Re: Brad pitt made racist comments bout Zahara?

Re: Brad pitt made racist comments bout Zahara?

mi no see a problem with the comment as posted. mi might have a problem though if the product im a recommend is some sort of permanent relaxer (oonu know how mi stay areddy on the subject of natural hair). but i doubt it's a cream, caw di baby still young...
