Well im full black, actually 100% Haitian. My hair grows and grows, because I take good care of my hair. Every two weeks I wash %26amp; treatment my hair and every 2 months I get my hair relaxed. I dont do my hair at home, I do it a salon. I think that is the main reason why 'black' hair don't grow. Everyones hair is different. Some people have a healthy head of hair and others dont. If you see your hair doesn't grow you should consider doing your hair at a salon or just change your stylist.

Black hair is more coarse and thicker. As for your misconception that Black people can not take care of their hair properly, that's not correct. Black hair takes more care and attention, hair growth has nothing to do with how much care is taken with it.

My suggestion for you is to find and read books on black culture and especially black hair care.

Yea some people may not take care of their hair but that also applies to all races.

The reason why it takes a LONNGG time for black hair to grow is because our hair is curly or kinky at the roots. When we have new growth it comes out wavy. Now think about this visually as if you were threading a needle; when you use a straight piece of thread it goes directly in the hole easily and you can pull it through. Now try to tread up a crumbled and jagged piece of thread it's harder to get it through.

Our hair takes longer to push through the scalp and grow.

Mixed people are often 'blessed' with hair that doesn't have this texture and is fairly easy to manage in nature. So don't assume everyone doesn't take care of their hair, just remember everyone isn't blessed with the better hair gene.
