Julian and Brandon and their adopted child. Sounds like an episode of "Modern Family."

[Buckeye McFrog]

I have heard this complaint from black football players who played for the Green Bay Packers. “I couldn’t find anybody in that town who knew how to cut my hair”.

[therightliveswithus]

Why is the Tribune covering this and not the budget?

[Steely Tom]

I thought adoption of black children by white parents was not allowed because the National Association of Black Social Workers was against it. I wonder what happened to that little dealie?

[Clock King]

So this gay couple have no Black friends they could ask for advice? Says a lot about leftists and others. I wonder what Madonna and Angelina do.

Does this explain Cornel West?

"People are judged by the way they look," said Julien Drouet, a white father of Lily, 3, and 10-month-old Victor, whom he adopted with his partner, Brandon Walt. "I don't agree, but if we want to help our kids, we need to know how to do this."

I think Lily and Victor are going to have more serious problems than how their hair is perceived in the hood, given that their parents names are Julien and Brandon.

Maybe this is the real explanation for the mysterious scars on Obama’s head.........

Gay “parent” aside, Black hair is different and, depending on the type of service needed, it really does take a stylist who knows what they’re doing. My salon does a few “ethnic” clients but we don’t do weaves or chemical straighteners. Mostly cuts, color and style outs.

This goddamstoopid article has been running at least once a year in some goofy form or other in the MSM since the late 1960's. Slow news day? "Let's see, we already ran the {Man Bites Dog}....I know, let's do the African-American Hair Story!~" We already had Black History Month, let's go for Black Hairstory Month.

O-so-culturally-sensitive. Just be aware that if any African-American of any age has a bad hair day, it is George Bush's Fault. Good News, though! It can be solved with Federal Funding if the Rich Pay Their Fair Share!

Anybody see my do-rag?

Or alternately, you could redirect your energies into exposing and refuting that ridiculous concept.

Heck, I’m a white chic and I need advice on caring for my kinky hair. I got it from my dad who kept his hair cut high and tight, but my mom and her family has stick straight hair. She didn’t have a clue what to do with it.

[faucetman]

This is a spoof right? This isn’t a serious story is it?

[yldstrk]

When I needed to assist my mixed race niece with her hair when she was about 6, I just asked the first black lady I saw at the drugstore in the hair care section. “Pink Lotion” was big back then.

“People are judged by the way they look”-

That should say “ I judge people people by the way they look” , Mr. Julien. Fair enough?

[momtothree]

We know one married couple (a man and woman) who adopted two black children. They simply wanted to be parents and we live in a state where that is acceptable. That being said, they did their homework. For example, black babies/children need more moisture in their skin so they used baby oil a great deal. They also found a beauty and barber shop visited by blacks mostly and talked to the owner. They were welcomed and they never had a problem with hair breakage etc... They are wonderful parents and the kids are now healthy, smart teens. Their son is a fantastic hockey player (yes, I said HOCKEY) and colleges are already snooping around for possible future scholarships. Just a thought.

" They argue that parents not of the same race are unable to provide adequate cultural understanding and experience to prepare a child of a different race to navigate society."

Considering what passes for "culture" in the black hoods of this country, I'd say that it is a good thing. As far as navigating society, if you are raised not having the "whitey holdin' us down" mentality drilled into your head, you have a much better chance in life.

Take a pair of scissors, with the thumb in one hole and the index finger in the other hole. Move the scissors close to the subjects head. Engage the hair you want to cut in between the two blades of the scissors. Close the scissors by moving your thumb (still inserted in one of the holes), to meet the index finger (still inserted in one of the holes), thus cutting the hair engaged between the two blades of the scissors. Repeat this procedure until the amount of unwanted hair is removed.

How about they do an article about birth control and self control and maybe there would be less adoptions and more responsibility? While they are at it looking at the one couple, they may want to throw in some nutrition advice.

After looking at Bozo and how he turned out, I wonder how the kids Julien and Brandon have adopted will turn out, Lord help us. It’s stuff like this that makes some think about pro-choice as maybe the lesser of two evils.

Sorry but I dont see gay adoption as a family value. There is a reason two gays don’t reproduce.

I cant wait to see the liberal “studies” showing the kids grow up “normally” from this environment./s are we at end times?

[Jeff Chandler]

This reminds me of the time 30 years ago when I was dealing with a shipment of nasal spray. I saw the label “Afrin” and thought it was an ethnic hair care product.

I’m pretty sure gay people are allowed to use Google.
