You're listening to Comedy Central.

BAM!

Black people's hair.

You know, the thing that we don't want white people to touch because it'll give them superpowers.

Oh my god! Now I can dunk for generations.

Black people have been made to feel as if their hair is a signifier of their inferiority in society.

And for generations, Black people have had to take that bullshit.

But not anymore.

A leading retail pharmacy in South Africa has been forced to close some of its stores after accusations of a racist advertisement.

Click's pharmacy is under fire for posting an ad on its website that describes Black hair as dull, dry and damaged,

while calling white hair fine, normal and flat.

It's since apologized and pulled down the images.

But supporters of the economic freedom fighters party want the retail chain to shut down for five days.

Yes.

Even in a country that's 85% Black, this kind of shit is still going on.

Which makes you wonder, how Black does a country have to be for this not to happen anymore?

Like, is this going on in Wakanda?

But if you're a Black person, these kinds of stories are nothing new.

And it's not limited to South Africa either.

In fact, here in America, Black people deal with legal and cultural discrimination against their hair all the time.

Dulce Sloan has more on that in another installment of Dulceian.

Black hair is like gluten.
