Need to vent.

This has absolutely nothing to do with RKBA but it does with civil rights. Right now, I'm reading a case where an African-American woman was ordered to submit proposed hair styles to her managers for review to insure that they weren't "eye-catching." No other person (including five white females) was required to do so. She was told that if she didn't like it, she could leave.

Feel free to lock this topic up but I'm too pi$$ed off to see straight and needed to vent. The court dismissed the case because she couldn't prove discrimination. Huh? Fortunately, the 6th Circuit said "get real."
Rant mode off.
 
Buzz_knox, where did you get your info? If from a major media source, I wouldn't lose any sleep over it.

I'm an attorney who does employment discrimination work for the gov't. I was reading the decision of the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals, reversing the district judge. So, I got it straight from the proverbial horses mouth.
 
THE NRA IS THE CIVIL LIBERTIES UNION FOR GUN OWNERS and not, as peter jennings contends, a "deep pocket gun lobby".

What a hachet job
cbs nightly news did on NRA.

We, the firearms community, must have the democraps worried .
Serves the democrats right for the shabby way they constantly treat the firearms community.

Remember , gun contol is not crime control.
Crime control is law enforcement.
gun control is loss of civil rights and victim disarmament.

Some sensable gun contol is victim disarmament on slow forward speed.

All the reasonable gun contol laws are already laws; only unreasonable anti civil rights victim disarmament scheemes remain
untried.

Uphold the Second Ammendment, what little of it we still have left to us.
 
Since I foolishly try to give people the benefit of the doubt, this could have been a ongoing problem with this woman. I have seen hairstyles on some black women that make punk rockers look conservative.

Imagine 6 five-inch loops standing vertically at different angles, made from braids and highlighted in a metallic red. I'm not making that up.

Due to the make-up of the hair on black women, they have their hair "done" often, and many like to experiment, and many have absolutely no taste. Some of those styles are NOT professional.

"Eye-catching" sounds like a polite way for the company to say that her previous hair style choices we inappropriate for someone in her position... or just plain goofy.

Color me confused.
What, pray tell, does race have to
do with this?
Last time I looked all God's chillun
have hair...Well most of 'em anyway.
 
It's pretty much like this: Private business owners should be able to conduct private business on their private property in any manner they see fit, as long as they are not physically harming anyone. This includes the right to refuse service or employment to anyone for any reason under any circumstance.

If I'm a business owner, and you don't like the way I do business, you're free to patronize or work for another establishment.

Yes I know the courts don't generally share this opinion. Well . . . the courts are wrong.
