I read what I wrote again and as I remembered, nothing derogatory. You need to get off your high horse and lighten the fuck up.

"....Natural hair is beautiful. I love how nappy it is, I love how nappy it gets when its wet, and I love how no other people in the world come close to having hair like ours. In high school, I played sports. Thinking I was grown, I decided to forgo my cornrows and press my hair. After two-three hours of sweating a day, I know I don't need to tell you guys what my hair looked like. So, I would press it just about every day after I got home from practice, which was incredibly damaging but my hair was strong enough to take it. By the time, I arrived at college, I washed my hair once a week and pressed it about once a week. I would hide myself in my room and comb out my natural hair. I would lock the door because I didn't want any of my Caucasion friends to see my hair in its natural state. I did not want to have to answer their questions (why is your hair so curly? oh my gosh, it's so curly! why does your hair do that?) and I got really tired of having to explain my existence to them (after all I never asked them why their hair was like that...). Finally, I said to myself that it was about time my Caucasian friends saw what my hair looked like and finally understood that the vast majority of Black people had hair that was naturally like mine. When they finally saw my hair, they were shocked but genuinely intrigued (although it was probably the same intrigue one would have in an exotic animal). The most negative reaction I got came from an African-American friend (who had been permed most her life) who told me that my wet hair looked horrible and that I needed to hurry up and fix that. It was at that point I realized that we (Black people) do not play a small part in perpetuating this nonsense about our hair being ugly. It wasn't my white friends who had a problem with my natural hair, but my black ones....."
