One sided woman movement (Angry naturals)



Let me start off firstly by saying my hair is currently in a state of transition. I've been transitioning from relaxed back to its natural state but I'm still not sure if I will take the ultimate step and cut off my relaxed ends. The natural movement is a beautiful movement to see. I love seeing our ladies embracing their natural hair textures. However, what I can't stand to see is the hatred that they show towards those ladies who have opted not to go back to their natural textures for whatever reasons.  Natural hair ladies are always quick to say that men shouldn't be focusing on their exterior but on what's on the inside yet still they spend all their time speaking down on the physical exteriors of ladies with relaxed hair. Please ladies don't forget that a couple months ago or years ago you were fully contented with your relaxed hair and would question natural hair girls for not doing the same.

The next issue I have is when natural hair girls put in extensions in their hair and call it protective styles but spend all their free time jumping on the backs of ladies who wear straight weaves because their extensions don't look natural. It doesn't matter if it looks natural or not ,extension is extension and they are wearing it for the same purpose as you. Then there are those naturals who always have in false hair and then once a year they take them out just to post a picture to say they are team natural. Please stop embarrassing yourself you are not on that team.

The final issue is that of natural girls believing that their natural hair brings them 100% closer to being a true African than anyone else. Looks is just half of it please remember that without the mentality the looks are just looks nothing more. I was speaking to someone the other day about how the meaning of the word empress had changed over the years. When I was growing up an empress was a woman who dressed modestly, spoke respectfully and had her natural hair . These days from you drop in the latest natural style you are called an empress. If the lady isn't going to embrace the term empress in its entirety please refrain from giving them the title. All I'm saying is that the women movement need less hatred and divisions and more love and unity. We need to stop finding all these reasons to divide us, but come together and purify our minds because that is what is most important.

The Young are being murdered

The death of the young By:©Saccheen Laing I put on my uniform Armed with books I set out in search of a good education. Streets lined with the blood stains of those who fell on the way  I'm determined to live to see another day But I have no control over those who believe they can have their own way. Armed with guns and knives  They attack me, They assault me, They abuse me , Because they believe they have control over me Because of guns and knives in hand. In my hands I write my plans A singer, an actor, a doctor, a fashion designer or a police man  I clench my fist as my blood runs to join those who fell before  My plans remain in my hands Never to be realized I am young but that means nothing on this land. The blood of the young will replace the ocean that surrounds and beautifies the land How many more shall die before you answer when I ask why? My mother shall cry and bury her son before he becomes a man My brot...

Loving a black man that doesn't love me

Image source: Google Images His beautiful dark skin made rich from the earth, his physical strength supporting where I am physically weak, his beautiful smile and then the depth of his speech. In a world where the wrongs that he has done is spoken about more frequently than what is good about him. I see the beauty in black unions,I see the beauty in black souls connecting, I see beauty in being by his side. The issue is, he no longer sees beauty in me. We walk paths these days paved with the broken connections. Couples who once professed to be so deeply in love now pretend to not know each other. We walk paths  where you can pour the purest of love into the vessel of a man/woman and they remain empty. On one side, we have black men who believe that black women have lost their worth. They have lost the meaning of what it means to be a Queen. The black man believes that the black woman has wrapped herself in the labels that society has placed on her. The black woman is ofte...

The Jamaica of tomorrow

When shall the change come? Crime and violence ago continue and mash up Jamdung? Street lights come on at night and our window lids we shut tight tight No kids on the street, no time to meet and greet Why can't we no longer walk at nights? Why we don't have no peace? Police men guard the streets  Kids run quickly pass them not sure if they police or just undercover gunman and thief Thousands complete their university education but student loan awaits them in every gleaner publication Jamaica is such a beautiful nation, nice food and nuff happiness and sweet jubilation Wait a moment and turn the  TV off the international station Turn the dial to our local station No more happiness and sweet jubilation Blood flowing in the streets of poverty and ever increasing destruction You have the answers? Tell us how we need a change in politics Five years time and we still have the same corruption  You tell me to smile because better must come I ...
