Politics of Hair...... dreadlocks on the redcarpet

[franksterr]

Amid criticism for her comments about one star's hair, Giuliana Rancic may want to stick to critiquing the clothing at awards shows.

The E! personality is on the receiving end of backlash over comments she made about Disney star Zendaya Coleman during the network's "Fashion Police" show.
On Sunday night, Coleman appeared on the Academy Awards red carpet in an ivory Vivienne Westwood gown and faux dreadlocks. In a conversation with co-hosts Kelly Osbourne, Kathy Griffin and Brad Goreski, Rancic remarked, "I feel like she smells like patchouli oil ... or maybe weed."

Look I take offense to what was said and also to the fact that it is a fake "dreadlocks" but find it somewhat encouraging that Zendaya was brave enough to wear to should a black tie affair

Now if only Michele Obama would rock an Afro before her Husband leaves Office.

yes i applaud zendaya, even if she stood up for fake locs...she stood up & cast that demon back into the pits of hell

i would not hold my breath about michelle...this is much higher stakes politics & she knows that black america has bowed to white supremacy...& white supremacy would seriously frown on seeing an afro in the WHITE house...and she knows it....so my prediction that i made years ago i still stand by it;
you will never see michelle obama in an afro or any other natural africoid-type hairstyle in her stint as first-lady...
even oprah right now knows she dare not wear an afro...the whole world a bow to di ting....
big respect to the woman dem weh nuh bow to di ting

Give credit where credit is due. They are each doing their part for the struggle. Mrs Obama, may not ever wear an Afro, but she sure does her part to support the race and, to make Black women and Black people proud. There were Afro wearing people in our history, who we know were traitors to the cause.
