I'm True Blonde, Hear Me Roar

August 03, 2004

The Internet is a soap box, and sometimes it gets a little slippery. Witness the site Blonde From Birth. Webmaster Carole Cox is on a mission:

...to spread awareness of blond haired people and increase their rights in today's society. We have goals of promoting awareness and of ending the racist stereotypes of blondes that the Media propagates with the assistance of hair dye companies.
Up to now the fakes get the press while we are muted....Our society has the increasing need to promote the image of the sex-freak, dope-head, or ‘passive person’. Unfortunately, the common symbol that has been chosen for these groups is Yellow Hair. This has created a burden upon those 'blond from birth people' who do not want to be seen as members of the weirdo club.

Uh, tell it, Goldilocks! And let's not forget the enviro-carnage, either.

The disposal of billions of bottles of hair dye down the drain is polluting the water systems of the Earth on a large scale. The ingredients in hair dye are basic industrial solvents that have no business on someones’ head. Hydrogen peroxide was used by the Nazis as rocket fuel, not as a cosmetic! It is hazardous waste and should be treated as such.

Then, an impasioned summation, and an ameliorative public policy initiative.

Our world is corrupt, and corruption and sex freaks seem to go together. The spread of the sex freaks is an indicator to the spread of Corruption. Fight the dye-jobs and fight corruption at the same time.
If that is too much to ask, at least change the symbol. If you are a prostitute, you can use green hair (the color of money). Homosexuals can have pink (it’s festive and fun), while bimbos can use blue (like their frozen brains). Pop stars can choose from any of the above combinations.

I think that about covers it. Except to note that if you click through to this essay at the site you'll find a derogatory term for gays.

95% of the world is Brunette.

Most of these people are obsessed with Blondes.

This is not the fault of Blondes.

In order to appear to be as superior as they think Blondes are they bleach themselves.

According to Clairol's last count 40% of American women are fully bleached and have ASSUMED the name Blonde.

This puts Blondes in a FORCED association with Bleached Brunettes.

We simply don't want to be associated with them. We are an extremely tiny COLOUR minority and all we want is our basic human right; the right to DIGNITY no matter what our HUMAN colour, race or ethnic origin.

Human rights to do not extend to PRODUCT coloured people like Bleached Brunettes.

Product coloured people are inherently undignified just as human coloured people are inherently dignified.
