[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This whole thread is crazy town.

OP has to be a troll, who thinks of this nonsense.[/quote]
This entire thread is full of trolls. 
Let's just be honest here...Black women have been straightening their hair since the days of Madam C.J. Walker (look it up). Is that White appropriation? No. White folks can do whatever they want to do their hair. It's not something to get riled up about. We've got plenty of other things to deal with regarding race. As Black people, we need to focus on the important issues...this isn't one of them. When we focus of stuff like this, the "real" stuff gets overlooked.[/quote]

If this thread is a good indication, it's not black people that are focused on frivilous issues.

But this does illustrate why white people can have such a rough time being (and I hate this term) "good allies."  There is so much ill informed and clueless condemnation in the white community about meaningless issues that make white people walk on eggshells. Fellow white people, worry less about the political correctness of your kindergartner's braids and worry more about why your workplace seems to promote white people faster or why you instinctively look at the Great Schools demographics chart.[/quote]

Mmm, don't look instinctively at the Great Schools demographics chart, look instinctively at the grade so my kid doesn't go to a sh*thole school.  Maybe less projection next time, but your points are otherwise well made.[/quote]
