New York City Makes It Illegal to Discriminate on the Basis of Hairstyle
By Rick Moran February 18, 2019
 

The killjoys at the New York City Commission on Human Rights are at it again. Not content to prevent us from discriminating on the basis of race, sex, creed, ethnic origin, sexual preference, gender identity, weight, height, age, (take a breath), and disability, we are now ordered not to discriminate based on hairstyle.

Hairstyle?

    Anti-Black racism is an invidious and persistent form of discrimination across the nation and in New York City. Anti-Black racism can be explicit and implicit, individual and structural, and it can manifest through entrenched stereotypes and biases, conscious and unconscious. Anti-Black bias also includes discrimination based on characteristics and cultural practices associated with being Black, including prohibitions on natural hair or hairstyles most closely associated with Black people. Bans or restrictions on natural hair or hairstyles associated with Black people are often rooted in white standards of appearance and perpetuate racist stereotypes that Black hairstyles are unprofessional. Such policies exacerbate anti-Black bias in employment, at school, while playing sports, and in other areas of daily living.

I remember nearly 20 years ago watching a guy bicycling down the street with his hair made into "devil horns".  We debated just what kind of job he could get.  We agreed we wouldn't accept a pizza delivered by him.

Someone floated the notion of selling Montana to Canada to reduce the National debt.
Could we swap New York for Montana and add Vermont to sweeten the deal?????

Unless you culturally appropriate the hairstyle, then discriminating is fine.

And here I was all these years thinking it was just how bad the music itself Sucked when they called it Disco.

Who Knew it was Racist too when those white guys wore those huge curly Afros?

This is a real problem in NYC that demands the officials attention more than stuff like crime and unemployment?

NYC doesn't want to be outdone by the liberal meccas that have legalized public defecation and masturbation...

Saw a great meme the other day. Imagine the disappointment when a wold found it's descendant was a pug, that's how your grandfather feels when he sees your man bun.
