If you’re looking for pure fluff to accompany your daily news mix, you could do much worse than a report about the current fashion ascendancy of redheads.

Because you never know when a kooky juxtaposition will crop up:

“Caucasians aren’t the only ones with red hair naturally,” [sociology professor Druann] Heckert says. “Malcolm X had red hair.”

I’m sure Brother Malcolm would be thrilled to be cited for such an enlightening purpose.

Pro-black-radical mix, and folical highlighting. Fight the power! (And no, I did not know that he was redheaded.)
