The white person touching the black person's hair is a common enough event.<br /><br />A lot of black people invite whites to touch their hair. It's always funny. White people assume that because the black person's hair looks like Brillo it must feel like it too.<br /><br />It goes like this: the black person asks if the white person wants to touch their hair. The white person stammers a bit and finally touches it. Then they say "Oh, it's soft!".

The only actual difference is how they choose to label it.<br /></b><br /><br />There is a distinction that is more than mere labeling. <br /><br />But perhaps, in practice, it is impossible to untangle the two. I think one has to be wary of a bias toward hubris when assigning white influence as the predominant cause. There certainly isn't much white emulation in other cultural/lifestyle facets (particularly the edifying ones). This line of thought also handily falls right into the white:bad, others:innocent narrative--i.e. this nasty, racially biased culture has surreptitiously stoked self-loathing within these poor minorities.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-58492445674592981772012-08-05T19:24:30.288-07:002012-08-05T19:24:30.288-07:00"Black women and white liberals are ruining w..."Black women and white liberals are ruining what should be the crowning achievement of Gabby Douglas's life."<br /><br />- Don't worry, by the time the press gets through with it, it will be evil white conservatives who did it.Valenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-7428894446846236052012-08-05T18:23:34.463-07:002012-08-05T18:23:34.463-07:00I have literally no idea what people think is wron...I have literally no idea what people think is wrong with Gabby Douglas's hair. Even after reading articles about the 'controversy'. I have to assume that whatever is wrong with her hair is so subtle and intricate it cannot be articulated in mere words, because no one is able to do so.<br /><br />To me her hair looks exactly like that of all the other gymnasts: pulled back, painful-looking tight, in a pony tail. Extra shiny, as if slathered in hair spray to keep it pinned back. I don't happen to like this sort of hairstyle aesthetically but I have always assumed it is meant for functionality rather than beauty. In any event, why pick on this one particular gymnast when (skin color aside) her hair looks basically the same as all of the others? *boggle*Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-2691574685806929072012-08-05T16:41:28.702-07:002012-08-05T16:41:28.702-07:00You a regular reader of espnW, Steve?You a regular reader of espnW, Steve?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-87161932327752075792012-08-05T16:12:45.141-07:002012-08-05T16:12:45.141-07:00"whites think it's ok to touch black peop..."whites think it's ok to touch black peoples' hair.." huh? I never heard of a white person feeling the ok-ness to touch a black person's hair--or wanting too. I do remember walking past a black junior high when I was about 14 and having some harrassing blacks put their fingers through my hair and jeer. Obviously they were just trying to touch white people's hair. I can't imagine any white having the temerity to touch the blacks' hair even if they did want too.imagenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-31332935147731062912012-08-05T16:11:57.852-07:002012-08-05T16:11:57.852-07:00"The original Olympics in ancient Greece was ..."The original Olympics in ancient Greece was a semi-religious affair.

You would have been laughed out of Olympia for suggesting prizes for second or third place. Anything short of biting or gouging was allowed in the pankration, the most arduous fighting event.

I lived in a mixed-race neighborhood for years and don't recall ever seeing a white person touch a black person's hair. <br /><br />On the other hand, at that time, my hair was long, thick but finely textured and auburn. I not infrequently had black people touching it--men, women and children. I remember once being in a black family's home and they surrounded me so they could touch my hair.
