I have a friend, who sometimes vote, on a female's hair style, and not on the issues.

He hates Beto though.

I was five and a half years old during the Nixon-Kennedy television debates. My entire family was for Nixon but I said I was for Kennedy. When asked why, I said I liked the way he combs his hair. Sadly, many adults have the same reasoning.

It explain much of Mitt Romney’s success in politics.

Modern media and the 19th Amendmet were not friendly to capable, competent elected officials.

the natural afros of the black civil-rights activists such as Angela Davis. . .

As they say in the Bronx, "Ya funny."

I grew up in the '60s. Do you know how many welfare dollars and hours of work by black-hair specialist-barbers and hairdressers went into teasing and coating those individual strands of hair to stand on end as if the wearer of the 'fro had stuck his finger into a light socket?

"Natural" was always a difficult thing to fake.

“Do you know how many welfare dollars and hours of work by black-hair”

Afros can be any worse than hair weaving. I guess it takes hours and hours, and then I can’t see that lasting for more than a couple of weeks before you have to go back and get it “tightened up”.
