HAIR NAH - A GAME WITH PURPOSE

Tired of non-black folk reaching out to touch her hair, a young woman that goes by the name of Momo Pixel created a game so we can all decompress. It's hilarious and free.

My hair is a big topic of conversation on an almost daily basis. It’s not just with my white acquaintances, but also other people of color. Some folks confuse their curiosity and adoration of my hair with having a right to my body. Whether it comes from a friend or a passerby, it leaves me feeling stuck, insecure, and almost catatonic. I want to stand up for myself, but I also don’t want to offend anyone—always knowing that it is my hair and my body, not theirs.

I am not to be pet like your cat. Please pause before you consider messing up this carefully curated curl pattern. I always say: if you’re not my man or my hairstylist, your hands have no right or reason to be in my crown!

Out of the desire to give women of color a safe, cathartic outlet when it comes to uninvited hair touching, Hair Nah! was created by a dear friend of On She Goes, Momo Pixel. Hair Nah! is an interactive travel game that allows Black women—and all women of color—to virtually swat away the randos in order to preserve their crown...

MADAM C J WALKER WAS A NATURALISTA AND FEMINIST BUT NEVER INVENTOR OF CREAMY CRACK

repost

In fact, Madam C J Walker should probably counted as the original Naturalista.  Again, she did not invent the relaxer. G.A. Morgan and Annie Malone both invented relaxers.* 

 
Some of us might turn up our noses at some of of Walker's ingredients these days--petrolatum, beeswax, copper sulfate, precipitated sulfur, coconut oil and violet extract. But she didn't sell chemical straighteners for hair. That is, she did not invent the creamy crack. She didn't even invent the first hot comb. She only modified the french hot comb for black women.

CREAMY CRACK (def): 

Another word for chemical relaxers (perms). 

must be retouched every 6 to 8 weeks,

and become reliant on them, like a crackhead on crack.

Sarah Breedlove, who would later marry and become Mrs. Charles Joseph Walker, was into healing the scalp and healthy hair growth 


It was t was G.A. Morgan, famous on black websites everywhere for inventing the gas mask and the traffic light, that deserves much of the credit for inventing creamy crack, otherwise known as hair relaxer.

G A MORGAN - Inventor of Gas Mask, Traffic Light, and one of the first hair relaxers

     In 1909, Morgan was working with sewing machines in his newly opened tailoring shop—a business he had opened with wife Mary, who had experience as a seamstress—when he encountered woolen fabric that had been scorched by a sewing-machine needle. It was a common problem at the time, since sewing-machine needles ran at such high speeds. In hopes of alleviating the problem, Morgan experimented with a chemical solution in an effort to reduce friction created by the needle, and subsequently noticed that the hairs of the cloth were straighter.

     After trying his solution to good effect on a neighboring dog's fur, Morgan finally tested the concoction on himself. When that worked, he quickly established the G.A. Morgan Hair Refining Company and sold the cream to African Americans. The company was incredibly successful, bringing Morgan financial security and allowing him to pursue other interests.

Good Thing Mr. Morgan doesn't need the money from hair straightening how. Relaxer sales reportedly dropped 26% in 2014

ANNIE TURNBO MALONE

STARTED BY FOCUSING ON HEALTHY HAIR


BUT WITH THE HELP OF AN AUNT SHE WOULD  CREATE CHEMICAL STRAIGHTENERS FOR BLACK HAIR

While experimenting with hair and different hair care products, she developed and manufactured her own line of non-damaging hair straighteners, special oils, and hair-stimulant products for African-American women.[4] She named her new product “Wonderful Hair Grower”[5] To promote her new product, Turnbo sold the Wonderful Hair Grower in bottles from door-to-door.[5] She began to revolutionize hair care methods for all African Americans....

One of her selling agents, Sarah Breedlove (who became known as Madam C. J. Walker when she set up her own business), encouraged Turnbo to copyright her products under the name "Poro" because of what she called fraudulent imitations and to discourage counterfeit versions.

 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annie_Malone

http://thevillagecelebration.com/survivors-and-innovators-the-shared-legacy-of-annie-malone-and-madam-c-j-walker-2/

Malone's business thrived until she wound up in a battle for control of her business with her second husband, Aaron Eugene Malone. She'd left some of the day to day affairs in his hands as manager. And he eventually claimed he was responsible for 1/2 of the success of the business.  She suffered another blow when a former employee also sued her, claiming credit for Annie Malone's success. This lawsuit forced her to sell property in order to pay the settlement. Eventually, the government would come after for back taxes.

http://www.encyclopedia.com/topic/Annie_Turnbo_Malone.aspx

* * * * *
Life was hard on Sarah Breedlove from an early age. Her parents died when she was a child. She wound up marrying young. Her first husband died by the time she was 20.

When Sarah Breedlove took her children and moved to St. Louis Missouri, the middle class women in the church she attended helped her to see herself as more than a washer woman. She learned philanthropy and entrepreneurship, both, from these church women. And she started her first charity drive at this black church.

When a scalp condition caused her to lose her hair she became ashamed of her appearance. She started her hair company by finding a solution for her own scalp condition. Later, when asked how she started her hair care business she would say that she prayed for a solution and a big African man appeared to her in a dream. She wound up ordering ingredients from Africa and used them to create a  shampoo and an ointment. With her own scalp healed and her hair began growing as it never had before she became a walking advertisement for product she was making in her own home.

Eventually she was selling her product door to door.

In 1906 she married Charles Joseph Walker and Ms. C J Walker was born. Mr. Walker would help her with advertising the business. They would travel door to door together, selling her products and demonstrating the products. They would eventually divorce when Madam Walker wanted to expand the business and Mr. Walker did not.

Madam Walker would eventually open a beauty school and then a factory. She hired black women to be "Walker Agents." Forty to fifty years after slavery, there were few job opportunities for black women other than that of domestic, with a few lucky women able to become teachers and nurses. But thousands of black women gained economic independence working for Madam C J Walker.

As her company grew, she encouraged the black women that worked for her to stand for racial equality and the equality of women.  She wanted her Walker Agents to show themselves not just as professionals but as people who give back to the community. During her 1917 Convention for Walker Agents, Madam Walker gave prizes to women that sold the most product and got the most clients but also to women who gave the most to charity.

At their Beauty Salons the walker agents would talk to clients about what black women could do to help their churches, their schools in their communities. (I'm reading a book right now that talks black women like these making the black church strong enough, connected to one another enough to make it good base for The Modern Civil Rights Movement a few decades later)

By 1910 The Walker Company had employed some 5000 black female agents around the world, and averaged revenues of about $1000 dollars a day, seven days a week...Upon her death in 1919, her will stipulated that two-thirds of her fortune go to various charities and that her company always be controlled by a woman

~When and Where I Enter: The Impact of Black Women on Race and Sex in America

Contributor to the Black Women's Club Movement, Madam Walker was also a part of black suffrage and also the anti-lynching movement. She was a signer on the letter to President Woodrow Wilson, demanding that he make lynching a federal crime. She seems to have counted Ida B Wells, the original anti-lynching activist, as a friend and also contributed money to the NAACP's anti-lynching campaign.

She became famous nationwide when she contributed $1000 to the building fund of a YMCA for young black boys.  And it sounds like she may have built something in Indianapolis that sounds like one of the first malls, the Madam Walker Theater Center....

Is Tillerson's Decision On Child Soldiers Yet More Evidence Of Trump's White Supremacist Inclinations?

 DOES REX TILLERSON SUPPORT USING CHILD SOLDIERS? SECRETARY OF STATE ACCUSED OF VIOLATING FEDERAL LAW

Secretary of State Rex Tillerson has been accused by about a dozen members of his department of breaching a federal law aimed at preventing foreign militaries from enlisting child soldiers. The bizarre move by government employees highlights the apparent disarray Tillerson has brought to the department, and is emblematic of the tensions the former Exxon Mobil CEO has faced when dealing with more experienced diplomats under his direction.

Tillerson allegedly violated the Child Soldiers Prevention Act (CSPA) in June, when he decided to exclude Iraq, Myanmar and Afghanistan from a U.S. list of offenders regarding the use of child soldiers, according to a confidential “dissent” memo from July 28 obtained by Reuters...

Documents show that Tillerson’s decision contradicted recommendations from the heads of the State Department’s regional bureaus overseeing embassies in the Middle East and Asia, the U.S. envoy on Afghanistan and Pakistan, the department’s human rights office and its own in-house lawyers, Reuters reported.

Tillerson used to work at Exxon. He hasn't got a nickel's worth of brain cells in this foreign policy dime...unless there's oil in one of these countries that I don't know about.  

If his decision didn't come from reports inside his own department, then some kind of influence came from outside his own department.

Sooo...

Could it be that Tillerson decided 
we should line up with 
countries like Myanmar, a country
**that is an ethnic cleansing machine right now** 
because his boss, the t-RUMP,
only cares about political and financial advantage
over China in this particular situation
and the children in question 
are not-white?

What out for a "those people" are different comment in the future if the White House defends this at all. "Different cultures do things differently" is a coded "those people" put down too.  Nationalistic white supremacists are fairly predictable. And that's who is running the country now.

Born Delloreese Early in 1931 to Richard Early, who was a steel worker, ladies’ man and a gambler and Nellie Mitchelle Early, a Cherokee cook, Della Reese began singing in church in her hometown of Detroit when she was six years old. Her vocal ability quickly attracted the attention of gospel great Mahalia Jackson, who hired Della as a back-up singer, Della was only 13. This early introduction to the world of gospel entertainment set the stage for Della’s own music legacy that has now spanned six decades and includes multiple Grammy Award nominations.

Her mother, Nellie, died in 1949, of a cerebral hemorrhage and after lots of feuds with her father, after her mother’s passing, she moved out of the house, at age 18. She graduated from Cass Technical High School in Detroit, Michigan, in 1947, at only 15 years old to become the first in her family to graduate early. She intended to major in Psychiatry at Wayne State University, but a personal setback ended her plans. As a teenager, she was often chosen as a featured singer on radio. In 1953 she signed a singing contract with Jubilee Records, her first and later went on to sign a recording contract with RCA Records in 1957. She formed a choir in Detroit called The Meditation Singers.

REMEMBERING THE LIFE OF SISTER MARY ANTONIA EBO

Feeling Rebloggy

by Gloria S. Ross

When King called on the nation’s religious leaders to join the 1965 Selma to Montgomery voting rights march, Sister [Mary Antonia] Ebo was a Franciscan Sisters of Mary nun in St. Louis. 

She was aware that hundreds of earlier marchers had been beaten bloody by Alabama state troopers and one, a young, white minister named James Reeb, had died of his injuries. 

But she answered the call.

“If they would beat a white minister to death on the streets of Selma, what are they going to do when I show up?” Sister Ebo told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch in 2015, the 50th anniversary of the march.
An interfaith contingent of 54 from St. Louis arrived in Selma on the morning of March 10, 1965, three days after what became known as “Bloody Sunday.” For safety, their chartered plane landed on a makeshift runway in a farmer's field.

The Archdiocese of St. Louis had originally planned to send only priests, but later agreed to send six nuns as well. One of the six was Sister Ebo... 

Sister Mary Antona Ebo, one of Martin Luther King Jr.’s most reluctant but eventually most powerful converts to the civil rights movement, died [this month.] She was 93.

THE ORDINARY RESPECTABILITY POLITICS OF GABBY DOUGLAS

Two Olympic gymnasts have expressed their disappointment in Gabby Douglas after she suggested that women should dress more conservatively to avoid harassment from [men].

Douglas defended herself against Twitter users who claimed that the Olympic gymnast’s tweet to Raisman was a form of victim-blaming.

“u misunderstood me. not blaming the victim at all. no man should look at any woman that way,” she tweeted to a profile under the Twitter handle @dwtsfishovskiy.

When @dwtsfishovskiy suggested that Douglas call on men to respect women, noting that it’s not women’s responsibilities to avoid being assaulted, Douglas replied: “It goes both ways.”

The problem is not with what Gabby said. The problem, as usual, is what she believes. And same as white folk who make racist statements, we can tell what someone believes when those beliefs come out of their mouths.

Gabby is only 22 years old. In my opinion, she is still young enough to say where you can say that male supremacy based belief of hers is her parents' fault. And her parents have been influenced by the black community at large. 

Black girls and young black women are taught to jump up and defend the oppressor from birth if the oppressor has been identified as "men", and there might be a chance that the oppressor group includes black men. That's why, I have very little problem imaging that Douglas is getting support for this among her family.

In fact, based on Simone Biles saying she's not surprised by Douglas' words, I'd be shocked to learn that her family does not go in for respectability politics when it comes to black men but embraces respectability politics wholeheartedly when it comes to black women. 

That is, I'd be willing to bet that Douglas has been influenced 
by a heavily anti-feminist black community 
that will jump up and down and scream 
if someone suggests a young black man, 
like Trayvon Martin, 
was killed because of the way he was dressed 
WHO WILL ALSO whisper among themselves 
"what did she expect?" 
when a woman is sexually attacked 
should her skirt be deemed too high above the knee 
and her top too low on her chest.

In the black community, respectability politics is A-Okay to apply to black women but not black men.  This reflects that our house is divided. And a house divided against itself cannot stand.

The black community too often either stands against women or refuses to stand up for women  And black female patriarchy is one of the outcomes. Douglas is clearly a suffer.

She's young. So, I have hopes that she will recover. But it won't be easy. I say this because one of the strongest minds this country has produced has less courage than she should.

One of the most disappointing things I've read in the last few years regards Toni Morrison's refusal to identify as a feminist when her writings are so clearly feminist. 

Not only is Morrison highly intelligent, she likely not lacking in information on very many social subjects as a writer, especially not feminism.Therefore she knows feminism is not a "white invention" as touted by black men who want dog-like devotion from black women -- begging for favor, praying to be able to forgive even after being neglected or abused. 

Yet, Morrison has all but said she refuses to identify as a feminist because black women have a hard time with it -- NOT BECAUSE she disagrees with it.

I tried to understand this as being empathetic because this woman's intelligence intimidates me. I've even been so lacking in generosity and grace as to wonder if she simply doesn't want to negatively impact her book sales. But now that I've thought about it --for months now-- I think it is as simple as her deciding to be a follower instead of a leader.

If male supremacy in the black community to bend someone like Toni Morrison, what chance do young women like Gabby Douglas really have to get her mind right?

This isn't just about healing black women either. 

The thing that Gabby Douglas and whoever raised her do not understand is that they are calling all men, including black men, animals who cannot control themselves when she says a woman has to dress in a respectable way in order to not be attacked. Once you believe this, it's easier to believe there's an excuse for the behavior of Bill Cosby, Harvey Weinstein, and R. Kelly, and Brett Ratner

And once you provide excuses like "It goes both ways" then you're working to keep predators among us 

Let me be clear, I am fairly conservative when it comes to how people (not just women) dress. However, it's obvious that to me that its a good thing for women to be a lot freer than they have been in all ways, including clothing choices. 

I think men have no say about appropriate dress except when it comes to their own children, female and male.

But it worries me that there's no longer much discussion among feminist women about how women, as a group, might seek objectification and the male gaze through clothing. It's clear to me that young women, even feminists, are stunted mentally and emotionally when all they can think about is how attractive and sexy they are.

I seek beauty everywhere. I like making myself pretty, make-up, adding color to my face to my house to my workspace. I like feeling sexy and free. I think I am a very common woman in this way.    

But men have said being decorative and attractive is our only value as women. And we have a group identity as women the same as we have  group identity as black people. When white influence is too much black people discuss it. 

Similarly, when male influence is too much we need to be to discuss that too. But even feminists are afraid to do this.

 To me, how a woman dresses and the subject of sexual objectification and self sexual-objectification is not related at all to a man's right to touch a woman.  If a woman walks down the street butt-naked, that doesn't give a man the right to touch her.

Men need to learn to keep their hands to themselves. 

All of us learn this lesson in kindergarten. Men need to remind themselves. And cops need to re-learn to keep their hands to themselves too. Cops should have no right to touch anyone until they are at the point that they decide they have probable cause for frisking someone or are about to make an arrest.

Most black men already understand this about cops. That means they have a leg up on white men as far as being able to understand this in regards to never touching a black woman uninvited no matter how she's dressed. 

As men are the source of patriarchy, if the black male patriarchy infection rate goes down then black female patriarchy infection rate goes down. And if patriarchy levels are decreased, the black house is less divided against itself.

Maybe Gabby Douglas is saved in the process.

We learn a lot of the basics about a successful life in kindergarten. But some things become clearer as we become adults in a world saturated with white supremacy and male supremacy. And one of those adult lessons centers on what bell hooks said,

Feminism is for everybody.

BLACK INCOMES OUTPACE THE NATIONAL AVERAGE FOR ALL RACES IN 124 BLACK MAJORITY CITIES

THE DATA IS FROM 2015
Half the towns are in Maryland

Feeling Rebloggy 

Economic prosperity and opportunity for growth exist in many small cities that happen to be majority-black. Some of these cities have elements that should draw families considering new places to live and business owners looking to relocate or set up shop. 

High incomes are proxies for decent job opportunities, good schools, and safe living environments.

A national map of majority-black cities, ranked by median household incomes of black families, shows that 124 communities outpace the national median household income for all races ($53,889), according to data from the 2015 American Community Survey. Black families are especially thriving in various city/suburbs in the state of Maryland, which hosts more than half of the top 124 majority-black cities in a ranking prepared by the Brookings Metro program.

All majority-black places with black median incomes higher than the national average have populations under 100,000 people; the largest being Waldorf, Md. (pop. 71,399) with a median income of $81,592. The smallest place on the list, Highland Beach, Md. (pop. 110) has the highest median black household income at $158,750...

Findings from this stage of analysis suggest that there are current places and institutions, many of which are commonly overlooked, that should be a more integral part of future investment strategies.
