It's loooooooaded with history and bias. A little girl with natural hair was suspended from school (I believe) for being "unkempt" when she had little Afro puffs. Tis was sometime last year I believe. And has been used to describe natural black hair regardless of the actual state of the hair in question.

Thank god. I am so sick of seeing black men and women told how they 'should' style their hair. Imagine if white people were told they needed to curl their hair before they could even look a basic level of presentable.

This comes across less like some deep and meaningful social experiment and more like a bitter dude trying to punish women for not respecting his special snowflakeness. 'Oh, you failed to notice what a bright and shining and unique soul I am in a sea of less fascinating men? Let me waste your time and pretend that it…

Were you getting the impression that anyone thought this woman marrying herself was not pathetic and douchey?

Mike Brown shot himself?

I stand by what I wrote so you can stop wasting your time with this if you think you're going to change my mind. Or don't. Whatever. Real things are happening right now.

you mean the government. most people actually do

This isn't about America vs. Iran. This is about an extraordinary woman who did something groundbreaking.

YES! I meant to mention this actually.

It's called "New Black Syndrome", thanks to its discoverer Pharrell Williams. It's when you get some pocket change and all of a sudden life is postracial.

At least there's John Legend!

It bothers me too. That's why I can't get too mad about Childish Gambino. At least the other stuff he said was stuff about how he knows no matter how famous he gets, he's still a black man and has to deal with racism in America. I'm not saying he's a visionary but it was nice to see a black celebrity (especially one…

KeKe Palmer really blew my mind with those cliched lines that she was spitting. I am so disappointed in her.

She was educated there, to undergraduate degree level. She came to the US for her post graduate studies. She also lists her citizenship as Iranian on her cv:

I'm seeing one too many black celebrities give their awful input about this situation and their general opinion is that black people shouldn't be angry about this situation because ~hate breeds more hate~ and we are the ones responsible for the racial divide in this country and blah, blah, blah. It mystifies me how…

She also went to one of the best universities in Iran and she didn't move to the US until after 2004 for graduate work and before she moved to US she won a lot of awards. So she was allowed to be educated in Iran.

[I am engaging in an internet campaign to spread kindness. I'd like to make the following modest suggestion to advertisers.]

Yeah, that's what I always think when I see these pieces. Everybody's like, "They don't really care about our self-esteem! They just want to sell us shampoo!" Obviously. Advertising will always exist, so it's better if it has a positive message than a negative one. Still trying to sell stuff.

I don't understand; you're disappointed that advertising (no matter the tone or content) remains a means to try to sell you shit?

White people suck. Cops suck. People who defend police are as laughable as those who defend politicians. There has to be something wrong with you mentally to become a cop, to want that power and to enforce these awful laws. As a white guy fortunate enough to be dating a black woman, white people suck, and police…
