I wish the world would run out of relaxer
Some black women would die
That’s ok though.
We would have a parade
Afro-thickness would take over
WORLDWIDE THERE WOULD BE TANGLED MASSES OF KINK and true nappiness
The dreaded locks would abound and spread like disease.
I wish the world
would run out of chemical perm and relaxers!
We would burn Barbie at the stake and deliver our youths
from burns, bad skin and balding
Young black girls would be free
Nobody would care about hair type A, B or C, 1, 2 or 3
It would all just be AFRO
Braided, plaited, weaved, locked, sewn, shown
Bought or our very own
Just no more relaxer
I wish the world would run out of relaxer!
STRONG WORDS! why do I get the feeling that we see through the same binoculars...(that's a mystery)
