Apparently for Black people, hair is political and carries a weight of historical meaning.

How's about changing it to Chip on the Shoulder Day, or to even things up, let's have a Mullet Day or a Short Back and Sides Day.

It’s amazing what some people get worked up about these days. Who knew it was World Afro Day?

Furthermore, how could anyone possibly work themselves up into a lather about it?

Crazy times!!!

If not for this thread I'd never have known about this day and its designation.

It's those who complain about it who inadvertently give it the attention.

Seriously, I doubt many people care about this. Apart from the daily fail fan club.

Well ,Adele got a lot of stick for her hairstyle a while back so I'd imagine it would be from those kind of people.
