Black Men and Natural Hair


I have been Natural for about 2 1/2 years now. I reside in Hampton, Va now. I have gotten mixed reviews on being Natural. Last year i encountered a young black male yelling get your hair done while riding in the back seat of a car as it went past me. At the time i was wearing a fro and a butch looking broad with dreads was laughing histerically. I couldn't for my life get why it was so funny and why they had that mentality. Fast forward to the future. I met a guy last month and we talked for a couple weeks on the phone. So i thought he was a nice person and sane. Come to find out he was a confused soul...smh We met up and spent time with each other. I had my 2 strand twist in. He preceded to tell me he only likes and dates white women 0_o. Clearly he knew i wasn't white when he approached me. Then he says I'm bad but i would be badder if i had a relaxer. In the same breath he says he likes my hair and im exotic looking. I'm just going to pray for this Confused Soul. He came from a black woman and has hate for them and his self. And when i went a little ham, now I'm the "angry black woman" and thats why i don't date ya'll. With that being said i know there is some brothas out there that isn't as confused as this jigga. Sometimes i get that fits you or i like your hair. While other times its like im from a foreign country. When i wear wigs, i get more attention and its sad because i am not my hair and i am the same person either way. MY HAIR IS NOT STRESSED, so HELL NO I'm NOT RELAXING my HAIR for NOBODY!!!!!
