You might have a different opinion if you read the original exchange. But perhaps not. Something has been lost in translation from my brain through this keyboard to your brain. I'm in complete agreement with you that racism is appalling. @diablita – Thanks for your comments. You might have a different opinion if you read the original exchange. But perhaps not.

I doubt there was ever a time in human history when the majority of people thought murder, pedophila, or racism were moral."- Left Brain Lauri- "Yes. Well. So, about listerine…" Lauri and Left Brain it is nice to know that white AmeriKKKA is still in full force. I am appalled that Left Brain accused Tristan of making up HIStorical fact and of Lauri's dismissiveness. How do both of you feel being ammended into the Declaration of Independence? Do you realize that sisters of color took even longer to be part of the ammendments because our white "sisters" delegated the black sisters to the back of lines so as to not offend the white southern women. Left Brain, I DEARLY suggest before you write that Tristan made up this HIStory you should question the lies in your own belief system. You should question authority, especially your own. I do this daily so I do not forget the struggle that both my ancestors and I have gone through. Left Brain and Lauri must have gotten stuck in AmeriKKKan HIStory classes that dedicated only one paragraph to slavery. Who knows? Left Brain, if you go back far enough you may find a lynched ancestor hanging from your "family" tree then perhaps you would see that Tristan did not make these things up. I believe you owe Tristan and all people of color a BIG APOLOGY. I am shocked that no one else is disturbed with these blatantly racist comments. “You’re just making this up.

Lauri- “Yes. Well. So, about listerine…”

Well. So, about listerine...not necessarily in the quantities used in their formula, but some of the ingredients do have antifungal qualities and I have had success spritzing my son's feet with it to cure his athlete's foot. Listerine and vinegar both. While not as fast as lotrimin or other OTC products, it does work on mild to moderate cases. As for dandruff, a listerine rinse would smell better than a vinegar one, which I read yesterday is supposed to be a good thing for correcting ph on a scalp. Yes. Well.
