To further my point, one of the people I know that happens to be white with an adopted Black child came into my part-time job this past weekend! She came in with her sisters and of course one was white, the other was bi-racial and then she was the darkest of them all. Her hair was nowhere near acceptable, and looked as if some attempted to comb it but gave up. The other two siblings seemed flawless, while she had a perm that had been out grown by far. When she noticed me, she began to make comments on how her hair needs to be done, and how she was not happy with how it looked and would be glad if they could go to someone and get her hair done.
It is obvious that she felt a little uncomfortable with how she looked in the presence of other Black people, but this is the life that she lives, at home with some one that has no clue what it means to be Black, or give a Black person the proper care. But they could not wait to jump at the chance to call her hair "nappy!"
Please not that this was a photo that I had to sneak to take or else I would have a better photo of her, but you should be able to see the great possibility of psychological damage. Because her peers are not always playing fair when it comes to making fun of others.
I honestly believe that races should adopt their own races. It cuts down on a lot of issues to come!
Peace KG
