Happy To Be Nappy?

It's a phrase that could get a talk show host fired. It's also the title of a book by black, feminist activist bell hooks [sic], in the top picture above.

She's not alone. There's also Nappy Hair and Going Natural: Fall In Love With Nappy Hair, both written by the authors pictured (in order).

Nappy or not? Offensive or not? I don't know. Why don't you ask these guys?
