Some boardites are like blondes and cats...

She doesn't. Very few people of African descent have natural blond hair.

I said few....few does not mean NONE. It is not a feature one typically finds in the overwhelming majority of Black people.

In fact, the blonde Melanesians have blonde that is unique solely to them. According to the study in which scientists compared 43 blonde hair islanders to 42 dark hair islanders, blonde Melanesians have a variant of a native gene called TYRP1 that plays an important role in the melanin biosynthetic pathway. This variant is completely separate from what causes blonde hair in Europeans, and doesn’t even exist in the European genetic set.

The blonde hair is natural, heightened by the bleaching effects of sun

Scientists have finally figured out how some of the dark-skinned inhabitants of the Solomon Islands have naturally blonde hair. Researchers used to believe the blonde hair came from interaction with European people, however, a group from Stanford has detected a genetic difference in the blondes. They swabbed the cheeks of 85 people, 43 with blonde hair, to compare their DNA to that of people with darker hair and found a chromosomal difference caused the blonde hair. The researcher identified a change in the gene TYRP1, which affects pigment in humans and mice, as the cause.The scientists consider the effect to be very unique. “The mutation is at a frequency of 26 percent in the Solomon Islands, is absent outside of Oceania, represents a strong common genetic effect on a complex human phenotype, and highlights the importance of examining genetic associations worldwide,” said the abstract of the report.
The team was stunned by their findings. “They have this very dark skin and bright blond hair. It was mind-blowing,” Sean Myles, one of the researchers, told the Daily Mail. “As a geneticist on the beach watching the kids playing, you count up the frequency of kids with blond hair, and say, ‘Wow, it’s 5 to 10 percent’.”

Eimear Kenny, co-author of the study, has similar feelings. “‘Within a week we had our initial result. It was such a striking signal pointing to a single gene — a result you could hang your hat on,” he said. “That rarely happens in science.”

Getting to the main topic. If someone is put on ignore, it's for a reason. Why do people continue trying to speak to people who are ignoring them and have no interest in interacting with them? It does look a little ridiculous don't you think?

Maybe yuh need fi notify dem seh dem deh pan hignore, what happens when yuh put smaddy pan hignore hennyhow?
Does de person pan hignorance get a PM suh dem know what a gwaan?
Does get a text message, phone call, email from Xman ar an admin?
How dis ting really werk, smaddy come explain tuh we jus how it guh nuh
