Yes, semantics do matter so you might not want to speak monolithically about white people and their “tendencies”. I agree that this Roof bitch is totally out of line, but in your rage and disgust you have to listen to what you’re saying, too.

It’s not at all, but I understand reading comprehension can be tough when your state doesn’t care about education. Sorry about the massive inferiority complex though.

I’m with you on this!

Good point. This story fascinates me. Even more fascinating is the variety of responses.

It absolutely has to be a wig, right? Because otherwise she’d have pale blonde roots shining through every few weeks and surely people would question that.

The only thing she couldn’t do right was get a relaxer. I absolutely dig that she wore other styles, but it’s telling that she didn’t even try for a relaxer. And the reasons are not that her hair was already straightened so she didn’t need one. Whether or not you wear one, you have to own up to the fact that hair…

I have been reading about this all morning and I still am making David Tennant’s WHAT face. This chick was super committed to this. Why did her husband just like, say nothing? This is the weirdest fucking story. What prompted her parents to ‘come clean’ with the media about this?

That’s what Rachel said.

I’m trying very hard not to judge her, but my compass is moving consistently to psychopath. All the lies certainly don't help her case.

“So where do you stand with this? Is it fucked up, exploitative, abusive, and appropriating?”

Likewise. The few times I’ve bothered to try a perm, I basically sneezed and the curls fell out.

This is the second time you’re making this comment. Clearly you’re not interested in opposing opinions but I’ll make my piece anyway: I would be okay with this woman being in the NAACP and rocking these hairstyles if she was honest about her racial background. But that wasn’t enough for her. She had to take on the…

I’m a white woman and though I’m brunette, I have the same fine, straight hair that Rachel is sporting in her younger pictures. I cannot for the life of me figure out how she got those “natural” coils. Back in yesteryear when I was going to prom my hair stylist spent hours curling my hair - a combo of hot rollers, a…

There is, but those are wigs. Her wig game is strong. I could name all of them. Did reviews on a couple on Youtube.

My first thought was Toni Home Perm using the xsmall rods. I know this because my mom did it to me. She was going for a “Shirley Temple” look (WTF). After we cut it off I had to endure a full year of “and what will the young gentleman be having” I’m not saying it lead directly to the divorce. But I’m not saying it…

You know how us black people love to refer to ourselves as “ethnic”

9 times out of 10 it’s straight white men who complain about political correctness. They hate that they live in a world where they can no longer make disparaging comments about people that are not like them without repercussion. They want the freedom to disrespect others but of course we have to respect them because…

Yes, I’m in this club.

Thank you. I’m in the “hard to explain to other people so I usually just end up feeling like a bad person” category and it sucks. It’s nice to feel not so alone. I hate Mother’s Day.
