Well, it’s not as if there aren’t plenty of everyday products on the market for decades that have later been proven to cause severe health problems ;) If something’s subsequently found to be carcinogenic, and people have been absorbing it through their skin for 20 minutes 6 times per year over the course of a…

The whole point of a protest is that you have realistic demands.
For the record Malcolm Jenkins just announced that he would no longer protest the anthem by raising his face
Now playing
Yeah, that always bugged me, but Disney was (and still is) full of racist shit. Did you ever see the original release of Fantasia with Sunflower who was eventually erased from future versions?
Excuse me, I was saying it’s a shame with relation to the health risks associated with constantly putting chemicals on your scalp. I was making no comments on her personal choice to straighten her hair for whatever reason. I myself have unruly curly hair, so I know the struggle and I can’t imagine having to deal with…
I’m guessing from her quote it’s probably chemically straightened which is a shame. Have there ever been any studies done on what those chemicals do being constantly absorbed through people’s scalps?
Aside: was I the only one that paused the vid here to laugh?
It would be so fabulous if she stopped straightening her hair for the wedding. (Although I think I heard her say somewhere something like “my hair doesn’t even remember what it was” so I’m not sure what she does to it.)
I second this motion! I vote for The Root to use this sticker over every image of Donald Von Tweedledick’s sphincterized face:
Hilarious. This has nothing to do with “authenticity” or value judgments of other people’s art. Wannabe artists - as I said in my previous post - are people that call themselves artists BUT DON’T CREATE ANYTHING. They just like the label.
Exactly. I’m an artist who’s lived all over the place and I don’t know any artists who like hipsters and their performative “I’m a crowd-sourced creative” schtick. In my lifetime of observation - prior to “hipster” even being a word - these people just serve to give actual working artists a bad name because they don’t…
I think a lot of people here are confusing “artists” with “trust-fund wannabe artist-types and hipsters” — since when are artists not also included in “poor working class folk”?? Please see my comment above: http://www.theroot.com/1820807407
So... what are the anti-gentrification artists supposed to do? Not share our art?
Exactly. Thus their mantra “He tells it like it is” — they wish they could do the same with no repercussions.
Interesting article - thanks for sharing. Have you read Boy, Snow, Bird by Helen Oyeyemi?
No she didn’t. That was a lie started by Scott Brown during their senate race.
Is it just me, or did the official engagement ring photo have some serious photoshopping done (aka the White Supremacy Filter™) prior to being published?
Yes, it is absolutely a racial slur. The link below is the best explanation I have read on the topic, written by a Romani woman. I suggest everyone read it if G**** is a word in your vernacular. It’s equivalent to calling them N*****. Really.
So her mistake was not fact checking her own parents? How often do you fact check the things they tell you about your family?
