In America, we tend to think that we’re the only country with problems of racism and colorism. Not the case.
A 19 year old Brazilian student claims she wasn’t allowed to enter her school on the first day of classes because of her hair. According to 19 year old Ana Carolina Bastos Soares, the director of the school stopped her at the door and told her that she was dressed “inadequate” for class.
When Soares defended herself by saying that there were white girls at the school with skirts cut lower than hers, the director informed her that she wasn’t being disallowed because of her skirt, but because of her “black power” hairstyle.
Even though Soares was eventually allowed to attend class, she has filed a complaint against the school.
I am glad she filed a complaint because we should not be forbidden to enter school because she wore a different hairstyle.
And look at how beautiful she is! Fools can’t see the forest for the trees.
It’s better, and more “sophisticated” to wear yak hair than the beautiful God-given hair one is naturally endowed with it seems.. Ignorance is a painful thing to witness, especially the self hatred model.
To be blessed with her natural beauty, and for fools not to be able to see and/or appreciate it is a travesty.
It always seems to be a problem when we as African american people do something but everybody else can go half-naked, make a public specticle of themselves in the nude and their having a breakdown and thats it. It’s just shameful how this world treats people of the darker skinned.
I was puzzled. All I could see was a beautiful young woman with an attractive hair style.
She is too cute, and I bet you anything sister girl is tall looking and had it going on:) It seems more like a jealous attack…she very pretty:) That’s right fight for your Rights! I wish you all the best….
I’ve had similar experiences. When I wore braids, I was told by my supervisor that it was “too powerful.” Not only was that silly, but we worked at a Spa/Salon where many came in and asked for my same exact hairdo!
Two things non-blacks can’t handle about black women; our hair and our asses.
I am a long time proponent of UNIFORMS in schools for both students and teachers. And I am referring to PUBLIC SCHOOLS. Wear your gear after school and on weekends.
And some hairstyles are distracting, like the picture of Miss Soares. Her hair is unsightly, and unclean looking. There has long been too much permissiveness in public education. UNIFORMS AND MORNING BIBLE READING AND PLEDGE
ALLEGIANCE TO THE REPUBLIC should be instituted. Both
teaching and learning are very hard work. Like a good breakfast, teachers and students need a good spiritual start to each school day.
Her hair does NOT look unclean. What in the world are you talking about? Her hair has been simply braided and unbraided to produce her natural curl. Its black women like you who think that a perm and a weave is the better look for the black woman. Although they both produce beautiful hairstyles as well, it shouldn’t be the norm. She should feel comfortable and proud to wear her natural texture if that’s what she wants to do.
BOY!!! what world do you live in ?? the 1920′s??? your an idiot ! I could tell if you had your way we would all be forced to do stupid stuff!
RENELDA IS NUTS- HOUSE SLAVE MENTALITY -Fuck the republic
