My thoughts on Blue Ivy’s Hair;

Why does ANYone get the idea that it's ok to make fun of a child? In public no less? This celebrity culture that hypnotizes people into thinking a person is LITERALLY NOT REAL because you see them on television is a spell the watcher HIM or HER SELF MUST BREAK.

Blue Ivy — is a CHILD and ANYONE thinking to themselves right now:

“But she was born with a silver spoon in her mouth so what does it matter what I say”

Denying ANY PERSON their humanity, is a GAME we should ALL stop playing.
WHY? Because it’s the kind of PERSON YOU WANT TO BE. Why NOT be a person who is loving towards human kind as a whole AND people as individuals? WHY NOT be a person that protects the hearts of children?

I think all these people making negative comments would feel the SAME WAY if Blue Ivy’s hair were TOO DONE. If she had a relaxer, or Hair pulled too tight at the edges. Being gentle with a child’s hair is simply appropriate – this goes the same for ALL children.

Come on ya’ll, Lol, we ARE better than this.
