And here were are, having to listen to Marc Jacobs complain about us being offended. My hair isn't "fashion!!" I can no more change the way my hair grows out of my head than I can my fingerprints.

Hm. Lemme try something... When you interrupt a Black child's school day to send them home, or require them to cut their hair, or change their cultural style, you are telling them that making sure "White Fragility" isn't even remotely challenged is more important than their education. Instead of shaming them for the way God created their skin, hair, and bodies, teach White people that Black children are not here to be tamed, and that cultural differences should be embraced and encouraged. There. I fixed it. Feminists have a funny history of forgetting Black women.
