I HAVE HAD BRAIDS, TWIST, BUT AT THE MOMENT I WEAR A S-CURL. I HAVE ALWAYS HAD A PASSION TO GROW MY BEAUTIFUL WAVY HAIR, I HAVE A DEEP BLACK TEXTURE, AND VERY SOFT HAIR. I HAVE ALWAYS WENT TO SCHOOLS WHERE LONG HAIR WAS NOT ALLOWED, AND MY MOTHER HAS ALWAYS TOLD ME THAT MEN WITH BRAIDS WON'T GET HIRED. I GOOGLED THAT TOPIC AND FOUND THIS BLOG. LADY YOU SOUND JUST LIKE MY MAMA, I CAN UNDERSTAND AND RESPECT YOUR POINT OF YOU, AND I WOULD LIKE TO BELIEVE THAT YOU KNOW THAT ALL BLACK MEN WITH BRAIDS DO NOT FALL UNDER YOUR STEROTYPES. I HAVE COME TO A CONCLUSION THAT IF I AM NOT EXCEPTED BECAUSE OF MY HAIR, I WAS NOT PURPOSED TO BE. I ALSO KNOW THAT WE AS BLACK PEOPLE HAVE A AN EXTENSIVE CULTURAL BACKGROUND, AND GOD MADE, BEAUTIFUL MEN, WITH LONG BEAUTIFUL HAIR ARE NOT EXEMPT FROM IT. I WOULD PROBABLY FEEL SOMEWHAT DISRESPECTED ABOUT YOUR COMMENTS IF I HAD THE HAIR, BUT I DON'T. I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL MY HAIR GROWS, AS SOON AS IT DOES I WILL BE GETTING IT FRENCHED BRAIDED, BY MY COUSING JACQUANNA, HOPEFULLY ON CHRISTMAS VACATION NEXT YEAR WHEN I COME HOME FROM COLLEGE.

However, I feel your argument is bogged down by your grossly over generalized and stereotypical statements. You certainly cannot believe that every man who wears braids is unemployed, lacks drive, and is basically up to no good. Come on you have to be smatter than that! That is the same as saying all black women over the age of 21 have at least for children, and a minimum of three "baby-daddy's". I would be interested to know how you wear you hair and what you feel it says about you, as well as how other people may percieve you because of it.

He doesn't sound too stable. Well, if they aren’t with him then it could be safer to say they are better off. He doesn’t sound too stable.
