I struggled with deciding whether to even report this news, but I decided to simply because I'm utterly shocked by the fact that folks still feel the need to attack the state of a toddler's hair. Just when I thought the negative commentary surrounding Blue Ivy's head of kinks and curls was officially deemed rude and unnecessary, I was hit with a new wave of ignorance.
A new photo of Beyoncé and Jay Z's
daughter was released this weekend prompted many, to swoon
over the two-year-old's high level of
cuteness.
However, there were others largely from the black community who
cringed at Blue's natural tresses.
One of those critics is Jasmine Toliver, who created the Change.org petition entitled
"Comb Her Hair." The petition reads:
As a woman who understands the
importance of hair care. It's
disturbing to watch a child suffering
from the lack of hair moisture. The
parents of Blue Ivy. Sean Carter
a.k.a Jay Z and Beyoncé have failed
at numerous attempts of doing Blue Ivy's hair. This matter has escalated to the child developing matted dreads and lint balls. Please let's get the word out to properly care for Blue Ivy hair.
At this point Toliver has only garnered 15 supporters for her misguided cause and hopefully it stops there.
some are even commenting.
“Because no child who’s mom spends thousands on her hair (monthly) should live life looking like a sheep!” says Nancy Kondo , while Annie Campbell says “Cruelty to children has to stop”
Blue Ivy and her
parents shouldn't have to answer to any of these naysayers.
And beyond some serious soul searching, let's just make sure not to tangle Blue Ivy's hair with negativity.
As most people know, Change.org is mostly used to create awareness about more crucial matters like
#BringBackOurGirls, putting an end to rape and violence, as well as saving animals in particular regions.
