Hair Evolution of Tyra Banks

It is a trick, has anyone ever noticed the black woman in commercials always have short afros or short locks. This is not a true depiction of black women, not every black woman has short hair that looks like an afro or kinky locks. While their is nothing wrong with afros or locks, it's an image the media continues to push because the black woman who looks like Beyonce, or Meagan Good or Nia Long or Sanaa or Gabrielle is to much of a threat to the white woman. So they will continue to show these white women dress to the nines and the lone black woman in the commercial with short hair looking like a dude. Don't fall for the stereotypes. Black people are what makes this world go round, believe it!!!

I can not believe people are actually on this site trying to guilt people into wearing a certain hairstyle. It's ridiculous. I'm grown, and if I want to wear my own hair or a weave down my back, I will. No amount of bullying or pressure will stop me. I for one think that the media doesn't want black women moving away from natural styles because they feel we look much better than they do, so they want to keep black women in afros, locks and braids, styles that make some of us look more masculine. While white people are getting dyed, extensions, nose jobs, boob jobs, butt jobs, wearing orange skin coloring, getting their hair relaxed and straightened. It's a trick that I am not falling for.
