y'all really believe because you join the military you're gonna automatically see war :heh:

But clips, headbands are banned throughout the military not just the army, so i don't see why any woman would complain. But as Far as dreads, i think they could loosen the reigns on those and just set something to make it acceptable, but like someone said if you have to put on a gas mask it won't seal with certain hairstyles...period

As a woman in the military, I'd love to rock a fade to work. Unfortunately, AFI 36-2903 states that I must have at least one inch of hair (Air Force)

While the Army just revised their grooming standards, none of it is really new. Each branch has similar rules regarding female hair.

Do I think it's wrong and targets black hair, hell yes. But why all of the outrage now?

You sure about that?

Why would anyone ever fight for a country which was built on white supremacy, is white supremacist and tries to destroy Africa constantly. Even if Mullah Omar uttered "******" he isn't trying to make me or my future descendants suffer the indignity of the ancestors.

I get that. But let's not act like the Taliban respects/likes black people. They hate us too

I don't care. Black folks shouldn't be in the military anyway. It's always been racist. The Vietnam films where you see whites and blacks dancing to soul music..that never happened..they didn't allow soul music in the military and would confiscate the tapes. Lots of black related items were getting confiscated.


We shouldn't be in America either...racist country. :skip:

Let nikkas tell it and you're always in the wrong. :russ:



Let's go to an HBCU and major in AA studies and teach to inner city blacks about white society.:troll:

Be a scientist and develop drugs and study for cures to disease so white pharmaceutical companies can control the market.

Be an computer programmer for a white company founded on the backs of your ancestors.

Be a lawyer and be a conniving snake using the laws this racist country used to consider blacks 3/5 human.

:troll:

The difference between middle eastern extremists and your average european american is that the extremists hate all other cultures equally with the exception of americans or jews (depending on the terrorist's background), who they tend to hate above everyone else. White people always have and to this day FEAR any and everyone of African descent, which is why they hate blacks with a passion similar to that of Michael Jordan in the nba finals, or James Brown on stage.

Believe it or not....not every black person is born into wealth. We all dont have college trust funds and fast tracks to success waiting for us when we hit 18.
Thank you. I hate when people act like blacks in the military is so bad. It'a the only way out for a lot of people. My brother's military career earned him a damn good job in Qatar, making well over 200k doing something he loves to do. If he didn't go to the military he probably wouldve another Gary hoodlum.

I don't think this is a motivation behind the rule changes. If the accepted alternative is to put on wig, then that would just cause more obstruction to head gear.

Of course not. That doesnt mean its respectable to jump into an army. Just like it wouldnt be respectable to jump into a gang even for those same reasons you just mentioned. I dont judge though :obama:
