[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's actually an *incredibly well-known complaint*

No actually it was a CNN article - based on an opinion of a comedian who was talking about a movie by another comedian.[/quote]

Is this in response to my assertion black women don't like random people to touch their hair?  No, you're wrong. It's not just one comedian who has made this complaint.  It's a really extremely well known issue for black women.  Of course not every black women will feel the same way, but there is absolutely no question it's something that bugs a fair number of them.

Just a sampling from online:
