Everybody wants to be a blonde for the attention it attracts.In this society those with blonde hair are considered the pinnacle or beauty and naturally everyone goes for that look which is the most coveted.
I won’t begin to accuse every single woman who bleaches her hair of tryin to be White but I will say that they are trying to attain a look that this White society dictates as being BEST.
Debra, is it just the color of the hair you’re referring to or a combination of their hair being blonde, permed and is more than likely a weave/wig/extensions?
What do you think about black women with blonde dreadlocks? Are they too taking us far from blackness?
I do not believe Fantasia, Beyonce or any of the other sistahs want to be White or even look like White women? White beauty is grossly exaggerated.They are hardly the finest women walking the planet.They are simply the beneficiaries of a racist system that puts everything White and White looking above everything Black and Black looking.Yes blonde hair is the preferred hair color in this and most European countries and that is also why most women aspire to have this hair color but I think that is as far as it goes.I don’t think any person of color would choose to be White because looks wise I don’t think any of us truly believe they are superior to us.Not even they believe that.
