Anne Lamott.

She's written about her dreads and her church has no problem with her hairstyle. This is IMO much ado about nothing.

Judge not...

It's not silly for her to feel the way she does. You or I don't have to agree with how she feels but her feelings are valid.

When he started to leave, she should not have touched him.

Oh good grief.

Let's all dig deep to find a way that this fellow's bad hair microaggresively provoked this poor woman. He should be reported to the university race-relations authorities immediately, and a committee formed to examine on-campus hair microaggression. The resulting hair sanctions and new enlightened terminology can be used to inform a national conversation on this all-too-often overlooked societal injustice.

Or maybe she was just suffering culturally-appropriated Dreadlock Privilege with a dash of macroaggression.

This important issue certainly demands further study and attention.

Cool

Actually, the Village People were supposed to represent the most popular gay stereotypes at the time.

And if she was upset, went home and wrote an article or blog post about it, that would have been fine. Verbally and physically assaulting some random person is NOT fine and having experienced it myself, this video made me extremely upset to watch.

You created a new identity just to say that to me? You might as well have said it under your real name, as there's no screen name on this site which means anything to me.

I thought the use of the phrase "might could" when criticizing someone else's writing pretty much negated the validity of the post.
