'If Jada confronted Chris Rock on stage she'd be given the 'angry Black woman' label
28.03.2022 - 20:11 / ok.co.uk
Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me. We all got taught this as children, but as adults I think we can understand how completely untrue that statement is. Words can really hurt, and they can leave long lasting damage that runs far deeper than a cut or a broken bone.
So, when Chris Rock joked about Jada Pinkett-Smith’s ‘GI Jane’ hair - a comment about the fact that she has a shaved head due to alopecia - it wasn’t just a harmless joke. His words made a mockery of Jada’s condition and were harmful to many other women and girls with medical conditions that affect their hair growth. But it runs deeper than that: there is a long and problematic history in society and the media around Black women’s hair, and around the fact that Black women are stereotyped if they speak their mind.
Alisha Lestrade – Owner of Thimble and Doll says, “It's a lot… another week, another Black woman being made the butt of someone's joke in front of a world audience. Jada has spoken openly about the cause of her hair loss, through Alopecia, and of how hard it was to have to share that publicly, being bald not by choice - but to then be joked about in front of the millions watching must've been incredibly painful. "She eyerolled - of course - because what else can you do when the cameras are on you? If showed her true emotion she'd be at risk of being labelled an angry Black woman and gaslit with, "Oh you're overreacting" and "It was only a joke".
