"I'm here to apply for your sales and marketing position"

California passed such a law in 2019, so it is still the champ of wokeness.

You call that a knot? looks like a simple overhand slip knot, like you'd use to tie your shoes. Maybe you could be a little more creative?

Biden wants legislation to protect people from consequences of publishing nekkid pics on the net:

"I bet everybody knows somebody, somewhere along the line ... in an intimate relationship — what happened was the guy takes a revealing picture of his naked friend, or whatever, in a compromising position and then literally sends blackmail," Biden said at a signing ceremony for the reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act.

People of color struggle to find someone who can properly cut their hair in small town Iowa

DECORAH, Iowa (KCRG) - For many black Iowans living in a small town, getting a haircut can be a chore.

That was why one Eastern Iowa College partnered with a barber from Rochester, Minnesota, to make sure black students on campus can get a nice haircut.

“I could only get a haircut when I go home,” said Mychal Shed, a junior at Luther College. “There was a point in time when didn’t get my haircut for four months.”

Luther College then started to partner with Clipdart to hire Gilbert Jordan, owner of Uncle Gil’s in Rochester. Uncle Gil lives unto his name, giving life advice while giving them a chop.

“I try to encourage them and tell them the small town is a better setting because now you can focus on what you’re supposed to,” said Gil.

His clippers fill the void these students need while giving them the barber-client dynamic they have missed since they got to Luther College.

“Once you find a barber, it’s like a relationship of its own,” said Daniel Webster.

“When I got out here, I called my Barber, Mo, and told him I hated to do this to him,” said Mychal. “He told me to do what I had to do. He gave me the right of passage.”

Students like Webster and Shed could now walk around campus with the confidence a fresh cut gives them.

“I’m feeling good,” said Webster. “I’m smiling; it feels like the birds are out, the sun is out, everything’s a little brighter.”

“A Couple of days ago, I looked in the mirror, and I didn’t know who I was looking at,” said Mychal.

Wait a second.. when black women straighten their hair and color it blonde, why isn't that cultural appropriation?

I would think that a 'natural' hairstyle would be, well, not styled at all. Just growing out and all over the place.

That was the theory behind the Afro, and we all know how that worked out.

As long as it's neat, clean, and tidy I have no problem with how one styles the hair. I would not do business with a person whose hair does not meet those standards, though, no matter how "natural" it might be.

Minnesota passed the same hair legislation. It's the current chic thing for the left to focus on now. And what the hell there are no other problems that need to be dealt with!

I never understood this. A employer is never going to say I didn't hire that person because his hair is just plain bat shit crazy. There were more qualified applicants, we decided to fill the position from within etc. etc.

Just makeup another reason to fire, not hire them.

That poor kid. What an awful situation.

House passes bill to prohibit discrimination based on hair

By FARNOUSH AMIRI
yesterday

WASHINGTON (AP) — Black people who wear hairstyles like Afros, cornrows or tightly coiled twists should not face bias in society, school and the workplace, the U.S. House said Friday in voting to make it explicit that such discrimination is a violation of federal civil rights law.

“There are folks in this society who think because your hair is kinky, it is braided, it is in knots or it is not straightened blonde and light brown, that you somehow are not worthy of access,” Democratic Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman, the lead sponsor of the bill, said during debate on the House floor. “Well, that’s discrimination...

You've got to allow for the fact that Nancy Pelosi is the Speaker of the House and we all know that she's nucking futs.
