Okay, parts of this made me LOL. Listen, I'm Black and know never to touch her hair. Another reason is that culturally, our hair is tied to African values of honor. Another reason is that white people used to do that during Jim Crow & prior. Another reason is that they spend so much time & money on their hair, they don't want nobody messing it up. It's a wonder they ever sleep, trying to prolong the inevitable of having it done again.
You are like me, dude. I could care less who doesn't like me swearing. At least I'm not as bad as I was while in the service. Heard a playback of me talking at an AA conference, and I was embarrassed at the amount of time I spent cussing like a sailor. I did get better and only do it when someone or something irks the shit out of me.
Cussin' and rock throwin' is what we do...gives color to intentions and makes for congenial introductions. Saves time in courtship. Lets us know who our friends are. Want to talk about hair?

Thanks for following me; I followed you back.
I like this! I’m glad you followed me; I’m interested to see what you write next.
As a Navy vet + a black woman...thank you! For both the F***S given and the hair awareness, that is still much needed...Bravo!
