New Law in CA: Can't discriminate against Natural hair

Can not make this up,

CROWN Act: California becomes first state to ban discrimination against natural hair - CBS News


I get the understanding and thought process behind it, but the article is poorly written, so their examples, makes you think there HAS to be more to the story than just what they are saying....

Should be a federal law. African American women especially have complained over this discrimination for decades, even in the US military.

So does this make it ok to fire someone for hair extensions and weave considering those would not be someones natural hair?

Do leftists believe private businesses should have any rights at all?

That would be a hair style. Are white women fired for having a ponytail or braid? What if they perm their hair? How about if they use a curling iron? Why should dreadlocks be any different?
 
I did some more research, not a lot,

But it seems that the basis for this law, was a case out of Alabama, where a woman, who didn't have the job, refused to cut her dreadlocks, so they rescinded the job offer as she didn't conform to company policy.

Interesting step to take, the fact that the SC declined to hear it is interesting.
 
From its start the Democratic Party has always been about racism, particularly against black people. It is no surprise that white California Democrats are deeply disturbed that black people, particularly black women, might do their hair like white people's hair. So they passed a law to encourage black people to look as black as possible. That goal comes straight out of the Democratic slave trade in which they urged buying only slaves that were very dark skinned so there was no confusing them with white people and to keep them in the Democratic Party's role as an inferior species.

Without its racism, the Democratic Party is nothing. Other than being the servants of rich people, that's all the Democratic Party is - perpetual ranting and demanding segregation in racial and social divisions. It is the perpetual racist hate mongering party.

Of course, dreadlocks are not "natural hair," are they? They are ridiculous.

Well, since leftist don't actually consider them people, they are subject to the whims of government and hence they don't have rights guaranteed by the constitution. There are kinds of legislation around running a business that are far more restrictive than this and that are generally bipartisan.

Why are you so concerned with how a black person styles their hair?

The mental gymnastics required to dream up this theory is commendable. If you really work at it, I'm sure there's nothing you can't convince yourself of.

And it’s a conspiracy theory to call you people communist.

Please describe what you think a black persons "natural hair" should look like.

Because black women are denied jobs over dumb **** like hair and not actual merit.

Well, it would be pretty hard to link laws about hairstyles with some kind of slide into communism. It would be pretty entertaining to hear your theory though, if you actually think there is a connection.

If either of you could actually read and comprehend what you are reading, you would both know that I haven't advocated either for or against this issue. I have specifically addressed the notion that dreadlocks are "natural hair".

So now I get to do a two-fer...you are both dismissed.

Thats idiotic, if you were fired or a job rescinded because you refused to part your hair on the right instead of the left, you'd be furious as well.

Many people with curly hair would have dreadlocks if they never combed, brushed or styled it. Most dreadlocks that people intentionally have require a minimal amount of maintenance that is probably less than most hairstyles (if you think an afro does not require styling and maintenance, think again). That said, I doubt the intent of this law is only address what happens if no intentional styling was done period.
