BG: Beyonce Cuts Off Her Hair-Probably She Wants To Tell Black Women It Is Time To Let Go The Weave
Posted: 08 Aug 2013 06:17 AM PDT
Is Beyonce trying to tell black women something? I doubt so since that will make her a hypocrite…
After having rocked weaves all her life, Beyonce has shocked fans by cutting off her hair—-trying to find a new identity with short hair.
She looks great with the short hair though. I guess you are saying, what won’t she look great in…right?
Maybe she is doing this to compensate for how long that album has taken—fans are still waiting.
Whatever it is, this is a positive message to black women from an icon….Let’s give the weaves a bPosted: 09 Aug 2013 12:12 AM PDT
Will racism ever be completely eradicated? I thought so but with the right attitude and strength to fight, we can make it stick with the few whose conscience my have no empty space to accept the fact that; all human beings are equal, no matter the skin colour…
According to BBC;
US talk show host Oprah Winfrey says she was the victim of racism during a recent visit to Switzerland.
She said an assistant refused to serve her in an upmarket handbag shop in Zurich.
Winfrey, one of the world’s richest women, was apparently told the bags on display were “too expensive” for her.
Her claims, made to a US television programme, come amid a political row over plans by some Swiss towns to ban asylum-seekers from some public places.
The BBC’s Imogen Foulkes in Berne says human rights groups have likened the plans – which include banning asylum-seekers from swimming pools, playing fields and libraries – to apartheid.
ProofWinfrey, who stars in Lee Daniels’ new film The Butler, visited Zurich last month to attend singer Tina Turner’s wedding. The Oprah Winfrey Show is not shown in Switzerland.
Winfrey said she left the shop calmly without arguing, but that the experience was proof that racism continues to be a problem.
“There’s two different ways to handle it,” she said.
“I could’ve had the whole blow-up thing… but it still exists, of course it does.”
Her claims are a public relations disaster for Switzerland, our correspondent says.
About 48,000 people are currently seeking asylum in Switzerland. It has twice as many asylum seekers as the European average.
Officials say the curbs, which will also see asylum-seekers housed in special centres, are aimed at preventing tensions with residents.
The country’s asylum laws were tightened in June.
OBS: UK’s Home Office Vans Telling Illegal Immigrants To ‘Go Home’ Is Being Investigated By Advertising Watchdog After 60 Complaints

Few weeks ago, we published that UK’s Government is pushing it hard with the bid to take control of the country’s immigration problems—and the Government seems to be getting desperate with its tactics…
The Government has resulted to a gimmick to get illegal immigrants to leave the country by mounting, “go home or face arrest” mobile billboards—to push illegal immigrants out of the country…
60 complaints have been brought against the above billboards which have led UK’s advertising watchdog-Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) to open investigation to look at their operations.
Investigation has started because of 60 complaints in a country of over 60 million people? I guess the system works….
