I hate that term " good hair " also...it actually sickens me when I hear another black person say so and so has good hair? What is that suppose to mean? That because your hair is straighter and long and doesnt need relaxers its " good. " Black people and thier ignorance I tell you. Its the same thing I see on Facebook. Groups called " i have good hair and im proud? B*tch and??? Seriously tho...its just silly and ignorant that in todays society we STILL got black people thinking white so its gotta be right.

Im in that group! But I think the creator wasn't using the term to put anyone down. The title was probably used to grab attention. The people in the group have all different textures and grades of hair. If you keep your hair clean and styled, you have "good hair"... There is a group also called "Brown Sugar: Cause them light skinned **** are going out of style", but I don't get offended by that, because hopefully whoever named that group was joking.

yea I hear what you saying...and I feel the same about those groups geared towards different shades of being dark/light. Hopefully they are just jokin...but I never join groups like that either cause we are all BROWN SKINNED at the end of the day. Regardless of the shade it is, brown is beautiful PERIOD. We need to stop gettin stuck up on things that dont matter. Thats all im really saying...

lol. Oh Lord. Not tryin to disrespect the sistas of the lighter persuasion. Just establishing that the song in particular, in my opinion, was what kinda started the "light skin girls are more attractive than dark skin girls" thing especially up here in NYC. I mean u dont hear any song about us chocolate sistas. lol. let me stop. But yea, there ain't nothing wrong with being light skin, dark skin, and everything in btwn. In the end, we're all connected as beautiful black women and complexion and skin tones shouldnt be wat divides us as sisters.

I think of it as the in-between complection. All it takes is a writer and a beat, and there can be a song decdicated to darker complected women. "Brown Skin" by India.Arie definitely wasn't talking about me, but I appreciate the song nontheless...
