I think 'kinky' is better as well...kinky just means that your hair has 'kinks', which is really (twists and turns or) curls...or curly hair. Coarse means rough, harsh, unrefined, untreated...etc.

interesting...your definitions are on point but yet when I hear kinky I think nappy while when I hear coarse I think of hair that may be straight but its not "silky" in its natural state. I don't anything is wrong w/ either description but they conjur 2 different images.

So you were one of the dumb Afrocentric Americans who was trying to tell AfroLatinos how to identify and ran most true AfroLatinos of that board. gotcha.

"So you were one of the dumb Afrocentric Americans who was trying to tell AfroLatinos how to identify and ran most true AfroLatinos of that board. gotcha."

I'm African and Guyanese and I prefer the term pan African. Actually, I was one of the few posters on the Afrolatino board that spoke out in favor of keeping you around. I didn't see a problem with someone having different views, but then i saw your true nature. You were on the board to create chaos and i grew tired of your condescending behaivior. Why do white latinos like yourself feel threthened when Afro Latinos and other African diasporan people get together. Who are you to tell Black people that we shouldn't link up?
