Another reason for black ppl to open our own businesses and work for ourselves. We have the spending dollars to invest in our communities and our ppl. Why aren't we doing it?

First it's locs, then braids, then all "natural" or "ungroomed" hair styles. So basically, anything that doesn't look like white people's hair! #smdh at Amerika!!!

Learning about this was very frustrating. Job performance and professionalism is in no way correlated with having dreadlock. I also believe this could be seen as a form of racial discrimination

They're probably equating Black locs with White locs. Which are waaaaaay different.

My sisterlocs are neat and clean and in no way have any effect on my work duties and responsibilities. Another step backwards.

My sisterlocs are neat and always clean and have nothing to do with my capabilities to perform my work duties. This is ridiculous.

Alabama doing what Alabama does best; Prejudice and tilting backwards on being progressive.

While I understand the importance of not allowing such laws to pass, I equally realize that we need to stop asking them permission for things we can fix on our own. We need more black corporations (Fortune 500 companies) and small businesses. We need safe spaces where we make our own rules and do not need to bow to the rules of the white power structure.
Yes, fight the structure. But simultaneously create something for us that doesn't force us to beg for what we should have as a natural right.

I've seen white people at work with their natural hair messy and dirty. No discrimination against them, though.
Ridiculous! I've seen MANY black professionals with locs - freeformers, and those with more cultivated locs, and NONE of them looked as messy as some of the non-black people who come to work with hair not even DRY from the shower, and full of styling products that leave residue all over the office and make people with sensitivity to fragrances gag. SMDH - I just loced my hair, and I DARE someone to say my hair is "unkempt"!
