For some reason, trying to add to your stars decreased them instead. Thanks for sharing this comedy bit. It’s a favorite of mine. So many white people like to ask, “What if things were reversed?” but they are usually reversing only the facts of a specific incident, not reversing history, like discussed by the…

Yep, lifelong natural as well because of a supportive mom who had her own relaxer horror stories. My chemical of choice is chlorine, and swimming has played a huge role in my life.

Sadly, many people viewed it as a fad.

Even if one was to say the USA is a de facto patriarchy, it appears that some women are okay with that, as shown by the 53% of white women voters who supported DJT.

I agree with you 100% about how people’s successes often omit the whole story. It’s annoying and not truthful.
