Black voice here. Let me be direct and say that there is no racism on display here, only a pretty fursuit. And while differing hair textures may result in differing hairstyles from one culture to another, I believe that everyone should be allowed to explore looks like these.

Hey guys, I wanna bring your attention to someone that’s being incredibly racist in the community. ❗️DO NOT SUPPORT @Xx_Nymeria_xX ❗️ Many folks, including black voices, have reached out to her to inform her that her hair choice for her suit is cultural appropriation. https://t.co/gtJp7VvRil

Glenn Beck responds to Dave Rubin’s big news:

Glenn Beck @glennbeck

Tonight, I have a hard & honest conversation with my friend and fellow @BlazeTV host @RubinReport about his decision to have kids through surrogacy. He tells me "I get why the right has these often legitimate fears." But that CAN'T stop us from having respectful discussions.
