    It's not bald, but I think the crew cut is a pretty fresh looking no maintenance cut compared to bald and a buzz cut. If you're balding I guess you're SOL though, lol.

    I'm one to talk though, I'm trying to grow my hair out again and it's like old Justin Bieber skater kind of style right now when I don't side part it.

    Excuse me? Because I'm white it's a false equivalence? Uhhm do explain because I'm choosing to not get upset here.


    Simple fact is, you had to cut your dreads to get varsity games as you said.
    My first job experience in this world I had log hair, people refused to hire me because of it.
    I know this because my friends who recommended me to their bosses at Subway & Intel told them why they didn't hire their friend.
    Wasn't because I was young, or because of my skin color, was because of my inappropriate/unkept/non-mainstream hair style.

    Now if you want to discuss how x hairstyle shouldn't be inappropriate or how employers should get over the fact that x hairstyle doesn't mean x potential employee doesn't can't do the job. Then that's fine, we can even discuss how there are far more ''black'' hairstyles considered not acceptable in mainstream society than any other ''color'' I can think of.
    But then again I question that. I could think of many ''white'' hairstyles that wouldn't be acceptable in mainstream society. Unless you or the two others who liked your post would consider changing the color of your hair not a ''white person thing''.

    I'm actually starting to get a little annoyed by being forced to label hairstyles ''white'' or ''black''. It's fucking hair. But if I don't label it color specific I could be considered 'insert whatever words here that paint me as a racist, or uncaring, or not understanding.'
    :banghead:

    Heck I could even go here as well.
    The girl I dated in high school, her parents first impression of me was a bum, drug addict. For one reason, my long hair.
    This isn't heresay, this is me sitting in their living room while her, and her father were in the kitchen arguing. 'Dad, he has a 4.0, and has never done drugs.' 'I don't care, you're not to see him anymore'.

    I might actually be done with this topic sorry. As reading this, this morning as put me in a god awful mood. So much so that I just yelled @ my gf for no reason. She didn't deserve it, so I'm going to go

    Weirdly, bragging about your lack of hair doesn't work that much

    Yeah you probably do need to take a chill pill and go buy your girl some flowers because you're trippin'. There's a lot of assumption in this post. And yes there are black hairstyles. Why are they being banned? And no you don't have to deal with it. Acting like you do is a false equivalence. Long hair is what I was saying was the false equivalence to those black hairstyles. Those are girls! Those are girls with long hair styles that are having their hairstyle banned. You probably should be done with this subject because you don't seem to have a clue about it.

    I wasn't saying you were gay, I was saying you were a NERD. Assume much?

    I guess not. But then I have been cutting my own hair since I discovered how cheap clippers were.
