WHAT

Kristen just told me about Macheezmo Mouse making a comeback

In high school I was fascinated by its continually abandoned downtown location on Salmon St: HOW DID THEY STAY IN BUSINESS? I remember it fondly as my first “Is this a front?” business curiosity.

What!!!!!
Yeah dude, the MM of our HS era was only a shadow of its past glory. It was one of my favorite restaurants as a kid. Cactus cooler!

“So like, right now for example. The Haitians need to come to America. But some people are all, “What about the strain on our resources?” Well it’s like when I had this garden party for my father’s birthday, right? I put R.S.V.P. ‘cause it was a sit-down dinner. But some people came that like did not R.S.V.P. I was like totally buggin’. I had to haul ass to the kitchen, redistribute the food, and squish in extra place settings. But by the end of the day it was, like, the more the merrier. And so if the government could just get to the kitchen, rearrange some things, we could certainly party with the Haitians. And in conclusion may I please remind you it does not say R.S.V.P. on the Statue of Liberty. Thank you very much.”

Mr Hall? How can I answer that? The topic is Haiti and she’s talking about some little PARTY.

From Univision:

“Can I touch your hair?”

It’s a question that makes many black women cringe and one they hear all too often from non-black folks. 

The white fascination and black frustration inherent to these encounters peaked the interest of sisters Antonia and Abigail Opiah who run a website devoted to hair called un’ruly (the pair are all too familiar with the question.)

Antonia wrote a blog for The Huffington Post on the topic, and the sisters decided to organize a public art exhibition aiming to spark a dialogue about and satire the phenomena. 

On Thursday afternoon, three black models with natural hair held signs in New York City’s Union Square that read “YOU CAN TOUCH MY HAIR. The event has been fairly contentious  on Twitter, with some critics likening it to a “slave auction” or a “petting zoo.”

But, Julee Wilson, the Style & Beauty Editor at HuffPost BlackVoices attended the event, describing it as an interesting “social experiment.” While in attendance, a white woman asked Wilson if she could touch the editor’s hair. Wilson made an exception, she said, in the spirit of the art exhibit’s experiment. 

“This was not an open invitation for white people to go around touching black peoples’ hair from now on,” Wilson said.

“It was almost like a public service announcement, like okay you can touch my hair today, but don’t come up any other day and ask to touch my hair, or I will tell you why this is wrong in the first place,” she added. “But get it out of your system today, and tell your friends.”
