Can I Touch Your Black Hair?

[Bread]

Pretty sure I've seen Robyn ask Juror this question in person

Oh man:

Blogger Los Angelista explained her response to a woman's incredulous "Are you serious, I can't touch your hair?" by writing that no she couldn't, "Because my black ancestors may have been your ancestors' property, and had to smile while they got touched in ways they didn't want to, but I am not YOUR property and never will be so you'd best move your hand away from me."

"I think it's the idea that they have the right to possess black women and they will take any excuse they can to jump over the border, whether it's policing our behavior or policing our hair," Martin said. "I think it's about ownership of black bodies more than it has to actually do with hair."

But you don't have "black" hair. You have nice bouncy curls. Bread is bald duckling, so I don't have the opportunity to touch bouncy curls unless I see you.

 

[Bread]
