Over zealous fan tries to snatch Beyonce's weave during a concert

I am seriously trying to figure out what happened to black chicks hair over the last 2 decades.

When I was growing up, girls had their own hair. What the fuck happened? It is hard to find a black girl with her own hair.

Even my dad wants to go into the fake hair business.

It's not that rare. Most of the black women I know and in my family wear their hair naturally.
 
A disguise of unbelievable quality.


dominant culture/ethnic aesthetics. which is a bummer, because of all the black chicks I've known/seen, their natural hair just... works?

I'm taking about just the lack of health. I think many girls have no choice but to weave something in because the natural hair is so unhealthy. When those weave come off, it's just thick disgusting excuse of hair... I wonder if it's poor diet, or maybe like you say maybe dominant culture leads to a lack of pride and self care?

It's not that rare. Most of the black women I know and in my family wear their hair naturally.

It is definitely notable though. A % would be controversial, but I could come up with a round number for sure. I could not do that for other culture/race.
 
I have to drive past this monstrosity every morning

Breakin my heart. Why Beyonce, why?

This explains it.

I was really bored the other day, so on a whim I decided to pull up PepsiCo's Q1 results for 2013. The results were interesting. This part in particular:

In the other, 35% of the LRB category that’s CSDs, about 17 points are made up of colas and about 18 points are made up of flavored CSDs. Within flavored CSDs, Mountain Dew continues to perform well significantly outperforming the overall CSD category and gaining four-tenth of a share point in the quarter bolstered by the launch of Kickstart, and the momentum of Kickstart continued into April. However, the cola category continues to be a challenge. We took pricing in this declining category and continued to invest in R&D to break some of the compromises that caused consumers to leave the cola category. While this work progresses, we are managing the business responsibly and profitably. We are supporting Pepsi with package and product innovation to drive price realization and investing appropriately in A&M.

TL;DR: Carbonated beverages is the only category in which PepsiCo has been under-performing. In fact, performance in that category in on steady decline, with consumers actively fleeing pepsi cola beverages. What could explain this, especially when the company is doing so well in other categories?

Pepsi, you know what needs to be done.
 
Before reading the writing on that pepsi sign, I was thinking "why is amanda byne on that pepsi sign..."

Then I read the text over her.


:O
 

It's a ridiculous weave, and I'm disappointed that 99.5% of all black females in media have weaves. Obviously people are free to dress and prep however they want, but it sends a negative message to young black girls when their hair is seen as ugly or not worth taking care of. No wonder so many are losing their hair once they reach their early 40s: years of unhealthy chemicals and weaves that strain at the roots.

And with Beyonce she's been lightening her image for years...

I don't like how bleached she is on every part of that billboard. She's whiter than the building in front of her. Everything about it screams 'fake' and 'stop being black.'

That's horrible. I know a lot of little black girls who look up to her, too.
