But, I'm from the caribbean. I think black people will always have to suffer about our hair. I wear my hair similarly, I love it so much. It feels good and is so versatile. Besides its so unique and we also express ourselves by doing it in different styles.But everyone has to say something, (I go to school with people from many countries including the US, india, germany, holland etc) I get sick of it! Why the big fascination, its not a big deal when an indian or a european wear their hair as it grows out of their head/ no chemicals. Maybe next 100 years or so they may get over it. Congress lady you look hot! God bless america! jeeze, I think her hair looks great. But, I’m from the caribbean. I think black people will always have to suffer about our hair.

I think she should be able to wear her hair anyway she likes. He is obviously ignorant to the African American heritage. Natural is in, and will always be in. So he needs to get over it "Cold as Ice" YOu say it is 2006 and the race issue is old news? Yeah right, it is still here. It is called institiutionalized racism. Look it up.

This is 2006. This race issue is old news. Everytime there is conflict in opinion "the Black thing" comes up. Get over it. The people these days that either hate blacks or whites or hispanics or asians will always remain regardless of their race. I live and work with many of different ethnic origins, I know them as people, just like me. And put your flags away too. My mother was a WWII war-bride from the UK, I don't wave a Union Jack, I barely even know what one looks like. We have one flag, 50 stars, 13 stripes.We are all AMERICANS. Get over it. Boortz is just trying to stir people up. It make us think. He's good at it, real good at it. Does he make you think? Obviously so, you've written here. He's media. I'm sure that if they were to meet they would at least put on a fake smile for one another. Even Shake hands....think about its Time to play a different card. This is 2006.
