1922 - Nigerian women create elaborate hair styles by treating the hair with a mixture of red clay, and heavy coconut oil.
When they remove the clay in segments, it leaves the hair in shapes.
my ex, along with all her friends who wear natural hair styles, are all raving about the wonderful things coconut oil does for their hair.
if they spent some time with their history, they would have known a long, long time ago.
yeah, this was some bullshit, but DNA evidence later proved that Abraham Lincoln was of melungeon descent... with melungeons being of African origin; so Abe was the first black president.
so, in essence the man who freed the slaves... freed his own people while thinking he was a white man.
the article which upset a LOT of white people... taken from the huff. post:

This is propagandic bullshit. Coopting and twisting a historical event to push a current cause which spits in the face of that very event.
The same folks that created this meme would turn around and shoot those folks again.
White folks that shot natives saying "don't you dare disarm us".

Einstein, when he arrived in America, was shocked at how Black Americans were treated. “There is separation of colored people from white people in the United States," he said. "That separation is not a disease of colored people. It is a disease of white people. And, I do not intend to be quiet about it.” And, he wasn't.
Although he had a fear of speaking in public, he made all the effort he could to spread the word of equality, denouncing racism and segregation and becoming a huge proponent of civil rights even before the term became fashionable. Einstein was a member of several civil rights groups (including the Princeton chapter of the NAACP).

I agree to an extent. There has never been more sexually explicit coupled with a cavalier attitude toward using and selling drugs in music as there is today. The content played on the radio is pretty much an instruction manual for sex. Not a good look for kids, and it's played at all times of day.
