Northern Virginia Hair Care Business Overrun By Racist Posts on Its Facebook Page: MyFoxDC.com
I…. could not believe this shit when I saw it. My thoughts and prayers go out to Naturalista Cosmetics. What are your thoughts ladies?
Made and packaged by hand
Food-grade all natural ingredients
Woman-Owned business
This is OUTRAGEOUS! People need to get a life…
Natural hair is NOT effecting their lives negatively so why would they take the time out of their day to effect someone else in that type of manner. This is just sad. Get over it! People have differences, thats how GOD created us. So what. Get over it, move one or embrace it!
I just dont understand where racist find the TIME to be racist…get some business!
This is truly sad. I’ve ordered from Naturalista Cosmetics before and I’ve been pleased with their products. I also like the page, it’s very informative, but when I did see all that racism, it just made me sad that this is still happening in this day and age. But it’s expected, anonimity makes people more daring. I’m glad she’s taking action and I only hope for justice.
This is sad AND scary. I have no doubt that whoever posts such messages harbours only hate in their hearts. It’s an attempt to intimidate and belittle the owner, her customers and supporters. I’m glad she chose to stand up for herself.
Thats Sad…BUT ITS not GONNA STOP US !!!
I find this absolutely disgusting!!….. it’s like when we take one step forward…..things like this try to drag us ten steps back!!!
BUT….we are above them in body and in spirit….people like that are ignorant cowards that do not deserve anything but our pity (and prayers)….
These ppl do not deserve your prayers. We need to wake up and be for real. Things like this don’t make me angry, it only let’s me see that the natural hair movement is bigger than we would like to think. Of course the kkk doesnt want us to love ourselves,Of course no one wants us to become empowered . Maybe they know something we dont,our hair represents our true identity and roots .Maybe they are scared we will awake and wise up about other things. Ladies ,we as black women could shut the koreans out . Everyone seems to… Read more »
They are afraid of us. We are soo versatile and they are soo….white! LOLOLOL HATE ON BITCHES!!!!! BLACK IS BEAUTIFUL!!!!
i love this response 🙂
This is crazy and sad to see. But yep Tasha, we keep on going. 🙂
Unacceptable. Absolutely ridiculous.
On the bright side (if we care to see it)- it will generate the support of more people from different races.
Not only did these racist a-holes waste their life with this nonsense but they promoted the very business they disliked in the process. I had never heard of Naturalista Cosmetics. Nice.
Lolol, there’s always a silver lining, I guess
Really? Racist trolls?
I would have told them to GTFO my facebook page and report them for trolling my page with racist comments.
See they’re not as smart as they think they are. Because not only have they given this company free advertising, but they just inspired me and many others to definitely keep on with my natural hair.
I don’t understand people like this. I don’t ever want to.
Absolutely disgusting. I can’t believe the things I have been hearing and seeing as of late. It’s hard to believe that it’s 2011!!! I feel like within the past couple of years racism has escalated tremendously.
It has escalated because we have Black President in office and some people cannot stand the idea. Therefore, they attack random Black people to help them feel better about their sad @ss existence. That’s real!
I completely agree! It is racists’ fear that they are losing their grip in America that makes them lash out at Black people who are living their day to day lives. It is quite sad, as many people have said. I have never understood why if you hate someone you must take out time in your day, when you could be more productive, to try to degrade someone. I just couldn’t live my life with that much hate in my heart. God has intended for me to do too many things for me to be consumed with bringing others down… Read more »
I wonder if they’re aware that the dude who runs this country is about the same complexion as some of the girls on that page…….hmmmm…..lol!
I sympathize with her as a fellow small business owner that she has to take time to deal with this on top of all the other responsibilities she has. My prayers to her.
I didn’t even read this. Seeing the title alone, I chose not to. I don’t allow anyone to put crap in my head. This is ignorance that just won’t go away!
i agree. it’s like reading the comments on yahoo or something–why would i? lol
OMG. I was just thinking that. I don’t know why I keep getting sucked into it. Everytime I read any article on yahoo I dread the comments. It takes only but a minute for all the comments to turn towards black people being the big problem in the country. They can literally find a bullshit way to blame us for everything. Its unbelievable! Recently been getting racists targeting two of my youtube videos. Now for some reason I feel kinda scared whenever I get a comment on either.
I just had to leave her a comment in show of support. Yeah, we are not gonna take this BS in 2011. Do they know who they are messing with?!
Me too! I’m glad we’re all commenting on BGLH but I hope all of us are inspired to spend a few seconds to shine a little light and show a sister that same support on her FB page!
DITTO !!
This made my skin burn, seriously. Nothing has changed, let us never forget.
I am glad she stood up for her business, and report them to the police. And it’s great that it got media coverage.
It’s so sad though!
We must be doing something revolutionary by going ‘natural.’ I take this attack to mean that we are on the right path and that someone is feeling the economic drain from their pockets by the decrease in chemical hair care product sales. 😡
I totally agree! I definitely think the attack signifies progress! People have tried to shame black women for so long into thinking that they’re not attractive and need to change/adjust the way they look. It must be confusing and troubling to see black women en force rejecting that notion and gaining momentum. Forward ho!
I absolutely agree with your statement! They want to keep us down, but it will not work!
I co-sign that 🙂 Those people are pathetic and their life must be really sad if spent doing these hateful things, but their stupid actions show that there is something important to what we are doing.
Plus they gave us natural even more visibly, probably the very thing they didn’t want… So they really are stupid !
Message to the hate messenger(s): You have no power…you are weak, you type vile words full of deceit. As your hate filled messages registered in my brain..I smiled, shook my head and said… Shame, Shame, SHAME!! Get over it Cousin, we all ONE blood!! hahaha Many websites available for your research but here is one: http://www.fwquestclub.com/welcome_files/papers/dna.pdf You may also review The Genographic Project, sponsored by National Geographic and IBM Lord, please forgive them for they know not what they do. Message to Naturalista Cosmetics: It is So sad that these ppl (said loosely)used your business forum to reflect their hatred.… Read more »
This is very sad and come on……………………….. IN 2011 this is ridiculous very ridiculous! I will pray for the company that was attacked and the people who attacked them.
Despite the seriousness of the story, I could not help but admire how gorgeous the lady in the interview hair was. This really makes me want to purchase some of her products.
Never knew I would live to see the day where a natural hair page would be bombarded by racists. The natural hair community is such a threat to the powers that be…things that make u go hmmmmmmm.
Maybe this is too conspiracy theorist, but I wonder if the people behind this are actually white. They seem to take natural hair a little too…personally.
Obviously whoever did it hates Black women, but they could be hiding behind the stereotypical white racist Klan member image. Something about “You deserved to get raped by white men” especially just throws me off.
yes! I feel that too. Normally I am the first one rolling my eyes at conspiracies or “alternate truths” but that last line reeked! hmmm. I hope this is resolved.
I was thinking something similar to be honest…
I’m glad I’m not the only one who is suspicious.
Thanks ladies, now I don’t feel as silly.
I didn’t click the link (not about to), but that line you highlighted makes me go, ‘Hmmm’. Whether or not they are white racists, they’re idle and hateful creatures and the best way to deal with them is to go higher than ever.
Why the hell are people mentioning the year 2011? Racism/misogyny or hatred in general was never meant to have an expiration date.
Hate is alive and well and unfortunately tolerated in America due to the “freedom of speech” law. I have been subjected to but not victimized by racial comments on my yt channel that nearly caused me to close my account but I allow it to stand, just as I do. I shall not be moved! Be strong I say, if you or we were not doing something that was not making a difference they would not be so intimidated by us!!! Keep doing what u r doing!
Those cavemen obviously feel threatened. How disgusting.
And people tell us that WE need to forget about the past and put things behind us. Its 2011 and we still get this kind of treatment. We’ve proven that we are strong, and we WILL NOT FORGET. SMH, this shit is disgusting.

This person feels that their white supremacist views are being threatened and wanted to belittle us for embracing our natural selves and inspiring and lifting one another up…. Like some of the comments say above, hate and racism is very much alive and well. Obviously the natural hair movement is about MORE THAN JUST HAIR.
Yes, it is more than just hair and hopefully people can start realizing that! Looks like somebody is mad that we FINALLY decided that we are good enough!
+1
WOW.
I’ve seen quite a few comments pop up on black websites like TheYBF and I’ve followed the posters back to white “supremacist” forums where they tell each other sites to go to and YouTube videos to post hateful derogatory comments on to stir people up and start arguments. They get a kick out of saying offensive things then seeing people argue about it. The conclusion I’ve come to as far as them deciding to bash a facebook page about Natural hair is that they ABSOLUTELY HATE to see us getting along and loving ourselves. I’ve read on the boards how… Read more »
excellent comment!
After reading about the willie lynch letter last night, this truely makes me sad. No one was born to suffer because of how God made them. Stand strong sistas!! Be proud of your natural self and only judge yourself by God’s standards and not the standards of those people who have forgotton who they are and given in to hate and materialism. If anything our love for ourselves makes them weak and insecure, only proving that our hair is more than ‘just hair’, and we are all making a huge statement.
as long as we continue to stay divided, things as such will continue to happen. it seems like we only come together as one when shyt like this happens. sad but true.
oh, so they mad? *flips my twists*
More proof that whites have an irrational obsession with black people. No other ‘race’ aggresses against whites the way whites aggress against black people.
Racist trolls just aren’t worth the time. The best way to deal with this is to just let it all roll off your shoulders and thank them for the free publicity.
Disgusting! I’m going to support her business! When the “others” try to tear us down, it is up to us to stay together!
*shakes head* Poor little trolls. Nothing of importance must be going on in their lives if they take to showing their behinds like this.
We must be one helluva threat, though. 😉
I agree with all my natural sisters various comments above. First of all, the racist trolls just gave this lovely sister more business….because I had never heard of her before this. Secondly, co-signing on Tasha above, (IT’S NOT GOING TO STOP US)!!!! I am proud, proud, proud of my natural hair, and it is not going to stop me BEING me! They are trash, trolls with nothing else to do but harass others with racist rhetoric, and really? I am glad she took it to the media, God Bless her heart, and may she become even MORE prosperous in her… Read more »
I Agree on two of he comments. This is a about Fear. That page represented a threat to their false sense of supremacy. People like that know deep down they’re no better than others. When some people see a black woman with natural hair its assume she’s militant or just proud and has no inferiority complex about the one thing most believe we have a complex about.
Now I know why I was angrily hair flipped by a white girl walking the opposite direction I was. I guess she saw my big fro and my CONFIDENCE
[…] initially read about this over at Black Girl with Long Hair and decided to check out the page and show some support. I didn’t find the racist posts, […]
This makes me want to grow the largest, widest most obnoxious fro possible. The same people who extol the virtues and honor of being American are the same ones who destroy this country with racist, supremacist, bigoted hate.
I didn’t even click this but I already know what it says. I’ve seen it on Craigslist dating where they put a monkey face on a black womans body and titled it the N word spelled out. I see it daily on any yahoo article imaginable. They blame black people and the Pres for everything. Recently racists have been attacking a video on my comedy channel that shows a Black girl with tiny pants on and her butt crack showing. It was purely for entertainment and I rarely check the comments but when I have the last few times they… Read more »
Excellent blog! I genuinely love how it’s easy on my eyes as well as the information are well written. I am wondering how I might be notified whenever a new post has been made. I have subscribed to your rss feed which need to do the trick! Have a nice day!

This shows you that they have nothing else to do with their time other than try to make others feel bad about themselves. Its not going to happen anymore. They are just scared that being white is becoming obsolete. People who do crap like that are at a lower vibration than those of us who are diversely conscious. I don’t have time for their tom-foolery.
It just shows how aware they are of their less than superior status. It shows that we are on the right path. We can’t stop cyber harrassment except 2 block them but their sad & pathetic attempts at harrassment fall short. Don’t they know when you fan the flames…they only get hotter & higher? So yeah, let them keep spewing their nonsense abt their supposed superiority…we just keep rising higher & higher.their antiquated racists reign has long been over & they know it. It makes them feel better to THINK we are hurt by their rants…my parents dealt with that… Read more »
