Alas. This isn’t the case everywhere. There are cases of black girls being sent home over their hair.
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!)
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.The royals would never make a comment to support or deny anything of a political nature the Harkles might choose to support.
Went shopping. Spared no expense! Add what you’d like and FFS! Don’t eat and drink it all tonight, you knuckleheads!!
[/SPOILER ]
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!Alas. This isn’t the case everywhere. There are cases of black girls being sent home over their hair.
Was that a tea set i hear smashing?!?From the BBC
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."
View attachment 1839064
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....
Just saw it too!From the BBC
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.The Huguenots left Europe as they were being persecuted in whichever they came from. We (Brits) benefited from the many skills that they brought with them, particularly their skills in fine furniture making and fabrics. Like many other people over the years.
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.I just saw an interview with Michelle Obama talking about why she never had braids or more natural styles in the White House. She said the topic of her hair and dress was already a distraction from what she was to accomplish regarding kids nutrition. It was a huge scandal when Barack date wear a tan suit. She wanted to pick her battles. She she straightened her hair, wore weaves and wigs. I get it. Little girls today are sent home from school for having natural hair and hair styles. Recently congress tried to pass the CROWN act, a law to people from being discriminated against based on hair texture and styles associated with ethnic/racial background (because it happens) but it failed to pass in the Senate.
Welcome @sassyyankee ooooh I can’t wait to see if your prediction is correct.Hi, this is my first real post. I have been lurking for many months and have come to think of this group as bar friends. Friends I would love to go to the pub with and have a few pints while we solve the world’s problems. And by world’s problems, I mean — of course — those of the Royal Family. I am huge fan of the RF but see them with real eyes being an American married to a Brit who has lived in both places. LOVED Diana and watched her wedding at 13 and funeral at 29 and saw her for what she was — little bit of crazy there. The Queen is it, though. Bawled my eyes out when she died and just believe she was the epitome of what the monarchy stands for. By stark comparison, the Overseas Two are not. They are everything I abhor about privilege. In short, they threw away their duty and made the last few years of the Queen’s life needless painful with their whining and whinging. They are liars who practice revisionist history and take no blame for their lives. ARGH. I have repeatedly thrown her out of my gender because she makes hard-working women look stupid with her antics. I admire The P and POW for their hard work and dedication and am just watching with extra butter on my popcorn to see how this train wreck comes to an end. As I am in PR/Communications, I have my prediction written down on a piece of paper and sealed in an envelope. I can’t wait to see if I am correct! Anyway, I will be here with all of you, commenting, hopefully adding something worthwhile (or at least funny) and just hating on the Duke and Duchess of Smegness for basically being lying, deceitful a-holes who were mean to an old lady.
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
