India Arie Writes Open Letter to Baby Blue Ivy Critics

Baby Blue Ivy 

There was a time when Beyonce kept little Baby Blue Ivy away from the public glare. Now, Blue is seen everywhere with Beyonce and Jay. However, this has sparked some really mean and nasty comments about Baby B's hair. A petition was recently launched on Change.org requesting that Bey take better care of her child's hair. It stated:

As a woman who understands the importance of hair care. It’s disturbing to watch a child suffering from the lack of hair moisture. The parents of Blue Ivy. Sean Carter A.K.A Jay-Z and Beyoncé has failed at numerous attempts of doing Blue Ivy Hair. This matter has escalated to the child developing matted dreads and lint balls. Please let’s get the word out to properly care for Blue Ivy hair.

Tamar Braxton and Syleena Johnson have also chimed in on this whole Blue Ivy hair saga. Now, the ever so natural, and gorgeous India Arie has put her 2 cents in.  Here is what she wrote: 

My thoughts on Blue Ivy's hair. Why does Anyone get the idea that it is ok to make fun of a child? In public no less?  The celebrity culture that hyponotizes people into thinking a person is literally not real because you see them on television is a spell the water Him or Herself Must Break. Blue Ivy- is a CHILD. Anyone thinking to themselves right now:  "But she was born with a silver spoon in her mouth so what does it matter what I say"

Denying ANY PERSON their humanity is a GAME we should ALL stop playing.

WHY?

Because it’s the kind of PERSON YOU WANT TO BE.

Why NOT be a person who is loving towards human kind as a whole AND people as individuals?
WHY NOT be a person protects the hearts of children?

I think! all these people making negative comments would feel the SAME WAY if Blue Ivy’s hair were TOO DONE. If she had a relaxer, of Hair pulled too tight at the edges.

being gentle with a child’s hair is simply appropriate – this goes the same for ALL children.

come ya’ll Lol

Were ARE better than this.

What do you think of this saga surrounding Blue Ivy's hair? This is what we think about this; it is actually none of anyone's business how Beyonce and Jay-Z do their child's hair. For all we know they could be growing dreadlocks on her. So, people should really butt out of it! Simple! Unless the child is being abused or something of that nature, people should really just take care of their own kids and stop watching what other people are doing with theirs. Thats it!!!!
