Willing to start an Exchange Immigrant Program.

Their blacks for ours. Trade.

Spot on. The majority of those raised here seem to have been psychologically poisoned against “whitey.” Their misery is self-inflicted.

I had no idea this was a thing.

But I’ll tell you what….in the ‘80s EVERYONE was touching my “white” hair. I had 2-3” spikes. All races loved to pat the top of my head. Had to do it when I was sitting because I was taller than most.

blacks must walk further to get their hair products at a drug store..

Why don't they just go to the nearest Ulta store and steal it like they are doing in California? They may have to walk a bit further but it is free.

Can’t wait for February to be done with.

Claim from article:

The enslavement of Africans in America began in the 1500s.

Some slaves were sent to Brazil and the Carribean areas, but not the territory of the United States. No colonies there except for the one in North Carolina which disappeared without a trace. So bad history. More importantly, virtually all those picked up by slave ships had been enslaved by Africans in Africa.

The hospital I work in this rank with this garbage. “Equity’’, Diversity’’, “Inclusion’’ “LGBT”” and issues of ‘’Black health’’.

It makes me sick. In the three years I’ve worked in this hospitals ER I’ve never seen anyone, black, brown, white, pink or purple denied treatment because of their race.

It’s not only patently immoral and evil it’s illegal.

Lots of space in Africa

Did you use gelatin? We spiked a friend’s hair in college, I think that’s what we used

Nobody I know has the slightest desire to touch the hair.

Because of "blak culture's" incessant whining and entitlement, I have no desire to even be in their company. And when I vacillate on that, I remind myself that 98% of blax voted for O'Dummy. Twice.

[the OlLine Rebel]

Tomorrow, dear, tomorrow.

I just saw a BLM-style display at Target in the clothes section about “black history month”. Calmed myself thinking, tomorrow they’ll tear it down.

[the OlLine Rebel]

They like to schmooze that because the entire hemisphere is “America”. Thus can disingenuousLy apply it to the US, or even the colonies it came from.

Hair gel. Yes I used some, but I finished it with Paul Mitchell Fast-Drying Sculpting Spray. Would dip upside down to straighten the hair up there and run gel or spray thru. Use the Mitchell to this day, the best hair spray.

[Albion Wilde]

Someone I know wears her hair like Annie Lennox, the British rocker, once did:

She says people of many ages and all races out in public ask to touch her hair, that it looks sharp but feels soft, and that many black people are fascinated by the style and admire it.

One of the hardest things about being a minority is that you often don't realize that your experiences aren't necessarily unique to your racial, sexual or ethnic group.

In other words, get over yourself. Every group has good and friendly folks and also jerks and aholes. Go for the good stuff and ignore most of the rest.

True. “Beware the fury of a patient man’’.
