I can vouch for what he said about the cult group here because I live here and I see it.
Rick Ross is like the writers of the Bible?

You said RR is a sinner.

So were the Biblical writers, some of them being in sin when they were writing.

Most of Psalms, for instance, was written when David was sinning or had just gotten done sinning. And he kept on sinning.

You discredited RR because he's a sinner, did you not?

Because our hair grows "up and out" instead of down it doesn't get the same reaction as long straight hair. A lot of times the responses to afro textured hair are extremely negative.

Many black women wear wigs, chemically straighten their hair and use weaves in order to achieve a look that will be acceptable to mainstream America. Some women choose relaxers because it makes their super thick hair easier to manage. In most cases its not just a matter of preference. It's a matter of survival. Most jobs won't hire you if your hair looks "unprofessional". That includes but is not limited to: unnatural colors, radical hair cuts and anything deemed as ethnic. Translation for Black women: Get a relaxer. Something is wrong with you. The way God made you isn't good enough. That is where the racism comes in. No one has any control over their DNA or what grows out of their scalp.

People loving long flowing hair is nothing new. I believe that what is in your head is more far important that what is on your head.

I think long hair vs. short hair looking masculine or feminine depends on where you are standing on the globe. Many Samoan men grow their hair down their backs. Trust me. You have NO problem telling that they are men. Many women in Africa wear short natural hair styles. Again you have NO problem telling that they are women. It would be difficult to get that mixed up.

I do see your point. When the attributes of one group are designated as the hallmark of a standard then what are people of other groups supposed to do? They feel alienated. I think that is the reason most black churches don't even go there with the uncut hair. It rings too familiar of the rejection regarding hair issues we deal with in society.
Exactly why I believe Paul was speaking of the custom of the Roman Empire when he spoke to Corinthians about nature teaching them something. Global comment noted. I would add that it may have been that all Chinese men had long hair up until about 100-150 years ago...

Fot those who follow the standard of hair.

Here is a good read that talks about the standard of uncut hair for a woman.

Must read.......
