People's Court 1

I just watched an episode of The People's Court and it just disgusted me. It was the episode where a mother took her 6 yr old daughter to the salon to have her hair relaxed by a professional. The relaxer burned the little girls head and the mother decided to sue the salon owner. Now the mother was wrong in trying to get money for her kids head being burned because she should have had the stylist wash the relaxer from the girls hair when she said it was burning. However Judge Milian took it upon herself to critcize the mother for getting a relaxer for the kid period. Being a black woman I know the advantages in using a relaxer. We as black women use relaxers in order to manage our hair better, not to change our appearances no matter the age. Black women are more proud of their appearance than any other woman on this earth and in order to understand that i feel you have to be part of our culture. We are very happy with what god gave us. We're not the ones getting our breast bigger, taking out the inside of our thighs, puttin in calf implants, botox in the lips, botox in the eyes, pull this back, lift this up, take this out, turn this around. Her comments were out of control and to me she not only put down that woman standing in her courtroom, she put down black women all over the world for getting their hair relaxed.

Ummm, no one should be giving a 6 yr old a relaxer. That is TOO young. I had my first relaxer when I was 12 years old and I had THICK hair that when braided, was the length of my back.

NO CHILD THAT YOUNG SHOULD BE GIVEN A RELAXER.

Judge Milian was NOT saying black WOMEN shouldn't get it done. She was commenting on the age of the girl.

I don't care what race you are. A child is a child and giving a 6 yr old a relaxer is sick.

Even Tyra Banks admonished a mother for giving her young daughter a relaxer too. It's not a race thing, Nikki Barnes, it's a child welfare thing. Don't confuse the two.
