Responding to a complaint from the Congressional Black Caucus, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel on Tuesday ordered the military services to review their grooming standards for African-American women.
Hagel told the CBC that he has given the services 30 days to “review the definitions of authorized and prohibited hairstyles contained in each of their respective policies and revise any offensive language.”

I have only one word for this. I can’t take it any more.
Sorry that’s six words. But I’m sure y’all understand.
We are being "governed" by hordes of fools. With huge guns and infinitesimally small brains.
Just followin’ jojo bitemes lead. LOL! Three letter word “J O B S”.
Has been going down the toilet for the last 30 years. Accepting all kind of new rules for the minorities and all the gender freaks and those that are not even American Citizens. I remember when tests scortes were held up to get certain group of people promoted.
I do understand, what I would like to say about this, is not fit to print on FR!
Believe it or not, natural kinky hair has long been one of the big issues for black nationalists. Any effort to straighten afro hair is considered white. That’s why big afros symbolized the black pride movement. This attitude is straight out of the Black Nationalist playbook, as articulated by Carlos Cooks, “the ideological son of Marcus Garvey”. So of course the CBC is getting all itchy about it.
Carlos A. Cooks - A True Blackman

“It was Carlos Cooks who first initiated the concept of natural hair as an issue of racial pride through his ANPM’s MISS NATURAL STANDARD OF BEAUTY CONTEST. But just about everyone who comes in contact with AJASS knows this because our programs are based on truth and, so, we always let everyone know just where we’re coming from. (Don’t bother to ask the folks running the “Miss America Beauty Contest.)”

Dear Chuck. Your name offends me. And makes me think of vomit.
Common knowledge since 1970 or so. Remember the "afro pick" combs that were adorned with the "black power" fist symbol?
It’s clear these stupid fools don’t understand the reason for hair regulations.
First, they gotta put a helmet on that head during combat.
Second, long hair is hard to wash in a foxhole.
You want pretty hair or a head on your shoulders???
“Common knowledge since 1970 or so. Remember the “afro pick” combs that were adorned with the “black power” fist symbol?”
Common knowledge, yes, for people of a certain age. But don’t underestimate the symbolism of what it represented at the time: black supremacy, rioting, violent revolution against white America, and the creation of a separate black nation based on their own laws and cultural values. It wasn’t about cute little things like hair picks. The big afro hairstyle represented a much deeper racist ideology in the context of the times.
I’ll tell you something else: when you see somebody with long dreadlocks today (real or fake) chances are you’re looking at somebody with the same mentality. The militant hate-whitey ideology is as strong as ever, it’s just gone underground. But the outward symbols are there, as clear as gang symbols if you know what to look for.
The rats put him there, the so-called conservatives in the House keep him there, funding unrestricted.
