Appeals Court: Employees Don’t Have a Right to Wear Dreadlocks

I get EEOCs season behind saying it it isn't race. I don't see any white people who rock Black styles in the corporate environment.

I work corporate now. If you want my locs you're going to have to take em.



Besides if some corporation told me I have to change my locs (which I keep very neat) to get a job there, fuk em. I don't want to work there.

How? Nobody else wears dreadlocks.

How? Nobody else wears dreadlocks.

Plenty of these new age hipster type white people where locs. And they those are the very people that are quick to hijack our rights and struggles to get what they want. I don't want some Rachael Dolezale type running up in the office talking about "well look at Treblemaka's hair, I should be able to do that too."

No you shouldn't bxtch, your hair ain't built for this.

I've only seen dreaded white people maybe twice in real life so

To force a man to cut off his hair, especially a hairstyle that has reverence in our culture like dreads, is emasculating. It's like telling us how our hair naturally grows out of our head is wrong. I guess all we as black men can wear is low cuts. I have braids, I guess that would be somehow unprofessional too

 

[JLova]

They don't even see the beauty in locs. Fukk em. Need more black companies man.

you don't have a right to wear dreadlocks, dress codes exist and if you don't like it quit or find a new place of employment.

Pull Up

I hear you but hairstyles aren't a protected class

I think black dudes should get out and protest this. It will be great thing to see. Its sad how they never show a group of bm in a positive and progressive manner. I think they need to have a black boys rock on BET too. That would be awesome.

I see now why I'm one of the posters you like. Problem is, black boys are treated like a problem before they're treated like people. (Not my wording )

That's true but black men need to come together themselves and make it happen. That's very important. I think bm should demand it. All it takes is a movement to form. It's just takes one or a few dudes to start something catchy. Just look at that natural hair movement with BW.

True. I guess staging a protest might help.
