What is truly disappointing is that there are (presumably) adults who are "traumatized" by this silly stunt.

That would be the fellow with the puppet on top, yes? The guy in the lower pic looks a bit like a young Robert De Nero

Didn't this afro wearing fellow get his start in the 70's as well?

My Mom had an afro in the 70's.


(Couldn't find the original, so I just took a screenshot on the phone. Sorry about the poor quality.)

Fast forward to last year, I jokingly told a co-worker that I was going to grow an afro and he said it was misappropriating black heritage... He's black and racist. so.....

I agree. WTF is wrong with people that they get traumatized by this stuff. Hell, Bob Ross had this hair style up until his death, but I am sure there were people that probably complained about that.

It was not uncommon to see people of all races with a fro BITD, but I guess everything is racist now days...

We USED to tell jokes, make fun of each other, be sarcastic, and be friends having each others backs anyway. In fact we thought it was good times and funny as hell.

Dunno what the hell happened....

What happened was that some people decided that "winning" was more important than civilization itself.
