You can't stop people from punching themselves in their faces if they're dead-set on punching themselves in their faces. All I know is that walking is not required for graduation and outside of a guarantee of 100% student loan forgiveness, you wouldn't catch me within earshot of that mess. I'd get the cap…

Or how they were making so much noise that the poor guy snapped. It's our fault, really.

So should he be giving talks for free or what? I'm not quite sure what your point is. If someone asks me to do something (like teach a class) that takes preparation and skill on my part I should do it for free because some bad people before me also taught said class? Or are you saying that he shouldn't talk to…

I don't have kids but I would have lost my mind if a teacher decided that they're going to 'fix' my child's hair without asking. I wouldn't want her to feel singled out, did the teacher braid everyone's hair that day?? Isn't this a risky proposition for a pre-school teacher? This is definitely how the lice apocalypse…

And, I keep saying this, they have most definitely changed the formulation of some of their products. They say that they haven't, but unless I can find an old bottle of product to compare I don't believe them. The last time i re-uped everything was just off. I mentioned it to my sister and moved on. The ads just…

Nah. I've said it elsewhere but Carol's Daughter did the same exact thing: erased black women from their ads and website and messed with the formulation. As such, Carol has not seen one red cent from me since and I was a huge fan. You can call if "fake outrage" but a lot of sisters followed suit, Carol's Daughter…

I have 2 major problems with Shea Moisture:
1 – Erasure of black women in media is a problem. They are (were?) a black owned business and they couldn’t be bothered to find 1 kinky-haired black person. The ad was really tone deaf as well. It said something about freeing yourself from hair hate, as if straight haired…

It's the kind of petty I'd pull if I was God.

If there was ever a sign that your God does not approve of the hi-jinx you're pulling…

Still mad at them:

Oooooh f them for real now. F Tariq too. The issue is that even though AA women spend over 7 BILLION dollars a year on hair care products, it's not good enough and we're getting erased in advertising for products meant for and created for US. That commercial had one racially ambiguous woman and a bunch of white…

That's a good idea.

For me, it's that I have Nigerian parents who will never throw anything away especially if 1) money was paid 2) it can be used. It's turned me into a borderline clothes hoarder. I'm also a makeup and product junkie. I finally got to a point being okay with getting rid of stuff if I can find it a new home. One of my…

Excuse me, can you please tell me what Madoff scheme you're involved with netting you a 20% ROI? :) I thought I was doing something here with my 8.5% fund.

They should but what they always seem to do is 'reformulate' something that is popular and works well. It's basically watered down so that it useless for me but okay for a white person with thicker hair. It's annoying.

I started getting suspicious when I could find everything I wanted at one Target. Telltale sign that you're getting too popular.

What behavior are you referring to? As a recovering product junkie, I need to know who to boycott and why.

I just said the same thing about reformulation and Carol's daughter. It seems as soon as I find something that works with my temperamental, kinky (but beautiful) hair, the brand decides they don't want my money anymore and switches stuff up.

What really burns me about Shea Moisture is that they will eventually change their formulation. As soon as a hair brand that I like goes from AA to 'all hair matters' they change the formulation. I'm still mad at Carol's Daughter…

Agree. I am willing to be a control group and you can draw all the blood you need (for my incentive) but I am not going to be your guinea pig if I'm not terminal.
