Why do most black people have short hair when compered to people in other races?

They don't. Have a look at some pictures of 60s and 70s Afros. That hair sure ain't short. It't curly, but it's not short. Or take a look at the length of the dreadlocks on some serious Rastafarians.\n\nAs Rain points out, it's just the current fashion trend for black people in the US to have either short hair or straightened hair. In the 70s the trend was for long hair.\n\nSome black people, a tiny minority that are almost never seen in the US, do have genetically short hair that never grows more than a few inches long. That hair type is most common amongst the San groups of Southern Africa, though it's by no means universal even there.\n\n\nBut there is certainly no justification for a belief that balck people as a group have shorter hair than anyone else.

Black people are generally taller, with longer legs, a leaner body frame, and larger nostrils for breathing in more air.  These are environmental adaptations from eons of living in Africa.  A lot of those features are still there today.  These features allow them to run faster than Whites.  Is this true for all? NO. Just a generalization of supported scientific facts.\n\nAs forthe three point shots, well, that's just opinion.

They are genetic. Native Americans have very little or no facial hair. Where as european and nordic peoples have abundant facial hair.  People of Asian decent also have very little facial hair. It all has to do with your racial genetics.

Yaya--there is only one race because:\n"The God who made the world and all things in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands; neither is He served by human hands, as though He needed anything, since He Himself gives to all life and breath and all things;and He made from one man, every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth, having determined their appointed times, and the boundaries of their habitation," (Acts 17:24-26)\n\n When God confused the languages at Babel, (Genesis 10, esp. verses 7&9) people could only marry close family members if they wanted to be able to communicate with their spouses!  So hair color, eye color, facial features, even skin tone, became concentrated in each family.  Each family eventually formed a nation or people group--and the people looked a lot alike because of the original close intermarrying.\n\nYes, "Racism" exists--because people are sinful.  A person might use himself or herself as the standard and shun people who are different.  Of course, other people will also shun or persecute this person because of their differences.  \n\nShunning or persecuting people based on their skin color or features is wrong.  God looks on the heart, and what matters is that your heart is right with God, not whether you are black or white, brown-haired or blonde-haired, pretty or ugly, or any of the outside physical differences between people.

Because some people are afraid of people that are different or look different than they are. Or they are just racist. Either way, people need to realize that it's just skin, inside we're all the same.

we just want to be people.  if you are ever in a conversation with someone and they want to describe someone they saw or spoke to they will always be  descriptive if the person was black.  ie- hey i saw this black guy with really cool dreadlocks.  if they are speaking of anyone else they wont use ethnicity

I do believe that there were people who lived in England decades and decades ago who were from African descent.  I have met several black people who were from England and their ancesters were from England many years back.  That doesn't necessarily mean that you have any black blood in you.  If you look a little exotic, that doesn't mean anything.  The caucasian race is widely diversified . . . there are blondes, redheads, brunettes, and those with black hair.  Their complexions range from the very pale to the very tanned.  I would consider you a caucasiion if your family tells you that you are.

We all have different amounts of melanin in our skin. If we have less, our skin is lighter. If we have more, our skin is darker.

It wold take away from the knowledge of knowing other things in life.It would be so confusing because you would really think all black people look alike and all white people can't dance.Which neither are true.But exploring and coming in contact with different cultures and races,teaches how to love each other no matter what we look like.Plus it makes the world much more interesting.i am glad its not defined into one of either race.I love them all.

Some peoples are borow-minded or tink like peoples in 15-17 century who divised the world by races... Sometime people don't find emselfes qualities so they try to persuade everyone their race is the best for keep confience in oneself. The are certainly scared that people could find them ''weak'' or stuff so they say: ''Ah! I'm white/black so I'm the best'', non-sense argument.

There are certain genetic characteristics related to each race. This just happens to be a dominant trait with black women, but of course there are exceptions. Every race has a variety of body types

That is an excellent question, because the same thing once happened to me i was walking around campus when a girl named melissa goes "is your dad like white or indain" and when i said no why would you ask that she goes "your hair is very pretty" that answer upset and astounded me all at the same time, it was an answer of ignorance and i couldnt belive someone would actually think that i was mixed as dark as i am (more like a nice chocolate color) and i have noticed even the most kinky haird girls (i mean no harm) will claim "yeah im 1/3 indain"  "im half spanish" (the new trend) and i will just shake my head, they think its cute and makes them more attractive to guys. I also have heard some say when given a compliment like "your very pretty" they quickly say "yeah my dads half asain" "im half indian" and so on, wich just puts our culture down more and hyping up the steryotype that black women are only beautiful when mixed, which is not true. there is nothing wrong with being black but society has brainwashed everyone to beliveing that there is, and you would think going on past things like slavery and other wars ppl would see its not all that great to be white (no offense to my boyfriend) becuase they always seem to be thinking evil things and doing evil things (hitler anyone) and they are quick to seed away anyone who isnt "pure white" i think black women need to come together and realize balck is beautiful and you could go anywhere else in the world and be praised for your black beauty only in america will we be continuously put down and told when all black you cant be beautiful but thats not true in other countires the darker the better "mixed..thats ok" "black..your gorgeous"

You are a racist person. Personally, though I'm not black, I wish I had hair like that. It requires "low" maintenance but can be extremely rad-looking when all fixed up.

Because people want other people to be like them. If everyone was the same then we would have another issue there in itself. Everyone is diverse. Just people don't realize that. We all come from different backgrounds no matter what color, sex, religion, race. We all have grown up in different ways.Someon might have grown up on a farm and someone else in the city, that is diversity. People are just too scared to want anything else or afraid on who or what they might meet, when in reality the person who is next to you could be your best friend instead they want to hide and not learn anything new.

Because Asians and Hispanics are humans, and most humans have dark hair.\n\nMost Europeans have dark hair.\n\nMost Africans have dark hair.\n\nMost Australians have dark hair.\n\nMost South Americans have dark hair.\n\nOnly in a tiny, tiny area of northwestern Europe do we find more than 5% of people having anyhting other than dark hair. And even there MOST POPLE HAVE DARK HAIR.\n\nLess than 2% of all the people on the entire planet have hair that is not dark brown or black. Hispanics and Asians are no different.
