Singer Halsey stirs debate over hotels offering only ‘white people shampoo’ (everything is racism)
Washington post ^

Posted on 04/30/2018 11:18:48 AM PDT by Cubs Fan

“I’ve been traveling for years now and it’s been so frustrating that the hotel toiletry industry entirely alienates people of color. I can’t use this perfumed watered down white people shampoo. Neither can 50% of ur customers. Annoying,” Halsey tweeted to her 9 million followers on April 26.

The 23-year-old said most people missed the point when they suggested black women should bring their own shampoo after a Twitter user said, “So bring your own shampoo.”

“I’m fortunate enough to be financially in a position to do so, but POC traveling frequently for work/medical reasons might not be. Just making a point is all!” Halsey replied.

many Twitter users went to Halsey’s defense and agreed with her sentiments.

“We’re not all millionaires, yet we all do stay at hotels and would appreciate if the shampoo didn’t turn our hair into Brillo pads,” one user wrote.

Another person said, “She’s not saying it to start riots or some s—. You need to remember this is one of the many small things that POC go through that makes them feel like we don’t matter enough to be catered to. It’s a microaggression.”

Hotels could offer black shampoo at the check-in desk - - but then they’d get sued for racism...

"Halsey is a white chick'

A response on Twitter Halsey says, "My dad is black and a little Irish and my mom is Italian and Hungarian!"

As far as her hair, I don't think any shampoo will fix what she does to it:

You can’t expect a hotel to offer two different kinds of shampoo on the off chance that a POC might stay in the room.

Instead, they should set aside 13% of their rooms especially catering to POC tastes - special shampoo and soaps, TV channels to their taste, even a separate room service menu.

No, wait...that would still be cost prohibitive.

Instead, since the POC are offended by all things white, we should have entire separate, but equal, hotels where the cleaning staff are all white, the food is to their tastes, the entertainment is aimed at POC, etc.

Of course, this would be segregation...

I have platinum blonde hair. I take my own purple shampoo wherever I go. I also take my own conditioner.
I think hotels should provide purple shampoo or it’s racist.

I usually use purple Bed Head which is kind of expensive. I want them all to stock it just in case I stay there.

Wow, I knew that there specially formulated shampoos for blacks, I never knew that all other shampoos where just made for WHITEY! Hey friggin cry baby, do what other normal people do, bring your own shampoo if you don't like what the hotel supplies.

I'm am so tired of @#!&%$#**&! elitist Ni@#$%%^!@ that demand above and beyond what the norm is just because they were born Black!

So what are the hotel employees supposed do when someone calls for a reservation, ask what color they so they can be treated special, or have housekeeping race up to the room and remove all traces of White products and Blackify the room?

These lyrics are apparently ok in 2018. Parents that let their kids listen to this and worse should not be parents.

G-Eazy & Halsey - Him & I (LYRICS)

Cross my heart, hope to die
To my lover, I'd never lie
He said "be true", I swear I'll try
In the end, it's him and I
He's out his head, I'm out my mind
We got that love, the crazy kind
I am his and he is mine
In the end, it's him and I, him and I

My '65 speeding up the PCH, a hell of a ride
They don't wanna see us make it, they just wanna divide
2017 Bonnie and Clyde
Wouldn't see the point of living on if one of us died, yeah
Got that kind of style everybody try to rip off
YSL dress under when she takes the mink off
Silk on her body, pull it down and watch it slip off
Ever catch me cheating, she would try to cut my (ha-ha-ha)
Crazy, but I love her, I could never run from her
Hit it, no rubber, never would no one touch her
Swear we drive each other mad, she be so stubborn
But, what the fuck is love with no pain, no suffer
Intense, this shit, it gets dense
She knows when I'm out of it like she could just sense
If I had a million dollars or was down to ten cents
She'd be down for whatever, never gotta convince (you know?)

Cross my heart, hope to die
To my lover, I'd never lie (I love you, baby)
He said "be true", I swear I'll try
In the end, it's him and I
He's out his head, I'm out my mind
We got that love, the crazy kind
I am his and he is mine
In the end, it's him and I

Him and I
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh
In the end, it's him and I
Him and I
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh
In the end, it's him and I

We turn up, mobbin' 'til the end of time
Only one who gets me, I'm a crazy fuckin' Gemini
Remember this for when I die
Everybody dressed in all black, suits and a tie
My funeral will be lit if I
Ever go down or get caught, or they identify
My bitch was the most solid, nothing to solidify
She would never cheat, you'd never see her with a different guy
Ever tell you different, then it's a lie
See, that's my down bitch, see, that's my soldier
She keeps that thang-thang if anyone goes there
Calm and collected, she keeps her composure
And she gon' ride for me until this thing over
We do drugs together (together), fuck up clubs together (together)
And we'd both go crazy (crazy) if we was to sever
You know? We keep mobbin', it's just me and my bitch
Fuck the world, we just gon' keep getting rich, you know?

Cross my heart, hope to die
To my lover, I'd never lie
He said "be true", I swear I'll try
In the end, it's him and I
He's out his head, I'm out my mind
We got that love, the crazy kind
I am his and he is mine
In the end, it's him and I

Him and I
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh
In the end, it's him and I
Him and I
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh
In the end, it's him and I

Cross my heart, hope to die
To you, I've never lied
For you, I'd take a life
It's him and I, and I swear (ayy)
'Til the end I'ma ride wit' you
Mob and get money, get high wit' you, yeah (ayy)
Cross my heart, hope to die
This is our ride or die
You can confide in me
There is no hiding, I swear
Stay solid, never lie to you
Swear, most likely I'ma die wit' you, yeah

Cross my heart, hope to die
To my lover, I'd never lie
He said "be true", I swear I'll try
In the end, it's him and I
He's out his head, I'm out my mind
We got that love, the crazy kind
I am his and he is mine
In the end, it's him and I

I don’t drink coffee.

But every damn motel or hotel provides a coffee pot and packets of coffee.

I demand my can (or 20 oz bottle) of Diet Mt Dew!

- No, wait, I just bring my own - Never mind...

A response on Twitter Halsey says, "My dad is black and a little Irish and my mom is Italian and Hungarian!"

Perhaps Halsey omitted the fact that her mother was transported up to the Mother-ship to give her an X factor. Something that Farrakhan would identify with.

Like other Total Overcomers, this Cultural Marxist stuff has always brewed delusions from the Unicorn farm. Send them all down the Santa Monica Pier and let them catch the Mother-ship.

Hmmmmm...Blacks are approx 12-13% of the population. Hispanics are 18-19%, Asians 4-5%, Moslems 1-2%.

Just what is the 50% she is referring?

Lord only knows what the outrage would be if soap on a rope were offered!!!
