that was powerful and meaningful at the same time. people need to respect her and her words. Slavery and racism are still an issue faced today and her words were very moving. I might not be black, but i respect the plight and the history. She did an amazing job!

@Ladybugatnaf Right, she's getting that perm wash deep condition blah blah, but you'd think the frustration of maintaining the relaxed look would be enough to cause her to rebel against it.
