This is what they think is important.

Crucial in fact.

When the grid goes down I’m sure all of these sensitivities that snowflakes have about their low self-esteem is going to take priority over everything else.

Civilization is for the civilized and some folks just cannot handle it.

I just did a quick search, and 24 of 138 hairstyle photos on the first page of results were of black women. That is 17% slightly more than the 13% black percentage of the population. I think I only saw three or four Asian women in the pictures, if that.

Well, I just entered “American Hairstyles” into my google machine and the first thing I got were images of black women. Being a white male, where do I sign up for this discrimination train??

You are 12-15% of the population, and if the current trends of murdering your babies in the womb and each other in the streets continue, that’s all you will ever be. WHY do you need to be “automatically” presented in any search that does not start with “Black”?

automatically if you Google ‘hairstyles,’ a white person comes up.

That's not true. If you enter "hairstyles" in the Google search line, two rows of images come up with the "All" setting. About a quarter of them show black women. I know this because I just tried it.

"Haircuts" brings up mostly white women and girls and an ethnic mix of men.

I did a Google search on "hairstyles" and most of the models who came up were black women. When I typed "black hairstyles" and all of the models were all black, so to see hairstyles for white women with black hair, I had to type "brunette hairstyles."

I also typed in "1929 hairstyles" and saw models who wore their hair like my late girl friend.

I hope these women will be able to feel less discriminated against since the majority of folks don’t care how they wear their hair. I am kinda jealous of black women and all the different things they can do with their hair. Mine...very thin, fine and straight. And I don’t have much of it to work with.

Kindergarten mentality. When your fat ass is starving and bombs are dropping I hope your hair looks like the style on google.

***********************************************************************

Yep, just goggled and, while not a majority, pictures containing black women are over represented (compared to their 13% portion of American women).

Why do blacks insist upon hoaxes and lies that are so easily disproven.

I’ve worked and live around a high concentration of black women, and the various hairstyles are mostly wigs, extensions, and tracks. Very rarely are those their actual hair like it was back in the 90s which required an all day perm process at the salon.
