Texas Pastor Bans WEAVES from his Church!

NO WEAVES

Folks hear me and hear me very well.I have nothing against artificial hair rather synthetic hair and I have no problem with women wearing hair weaves. However I do have a problem with people who have a mentality of thinking that natural hair is a fad. Anyway lately there's been a  hot controversial topic roaming around on social media and american news about a Pastor who banned weaves from his church, meaning that women from his church are no longer allowed to come to church if they have weaves on. So You may be wondering why I had to blog about such a topic and something that is not even happening around our territory but in a way I had to since my blog is related to hair and this topic got me flabbergasted, isn't it?

Co founder of Waco Resurrecting Faith, Pastor J.A Aamir 39 years of age made controversy recently in Texas,Waco www.hiphopwired.com Apparently Pastor Aamir felt that he had to ban weaves from his congregation because of certain reasons like women who are struggling to pay their bills but manage to get weaves that cost $300 to $900 and when converting that to South African rands it really costs a lot Yoh and this saga really made a lot of black woman angry and furious as well. His words were: ''Our black women are getting weaves trying to be something and someone they not. Be real with yourself is all I'm saying. Long hair don't care. What kind of mess is that? I don't want my members so focused on what's on their heads and not in their heads.'' he spoke on AmericanPreachers.com

Folks this really got me thinking, Why would a pastor do that to his people and anyway is it about preaching the gospel or telling people what to do and not what to do Mhmm do you think he has some kind of level of intelligence LOL what are your views on this topic? You Can leave your comments, so keen to know what you think.

How the media portray black women

MEDIA IS SO INFLUENTIAL

Mass media portray powerful forces that have the unique abilities to influence individuals in many different ways. Over the years we've seen how the media has converted the picture of how black people no longer embrace the beauty of their real natural hair instead they embrace the western culture hairdos especially women. from your weaves, braids, colour-treated hair etc. And how the media emphasised the fact that black women continue to fear adorning natural hair and that weaves raised the black bar beauty even higher to hair that is not just straight but long too. Celebrities like Nicki Minaj and Rihanna have been emphasised or pointed out in the media to typically show how the black community is ashamed of its originality and turn to wanting to be white people because of the qualities white people have or white women have: For example long hair.

These are the media effects and black hair politics.While advertisements influence black women's hairstyles and the perception of what constitutes beautiful black hair and what is considered to be beautiful. But I believe that when it comes to hair, all women can relate whether White, Black or Asian. We all agonise over how to wear it and while time changes everything,  people also change and are exposed to new things which will definitely be tried out. There are also celebrities who still go natural like Erykah Badu www.erykahbadu.com but she's not portrayed as much as the other celebrities. This states that the media shows what people want to see, how it has powerful tie establishments and how untrustworthy it is. So at the end of the day it's not about the black community trying to be ''something'' it's not but it's about what we like, getting on with the programme and expressing beauty in our own unique ways.
