He’s not lying but I don’t advise doing it.

It’s one of those silly rules the dominant society has put into place to force conformity to their standards.

Its 2021, personal hygiene aside, nobody should have to cut their hair to be considered professional.

It's true, but why would you want a job where you can't be yourself. Sounds like torture that will slowly kill you mentally.

Because those jobs tend to pay more money than the ones where you can “be yourself”.

 

[Wildhundreds]

I agree with him..

Who wants someone who doesn't fit the vision of your company?

If more people owned their own shyt, and put rules in place for their shyt, people would understand..

 

[DrunkenNovice]

Do y'all agree with this quote?

In context yes.

 

[ajnapoleon]

He not lying


I dont like it


But he right


We in a system that we don't have the numbers or capital


So somethings have to be done


Like I said I don't like it but he right to some extent

This will be a good listen as I make my dinner, thank breh

Grew my locs during quarantine

We ain't back to the office for a while so

Meh I know a Senegalese programmer with dreads. Has no problems getting jobs.

but I understand wanting men to be clean cut. I wouldn’t feel comfortable hiring anyone that looks like a member of duck dynasty. White or Black.

 

[Wildhundreds]

Whats y'all take on the NY Yankees wanting their players clean shaved?

 

[Wildin]

Nope.

Not true at all.

He's a clown and a c00n.

There's plenty of straight black men with dreads that dress nice that aren't gay and aren't thugs or ex thugs, criminals.

 

[GrindtooFilthy]

Depends on the field if you in front of vendors, customers, businesses partners it’s in ur best interest to appear clean cut if you in the back room doing fukk all maybe technical, computer, labor etc then nah do whatever. One of my old bosses had a neck tat these folks don’t care

 

[Mordith]

Docile nikka shyt. Taking advice from this soft ass nikka is mistake number one. As a black man, you just need to have awareness. Be aware of how you will be perceived; but that doesn’t mean conform. Yeah it’s always some compromise or some “playing the game” involved. But I never support black people conforming to what the white society want them to do. A brother may want to get in banking and realize he got less chance with dreads and he cut his dreads. What I would like that brother to do is, to regrow them hoes after he get the job on some real nikka shyt

You the type of niqqa who pays your rent with Postal Money orders, this isn't a discussion for you...

 

[desjardins]

I think every one of every race needs to be WELL GROOMED to be successful in a corporate setting
That doesn't necessarily mean cutting your hair though. It's a difference between your hair looking like carl hart and spotemgottem

As a lawyer yourself you think people should look however they want on the job?
