Why is it that black people's hair is seen as unprofessional in many workplaces? I personally find this offensive and racist ? What do you think?

Black people have different hair. That is a fact of life.

Why is it that companies are allowed to implement policies like no braids etc.

Braiding is one of the styles that black people use to style their hair.

Even if you have dreadlocks it can be neat too. It is up to you.

Also black hair does not lay flat it sticks out. That is just the way God made it. They have no control over that.

Because you braid your hair that doesn’t mean your hair is unsanitary.

Why is it that the sleek straight hair look is always seen as the best hair.

I don’t get this.

I think it is very intolerant and offensive.

What is up with that? Why can’t people just accept each other . WE are all different.

Why do we all have to look the same.

I think as long as your hair is not smelly or anyone is tripping over it. It is not anyone’s business.

Why are black people always being told by the fashion industry that their hair is inferior and needs to be “fixed” ?
