Clearly, not everyone received the memo about touching black women’s hair.
Recently, Oscar-nominated director Ava DuVernay has an unpleasant encounter with a man who felt that it was okay to touch her locs without permission. She later took to Twitter to discuss the awkward experience that ended with the police being called.
Missed train dealing w/ a man who touched my hair + when I asked what in all the hells he thought he was doing replied "Is this racial?"

Other women came over. Guy is screaming at all of us. Station police involved. It was a whole thing. As I see my train blink off the board.

Now he's having charges pressed by another lady for harassment. Moral: DON'T TOUCH anyone uninvited. ESPECIALLY not this black woman's hair.

Gosh. Thanx for all the good wishes. I'm more than fine. Way, way worse is happening in the world. I'm just pissed about this train! Dammit!
