Only in America can a young poor black boy grow up to be an old rich white woman.

That sounds funny. It’s too bad no one has a sense of humor anymore.

Well this is new. Black people didn’t have “fros?” White people like Greg Brady didn’t have “fros?” I guess Angela Davis was a racist. She even wore black face...

Unbelievable!

People are so thin skinned and humorless. Woke companies are nuts, too, because they will fall all over themselves if only one person complains.

I remember people referring to it as “big hair”

and yes there were some black dudes sporting afro’s in tv and movies, even in real life but there were just as many other men and women sporting their big hair.

There were so many beautiful women with big hair.

(I can prove this with period print magazines that cannot be edited as easily as the web. )

In fact none of women shaved half their hair off.
