I would advise you not to articulate your race-based preferences BainsBane Aug 2013 #55

it is not race based at all, you are confused, it is hair based quinnox Aug 2013 #60

Unnn, isn't halle berry mixed?! uponit7771 Aug 2013 #52

well, looks like Halle Berry calls herself "Black" - maybe you should take it up with her quinnox Aug 2013 #54

Halle is biracial, and that affects her hair texture. kwassa Aug 2013 #68

QUINNOX, you do realise that Halle Berry is biracial and not indicative of most people Ecumenist Aug 2013 #80

Your twisting of my words into meanings that are unintended and purely imaginary has grown tedious quinnox Aug 2013 #67

What I'm doing is to ask you to think about how your words have been received BainsBane Aug 2013 #75

Well, since you said you like erm, "SHORT" hair on women, what about TWA--TEENY, WEENY AFROS? Ecumenist Aug 2013 #81

I used to get my hair "pressed" when I was a girl but NEVER with an iron but a HOT COMB. Ecumenist Aug 2013 #83

That might have been what it was BainsBane Aug 2013 #84

Yeah, I understand. It probably was a hot comb. Do you remember her mom oiling Ecumenist Aug 2013 #85

No BainsBane Aug 2013 #86

Aww, that's too bad. I know that white women sometimes literally IRONED their hair Ecumenist Aug 2013 #87
