Throwing shade
The ability, nay the insistence folks have on throwing shade befuddles me. Now I’m not going to lie I have been a bit shady myself but I do try to keep it out of public if I have to go there at all. FYI I find going to confession a good tool for self improvement. My priest knows my voice and seriously don’t want to be all “I’m being an intolerant jerk, again” every time I go.
A lady posted a great pic of herself with her hair announcing itself with an unstructured Afro. I shouldn’t read the comments I’ve been internetting enough to know that but I did. A pleasant sunrise was how the vast majority of comments were compliments but there’s always that one. Someone comment that the poster’s skin was glowing which was immediately followed by someone else saying it was makeup and declaring her high confidence which negates her needing to hide behind a mask. Exactly why does one so confident feel the need to diss another woman for her beauty practices?
The next moment of shadyness (probably not a word but it is today) was someone saying the old “you would be so much prettier if” in this case it was if her hair was in a traditional rounded patted even afro. The post was literally about the beauty of her hair as it was. I guess they missed that memo. And of course there was the guy who completely ignored everything only to comment on her cleavage, really dude, really. I wonder if random nice cleave comments have ever worked for getting a woman interested in him. There were also the occasional negative comments about her natural hair, although it shouldn’t it still trips me out that people say this things on sites geared toward natural hair beauty.
At least it wasn’t overrun by haters, that’s an improvement but we still have a ways to go.
