It’s the latest buzzword among the race-baiters. I first read about it a couple of months ago in a National Post article about McGill University disciplining a student for the “act of racial microaggression” after he posted an Obama joke online. I’d link the article but it’s behind a paywall.

Wikipedia has a pretty good definition at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microaggression

Mmmmmm...lotion. I use it all over my body, too, and I’m fish belly white. My skin is soft and I smell like flowers.

People shouldn’t wash their hair everyday - doing so strips all the natural oils out and unless you’re a chimney sweep or something - there’s no need to. I wash my hair about once every three months or maybe 4 times a year


Also shampoo strips the oils. Using only conditioner has become very popular.

Microaggression is a term coined in the 1970s by Chester Pierce, an African-American psychiatrist at Harvard. It's been one of the main areas of psychiatric research since around 2007.

Somewhere, I have a link to a microaggression site that's been around for several years. As you scroll down, bubbles pop up with complaints of microaggression.

There aren't enough facepalm photos on the Internet to read that website for five minutes.

Breckinridge. Oh man! There’s a bar across the street that’s awesome.

Has a glass walkin humidor and just a great environment.

Don’t know the name. Just know where it is and a restaurant down the street, in a Victorian, that makes excellent breakfast

I am sure hotel guests appreciate smelling and sliding on the lotion you left behind. . .soaked into the mattress.

That’s why it seems to me that most people (especially most people with more than an inch of hair) pack what they need or prefer while traveling....

Who cares about those long haired hippy freaks?

I've been bald since I was 23.
