...so, the war against OUR cultural ethnicity continues, smh!

Thx for sharing!

You're welcome. Somewhere on this board, I read that AA women should not complain about WW apropriating our hairstyles, because we apropriate theirs when we wear weaves, wigs, etc. But, I say, that is not true. During slavery and even today we are FORCED to wear our hair in styles to their liking.

You really took it there, Queenie! LOL. That's my point. (rhetorically speaking) Why single out dreads? Why does this law ignore all the stankin', greasy, matted up, wypipo hair as well? Why are we targeting dreadlocks as opposed to ALL inapropriate, unkempt hairstyles.

Precisely. I can understand that unkempt and dirty looking and smelly hair may not be the best look that a company would want to portray or support. But, if the issue is hair that smells offensive and is obviously dirty, then why not establish a company policy that requires EVERYONE to wear hairstyles that are clean and well kept. Hair styles in corporate settings should not present a health or safety risk to employees or customers. Don't ban locs, if a company is culturally competent, simply set a company standard instead requiring that all employee's hair, including locs, be clean and neat. Don't set a standard that gives the appearance that you prefer one culture over others in the workplace.
