What I really don't like are those advertisements where Troy Palomalu's hair is part of some discussion as if it's interesting.
I mean, okay, so some dude with curly hair grew it long. So what? Does his hair really matter?
Personally I think his hairstyle is stupid and he would look MUCH better with a nice crew cut, but it's up to him. I don't even think it's his fault that idiotic, racist hair fetishists like to ooh and aaah at some dumbassed hairstyle on a GUY.
This brings me to another thing. Non Black people sometimes have this curiosity about African hairstyles, and sometimes you'll even see young White girls wearing their hair in cornrows or even (yuck) DREADS as part of some style thing they've got going, but it's almost invariably a phase.
It reminds me of a friend of mine who wore dreads in college and smoked pot, but now she's thanking her lucky stars that she can just grow her hair out normally and have nice, White woman hair.
White people can play "Oh I LOVE your hair!" all they want, but you can bet your life that given the choice, they'd rather keep their own hair unless they're bald or something, because with non-Black people, you can play hair tourist all you want and get that crap out of your system. With Black people, they're stuck with their nasty ass hair their whole lives, which is why the FIRST thing Black chicks do when they have money is get lighter extensions so that they can emulate pretty White ladies (while still acting hood, of course).
Same thing with the pretty White women who ooh and aaah about how "beautiful" Michelle Obama is. Really, honey? You want to look like her? If whatever God your recognize, or some magic power came down and said, "I can make you look like Michelle Obama, or you can just look like yourself," 100% of healthy White women of similar age and body composition will choose NOT to look like Obama's wife.
Oh, yeah, lest I forget, back to Polamalu. I don't think he's that good a player, and his hair makes him look really, REALLY gay.
