"The bill filed by Sen. Tonya Anderson, a Democrat representing Lithonia, would protect people who have “braids, locks, twists, or other textured hairdressing historically associated with an individual's race,”"

Another protected class. And, to top it off -

"Similar legislation has been passed in California, New York and New Jersey,"

I fear for my neighbor state

That nonsense has a zero percent chance of passing here.

I’d like legislation to bring back the conk. I liked James Brown and Al Sharpton when they were conked to the bone. Wilson Pickett wore a nice conk also.

A cut and paste info explanation.
The conk (derived from congolene, a hair straightener gel made from lye) was a hairstyle popular among African-American men from the 1920s to the 1960s. ... Conks were often styled as large pompadours although other men chose to simply slick their straightened hair back, allowing it to lie flat on their heads.

Nothing is more important than identity politics to a liberal.

Beware asking a legislator to pay attention to more important matters.

I guess GA commies are trying to copy CA commies.

Calif. became the first state to enact this moronic legislation, went into effect the start of this year. So guys who want to wear long dirty dreadlocks at their jobs in Merrill Lynch can do so now.

As long as a players hair protrudes from his helmet, it is legal to tackle him by his hair, it is considered part of the uniform. Man, I’d like to see non stop hair tackling.

I notice some yellow bellies keeping the dreads short or inside their helmet. Same applies to whites with the flowing mane, grab that hair & fling those sobs down. Play through the pain!
They might get another 5 yards but it’s gonna hurt bad.

I’d like to be protected from ear hair. Does her bill cover that?

All of you follicle-ists are discriminating against us bald guys. When do we get our lobbyist?

Lobbyist? Heck, I want reparations --> Bring back my hair!!

^^^^

I am not bald.
I am folicularly challenged.

It's natural to focus on one's own respective state's proposed legislation...but if you take the time to check other states' proposed bills you'll often see trends in legislation...sometimes I think it's a "keeping up with the Joneses" thing...along with a shared political play book.

Colorado Democrat legislators have introduced a similar hair style related bill this session.
