    Lin already said it's not about him winning or embarrassing Martin.

    That type of rhetoric is divisive considering Kenyon made it a racialized conversation.

    Straight hair is not natural to blacks.

    Whats your point no one race owns a hair texture

    Please don't start this ? ...there's a whole black women natural hair movement that been poppin for at least the last 5+ years. Maybe cuz you in Europe you don't see it....

    You be all up in the kaepernick thread...nobody hair is more nappy than an NFL player. And for as much as you hate on lavar ball you know his sons got fros. Don't do this with me bruh...

    hey wait wait....whoa

    i dont like lavar for trynna troll black people.
    i aint got no beef with naps.

    i am saying...i dont see other races trynna proudly rock naps.

    im not ashamed of it.

    we cool again gabi?

    Oh damn...ok ok my bad. I'm a lil sensitive when it comes to the topic of black hair lol.

    But all kinda non black ppl rock non straight hair...Jews, the Chinese Jamaicans, Latinos (not just the afro Latinos)...

    White people may not be the only people with straight hair, but no blacks naturally have straight hair.

    Oh, and by "blacks" I mean unmixed blacks. "Blacks" with straight hair got it from other races.

    Let Lin cook. Imitation is the biggest form of flattery.

    Some Mfs seem to find it more easy to go extra hard on their own. Next we'll be saying non-Black rappers ain't get it from us... and saying anything to the contrary is racist.

    He said they know* nothing about locks.

    Just 10 years ago, locks were more so associated with Rasta culture and consciousness. Many of these guys now have it cause of Lil Wayne, Waka Flocka, and Chief Keef.

    Lin handled this fairly well.

    And I'm not too mad at him for wearing dreads.

    But miss me with that black-Asian unity bs. Most Asians aren't ? with us.

    That's what he's talking about changing, though.
