People in this world are a bunch of liars, that's the problem. This country constantly preaches about equal opportunity employment bullshit and we are the world and all that shit, but then it's a different story when they are faced with the reality of what that actually entails. I can't stress it enough that I am so sick and tired of worrying about how to keep my hair natural and keeping insecure co-workers happy with my hairstyle. It is frustrating to say the least!!!!!!!!!

Hearing these Discriminations against locs in work places makes me want to cry, I mean it's 2010 now and society is judging you by your hair?.. Like does it matter of what your hair looks like? Last time I checked I thought it was about skills and the love of working. - Keke.

It is a shame

@TheDlwade81 In racist ass Louisiana, I knew a girl who went to my school after being kicked out of either Ursuline or Cabrini for wearing braids!!!My ignorant ass old school parents were like, "That is nigger hair," and they are BLACK! I wash my hair almost everyday just because I like to play in it! With weaves and processed fake hair, I couldn't do it!

@HappyHookerTV that's crazy  and the sad thing is our parents have been brainwashed to belive this garbage....Racisism is still alive and well

i work at a supermarket and my managers are all ok with my dreads.

@monilove5 That's good to hear because I want to become a Pharmacist and have locs lol

[Tazzarinaa]

I'm hope when us younger people are the older people all this BS goes away, it's pretty stupid. I'm not black but I want to get dreads, I think only ignorant people who know nothing besides what goes on past their small world make that big a fuss over something so small. It's 1 thing if they're actually dirty dreads which most likely is due to using wax, but we all would have dreads if we never had these products. Ridiculous that people think one certain area of hairstyles is the only way to go.

RACISM STILL EXIST.

As I pursued my dance career many moons ago, I had to deal with white America. My signature was very unique - shaved head. Wore a "wig" to interview and after I was hired, I presented my SHAPELY, SHAVED HEAD. I was fired (no reason given) with 30 mins walking through their door. I didn't pursue legal action, but I should have.

DIFFERENT CAREER AND I DON'T G.A.S. (GIVE A SHIT). MY FAB-U-LOUS LOCS ARE HERE TO STAY. I SAY, SCREW THEM THRU SUNDAY.

[monilove5]

I went to an interview at a pharmacy with my locs and got the job. Idk the situation sounds crazy.

i dont know what fair work is like in other counties, but i live in australia and I know that if i got fired without a fair reason, they would get into so much trouble. I almost lost my job because i was dealing with some health issues. i told them i talked to fair work and they took back everything they said lol. Im currently doing my dreads now and I think its disgusting how people are so shallow about anything different.
