Ticketmaster= Voldemort/Satan/Other most evil people or things

Ticketmaster fills me with unbridled rage, but most of us who enjoy concerts (and in my case, classic rock/metal concerts where I'm pretty much guaranteed that the band will sound good) just put up with it and buy tickets through it anyway

Hi there.

Since ONTD is being a freak

Here is my response to your last post!
Relaxers do make you hair fall out, the chemical process, you're putting lye in your hair! That's not good!
I'm not sure if the process has changed since I was a kid but it definitely didn't look or smell like something that I wanted happening when my mom took me to a salon to see what the 'other girls' that I thought I wanted to be like were having done to their hair.
Hee, a good campaign is a good campaign, make it work and no one will care what you look like!
I love Lady Macbeth, give me a woman with a backbone instead of the 'oh woe is me!' characters any day.
I don't know if there were any black actors but there were a lot of blacks in Elizabeth's court, not a huge amount but definitely enough that you'd think more people would know about it!

Eww that's gross. I'm glad your mum know what's what. Most parents take their kids to do that when they're 12!!! wtf do they hate their kids' hair?!

I may be biased of course, I've always wanted CURLY CURLY hair going every which way and one of my favourite guitarists has long curly hair (Slash from Guns n Roses. He's half black, his mother was idk exactly from where but I think somewhere in the Caribbeans)

Ooh Lady Macbeth! Wearing the pants in the relationship! I love herrr.

Hm, I am a History major (first year) and I've never heard of that, but I have never studied the Elizabethan court specifically. Yes I agree more people should know about this, it's very interesting. Were they seen as actual people or, more like novelties? That would be interesting to study.

I don't think it's so much hate as having it ingrained from slavery on that it's wrong to look like you're black, that the only way to get out of slavery, or be valued was if you could pass as white, or at least as one of the darker European cultures. It's very hard to break out of that mindset, it still exists heavily within the black community now. I've been fetishized because of how dark I am and ostracized as well within the black community. The fact that my mother grew up in the middle of nowhere, and left to travel the world as soon as she could legally instead of staying within the farming community she grew up in was something unheard of in the 60's for young black women or that my father was a Brit who happened to be black always throws other blacks, even now.

Here's a really good article that has a lot of beginner info into Elizabethan Black culture: http://www.odu.edu/ao/instadv/quest/Shakespeare.html

Hope that helps your research!
