She would have looked great in this "protective style."

For the second time, Senate Republicans blocked a bill that would ban race-based discrimination of hair, specifically natural, textured hair and protective hairstyles typically worn by African Americans.
The Creating a Respectful and Open World for Natural Hair (CROWN) Act aims to protect individuals from unjust treatment in the workplace, in hiring processes and in schools because of their hair. The legislation failed to get enough support from Senate Republicans to override a filibuster from Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul.

“We will not be deterred by Rand Paul or anyone else. And we’re going to continue fighting and working,” said Marc Morial, the president of the National Urban League and a founding member of the Crown coalition, which consists of several organizations that advocate for CROWN laws.
Advocates say this is a civil rights issue as studies show that 80% of Black women are more likely to change their hair to meet standards often set by employers and schools.
Recently, former first lady Michelle Obama expressed that she didn’t feel comfortable wearing her hair in protective styles during her time in the White House.
But some legislators are against the measure. According to Sen. Rand Paul, using hairstyles as a form of racial discrimination is already illegal, therefore the CROWN Act is not necessary.
Yahoo News contacted Paul for comment, and a spokesperson pointed to his remarks on the floor. During the reading of the legislation on Dec. 14. Paul stated, “The Supreme Court found in the 1973 case, McDonnell Douglas Corp. v. Green, that using a pretextual reason as a cover for discrimination is a violation of federal civil rights law and subsequently, the protections sought by this bill are already provided for in federal law.”

Protective hair styles? What in the world is that?
Racists. They can block CROWN, but not the $1.7 Trillion omnibus spending bill. I have zero in common with these POSs.
Long hair caught in machinery can get you killed. Loose clothing can too.
Is there anything that is not a possible subject for federal legislation?

One of these days, someone will make of list of things they shouldn’t so. That would certainly help!!
I think this is what she means:

She’s apparently wearing various braided styles, now.
Doesn’t make much sense - she had no problem with telling us she had never been proud of the US before, or with often wearing weird clothes that didn’t really suit a First Lady. I don’t think her hair would have been a greater issue to anyone.
Just another anti-white effort.
I remember her wearing a bun a few times...when on vacation...but NEVER saw her natural...just .wigs...
Thanks! That’s my new nugget of useless wisdom for the day.
I don’t know that she wore wigs. I think she had her hair keratined/flat-ironed or something like that.
Gotta love the Senate. Working on all the important things.
It is called the Bill of Rights: “Congress shall make no law ...”
What a cute kid.
I love positive personalities in children. So cool...
The whole damn nation is burning being DESTROYED from within, and these bastards are worried about HAIR!! God I just want to throw up!!!
