never straighten my hair. Fortunately black women in academia aren’t forced to cave into racist ideas. I hope that you are not a black person. Either way- you’re racist.
Straightened black hair generally looks hideous. It definitely does not look attractive. Only wealthy blacks like Tyra can afford weave (or want to).
My hair actually does take 3 mins to style….that part cracked me up…fails to mention 3 mins to style, 3 hours to dry. Hahaha so ya…I can change it quickly but it’s gonna drip for a long time!
Haha
Good example….I put my hair in a power puff yesterday…washed it…banded it into a puff…gave it a good shake…and went on out the door. Everyone at work said “oh…wow…love your hair!” few hours later they said “loved your hair this morning…but ummm….did you cut it?” hhaha wet…it will hang into my eyes…by the time it dries…75% curlier. Haha
I’m a cute Black female and I love the piece about hair!
Also, the writer isn’t B. Different point of view. Nice, not hard he gave us some hair luv.
I thought is was cute and complimentary the tone is sweet, not harsh.
Hm. Maybe that’s it. Maybe the haters are hating cause he’s uplifting BW instead of stereotypically dissing them for their hair choices.
YES I can change my hair in 3 mintues! It’s longish natural. Can untwist and pull up with a cute scarf in flash, make a afro puff in a minute, and pin my hair, with bobby pins, into a afro mohawk in a jiffy. Yawl be tripping.
And let’s be real. If a BM wrote that piece he’d be dissing the BW’s hairstyle (have you listen to (c)rap?)while uplifting the hair of WW. There, I said it.
You made some first rate factors there. I looked on the internet for the problem and located most individuals will go along with with your website.
AGIAN black n white aint all that different Im white n all my white friends have weaves all the time so dont go actin like we look a train wreck or somethin bc we certainly dont and also I’m a certified cosmetologist and even before that was my practice i knew it wasnt called “corn rolls” wtf is a corn roll forreal!

i cant lie i like this post whoever wrote this is very observative of black folks. im mulatto so i got something similar to a “Jew Fro” lol. but who is the author? i have a sneaking suspicion its a white chick that loves black dick. haha!
These posts are very stereotypical and racist!! This is NOT true. How can you talk about an entire race based off ONE freind? Get a life and please stop being so immature. I am black and i do not LOVE purple or red drinks, I have long beautiful hair so I do not prefer “weave” or braids, I like all diffirent types of food and I love my MOTHER. And this goes for the rest of my MANy black friends and family members
