Are they saying white women’s fur hair is the status symbol for class, and Black women’s hair is just something you put on top of your head, like a crown. Or maybe they are trying to say Black women’s hair represents royalty, like the crown on a Queen’s head.
But then again, African royalty don’t usually wear crowns on top of their heads. The Queen Mothers and Queens in traditional African cultures don’t usually wear crowns on top of their heads. African Queen Mothers and Queens might have a royal ancestral emblem placed on top of their heads to symbolize their status in the society. And most of the time, it is the Queen Mothers and the Queens hair design that represents and symbolizes her high status in society. But for an actual crown to be placed on top of a royal person’s head in Africa is very rare.
This whole crown thing is a EuroAsian foreign identity that some African cultures have adopted in their society and culture as their own.
This whole title of “Crown and Class” about Black woman’s hair is very confusing.

I mentioned that to them. They're yet to respond.
