News anchor tells intern she should probably straighten her hair

To perm or not to perm? That was the question Angela Green, a biracial Greenville, N.C., television anchor, posed to an African-American female intern at her station last week.

The intern didn’t want to straighten her natural curly hair after it was suggested, by someone outside the station, that she consider straightening it for a school project because her natural curls were “distracting.”

The intern’s curls were bigger than Beyonce’s.

Green suggested, that just this once, the intern go along to get along and straighten her hair. Green posted the exchange to her station’s Facebook page. (See below.)

It has since gone viral.
