All hair is dead; if it wasn't, you'd have to be anesthetized every time you needed a haircut. The only "live" part of the entire structure is the follicle.
African hair differs from other hair types in structure only. Instead of growing straight, hairs of this composition tend to grow in small, extremely tight spirals. This structure could be attributed to something as simple as a very dominant structure trait (such as the dark pigmentation also associated with African genetics), but recent research claims that it may be the result of different distributions of lipids throughout the hair shaft itself.
Now, to address the most important issue of this question, I'm going to have to recommend that you abstain from using this site. If you can't educate yourself through Google or even Wikipedia enough to avoid asking ridiculous questions like this, you need to spend more time figuring out where you went wrong and less time wondering about hair.
Best wishes.
