So today on Instagram I commented on my friends post saying her hair looks amazing. She just had it done by her sister, its beautiful with beads and intricate braids with differnt designs, obviously took a lot of time to do and totally worth it, its gorgeous! Well this person I dont know replied to me saying that white people shouldn't talk about black womens hair. My friend then replied and told her to shut up and then blocked her. So while my friend is totally okay with it I'm wondering if others think that its inappropriate for a non black person to tell a black person their hair looks pretty or good. I can understand that it would be frustrating for strangers to try and touch your hair, as well as the racism and stigma that has been tied to black womens natural hair and protective styles, so I do see how it could be possibly triggering. I am just curious if others see that it's something that could be rude or inappropriate to say. Any other input especially from women of color would be appreciated!
