Tracee (Joan) or whatever you prefer


How long are you going to play this naive yet bright attorney who can't get a man because of issues you have within yourself or the character you play. Can you please tell me who on earth dresses you because you have no sense of style and or taste, let the stilleto's go because you act as though they make your feet hurt and for God's sake please, please get a perm or do something with that hair.

Whoever you are, you really sound like a hater. You have all that to say, but your watching the show. If you think she has no sense of style, it lets us know you can't dress. Most of the things she wears, I'd wear.....AND I am very fashion savvy. And I bet you own not one pair of stilettos, let alone a designer pair. Her hair is beautiful, what's your hair like? If she had a weave, you'd probably have something to say about that also. Stop hating and try to uplift.

I hate to say this, but you must be black. Only a black person would tell another black person that they need to get a perm. I have never heard a white person diss black natural hair. That kinda inner hatred only comes from black people. What the hell is wrong with you? Her natural hair is beautiful, and you are an ignorant fool to get on here and say that she needs to put some *beep* shanasty ass chemicals on her hair. Why does she need to do that? Why would you say that she needs to change the natural texture of her hair? The texture of hair that God made her with. Your a *beep* brainwashed idiot.

Excuse me sir, but from MY experience being a black woman in a white world, I have never heard a white person say anything but positive things about my natural hair. I wear a hair style similar to Tracee's and I have had plenty of black people say negative things to my face about my hair, especially black men. So before you break out the history lesson, please recognize that I am speaking here about MY experiences. Other people I know who wear natural hair styles agree with me. Also, your mini history lesson talks about the reasons WHY black people resent their own beauty and put all these chemicals in their hair, and that is not what I was talking about.

obviously the whole black race doesn't have something bad to say about black hair, hence the reason why I emphasized MY experience. Sorry if I'm coming off as rude. And I guess i should have put that at the end of my last comment, because I predicted that you were gonna go there next.

ok. it's ur own personal experiences that ur comment was based upon.

i just think u should have made sure to say that. alot of ppl here on imdb make generalisations and condemnations on a whole ethnicity/sex based on 1 person. some are just presenting their own personal xperience/ encounters/ situations(as u did) while others really think all are like that bc of 1 that they've dealt with.

when u said that mlw7 "HAD to be AfrAm cuz ONLY AfrAm hate on their own ppl and only AfrAm have that inner hatred"; I really hated those two statements.

the way ur initial comment was seemed 2 me like u were saying all AfrAm ppl have bad things to say about AfrAm hair. reading this most recent comment I clearly see that is not the case.
Re: now u have specified that it is just UR experience
