'You Can Touch My Hair' documentary digs deep into African-American roots


Forget about missing out on Banksy's art sale, I wish I was in Union Square Park to get a feel of Model
Maliha Ahmad's hair. She is beautiful with a charming smile.

Next film project will be "You can Touch my penis" documentary for Asian men.

And then "You can Touch my sisters and cousins" documentary for rednecks.

That woman is not African American. She is African/mixed race, but certainly has no ties to the U.S.

Oh dear lord they're going to make this *ish a freaking film??!!!

These dumb broads did this last year and it caused an uproar on a lot of urban blogs.

I can't even IMAGINE, even in my worst nightmares putting up a sign in a public park frequented by other nationalities to touch my damn hair.

My point is, people shouldn't use the term "African American" to describe people who are clearly NOT African American. Contrary to popular belief, we do not all look a like. The women in the article are clearly mixed race/African, they are not tied to the black experience in America.

I'll add that given the history of black Americans in the U.S., black American women would not willfully smile while whites (and other groups) walked by petting their heads. Therefore, before I even clicked on the link, I knew that the women in question were not black American. I also knew that the women in question have no knowledge of the racial history of the U.S., otherwise, they wouldn't be engaged in such pathological behavior.

True dat. True. *nods head in agreement*

But I also believe some changed their AA names to sound less "AA", if you get my meaning.

Nothing in that article states these women's national origins. So you cannot say that are clearly not African American. A person tied to the Black experience in America and who identifies as African American can indeed be mixed race as well.

I don't agree. I looked at all of those women in the picture and they are all mixed race, besides the dark one who looks like both of her parent's are from Africa.

The mixed race women probably have an African father (hence their last names) and a white European mother.
