<p>:cool: hell yeah!</p>
<p>are you/your parents from a particular African country?</p>
<p>Nope. Well at some point lol yes, but I'm a slave trade descendant :)</p>
<p>My great-great (+ a bunch of greats) uncle was a slave. I think his master let him go or something. lol.</p>
<p>I'd have to dig to find the story. I'm 1/8 native american as well. :) I love culture and heritage. It's so nice to talk to someone who's not white for a change (not that I don't love them lol, but my school has like 2% minorities :p)</p>
<p>Well, me too, in a way. My school is mostly asian. The next ethincity is Latino. African-Americans and whites are the minorites! lol. (how ironic).</p>
<p>My school is very, very, very white. Sometimes my friends just don't understand some things that come with being of a different ethnicity (like hair is a different texture, etc)</p>
<p>I Know!!!!!!!! (hair texture comment)</p>
<p>Sometimes they'll say to me: why don't to do ________ with your hair.
And I'll respond: well, my hair gets thick, bushy, and other stuff so i can't do that with my hair, etc.</p>
<p>It's weird, because it's the simple things that make things apparent. Like the hair. It's such a small thing, but my hair is never going to be silky and flip over my head perfectly unless I get a weave lol!</p>
<p>Precisely.</p>
<p>definitely.....i know exactly what you guys mean
ahhaha lol :)</p>
<p>My friends are all either asian or white. They don't understand why I hate my hair somedays. Somedays I feel like it's just too rebellious for its own good lol! I want a boy who understands these things!</p>
<p>i understand.....i do hahhah lol :)</p>
<p>Celebrian: Lol me too (boy comment). Rebellious? My hair needs to be in braids to be tamed! lol.</p>
<p>BestMiler: uh huh (sacarstic tone).</p>
<p>oh man my momma will have my head if she finds out i'm still up lol! Talking to you has been SO much fun bookfreak...seriously, it's so nice to just talk about these things and not get odd stares. :p</p>
<p>i do understand..my hair is to smooth and silky.....i need to EXTRA STRENGH gel to spike it up lol :)</p>
<p><sarcasm> I hate it when my hair gets too soft and silky! </sarcasm></p>
