Almost exactly four years ago this week, I, terran, your resident onery lurking black dreadlocked atheist commie mommy, wrote a diary about why some [white] people feel entitled to touch black people's hair. The diary got some rather controversial responses, as most topics on race do here at kos and everywhere else.
I warned everyone not to touch President Obama's hair, in the off chance that he actually became the President. And you got close enough to touch his hair.
I have since retracted my blanket statement. Some people, if they ask nicely, are allowed to touch the President's hair. Are even encouraged to do so.
