Hair - a touchy subject these days

As an acolyte, one might call me, of Conservative alt-right(?) pundit extraordinaire Steve Sailer, a good many of our posts still start with his ideas. The subject of black women's hair, World War Hair by his running theme, is something Mr. Sailer holds dear. It's one of his subjects we'll discuss today.

I'm sure Mr. Sailer doesn't really care about the specific twists and curls of this non-touchy subject - Don't you dare! - of the hair itself, but it's the whole Regime Media treatment of it, pun not intended but greatly welcomed!, that he's written much about. He reads the New York Times, see... so we don't have to. This sounds like a ridiculously niche topic for him, less interesting than even golf course architecture to "some" of us. We don't complain - Peak Stupidity, after all, has presented more than a handful of posts about exercise machine console energy and power calculations - I! GET! IT! - NOBODY CARES!

There's more to what Mr. Sailer writes about however, on this subject, than just the hair styles. He notices that the media promotes this subject that nobody but the subjects themselves care about, in order to explain the bigger picture.

I'm not sure if every reader here would get the slight facetiousness in our recent post Jet Bridge Carol. The poster, shown again here, is revisionist, in that the woman's hairstyle hearkens to 1970's Bob Newhart Show's Carol the receptionist. However, if anyone is appropriating anyone else's "bit", it'd be White Carol having the Afro that most Afro-Americans* had. Actress Marcia Wallace could have had hair that was best worn that way. I don't know, I don't care. She was the smart-assed funny receptionist, is all.



I have no idea how many machines and different gels it takes to look like this, but it's a pretty nice look.

I really have not paid attention to black women's hair my whole life. There was one cutie from the Islands, possibly significantly White, who I liked. She had fairly straight, flowing hair, but the situation didn't get close to my having a reason to touch it, much less care how she took care of it. Not my job. As I read a few of Steve Sailer's and commenters' discussions of the matter, I realized that I hadn't even known what a weave is, what these woman do with their hair, and how much trouble and expense is involved. I mean, I'd seen thousands of these hairstyles, but I had no reason to care what was going on there. We men look at other parts first, and if they don't do it, the rest is just a blur.

Mr. Sailer's big point is that it's either a WHOLE LOT of trouble and expense or plain impossible for black women to make their hair like, say, this:

Why is it always "Marsha, Marsha, Marsha?!" - Big Mike Øb☭ma



Unless they are nearly White, black women can never make their hair look like Marsha Brady did. I am partial to straight hair on women but also greatly appreciate the Farrah Faucetts, Christy Brinklies and the like, to go back to the same era, as White women can do all sorts of beautiful things with it.

Jennifer Anniston, beautiful haired White woman from 2 decades later:



Actually, she had much longer nicer hair other times, but this picture stood out for some reason.


Slewing forward 2 1/2 more decades, to around 2020, we noticed this masked young lady from a woman's site teaching us "The Riskiest Places for Catching Coronavirus Revealed". It would have been well worth it...



If you can tell she's cute even with that Kung-Flu mask on, she's PRETTY, indeed.


I'm not really partial to blondes either, if that makes a difference to any sensitive black women readers, though somehow all examples here are blondes. (They not only have more fun, but they get in more PS file photos.). Whether it's straight, parted in the middle, flowing with curls that do take some effort too, black women are obviously jealous of how much men like this hair. Black women just can't DO THIS with their hair. It also doesn't help when you have a women-of-Wal-Mart body style either.

That's the big point. Mr. Sailer does not rant against the scourge of Feminism as we do here for a damn good reason. However, he understands the ill effects of women in positions, such as "journalism", in which their mode of "thinking", if one could call it that, does not work for us in a well-run society. His Sailer's Law of Female Journalism is a classic:
The most heartfelt articles by female journalists tend to be demands that social values be overturned in order that, Come the Revolution, the journalist herself will be considered hotter-looking.
Yes, it's funny cause it's true. Jealousy for men's attention and lust is very important, and you can't fool Mother Nature ... with the compound silicone providing somewhat of an exception. So, black women have it tough - there's no getting around that.

I've meant to write this post for nearly a month, so in the meantime, not only did I run into this ZeroHedge article - Pennsylvania Governor Signs Law Banning "Hair Discrimination", but Mr. Sailer published another "World War Hair" article on his substack site (unfortunately paywalled) - . I oughta briefly discuss them both.

The CROWN Act! Ha, I say we require hats be worn by men at all time, except during sleep time. Some of us men might appreciate that. Or forget hair styles completely, like in the Iron-Rice-Bowl-Hair world of Mao's China. As for women, ZH excerpts Governor Shapiro, working with bill sponsor U.S. Rep. La'Tasha D. Mayes who exclaims in bold:
"Real freedom means being respected for who you are - no matter what you look like, where you come from, who you love, or who you pray to...For too long, many Pennsylvanians have faced discrimination simply for hairstyles that reflect their identity and culture - that ends today..."
Yes, it surely will end once the law is passed. Now, I can't see the powerpoint - down in front!

This La'Tasha is a woman. Have you ever noticed that they don't always say what they mean. You think it's this one thing you did wrong, but a month later, you find out that was not what she was mad about at all!
“This is going to help people by making sure that, wherever you work, or wherever you're applying for a job, they can't look at your hair and size you up - not based on your qualifications and all of the professional development you have and all of your education,” said PA House Speaker Joanna McClinton. “They will not look at your hair and decide you can't work here. They will not look at your hair and decide you don't belong in this C-suite. They will not look at your hair and say, ‘you can't be in the boardroom.’”

"Hair discrimination has taken confidence from our children, but that ends today," Mayes said. "Hair discrimination has taken dignity from workers, but that ends today. It has taken access to economic opportunities, hopes and dreams, but that begins to end today."
No, it's not about the workplace and professional development, La'Tundra. You want more men to look at you, and if it takes a law to (somehow) make that happen, so let it be written, so let it be done! THIS! MARSHA! BRADY! JENNIFER! ANNISTON! CUTE! FLU-MANCHU! GIRL! SHIT! ENDS! NOW!

Mr. Sailer got back to this niche but illustrative subject of his after reading yet another New York Times article. He wrote Michelle Obama Declares World War Hair, subtitled Are white people really to blame for why Michelle gets her hair straightened? What I could read from that post were well under a thousand words, but they say a picture is worth a thousand words, so here:

Remember, neither of these two were ever elected to office:



That's not to say it wouldn't be an interesting thought-election, Big Mike v Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho.

What can you say to them? We're sorry, but you can't compete with White girls when it comes to hair? It's the truth, as much as they try. Would it not be better if they went back to the more natural easier-to-maintain "Afro" or something such as Jet Bridge Carol's style? I don't find short hair of any kind less pretty than the crazy braided-up weave get-ups either.

Men of other races too surely like the beautiful hair of the Marsha/Jennifer/File-photo-chick types too. Can black men settle for the natural black women, so women will generally be happier? Would one need to ask these question were it 1955 outside?

Well, here's an extreme example:



She seems to like it. We don't go to the movies much anymore, so what's the problem?

Just for the record, though one may bitch about things that can't be changed, it's not like some White hair styles don't require a lot of time and money too. I was witness to a 4 hour long hair highlighting operation one day. If the girl doing it wasn't her sister, that would have cost a pretty penny. (I don't even like that highlighting bit...)

Here's the deal: Pundit Steve Sailer's discussion about black women's hair troubles is not so much out of concern for these poor, jealous ladies, although he's more concerned than I am. He's been relating the big picture, which is that women's personal problems have become causes for political change. That's not the way you run a society.

That wasn't the deal back in the days of America, the band too, I mean. Sister Golden Hair, from the Hearts album, is from right at half-century ago America, and America.

America were:
Gerry Beckley – lead and backing vocals, keyboards, guitars, bass, harmonica.
Dewey Bunnell – lead and backing vocals, guitars, percussion,
Dan Peek – lead and backing vocals, guitars, bass, keyboards, harmonica.



... near the end of this song's long ending, I still hear "... and, we've got a winner!" This song was on for me one of the first times I ever heard pop music on the radio. The DJ talked over the ending, explaining that there had been a number 10 dialer, who won a record or something.


PS: Now, this was just uncanny! Just a day before writing this post, as I'd picked out the big-Afro picture already, I ended up on an escalator behind a woman with hair right about that size, bigger than I'd ever seen in real life before. I was about 1 foot behind her. This is the weird part - contrary to all Steve Sailer/commenters/MY writing before, I DID want to touch it! I couldn't tell, but wanted to know, how much of it was part of her Eskimo-style coat and how much was hair. Far out, man!


* Look, that was just their preferred term at the time - I don't pick them!

PS: That's a nice tune I hadn't heard in a while, Tarheel. Thanks for these lyrics that fit in with the theme of this post.
