It's almost a daily occurrence for me to have an unknown and unwanted hand run through my hair. Usually, this happens from behind and is followed up with an ignorant so called compliment of how pretty and textured it is. I've never received direct racism but it has always come in a back-handed form. Being of a lighter skin tone racism is usually disguised as a compliment, for example, "oh you're really pretty for a black person, or your hair is so nice for a black person."
If only people could understand how important it is to have black business owners that understand the people they serve.
