italysdivine where do you get off commenting on peoples intellectual capability when you cant even spell truth or racist among other things such as putting a sentence together in such a way it makes some kind of sense. seriously if the best insult you have about somebody is about their hair (especially including the fact that u dont even kno what these ppl look like) then that really says sumthin about how smart you are. get your mind right.
