   Sorry, my laughter has to do with what I’ve heard so many times that I could actually vomit with rage…

   The choice many black women make to alter their hair’s natural texture has undeniable historical and psychological underpinnings. It has been attributed to everything from a history of oppression and assimilation to media-influenced notions of beauty

    Or it could be that women like changing how their hair looks.

    Say, that would also explain why white women get perms, dye their hair, etc.

    Her job paid $400,000 after Obama got the government to “grant” her hospital employer a few million dollars. Afterwards, she got a nice $200,000 raise. All due to her expertise, no doubt. Maybe she had a really good hair day. No one knows.

    I quit reading Time about 8 years ago after as it had sunk to such shallow and biased coverage there was rarely any serious news or interesting commentary. However I was in a waiting room several week ago and picked it up to pass time. As shallow and biased as it was several years ago I was amazed to see it had reached even new lows. I could get more serious news out of People Magazine for Teens and and more balanced analysis from a DNC press bulletin. Who would pay to read this tripe? It is sad to see this once great magazine, which actually provided some interesting reading 25 years ago, reduced to an Oprah Winfrey version of news coverage.

    Just yesterday I was thinking how vacant America is with this first lady michelle obama and what could have been.

    I was never sold on McCain BUT Cindy McCain would have visited a dozen countries and most probably helped half a million people in America and around the world by now. REAL HELP.
    Actually, she might have still helped thousands since January, we just don’t know about it, haven’t been told about it by the obamedia.

    Cindy McCain would have been one of the best First Lady’s we’ve ever seen…instead we get ’shorts, hair, not proud of America, racial card playing-tint with every possible subject PLUS, more mean and corrupt baggage than Samsonite had bags.

    Geeee, thanks.

    The donk media’s state of willful denial and wishful thinking reminds me of Christopher Reeve in the 1980 movie “Somewhere in Time”: trying to will himself backward in time by repeating to himself:

    “It IS the year 1912! It IS the year 1912! It IS the year 1912…”
    
    – Just replace “the year 1912″ with “Camelot” and there is no difference in either the media’s intent or the pathetic state of mind behind it.

    I’m neither high maintenance nor superficial: I’m a black woman. My focus on hair feels like a birthright. It is my membership in an exclusive, historical club, with privileges, responsibilities, infighting and bylaws that are rewritten every decade.

    Not once when I’ve seen an image of our First Lady has it been lost on me that she is also a member. I don’t see just an easy, bouncy do. I see the fruits of a time-consuming effort to convey a carefully calculated image. In the next-day ponytail, I see a familiar defeat.

    huh?!?!

    Fashion and the way people look is for the brain dead.

    Thanks for changing the subject. It’s nice to know you’re now juggling multiple threads with the same technique.

    Personally, this woman is ugly inside and out. Just another racial pimp playing it up for the cameras. If this woman is any more loving than Hillary Clinton was to her own daughter, I’ll be shocked.

    Honestly, I don’t get why people suddenly qualify fashion as a factor in someone’s favorability and suitability for role model status. How fake can you get?

    Their desire is paradoxical. The “chattering-class” minority victimites insist that we whites (us whites?) go color-blind and consider them “equals”. The first thing we must do in order to accomplish that is to recognize that they are “people of color” and try to treat them equally. It can’t be done. It’s like saying to someone, “don’t think of x”. Well, it isn’t possible to think of x in order to then not try to think about it. Militant minorities who demand this and that are not interested in “equality”. They are interested in money, influence, power, and control.
