"If you're hair is relaxed, white people are relaxed. If you're hair is nappy, they're not happy" - Paul Mooney. Hahaha. But seriously, some have derided Chris Rock's upcoming documentary Good Hair as esoteric, silly or even divisive. But in a lot of ways it's a really potent issue, and I'm glad to see it play out in public. Especially with those beautiful black women in the White House. Shoutout to the homey Smilupe.

I'm touched. Black people are going to A. eat this up or B. Boycott Chris Rock. We'll see how it plays out.
