Courts in England are reportedly looking to scrap the requirement for barristers to wear traditional wigs amid claims that they discriminate against lawyers with “Afro-Caribbean hair”.

You can bet it wasn’t black people who came up with this idea, but whites full of white guilt.

Guilt? Pride in their virtue-signalling is more like it.

WHEN MY HORSES’s mane/tail starts looking like that, I USE ‘COWBOY MAGIC’ on it to brush it all out.

I think originally the wigs were to cover scalps shaved clean to avoid lice....

All you have to do is check out the floor covered in afro wigs after a chimpout. There are hundreds of chimpout videos on youtube.
