Be a Hebrew Israelite anywhere except here in the US, unless you're rich I guess.
The bigger my beard get, the more hate I receive it seems. It was starting to grew long and downward, to the point a friend compared mine to Bin Laden's. I finally trimmed down the bottom, giving my beard a more rounded look again. Cutting it did take out a lot of grey hair that started growing the longer it got. But regardless, nobody should feel they have the right to hate on me because I grew a beard, or because of how I wear it. It's not like I'm wearing fringes, or a turban. But I'll probably wound up going that route, and just go full blown with the dress code. It seems the mixed feelings are coming regardless.
Btw, most of this hate was coming from customer service reps.
