I’ve had my ups and downs with Steve. He has more than enough imperfections on him that a woman wouldn’t find attractive. He can be insensitive all in the name of trying to be funny. Maybe he prefers his women to have relaxed hair or a straight weave. Hopefully the caller didn’t take him too seriously.

I’ve asked that question myself why does our hair have to be fried, dyed and laid to the side? I have seen so many women whose hair has been literally destroyed by chemicals. I see so many split ends, breakage, edges so jacked up that the hairline is back behind the ears. Is that look supposed to be more attractive, professional, and acceptable? I think not.

I listen to Steve Harvey most mornings on the way to work and usually he is funny but in this case Steve was wrong. I expect people of other races to say mean things about our hair but it seems that the biggest critics of natural hair are other black people. It seems like many black people feel like people who wear natural hair are giving a secret away.

I really have a problem with black men who say they don’t like women with natural hair. These men have the same kinks growing from their scalps as the natural women do. When I hear a black man say they don’t like natural hair women, it makes me wonder do they even like black women. I feel like it is code word that they desire women of other races.

I also heard of a silly young rapper named Young Berg who says he only likes women who can pass the pool test. That means women who hair stays straight once it gets wet. I also disliked when another comedian D.L. Hughley agreed with Don Imus when he said the Rutger’s Womens Basketball team were nappy headed h–.

I agree sistas Steve Harvey is arrogantly closed minded & honestly I am not surprised by the comment that he made. Any Black man that has a problem with natural afro textured hair has some underlying problem with himself. The best retaliation is to keep on rockin’ your beautiful natural hair and sistas we are doing it. More and more sistas are returning to their natural state and looking just as lovely as societies version of beauty.

This is quite timely that I stumbled on this post. I happened to flip to his last comedy show and he did a routine on his son and how he wanted locs and how he was so adamantly against it because his son wants to be a lawyer and who in that profession has “that” hair….the smile instantly went off my face. First, because on July 30, 2010 I did the BC in the most major way–shaved it off and secondly, because I AM a lawyer. I can appreciate his “my house, my rules” mantra but for someone who doesnt know the FIRST thing about the legal profession to spew such garbage to his son made my blood boil. If he knew anything, he’d know that PLENTY of black attorneys wear natural hair (hello, every stopped by HU School of Law!?! DUH!) Even in my very own predom white law school alot of black women had natural hair. The message I feel that he should teach his son is “Look, you should wear your hair how YOU see fit. It is an expression of YOU and if an employer doesnt want to hire you because of YOUR hair, do you really want to work there anyway?”

Geez, I cant stand ignorance.

That is not the first time. a few years back jill scott was on his show talking about the time she spent in the mother land filming her hbo show. steve made a comment about how the brothers walk around with uncombed hair,jill said some thing like “brothers here are pleased and happy with what God created, they wash oil and go knowing they are fine. good you did not try to hand any body a comb,they dont play that” I felt like I was not even listening to a black man, I really could not believe it. but now that I see his hair journey I see that thier has been a lot of shame,and it all makes since. I am goning to pray 4 him.

Honestly, I disregard anything Steve Harvey has to say, and Black men like him. Completely useless.
