Alas. This isn’t the case everywhere. There are cases of black girls being sent home over their hair.All the more reason to set a brave example. In all the places I have lived in the USA as an adult, any school would have been sued for sending a little girl home for natural hair. This includes when I was a child, and schools were in the process of intergration . The whole black is beautiful cultural movement helped change the silly notion that only caucausion-ish features were attractive. Then along came Pam Grier, and Leontyne Price (one of the greatest opera singers of the 20th century) and many, many, many others who courageously flaunted their beauty and talent and took no prisoners. I grew up at the end of the whole ''separate but equal' travesty. And yes the stigmas/social mores were terrible. I can't speak for what goes on in other parts of the country, but all the places I have lived as an adult were truly mulicultural with no hair police (sometimes I wish there was a fashion police, however there are days I would definetely be issued a citation).

I’ve NEVER seen this and it’s SOooo sweet! (Stolen so you too, can enjoy the sweetness!)
that video was sooooooo cute----
speaking of corgis, check this out.....
In my opinion, Michelle Obama understood the assignment.
She was the First Lady. Her job was to be the rock of the nation and she did exactly that.
Being the centre of the conversation is unhelpful. If a powerful person walks into the room and the topic of conversation is her/him instead of the issues then she/he has lost the plot. That is one thing that Peg does not understand.
Michelle analysed the situation and made a sophie's choice. Now in her own time, she can wear her hair how she wants to and advocate for her personal causes. I do hope that the US and the world in general start to see all natural hairstyles as a right for women.

I support that. Silence speaks, however, and just like the racism attacks by Haz and Meg, it could be loud. This is why I strongly believe their titles need to be stripped. Maybe they can be suspended due to this issue! If Harry ever apologizes and works again for the family, give him back his title.
Went shopping. Spared no expense! Add what you’d like and FFS! Don’t eat and drink it all tonight, you knuckleheads!!
[/SPOILER ]
What about us plebs?! 
Sara Latham as well.
I don’t have seniority & can’t make that call, but if it were my decision to make? Hell YEAH, you & everyone would be invited! (I’m guessing exceptions are made for special occasions and special plebes!)What about us plebs?!
That's seriously fucked up!
(sigh) Driving home tomorrow and leaving my Dad behind 
We made some great memories this Christmas, but I’m going to bawl my eyes out when Sadie & I head out in the morning. It had been a year since we’d seen each other, and it may be another b4 we see each other again. It’s always tough being so far away from him, but I am SO grateful we had a beautiful holiday!! (No bad weather anticipated, but throw out positive vibes for my 14 hr drive back, please!)

Hugs to you, I loved my da and we are criers/laughers and huggers. I feel for you. I hope you and Sadie have a safe journey home. You can tell a dog anything and never hear it back.

Oh for god sake not this idiot again.."A man who claims to be the secret son of King Charles has broken his silence on Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's Netflix docuseries, claiming it "raises some interesting questions".
Simon Charles Dorante-Day, from Australia, has repeatedly gone viral over his wild claims that he is the biological son of King Charles III and Camilla – and has even pushed for a DNA test to be taken to prove it."

As if KC hasn't got enough on his plate, up pops Simon, "Camilla's love-child!"....
ETA Why is he commenting on the Stoat docuseries? They are nothing to do with him and he can't know anything about them.
ETA 2 If IF he is C&C's son, he will share DNA with the Stoat through Charles? Is that right? Hope he doesn't hook up with the Stoats, that would be Armageddon - but odd he's commenting on the Stoat videos.
Is he reaching out (as they say in LA) to the Stoats?
Or are the Stoats reaching out to him via Porker?
Spoke in the wheel here would be if the Stoat turns out to be Hewitt's son. That would leave both our Simon and the Stoat high and dry.Thwarted again....

One set of my cousins are Huguenot descent, they are of a large extended family some of whom still live in the area their ancestors settled in. We have a lovely Huguenot cemetery here.
Of course and all that is completely understandable. I don’t judge anyone for any decisions they make about their hair or any other aspect of their appearance, particularly given societal pressures. I don’t think there is any set way to behave in life either (apart from being honest and decent etc obviously). Date whoever, hang with whoever. It’s their life and it doesn’t impact on anyone.
However, when some obvious shyster who is only ever motivated by their own gain in any situation, uses racism to manipulate their other half, force through a marriage, as an excuse for quitting the RF when money was the obvious motive, and as revenge against them for not getting their utterly corrupt half-in half-out deal, AND IN THE PROCESS THE WHOLE OF THE UK IS LABELLED RACIST then yes I’m going to have some questions about how genuine it all is, or when things don’t add up.
Don’t you think it’s a bit weird that she’s suddenly started slathering on fake tan like a mad woman for public events after years of looking, frankly, pale AF?
Do you think it’s okay for her to obviously utilise the ‘angry black woman’ stereotype to offset numerous detailed accusations of bullying in Valentine Low’s book (which she hasn’t sued over)?
Is it really okay that she talks about being treated ’like a black woman’ with such distaste?
Check out this quote: “Certain people don’t look at me and see me as a Black woman or a biracial woman. They treat me different, differently I think then they would if they knew what I was mixed with. And I think that is ― I don’t know ― it can be a struggle as much as it can be a good thing depending on the people that you’re dealing with,”
It can be a ‘good thing‘ that people treat her differently because they don’t know she‘s black - is that honestly an okay statement to make? Or ‘If they knew what I was mixed with’…?
Maybe I’ve got this all wrong and I don’t know what the duck I’m talking about but I just find it all hugely problematic. She just uses it when it suits her, like everything and everyone.
Welcome @sassyyankee ooooh I can’t wait to see if your prediction is correct.
hahahah… well, she was finally 18 this year so maybe she finally dares to speak for herself (I might be wrong but thought it was her parents until recently). Nevertheless, to stay on topic - I will start to like Greta in a similar convo with gruesome jetsetters.Greta has a sense of humour, who knew
Knauf deserves a Knighthood for having to work with those cunts.
