I’m hoping that news of his removal comes with news & photos of his lifeless body being cut down from a tree. He mentioned the well worn blueprint, so hopefully someone will use it. Since he thinks their should be lynchings, let his ass swing first.

The flatiron murdered me. I’m still floored by that shit.

The opinions about women’s style choices (from dudes) in a place like where I live are super obnoxious, bc most of them- black, white or other, like a narrow range of the same thing. It’s like, babe, us girls already know, so shut.the.fuck.up.

Ok, that’s not nice. I’m just trying to explain. I bet you know what I’m saying, though, lol!!!

Keep in mind, I’m in a conservative place. When you see someone here with great personal style, you get REALLY excited. People often look cooler in N. Orleans, but even there, you have to sift out the ones who don’t look too familiar with soap, lol.

Yes, I did (unfortunately) take ballet as a kid (I ran through a tennis coach & a swim instructor before finding what I like- thanks parents), but I didn’t have a puff. My mom learned this trick to get my hair in a controlled bun: first, put hair in highly placed ponytail with rubber band, then wrap the ponytail…

That’s true. I’m of two minds about it. On one hand, I think it’s a fucking lot of nerve. On the other hand, I’m not going to pretend that people don’t get together in the first place, based partially on physical attraction. Lord knows, if I had first met my guy with a mountain man beard, we likely wouldn’t be…

I love how puffs look. My favorite are the ones placed like Mickey Mouse’s ears. Every time I see them, I think the woman (or girl) looks so cute. It’s a rarity though, bc I think that style is associated with children, so you don’t see it on a lot of grown women- especially any that wear a suit to work. I see more of…

That’s so many men, though, including every single one I’ve been with. Hell, I’m pretty sure I could send the fiance into a full cardiac moment by making him think I’d cut it completely off. Maybe it’s better outside the south? I don’t know, but I thought more guys may be like this in conservative areas.

You did not bring up Sir Lazy Eye, aka Ben Carson, lol.

You’re smart. If I had a different kind of hair, I’d have caught hell down here. I realized that more, looking back, bc other than comments about the amount, or outright compliments, nobody was fucking with me like these schools are doing. Locally, black women are facing a mix of racism/sexism/misogynoir. Black men…

There’s nothing I hate more than some bald-headed bitch making those lion cracks. There’s fault to be assigned in different amounts with this, however. There’s the origination if it in the historical enforcement of ideas of white supremacy, but then, there are ignorant poc’s who need to stop saying, so-and-so has…

Yes, it’s racism. I’m black, & I’ve never had anyone tell me to trim my hair, even though it was nearly to my waist throughout my childhood/teenage years. Looking back with adult eyes, bc my hair grows in a pattern like the McDonald’s arches (slightly up but mostly down), I wasn’t targeted. These people are being…

I could easily see that happening where I am, too. I have yet to even see a kid down here with locs. A lot of guys have them, but locally, it’s definitely coded as a masculine style- especially by black men (there are women, too, but very few & far between). Most kids I see around only have natural hair if it’s…

Some people NEVER mind their own business, & a classroom is the place where a teacher with that problem can just go buckwild, bc of the uneven power dynamic. We’ve all gone to school with, & worked next to people like this, & even though we were on equal footing, we wished they’d die on the way in the next morning (at…

Forgot to mention: poc’s being on the committee wouldn’t automatically be a good thing. It’s hard to go a day where I live without hearing the words “good hair”. There are certain places where the natural hair movement will never be as strong. Here, you’ve always had natural hair (like I do), or you’ll probably never…

I never thought about the shape of the gowns. It was always how hot they are (I live in a hot climate). They could feel wonderful, I guess, if you live somewhere chilly, but down here it’s hell. It’s nothing for it to be 90 degrees on Christmas, so a May graduation is a motherfucker.

“Distracted” is code for what they really want to blurt out, which is, “that shit is ugly, why am I, a precious white person, being forced to look at it?” I think the sight of the particularly frizzy haired students touches on a fear that’s embedded in white people from young- the appearance that you’re not entirely…

Anything involving my naked snatch means I only want the doctor- and my gyno is a woman. I’m always amazed at so- called modest people who are willing to have 20 people in a room when they give birth (or allow video), but wouldn’t ever go to a nude beach, skinny dip, or be involved in any other public nudity situation…

I think they all suck. I only attended one of mine past high school. When I considered having a kid, graduations were on the long list of cons. The achievement is great, but mom having to attend & act like she doesn’t want to get the fuck outta there isn’t. I think it’s bc I don’t enjoy anything that’s super…
