    As an African American/West Indian man, this is exactly what it is like. No matter how decorated, educated, and experienced I am, the adversity and disadvantages I face are based on bias and judgment. Puts me in a position where I am often not selected due to my “cultural hair style.”

    They now have the crown law in some cities...Trying to establish throughout other cities in the USA... The Crown law fights discrimination toward cultural hairstyles...

    Dreadlocks are not property or proprietary to any race. They have been around since the Minoan Civilization. Many modern Celts still wear them. If he were looking to dispel misinformation he should have mentioned how far-spread they are through cultures and races.

    Fact: All human hair turns into free forming dreadlocks naturally over time if not cut or groomed. Which means that dreadlocks are as old as time, the beginning of man and woman, before civilization and recorded time. Cave man had dreadlocks millions of years ago, even longer ago.
