Employers have no business policing black people's natural hairstyles

— to extend its protections to traits historically associated with a person’s race, such as hair texture and “protective hairstyles.” It cites braids, locks and twists as specific examples.

Nothing in the bill would stop employers from requiring workers’ hair to be neat and clean. Nor would it bar employers from having rules about hair if safety or health reasons require them, such as in restaurant kitchens. But critics have argued that braids and locks are hairstyles that more naturally accommodate kinky hair and, as such, should be considered as much a part of a person’s racial identity as an Afro. At the very least, it seems ludicrous for an employer to force a black person whose hair is more easily braided or put in locks to use damaging chemicals and flat irons to achieve a hairstyle that matches the employer’s vision of what constitutes professionalism.

opinion We must conform so that white people will be comfortable, at the expense of our own comfort.

opinion 'Forced'? The victim Olympics finds a new challenge.

opinion Sorry, I’m in the food biz. Your gonna wear a net in the back, and in the front, your gonna wear it in a bun. Anything else is gross. Get over it. BTW, that applies to everyone.

opinion Employers have no business policcing ANYBODY'S hair stylr!

opinion If you don’t like the employers rules or policies. Then don’t work for that employer.

opinion Now all of a sudden their BLACK people, when it suits the whities. Why you Black People keep falling for this is beyond reckoning.

opinion How about folk's...that R hair ChAllEnGeD¿?¿

opinion Why was my comment deleted? This is purely racial baiting and you know it...

opinion Newsflash! This issue was fought and won back in the 1970s. Why are you dredging up past battles won?

opinion Counterpoint - while I can agree with your premise... Employers have a right to have at will employees dress and look a certain way. That applies to all races and religions. Employees represent the company, not individualism.

opinion Omfg just let people live their lives. If for whatever reason it makes you uncomfortable—get over it!
