This has probably been talked about before at some point or another but you ever wonder why your not allowed to wear your hair long at work. No braids, dreads, ponytails, etc especially for African Americans in a professional setting. Now there are some places that allow it....NBA, NFL, MLB, basically all entertainment fields.
All of this stems back to that psychology that white slavemasters used to make the slaves think. They would call black the worst scum in the world (inferior) but if they rape a black woman and the children are ligtskinned and darkskinned..the lightskinned one's would still be slaves but they would receive special favors. That got into the minds of other blacks to start hating themselves and making them feel inferior.
This can easily be related to how in the business if you are a black male you are prohibited to express yourself. You cant wear your hair in braids, dreads or parts or nice designs. This whole idea of image is bullsh*t...I understand it but at the same time if race isn't a issue or don't judge a book by its cover etc etc. then why is it still very difficult fora black man to find a really good job.
My cousin went to UCLA graduated with a BA in Criminology & Sociology and then got his Masters in Criminology. He cant find a job for whatever reason they say he's too young (25) or he's not experienced enough to handle the position (BULLsh*t)
I got off-topic from my original argument but this has to be said too. My job for example has poor management. Correct me if I'm wrong but at a job your managers should communicate with you or at least be friendly & courteous (a simple greeting) instead of always SUPPLY/DEMAND attitude right???
Here's another question how is it at my job (Macys) none of the manager's with the exception of 2 actually went to college and took a management class? It is by all means a mystery to me how some people get promoted....
I have nothing against people who dont go to college and still lead a successful life but my argument is unskilled people who dont know that their in a business.
I have more to say on this I have to eat though...my lamb is done
