This is what you get when you make yourself a topic of public
discourse. I wouldn’t be surprised if some attention seeking writers start ripping
from this already settled dust. Beyoncé and Jay Z’s two-year-old daughter Blue
Ivy has been on the news recently more than her peers and R&B Soul Singer
India Arie came on Twitter to share her thought on the issue.
Find what she wrote below
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:
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.
