I suspect the choker was partly due to the fact that her hair wasn’t dark but was trying to achieve a similar effect; but yes dark hair definitely works better with this dress.

The next time you do that just send them my way, I looooove them! :D

probably someone who has dedicated her life to the study of literature is not as worried about apperances as you are, and more interested in the art.

I hope one day you allow your children to be happy.

Commenters keep giving you chances to back up off your weird elitism, and you continue doubling down. So have at it, I guess.

remember when certain radio stations wouldn’t play “any of that *raaap* stuff” and then shut up really quickly when Eminem came around.

How does this person exist!?

So to sum up, people who hold advanced degrees would rather not see their children become rappers and everyone involved in hip-hop would be in jail if they weren’t making music?

You do know you’re talking about one genre of rap right? Gangsta rap wasn’t always in the mainstream, and it’s in the mainstream because white people are the largest buyers of hip hop music and they like sensationalist shit. Rap is the style. It’s just poetry.

You know what else the Obama girls aren’t being readied for? Careers as plumbers or electricians or home-birth midwives or poets or the men and women who clean other people’s homes, or nannies, so at least have the good sense to look at what you’re saying.

All rappers spend their time with people who were or “should be” in jail? See. This thinking that people of color “should be” in jail is a big reason why we have the social problems we have in this country today. I feel sad for you.

Oh my god, wow. Classism at its finest folks.

Thank you. All these people on here commenting about his “lack of articulation” can barely disguise their sneering contempt for black men.

Your comment is so remarkably ignorant.

Both my parents work in academia. I suspect that they would be confused but not displeased if I became a rapper. It would be a bit like my becoming a 16th century explorer (more a comment on my particular family dynamics). On the other hand they would be horrified if I became an investment banker.

“Only the most materialistic” please. Because being a musician is a solid way to get that money. This Vicky person is so gross and dumb. Maybe consider being LessVicky - less racist, more critical of her arbitrary reliant logic.

Nothing to do with hiphop, I do agree with you that she’d likely be ashamed of his lifestyle and virtually every tweet and public statement, what good parent wouldn’t be? I’m not a fan of his rap personally, I think he’s at his best producing for others, he is an excellent producer. He’s done great work with Common…

I’ve dug into this in the past, and found no good evidence that talc causes cancer. It appears very similar to claims that antiperspirant causes breast cancer, etc. A lot of people believe it, but the scientific evidence doesn’t support a link.

This is what I'm wondering too. I've read three different stories on this and all of them mention how scientific studies done on the effect of talc have been minimal or inconclusive yet I would hope there was SOMETHING more than daily use and a memo to award this kind of judgement. I really want to know bc baby powder…

So what scientific evidence was produced in the plaintiffs favour? Surely that’s a bit more relevant than an anecdote about how often it was used.
