*Quote - Now as for what Gabe refered to.... shame Gabe for even considering nappy... very offensive to all african americans because of the slave conotations and predjudice, but it was most likely an oversite. Also Fro is no longer (well while not PC) used, it is called a Natural. o0 I had a Fro in the 60's.... :P
nappy is an adjective in the english language.
kinky natural african hair is nappy. people should be no more offended by the term than if someone calls my hair straight, or my skin pale. its a simple fact.
if you think about it its downright absurd that people are calling someone who spent weeks working on creating an attractive female minority and trying to bring it to the mainstream a racist. ffs its not like i created a golliwog. the fact is some people would complain no matter what i did -- had i released her with a blonde weave youd have people bitching that she wasnt 'black enough'.
you just cant win. after i renamed it 'kinky fro' people started complaining about kinky. at this point i dont even care. if anyone is offended by my terminology they are welcome to not buy the product.
