Does anyone else find the Obama chia pet thing offensive? Like I lightweight feel like the company is tryna be funny. I mean, I know they have George Washington and Abraham Lincoln up there too, but I still feel like the main goal was to make a caricature of our first black president. It feels akin to sambo or blackface. Maybe I'm reading too much into it. Any thoughts?

@Ieisha: i know rite..missed you...just so you know, i too have joined team natural...locking it up as we speak:-)
You've got locs??? *Tiger Woods fist pump*
That's where I'm headed I believe. It's been a little over a year so far with loose natural hair. Next step is locs for me!
Hooray!!!!!
Wait, how you know I was natural? You still been reading?
@Ieisha: i saw a picture post that chronicled your journey on going natural.
and they aren't quite locks yet...just started in october...so it'll be a minute...still in the gel twists phase.
I think most of the chia stuff are more likely poor renderings than purposefully offensive. All of their stuff kind of looks like what they claim but not really. LOL. I know people that want Chia Obama. I don't think it's akin to sambo or blackface but cheap and tacky.
@freaky: thanks...'preciate another viewpoint.
