Another freedom taken from us. A private business should be free to refuse service or employment to anyone for any reason.

july 3 2019 SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Gov. Gavin Newsom signed into law Wednesday a bill making California the first state to ban workplace and school discrimination against black people for wearing hairstyles such as braids, twists and locks.

The law by Democratic Sen. Holly Mitchell of Los Angeles, a black woman who wears her hair in locks, makes California the first state to explicitly say that those hairstyles are associated with race and therefore protected against discrimination in the workplace and in schools.

“We are changing the course of history, hopefully, across this country by acknowledging that what has been defined as professional hair styles and attire in the work place has historically been based on a Euro-centric model — based on straight hair,” Mitchell said.

Dutch braid...

Swedish crown braid...

German Oktoberfest braid...

Native American braid and dreads...

Medieval braids...

Get that injun pic off my thread. Injuns tortured to death millions of white settlers and are the evilest people that ever lived.

Then i hope you like living in the stone age. Blacks can't do tech. Hell - most can't even read or tell time.

Is there a less piddly thing, for you to cry like a hungry baby bird over?

He is right, though. This is just more restriction against who we can do business with.

How? That makes little sense.

Say I own a private business and I don't want any of my employees wearing their hair in braids. This law would restrict me from banning braids in my own business. And even if it has nothing to do with race, they're treating it like a racial issue. Whites and Asians also braid their hair, but this is making it like braids are an exclusive black thing.

Businesses shouldn't be free to present the image they wish? What about sanitary concerns? Dreads are nasty unwashed matted hair. A food business now has to allow a person with nasty, unwashed hair to work around food?

How does that restrict you from doing business with people?

Some people will choose not to conduct business with a company that does not appear to be serious/professional. Bad hair and the presence of tattoos, for example, are generally seen to be unprofessional (because they are).
