U.S. Court rules not hiring someone for having dreadlocks legal

[MaxPain]

My friend was told to straighten her natural hair when some hire ups were visiting the office she works at.

I work in a creative office full of liberal white people where you’re allowed to look however you want to. But I’ve seen people get passed up for raises/promotions who didn’t fit a certain look. So even if they may not say anything they’re still gonna suppress your growth.

Glad im not a female lmao... but Im really not understanding this & kinda troubled by it..

Like...wtf are u supposed to do then...if u want healthy natural hair that isnt drowned in chemicals...

Its funny u bring up white liberals, they are the worst and most passive aggressive, im not even suprised...

In their suit, the EEOC claimed that this was a violation of the Civil Rights Act of 1964’s Title VII, arguing that dreadlocks are a “racial characteristic” that have been historically used to stereotype African-Americans as “not team players” and as unfit for the workplace. Therefore, claiming that dreadlocks do not fit a grooming policy is based on these stereotypes and inherently discriminatory, as dreadlocks are a hairstyle “physiologically and culturally associated” with African-Americans.

In essence, traits in a person’s appearance that are tied to their culture but are otherwise changeable are not protected and can be used to deny job offers.

'Race' = bullshyt.

Yet cacs could walk around with long hair smelling like wet dogs.

Ruling is basically a roundabout way of saying: "Now we can tolerate your skin color n what not. Darkies gotta work too. n we have a quota to fill. But get this straight. You're on our plantation. You work for us, for our interests. You make us profit.
You occupy our domain.

You will assimilate. You will fall in line ******. If u think you're too high n mighty 4 tht, too 'woke' then u get your black ass off my plantation boy. We can replace you with 10 soft-shoeing cornball brothers/wenches tht are hungry for a job by next week anyway."

That's how the NNFL works. This whole country fukking sucks. I don't even know why we acknowledge this shythole of a place enough to join the military or stand for a pledge that originally calls us slaves of the forefront.

Neely fuller says we're in tha 'refinement' stage of white supremacy. Meaning, tha powers that be are working to make sure tht tha oppressed don't actually know they're oppressed. Alot of nikkas don't know any better.

Dreads are not a natural style. You choose to put your hair in dreads. If they made afros an unacceptable style, then that would be different. That is how our hair naturally grows from our head. Now when they apply this rule to women is when it's blatent, because long hair is not acceptable for men in corporate environments.

As for my kids, I wouldn't loc their hair unless they were old enough to specifically ask for it. I'm not going to give them a style that is permanent unless cut off, if they don't ask. I'm also not going to make a hairstyle more important than money, and generational wealth.

Again, if we had more of our own corporations, we wouldn't have these problems, and we could make our own corporate dress code. But when folks aren't even getting the experience to soak up, and branch out because of a hairstyle, that's not going to happen.

When I worked in the private sector I got told straight to my face that my fro and beard doesn't fit the corporate mold the company wants. I bounced out to the gov after that shyt.

Hell, my director is a woman who has locks that go down to her knees.
