Regulating black hair another form of racial prejudice

There's something fundamentally wrong about deeming black women's hair in its natural state to be unkempt. It's an apartheid aesthetic that reinforces a long history of institutions regulating bodies in such a way that white bodies are the norm. For hundreds of years black women around the world have been discriminated against because of their skin, hair and culture, while white attributes - including straight hair - were seen as superior.
