Why are black women accused of wanting to be white just because they straighten their hair?

I ask, because I know so many white people with hair curlier than mine who straighten their hair. I'm not trying to be racist or anything, I just noticed some of these questions people are asking. I personally staighten my hair because I need a change in style sometimes. I usually wear it curly.

Why are black women accused of wanting to be white just because they straighten their hair?

To be 100% honest, the only women I hear accusing black women of "being white" because of straight hair are other black women! Sometimes I feel like black women are harder on each other than anything! I am married to a black man (i'm filipino) and the women in his family constantly accuse each other being "white" because of their hair or the way they talk and dress. What exactly does it mean to be "white?" Have nice, straight hair and nice clothes that don't scream Roca-Wear or Apple Bottoms?

Why are black women accused of wanting to be white just because they straighten their hair?

I don't know why people would feel like that. That's like assuming because Halley Berry cuts her hair short, she wants to be a man... or because a guy gets his tips frosted, he wants to be a girl. People shouldn't be so closed minded. Does a White person who tans their skin so much, they become darker than me hate being white and are trying to be black??? What a person chooses to do styalistically and fashionably shouldn't have anything to do with, them trying to be another race. It's their perrogative.. they may want a change. I get tired of looking at my hair being the same color too long. I change colors like crazy. It's a good question you asked..I don't know why..but I wish people would get God and get a life...and maybe a hair cut..or extensions..or highlights...or...

Why are black women accused of wanting to be white just because they straighten their hair?

I don't know that Black women are accused of wanted to be White for relaxing or straightening their hair. But I do know that some Black women may choose to relax or straighten their hair because they feel that their natural hair texture is bad, and they are in hot pursuit of what some call 'good' hair. And I have heard people try to educate that just because your hair may be nappy (i.e. extremely tight curls) that it does not mean that it is not 'good'. For some, straightening the hair is a form of self denial. But it seems that for you this is not the case. I am Black, and I choose to wear my hair natural, but this does not mean that I think that my comrades who chose to relax or straighten their hair are trying to be White. It is a personal choice for me, and feel that a person's hairstyle is their own personal choice. I applaud this choice, as long as it does not involve one thinking that their natural hair is 'bad.'

Why are black women accused of wanting to be white just because they straighten their hair?

Well I heard that statement so many times from other black women who wears short fros or dreads, saying that were loosing our identify by pressing and perming our hair so we can look like white women. I use to say, you can't wear fros and dreads to black tie affairs, or nice functions. Don't let them get next to you. I was invite to a formal affair and everybody were wearing gowns and tuxedos and the women's hair was done up, I come walking in with dress to impress and a fro and it didn't work.
