I was half surprised, half not when I saw this video. Sadly, it didn’t surprise me that the black hair industry is dominated by non-blacks. It’s the extent of the domination that really got me. As one YouTube-r so eloquently put it:
“No one is saying it is the Koreans fault. It is our fault for letting them set up in our neighborhoods and patronizing their businesses. Try setting up a Korean food restaurant owned by African-Americans in a Korean part of town and see how long it stays in business. It will be out of business by lunchtime.”
Even a loving and supportive father couldn’t combat the “good hair” demon…
Can you relate?
After hearing his daughter talk about how she didn’t like her hair Chris Rock had the brilliant idea to make this documentary about black hair and the black hair industry juggernaut.
Always a great topic, this film promises not to disappoint. Check out the trailer below…
