Just
recently there was a petition on change.org requesting for Jay Z and Beyonce to
comb the hair of their 2-year old daughter, Blue Ivy Carter.
Well, the 'i am not my hair' singer, India Arie has penned an open letter to her critics.
Read
it below:
My
thoughts on Blue Ivy’s Hair.
Why
does ANYone get the idea that its ok to make fun of a child? In public no less?
The
celebrity culture that hypnotizes people into thinking a person is LITERALLY NOT REAL because you see them on television is a spell that 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 protects the heart 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, of Hair pulled too tight
at the edges.
Being
gentle with a child’s hair is simple appropriate – this goes the same for ALL
children.
Come
ya’ll Lol
We’re
ARE better than this
India.
Beyonce is probably with Blue Ivy Carter doing this right
now, ignoring all the buzz.
I think she is right, the petition was just a waste of time and energy but I heard Jay Z and Beyonce has since comb the girl's hair though am guessing it had nothing to do with the petition.
