I rarely see Muta's natural hair. People can do what ever they want. This man is always talking and no action. He has made money talking about the demise of black people but what has he done to change or uplift black people. People like Muta and Dr Umar Johnson are docile and useless. always lip service lip service. Also, i wear my natural hair all the time and i see more and more black women wearing their natural hair but still our communities have a lot of illiterate, ignorant, violent, critical people. Our economies are still trash and no one wants to live in them. He should ask why black men are so violent and tell us solutions to fx our economies and have family structures etc

He is absolutely correct. My take on it is, men seem to be drawn to the women that wear the extensions. I remember a woman told me that her husband never wanted her to wear make up, she found out he was having an affair and the side woman was covered in make up. The ladies on Instagram that get the most attention seem to have the extensions.

I understand Muta's point, however, many black women are proud of their natural hair but still wear braids. In a lot of cases it is just a fashion thing. In other cases, women wear braids as a protective style. It takes less frequent maintenance than keeping hair natural. As black men we have to understand that our women face a lot of external pressures as it pertains to beauty and feeling a need to adhere to european concepts of beauty. Sometimes we as black men just need to give our women some more encouragement and reassurance that for us they are always beautiful. We should also have some more confidence in black women because more often than not they make the right decisions. I am not worried about hair and fashion so long as there are still black women alive that are as loving, strong, courageous and loyal as most of those whom I have encountered all of my life.

OMG I love when Mutabaruka PREACHES!!!! I use to wear weaves many many many years ago...even though my own hair was long, thick and healthy. I also had breast implants. Why? Because in my 20s I had no sense of self and no self esteem and no knowledge of my ancestry. I evolved and grew and everything came off. I had the implants removed and ditched the weaves...never wore the unhygienic hawk nails and still don't. The 45 year old me wish that I could go back and have a talk with the 25 year old me. We black women are constantly being bombarded by media telling us that we are not beautiful in our natural form...and so many believe it. Then we have black men over-looking black women to partner with and marry white/non-black women....another attack on the self esteemnof black women. Fortunately some of us, like myself, will find their way back to being their authentic selves. I find that I and other natural black women are complimented and desired by white and non-black men BUT are overlooked and/or critised for our natural beauty by black men. Unfortunately the media AND black men are the worse critiques and enemies of the natural black woman. So many black women are now suffering from weave and wig imposed alopecia.

As for black US culture pertaining to the wigs/weaves/extensions, they were worn for assimilation purposes. Black Women/girls have been denied employment and have been kicked out of school for “unprofessional” and “distracting” hair styles. European features are celebrated in the US, Afrocentric features not so much. To answer this guy as to why? 1) other than BW looking bomb doing whatever hairstyle they please, I know when I’m doing my hair it’s for me, and not to impress others. Whether it’s a protective style or if I just want some variety. I know I can’t be the only one. 2) the aftermath of white supremacy still lingers on til this day.

Well said my brother, we are no longer the trendsetters. Self hate. It’s the same thing going on in Africa

I started my locs in 2020, before that I consistently wore wigs. It was NEVER about looking like anything but myself. It wasnt about looking sexy, it wasnt about attracting a man. I suffer from seborrheic dermatitis, which can be super embarassing during certain times of the year with people constant staring at my hair line. I had to learn how to accept my skin condition and to better mangage it. The issue is assuming that every woman wears wigs to LOOK like something else, when even Ancient Africans wore wigs for reasons other than to look like anything other than what they were. They used wigs to protect their heads, they used it to display royalty or class as well as for beautification. The wealthier groups used human hair, and the lower classes used animal hairs for wigs. Lastly to add discrimination in the U.S. in the work place against our natural texture, saying it is unruly, doesnt fit the aesthetics of certain jobs, including locs, afros and braids are an additional reason. When laws are passed to protect us from job loss, and our community still sees black women wearing hair extensions, then would be a more appropriate time to ask why women in the African diaspora are wearing hair extensions. And any black woman cosigning the idea that it is a lack of love for self, lacks the capacity to see from various angles, objectivity & critical thinking skills concerning our community and the history of our hair. Our hair is not monolithic, different people have different reasons. I dont see my self as better because I now have locs and look to shine the light on myself because I no longer wear hair extensions. As a retired hair stylist I had black women as clients with hair down their back who wore wigs. Until I hear another black woman says she hates her own hair, I see her matching any of the above reasons, not just for aesthetics for men or self-hatred. The same goes for physical cosmetic surgery, different strokes for different folks.

They are having an identity crisis and are in complete denial. I have always been an advocate for natural beauty and this will never change.

Same. Whenever I call out the weaves, black women are very angry with me and start throwing insults and name calling like children. It's like a spell they are under, and other black women cheer them on. It's sad. Don't think it's changing. Black people are lost.

Thank you my Elder. A prominent Dr. from my country once lectured my classmates in high school about this obsession for weaves. Not only did he mention that African women (including those in the US) consume billions of dollars annually on artificial hair or hair from others like Brazilians and Indians. Money isn't the issue for me, but the fact that we are actively undermining our identity as Africans by trying to imitate the Caucasians. I hope one day we will transcend to a higher level of consciousness and move out of Babylon to becoming the great nation we are supposed to be!

You speak truth. I have been trying to empower black women to love and appreciate their natural hair but many complain that their hair is hard to manage. Hey, hard to manage compared to siting at a hair stylists for hours?!!!Come on. I will continue to make my natural hair videos. I will continue to go makeup free. I am beautifully and wonderfully made.

The Elder is of course, right and correct about that. Great video.

I'm cheap and it costs too much. I was natural before it was trendy. I do realize that this is taught. When I lived in the city all the girls started wearing weaves at like 10 years old. When I moved to the suburbs they didn't wear weaves as much but were obsessed with straightened hair. My mom wouldn't let me get relaxers because when she was young she had one and her hair fell out. I wasn't allowed to get a relaxer until I was like 16 (11th grade) by that time I didn't care about it anymore. I had already endured the ridicule. Now I have locs and these suit me just fine.

@@deneilwilliams4380 my thing is that I don’t have the interest to focus on what other people do with there life because in the end emotion will overshadow the value of what is being said to a person. The reality is the conditioning is beyond that of what you can say to a soul who doesn’t know they’re a soul in a consciousness. May be hard to understand, but if you’ve actually been a person who’ve expressed your perspective on an issue such as this to an unknowing person…… you’d know that it’s like shouting in the desert when your perspective wasn’t asked for. If you’ve had the experience of speaking in conversations with people expressing your opinion that makes them self conscious about their lack of understanding or programming to a certain train of thought, especially to a being who is more emotionally based…. the response will quickly evolve to an assumption of why you are saying what you’re saying or an accumulation of hate will form. That also goes to fellow men as well. I’ve tried telling people who were in gangs, dealing, or drug using the crippling effect it’s doing to themselves and their community, but as all it turns into “that n*** thinks he’s better than me.” Soon it turns into you becoming the image of bougie resemblance or in the process of some…. you become a false image of a messiah or leader. Without voicing it, you become a lot of people’s enemy and the search to destroy you becomes the focus to compensate for that feeling of self inadequacy. My job isn’t to save my people by shouting in the desert. My mission is to be the merchant on the camel that provides water to the person who asks for assistance. That is the difference. Raising the future of my seeds is the only time I’ll speak with the purpose of educating without request. In truth, the changing of the mindset from a broader lens into societal restructuring is in the kids…. Not the ones who’ve already been conditioned by the teachings of Rome or Babylon. Whether you believe in the teachings of Yah or not, there’s an interesting passage about Yahweh waiting for the generations of hebrews from Egypt to die before he allowed them to enter the promise land. Focusing on only allowing their children to enter the land of promise. That is telling about future placement. Even in what we see today. “The young is the future or the youth are the ones who will be the revolutionists.” From the Black Panthers breakfast program to the focusing on educating children in parenthood and school education systems, it is known that these are the ones who will listen with open ears and affect the future. If I am to assistance as well, I have to be conscious of the nail in my own eye or no mankind will ever take me serious and that’s why a lot of people’s words will fall on deaf ears.

Poor excuse

This is easy. Many, not all, black men in America want black women to have straight hair. To appease their men, black women buy and wear wigs and weaves. I have worn my natural hair for the last 12 years. I have been on dates with black men who want to know if I straighten my hair, will I straighten my hair, what am I mixed with. White men on the other hand LOVE my natural hair. They are fascinated that I wear it in so many styles. They absolutely love touching it and playing in it. White women with long straight hair is the beauty standard to many, not all, black men in America. Many black women have worn wigs and weaves for so long, they no longer have a choice, they must wear wigs and weaves.

Cho! Longtime. Respect Muta👊🏿

You are spot on, my brother. You have unlearned the Anglo-Saxon teaching, so have I. Keep up the good works. One day you must interview me. Much admiration.

Up Deh Muta . . . I appreciate your tenets here. This is the way.

Black women let us be honest. While there are many of us in the diaspora and maybe Africa who sport their natural styles like braids, dreadlocks, cane rows etc there are the group of Black/African women who would not be caught dead with their natural hair exposed. We are ashamed of our hair to a degree where we have allowed a man to grade our hair texture from a to c. No other race or mixture of people does such madness. We are all African descendants with woolly hair it therefore matters not (in my humble opinion) about the grade or texture save only to encourage more "elitism" among us. Some of us especially African Americans spend a fortune on wigs and weaves harvested from the scalps of lice infested heads yet we rush to purchase these Brazilian or Indian hair. I am in my senior years and not saying that I never permed, dyed, wore wigs or weaves but for the past 10 years i have worn my natural Afro hair. It is so freeing, cool (I live in the tropics) and wash and wear. I do not care who has a problem with me as a proud descendant of Africa, I will never wear false hair belonging to another race again or damage my natural curl pattern by using chemicals. Finally, I do not understand how black/African women say "they cannot manage" their own hair growing from their own heads? What was your mother doing with you as a young girl growing up? Unbelievable.

Some of these points are valid. But why are we advocating respecting a black woman based on her appearance? She should be respected regardless of her superficial choices. Perhaps the conversation should start with the necessity of commitment, support and care towards black women and children. Start with that and the self acceptance will come.

Great points he makes. Self love is very much key. However, sometimes it really is not as deep as people try to make it. Sometimes it is simply about TIME, LESS MANIPULATION OF THE HAIR, EXTREME SHRINKAGE AND MOISTURE RETENTION, OUR HAIR IS A WHOLE GALAXY AND IS BEAUTIFULLY UNIQUE. NOT EVERYONE KNOWS HOW TO CARE FOR IT. For the most part our hair does not hold moisture well so we wear protective styles and take care of it underneath our wig, weave, braids for those aforementioned reasons and for diversity of look depending on how we feel without damaging our own hair. I suggest men look inwardly more, not every woman wants the permanent style of locs. Not every woman has free flowing curls or wavy hair. The next time you see a woman with an afro, short twists, short natural cut, Bantu knots, twist out, or NATURAL style you like--COMPLIMENT HER, speak on it. This love for weaves did not come from the sky, many black men, unfortunately, not all, are attracted to European forms of beauty, tell the truth and shame the devil. Again, great points made and more self confident is needed all around as some of us are altering our entire bodies and bleaching our skin light due to COMPARISON and self loathing.
