Nope. Imma keep my dreads and stay employed. I'm not letting a man like Kevin Samuel's tell me shit about how to present myself. My hair has yet to keep me from getting a job.
Like i said. Two types of people. There are people who need the system, society and its instruments to validate their self worth, and character. Then there are folks like us, loc heads or not who find our own way and dont need societys labels to define ourselves. At the end of the day thats what matters and is the road to true happiness in this life
He's right! In every workplace there is a dress code, even though it's not clear most of the time, and when you reach certain level in the corporate, they will apply pressure on you to change your lifestyle or they will ejected you. So it's on you to choose what you want and you can't blame them for that.
I think he’s right when it comes to corporate America and your skills haven’t separated you from competition . If your are I. High demand then you can come in flip flops lol , but if you are just grinding it out then cutting the dreads is prolly a good look . I’m in education and this is a super liberal space so my locs can stay no matter if I’m a teacher , principal or superintendent . As a teacher ima free former though . Once I get into administration I’ll prolly start getting some type of routine maintenance . That would be the equivalent of cutting for a free former 😂 But as admin I just would want to project a cleaner look .
Lol😂 the funny thing is all of these goofy’s. That have dreads their grandmothers and grandfather didn’t have dreads if they’re American it’s imported from the Caribbean that came in the 60s and 70s to America. We have never wore dreads here in America and most of the people that do are nasty anywayand irresponsible and lazy and they smell sour
Lol black people are always ceying or complaining, im white and i cannot come to work for a company like he is referring too looking like a hobo with a long beard and ling hair like a hippie
Dnt work for the white man live life be happy and god and yourself will find away to put food on the table it’s not selling out it’s being yourself and loving what god has giving you

It's absolutely selling out.
Where is Jay Z?!!
I thought this same way but I did not have to cut my locs. I would have if I had to but glad I didn't do it prematurely.
Capitalism is anti black
He wasnt wrong if you want to move up that’s what’s expected.
To be honest Troy, when I think of the relation between hair & career choice, it makes me sooooooooooooooo sad I can't lie.
😔

Cut your hair to go be a wage slave, interesting
When I see my locs swinging in the mirror, I feel like a God. So it sucks that white corporate Americans feel that way. Our locs look so powerful!
Scripture says it’s a shame for men to have long hair 🤷🏾♂️
Just because that’s the only answer doesn’t mean it’s right or fair.
Is the guy in the corner in corporate?
He not lying but that’s not the route I’m taking🤷🏾♂️
This is weak and was a very eurocentric take on this matter. Let those knots grow nephew!! Bless up! #JahIsIt❤💛💚
