### edit, some think the camera happened to.land on the black woman when the comment was made. Not sure

1. It's amazing how

these individuals seem to forget that others can actually hear what they are saying...

2. whenever there are threads on this there are people who dismiss it

and say it's not important or worth being upset over.

but this was said in public but think of how much it goes on in private. whenever there are black women or girls who do wear natural hair and especially if they don't tie it down there will be people who complain.

there was a case of a little girl who was suspended from school over it.

3. We had a thread about the few black women with natural hair on TV last week

Institutional racism is live and well

6. I don't see anything wrong with her hair

But that bag is awful!

4. She's pretty damn hot.

That hairstyle suits her well.

5. Remember some of the comments people made when Obama won Iowa in 2008?

People were cruel about Sasha's and Malia's hair that night.

7. As a black woman, and an online shopper for the past 25 years

I think this is much ado about nothing. I clicked on the link and listened to the comment myself and I had to laugh out loud. Seriously people? Seriously??? This was typical show host banter and I believe her when she says that she wasn't directing it at the model, who is quite attractive by the way, hair and all.

For those of you out there who are outraged, or offended, get a grip on your outrage meter.

8. Thank you. I was getting

ready to post something similar.

9. Now she's been officially educated and I'd bet the farm she won't do it again

And will more than likely THINK about what flies out of her mouth and the possibility someone may take offense.

I'm also a black woman. I wanted to throttle that foolish woman with her own hideous bag.
