This is California, remember. The Golden state is perched to become the first in the nation to ban discrimination based on unique hairstyles, mainly targeting blacks.

The measure, which has passed both chambers of the state legislature, could be signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom as soon as next week.

It’s aimed at schools and workplaces where blacks say they have been pressured to abandon hairstyles traditionally a part of their culture and have been denied jobs and advancement when they did not adopt more Eurocentric styles of personal grooming.

The bill, if signed, would prohibit enforcement of personal grooming policies affecting disproportionately those of color, especially blacks. This includes prohibitions on certain hairstyles, such as braids, twists, Afros, cornrows and dreadlocks.

It’s a good thing race doesn’t matter! Oh wait it does matter.

“mainly targeting blacks.“

This type mentality is the main stream now,

Well, guess it’s time to get that swastika buzz cut I’ve been planning to get.

I also expect that the military and law enforcement are not going to be too keen on just any old hairstyle.

I wouldn't expect this. The military has been updating their grooming standards in the direction of increased permissiveness in regards to hair regulations.

Lots of styles are allowed today that weren't just a few years ago.

I hear he has a part in the upcoming “Straight Outa Star Wars” film.

I dunno, something short. LIKE HIS..!!

And that’s also why, in the wake of #MeToo, the hiring of women is trending straight down..... I agree. ...when it comes to quotas and non discrimination. “ Hiring you was like losing 2 good men”.

Mind. Blown.

Oh my....

I never noticed Floyd’s Barbershop in that episode. I wonder if it was an inside joke or just a coincidence?

I’m just wondering how they’re going to handle Nancy’s next facelift when she has to start grooming her chin?

[ExTexasRedhead]

How about banning corrupt, amoral, bottom-feeding, power-hungry, wacko dictators like Jerry Brown, Gavin Newsom, Madd Maxine, Eric Swallowswell, Xavier Becerra, Horizontal Harris, ChiFi, et al?

[Red Badger]

Well, I’m ok with most hairstyles, but the MULLET should be banned from the face of the Earth................

The North Korean Young un already does this ,LOL

[Puppage]

That ain’t a doo, that’s a don’t!!

[C210N]

Will this ban apply to HO or Lionel?

[Rio]

It looks to me like they were just using the Mayberry set to shoot that scene.

WooHoo!
The Mullet is BACK!

The inherent attack on the liberty of one to make decisions on how to allocate his or her property, in a once free market, will apparently continue, until moe of us wake up to the realization that the whole approach is inherently flawed.
