Jeans are a white person thing. Blacks shouldnt wear them. Same with cars, internet etc.

Not sure why the wig is being defined as an afro wig. A lot of white people with curly thick hair grows that way. Either way this is nothing more then the news trying to insert laughter into their programing. Businesses need to stop letting domestic activist terrorist control them.

That wig is identical to Howard Sterns hair. I have never in my life seen a black person with hair like that.

I'm just wondering where we stand now on getting dark tans, listing to rap, hip-hop, and talking jive. Are we still allowed to do that or would that too be racist and grounds for being fired for emulating black people! Good god, doesn't anyone on this planet have any sense of humor anymore? These people better sue the station's asses off.

Black women are the queens of wig wearing. Why do they get to culturally appropriate other women's hair?

The literal "Queen Bee" (aka Beyonce) lightened her skin in order to look more white. Straight blonde hair + pale skin = white lady.

If the USA were really a "brutal white supremacist country" - or even just moderately serious - an illegal immigrant chasing a damn Senator into her bathroom stall would be deported immediately

Virtually no blacks have afros anymore.
Maybe.... and being generous here... 1% of blacks keep their natural hair. Especially women.

Having said that... am I the only one who doesn't get the weatherman putting on a curly wig to celebrate the end of a heatwave??
Not getting the connection
