Woman makes powerful plea at House hearing on historic bill to regulate cosmetics, personal care products
A recent study conducted by Dove's CROWN initiative, showed that black women are 50% more likely to be sent home from the workplace because of their hair, and 80% of black women feel the need to change their hair from its natural state to fit in at the office. The same study found that black women's hair is three times more likely to be perceived as unprofessional.
"For far too long, Black Americans have faced senseless forms of discrimination merely because of how they choose to wear their hair," said Rep. Richmond in a statement."From Louisiana to New Jersey, textured hair should never serve as a professional or educational impediment nor should it ever lead to a reprimand of consequence," said Richmond."Together, with this bill, we can ensure this form of discrimination no longer goes unchecked.
Wonderful now you really have to be careful what you say Political correctness is really getting into high gear glad I’ll be dead in not to many years
This is not right
OMG... what a waste of space. Is this REALLY necessary? 🙄. Cory Booker brings race into every single issue. Sick of hearing it. THIS? Incredibly stupid move on Booker’s part. Convinces ppl Booker is either anti white or profoundly stupid.
Cultural Appropriation!
Oh dear.
Think about how ignorant most of these comments are, then think about these comments coming from HR professionals, so yes, this legislature is needed.
Discriminate is a catch all! We don't need a bill for every conceivable reason!
Pressing issue. Smfh
Are you kidding me. Next their going to introduce a bill where you can't discriminate because you wear your pants below your ass! Really.......
Booker is looking for headlines with this stupid idea.
Stupid that hair styles have to be regulated
You Got To Be kidding......
Put a hair net on this....
Usually I would say stuff like this is dumb but as a male with long hair I can respect and appreciate this effort
Look at all the white people complaining about anti-discrimination laws. YOU are the reason they are required, not government overreach.
Can we still discriminate against people with weird mushroom penises? Asking for a “President”...
What kind of ban exists against hair styles
Does the bill include braids?
My wife has curly frizzy hair and has been turned down based on that alone. Because 'its not professional looking' glad this is fully spelt out now since some businesses cant take a hint. Hire someone based 9n their work ethic and skills alone. Not their appearences.
It is a shame things like this happen. It is a thing, google fired due to hair style. NYC commission on human rights had to add the language into their discrimination laws earlier this year because it has become a thing.
It's awful we have to even think about passing laws on hair texture and style. Discrimination is discrimination. I didn't think we had to spell out every little nuance of it.
Is this for real or a article from the Onion?
Utterly ridiculous, more manufactured fake outrage and bullshit. And here comes the federal government in to save the day ! If something takes longer to service or do. Then it should cost more for it to be done. My haircut should cost more if its 3ft long then if its a ft long !
Cause that’s reaaaallly important right now
If I was a Mexican I wouldn't care to live in the United states, I'll rather support my own country, because America is the most racist country in tha world against them and the so-called African Americans🕊H2R💖...
Remember when Corey and Kamala were pushing the anti-lynching bill. Corey is a fraud who relies on his one trick
Can't lift anyone out of poverty or a jail cell but plenty of time to draft bills to protect hair. What a warrior!🤦 CoryBooker
Wow....more silly laws! Way to go Cory; you’re so worthy of your constituents votes. 🙄
So if a woman with straight, silky blond hair applies to be a model for a company that makes hair products for people with dark curly hair, she could sue for discrimination if she wasn't hired?
Corey Booker has a real chance he gets my vote for mostTrustworthyCandidateforPresident
We have really sunk low when we have to pass a bill to keep people from discriminating types of hair. We have lost our loving minds that we can’t live together without cutting someone down because they are different.We are all people,brown,black,white, asian,Indian,whoever else.
How is this even a thing?! I need some more info here.. someone give me the “woke”
Really? They can’t get USMCA passed. What’s next—banning discrimination on hairy legs? JoeBiden Liberals. You cannot make this shit up!!! 🤦🏼♀️
RaceCardHailMary
😅😅😅 Major issue for the American people
For it, as long as its hygienic. Gotten too many whiffs of moldy dreads in my festival days.
A man with no hair fighting for the other team. What a great guy.
What a joke. How about he do something real like Mr. Trump ...Wake up America my 14 year old could make a better bill to help all Americans...this dude is a fraud Trump2020 MAGA
Booker is looking sexy !
What? Is this a parody account?
This is so damn dumb...!
Now, he's cooking with gas, but, he could do that from the Senate. This is not a presidential issue in the grand scheme of American governmental architecture.
Symbolic, as it’s already illegal to discriminate against minorities
