A Black teen in Texas was recently suspended from school for having dreadlocks. His parents sued and the judge sided with the school, even though there is a law in the state that bans discrimination based on hair. I can see this going to the Supreme Court.
I have never heard such a stupid thing as hair discrimination. It's gotta be made up, I've never encountered or heard of anything like that. Yes, certain schools and businesses have the right to have dress codes, which includes hair. NO MATTER WHAT the race of the person is. If a law firm bans dreadlocks or mohawks for lawyers who appear in court, then they're banned for EVERYONE, not just blacks. Seriously racism must be completely over in this country if hair discrimination is the only thing left to complain about, things must otherwise be utopian!
i pray that the makers of this short film read these comments. i want to say that this is by far one of the best short films i have ever seen and i hits home ( Caribbean) in so many ways. i am going to show this to my daughters and also my son who is growing his hair, even though i had to write a letter, meet with the principal and beg for permission for his hair to grow. Met with my daughter's teacher and argued why does she have to taim her curly hair nor cut it as short as she wants to. we were taught to hate our blackness, taught that our hair is bad, skin too dark is bad, lips to bog is bad, nose too wide is bad and the list goes on even how we speak. this film is a very empowering one and should be made as a mandatory viewing in the schools and work places. Not to victimize anyone but to educate and teach self love from head to toe. teach acceptance, and apreacheation .
We have read your comments and really appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts, we hoped the film would both resonate and help to educate. Thanks for your kind words.
Was anyone paying attention to what Boss was saying to her. Another moral of the story is there. Why fight against who you are? There are times we need to embrace who we are and say I deserve this of who I am.
But in the real world, people have to follow dress codes, which includes hair style among other things, as appropriate to the career or role they are in. Your right to "be yourself" stops at the office door. The girl was sent home for having a hair style that was *inappropriate for the school.* End of! Why is that so hard to understand?
It starts in the schools and continues onto the work place. I have 3 sisters and have seen throughout the years how all the straighting and wigs have damaged their hair.
I've felt so many similar experiences related to discrimination on the basis of caste in India. Looking down at affirmative action policies is so common among Indian upper castes (so called)..the debate of merit and everything has made marginalized people doubt themselves at every point in life..the film must've given new perspective to people about affirmative action. As victims of caste we Indian Ambedkarites stand in solidarity with victims of racial discrimination. Much love! 🩵
The issue isn't that you are different; it's that some people choose to see you as different. White people have historically struggled with accepting differences and often create rules to deny non-whites their rights. This fear of becoming a minority stems from their inability to handle the prospect of non-whites having authority over them. We need to reach a point where we can have honest, compassionate, and respectful discussions about these issues. Racism is not innate; it is a learned behavior.
That was fantastic! It really captured the experience of high-achieving Black women and girls and the microaggressions we face. Plus it shows that we can have allies who know racism and discrimination is wrong. Excellent film!
If we've gotten to the point where we're complaining about "micro" aggression and perceived, as opposed to actual offenses, we must have come pretty damn far as a society. We're so non-racist and tolerant that the professional victims and race-baiters are losing things to complain about. Since actual racism is apparently gone, we just start making up new forms of it, or else the "XYZ Studies" departments are out of business. Thus, videos like this.
This film is so beautiful, I love seeing the way that black hair and black women get more representation and really digs into why these things happen and how they make us feel🫶🏽🫶🏽
What in this video had ANYTHING at all to do with race? The only people making it about race were the ones complaining about it. Dress codes are the same for EVERYONE. Nothing racial about it at all. And the tanning comment that was so contrived, NO ONE speaks like that.
@@tomservo75 I can tell you're not black or have black hair. It is about race, if your white or not, hair is a culture especially curls. Being told to repress that is in fact racist. YOU MISSED THE POINT!!!!!!
The only thing that I hate about my afro textured hair is I hate how different people treat me when I wear braids,love and twists. When I wear braids,locs and twists people are very mean, rude ,unhelpful and unfriendly towards me.
In African schools it’s a different story. There are two options for schools, to plait the hair in cornrows of a certain number or to cut it as low as bald. In short beautifying hair is not encouraged at all, hair has to be either hidden or not there. So as to create uniformity and avoid time wasting in hair but in studies. The only time young ladies can fully experiment and experience their hair is when they get to finish secondary school. It’s sad all over with black hair😢
If someone said “ You’re already white enough,” would that statement make any sense or sound stupid, ignorant, racist and/or highly offensive and inappropriate? Yeah, same thing. Some people are absolutely careless as well as clueless as to how their words affect others.
@@angelabrown-bessau4127 But I am not white. I am not an alino. But even albinos aren't white. So telling this to anyone is stupid. If you tell this to someone I will think you're an idiot, not racist 🤣. So... Are you 😉 By the way. You ARE literally brown. Like in a famous song. I cannot judge if you are brown ENOUGH, that depends on you. Is it enough for you? Only you decide
Okay it's a bit rude, but it's not the biggest deal in the world, it's just a joke. And yes, I'm Jewish and have faced much good-natured humor about it. How thin-skinned we've gotten as a society, that we have to LOOK for new things to be offended by, because the number of ACTUAL offenses is so small.
@@96_13. it's not a problem to be brown. Clearly, I'm brown, and there's no problem about it. HOWEVER, there is a problem when someone is telling you that you're enough of something. That statement also implies that there is something beyond being "brown enough", it implies that person also believes there is something as too brown. Those four words were actually very telling. If she were browner, would that then be seen as too brown by the rude lady that made that comment?? I think so.
We all need to unlearn the things society has been telling us about our hair... If I truly love my hair the way it is your perception is yours not mine
Now, to add to this is the perception and discrimination ""within"" the Black communities especially the movies and entertainment industries that promote this sickness themselves.. The internal pressure to look this way and that way has to be addressed as well.. Get this stigma dealt with, then one can say we are almost free from wanting to look like whites and not themselves as simply beautiful..
Older folks thinking is so mentally shackled...my mother told me this same thing when I was experiencing racism and harassment at work...pick your battles smh
What a fair-ry tale! I hope the future continues this way, all women can be who they are without focusing on a body part but as a whole person and individual ❤
Don't be sad. According to Buddhism, all we own and encounter are due to our deed in our past lives.Don't do evil things and do good for others in order to change your life. To learn the Buddhism in order to release your soul just is the most important thing in the illusive world.
Excellent film , good casting, script is simply brilliant and pleased to see some of the cast members were also involved in the production team, all very talented ✊🏼and I LOOOOOVE my natural black hair , it's beautiful 😂🥰
SHALOM YAHWEH CALLS HIS CHOSEN PEOPLE HAIR, PURE WOOL. AND NOT ONLY OUR HAIR OUR MELANATED SKIN THAT THE SUN GIVES US OUR ENERGY,RAYS WITHOUT SUNSCREEN. THE HEATHEN NATIONS ARE JEALOUS AND ENVIOUS OF US,YAHWEH CHOSEN PEOPLE. PURE BEAUTY!!!
Behaving in the manner of the female teacher, imo, one Must be in a state of constant paranoia. Upsetting one's spirit to the point of Needing to control the nature of another. 😬
Oohhh, black natural state. That got me. Thats for real. I cant imagine it happening now a days. Its too dramatised. Kids should be allowed though if thats just the way their hair is.
I have been straightening my hair since I was 8 years old I'm in my late 20th now. I have never worn my natural hair just to avoid questions about my hair I already stand out as it is. And it's easier to deal with when straighten. Due to the heat damage my hair is very short now and experience a lot of hair fall so I started wearing clip in extensions.... My natural hair is very coarse. I actually dont like my hair cuz it's a pain in the as* especially nowadays cuz it's very damaged from all the heat. I don't feel comfortable washing my hair and going out . I would love for a day where I can do that I actually sleep with my clip in extensions beacuse I can't be bothered wearing it again it's time consuming. I heard that causes cancer but who cares... I wish one day I can wash my hair and just do nothing else to it and leave the house with it in its "natural state" I wash my hair once I am done I use a heat protective spray that doesn't even work. Then I start straightening my hair which takes about 20 or something recently less cuz my hair is very very damaged from years and years of straightening. (It's so damage it doesn't stay straighten for longer than 5 mins.) Then I wear my clip in extensions to give me length. Which are so expensive I have been buying extention from one place for years I feel like I kept them open honestly. (And that's the reality for alot of African/African American women alot of our hard earn money is wasted on fake hair) Anyways I don't want to get stears tbh I get enough stears as an African the last thing I want is to also get questions about my hair. Also, I have never breaded my hair I sometimes envy some of these African women who bread their hair. Our hair is very hard to maintain which is another reason why I straighten it. Not trying to play the victim but being African is really a huge struggle in itself. I just feel like we are the most hated race I have no idea why? Maybe if we were not so weak and our governments were not tractors we would have lived in this world with more dignity and peace 🤷
I’m sorry you feel that way about your hair. However to strengthen it, try natural remedies like shea butter, mango butter, castor oil and Chebe. Those products can heal your hair, thicken your hair, returning moisture to your hair which is the main thing our hair needs.
Pleasantly surprised, great film, production and acting. But I did note this showcases a middle/upper class white demographic as being problematic, my experience has often been with left leaning woke white folks unwilling to address there own natural biases, which creates it’s own set of problems which can be much tougher to highlight and overcome because of there left aligning politics.
I was a bit lucky my dad had beautiful hair and skin it wasn't just me i always had soft pretty hair a touch of oil not a lot and i was ready to go my baby hair the edges was beautiful as i got older its turn silver and blk with waves nature soft hair
It's not racism to make ALL students conform to similar hair standards. And giving one group a pass to have crazy looking hair just opens the door to everyone else to do the same. Because there would be no way my kid would have to comply with any hair standard after allowing that.
The problem was the rules written by the school was created by a certain race with a certain hair type. The problem presented in the film was that her hair was "too long," which it wasn't. I'd be one thing for ALL students to comply with no color or possibly a certain length, but the girl in the film had her hair down just like everyone else. It was unfortunately racism for the school to not allow her to wear her hair down just like ALL the other students.
@@monicalove166 Maybe the correct standard would be to hold everyone's hair to be neat and groomed. There are white kids with crazy, wild, curly frizzy hair and that is not appropriate either. It's not a black/white issue. It is a grooming standard.
@@MinistryofPeace Just because the hair has volume doesn't mean it is not groomed. The girl in the film styled her hair. She shaped her hair into an afro and twisted 2 pieces of hair. I have the exact same hair type as her har and her hair was IN FACT styled! I think because it's not braided, pulled back, or straightened then it's not seemed as styled, but she was groomed. People are just uncomfortable with her natural hair down.
We have all done bad things, lied, and insulted... All of this is not pleasing to God. We are distanced from the perfect God because of our actions, but God loves us and sent His son Jesus, who is the Son of God. Jesus Christ was rejected by people who considered Him a liar and died on the cross. But on the third day, God raised Him to show that God pays the price for our sins. If you do not accept Jesus Christ as the payment for your sins, you will have to pay the price with your actions. Every person is a sinner, and no one has a life free of sin. The Bible tells us that we have all sinned: Romans 6:23 [23] For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus. Jesus Christ is the only payment for our sins, so accept what He has done for you. Jesus Christ is our first love.
I think this movie missed the mark the way it was presented in this movie. If a school is fancy enought to have a uniform, there's nothing wrong with having expectations about hair (seeking a more professional look). Problem with fros is that they can vary in size. I see nothing wrong with a black girl rocking a fro, so long it's not too big and is not obstructing view of students seated behind her. But when your fro radius is of half an arm's length why would anyone support that? It's no different from Dolly Parton walking into class with her massive behive. Brits, as other commonwealth folk, are trying to mimick muri cans, so they bring black po li tics relevant to their climate that's irrelevant in the rest of the world. They're trying to mirror same conversations that are brought forth in us. Here's a thing tho, in East Asian countries where uniforms are the standard in public schools, they have strick guidelines and if you ask a Japanese high schooler or a Korean girl at an all girl's school they tell you: makeup is banned, and hair has to be natural - no unnatural colors (blonde being commonly depicted as a rully student type in manga for a reason) and some will go as far as saying black hair only as that's the natural hair color of asians. Sometimes they even control the length. It has nothing about singling out an individual as this movie points out. I mean look at the labour force - people with bright haircolors and hairstyles like punks are not hired for office jobs lest the office job and office attire is super casual. It's just basic expectations about formal attire and has nothing to do aboutyour identity.... If I was a black girl I wouldn't be hung up on it. After all they're not asking you and demanding you to straighten and relax your curls. There's so many black girl hairstyles that are formal appropriate...
But you aren’t a Black girl. So you’d never understand. Who decided what it means to be professional? Europeans. This isn’t dramatized. This kind of thing happens all the time.
@@Arionidwell clearly you don’t have a drop of black in you source thousands and millions of words of people who actually have black in them that wear there natural and or cultural hairstyles and get punished for it get fired get dress coded get insulted get turned down from jobs all because of hair that is natural and or there cultural hairstyles
Okay, I watched about 3 minutes, that's all I can stomach. This is so contrived and over-dramatized. Hairstyle is just like any other part of a dress code. At NO point was there ANY evidence that the girl was sent home because she was black. This video wants you to just ASSUME that the comments about hair were racial. Dress codes are dress codes, they apply to everyone. All of this stuff about blacks being discriminated against for their hair is, as we say in America, ALL HAT AND NO CATTLE!
No it wasn’t. Her hair was perfect the way it was. Her hair naturally grows like that. Did you not understand the principal and the meaning behind this short film? The school insulted Ama and discriminated against her because of her natural hair - saying that her hair goes against whatever racist policy the school had was not only solely targeting her but also saying she needs to change what she’s naturally born with to make them feel comfortable.
A Black teen in Texas was recently suspended from school for having dreadlocks. His parents sued and the judge sided with the school, even though there is a law in the state that bans discrimination based on hair. I can see this going to the Supreme Court.
Sure the justices are looking forward to the "Hair Case." Trial of the Century that will be.

I have the exact same hair type as her har and her hair was IN FACT styled! I think because it's not braided, pulled back, or straightened then it's not seemed as styled, but she was groomed. People are just uncomfortable with her natural hair down.

Wow❤
I will watch it later.

Best ASMR ever 15:04
We have all done bad things, lied, and insulted... All of this is not pleasing to God. We are distanced from the perfect God because of our actions, but God loves us and sent His son Jesus, who is the Son of God. Jesus Christ was rejected by people who considered Him a liar and died on the cross. But on the third day, God raised Him to show that God pays the price for our sins.
If you do not accept Jesus Christ as the payment for your sins, you will have to pay the price with your actions. Every person is a sinner, and no one has a life free of sin. The Bible tells us that we have all sinned: Romans 6:23 [23] For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus.
Jesus Christ is the only payment for our sins, so accept what He has done for you. Jesus Christ is our first love.

I wonder if the mom gets married would she lose her job, just a thought?

Ridiculous and woke-ish ! Everybody is tired of all that political BS.
I think this movie missed the mark the way it was presented in this movie. If a school is fancy enought to have a uniform, there's nothing wrong with having expectations about hair (seeking a more professional look). Problem with fros is that they can vary in size. I see nothing wrong with a black girl rocking a fro, so long it's not too big and is not obstructing view of students seated behind her. But when your fro radius is of half an arm's length why would anyone support that? It's no different from Dolly Parton walking into class with her massive behive.
Brits, as other commonwealth folk, are trying to mimick muri cans, so they bring black po li tics relevant to their climate that's irrelevant in the rest of the world. They're trying to mirror same conversations that are brought forth in us. Here's a thing tho, in East Asian countries where uniforms are the standard in public schools, they have strick guidelines and if you ask a Japanese high schooler or a Korean girl at an all girl's school they tell you: makeup is banned, and hair has to be natural - no unnatural colors (blonde being commonly depicted as a rully student type in manga for a reason) and some will go as far as saying black hair only as that's the natural hair color of asians. Sometimes they even control the length. It has nothing about singling out an individual as this movie points out. I mean look at the labour force - people with bright haircolors and hairstyles like punks are not hired for office jobs lest the office job and office attire is super casual. It's just basic expectations about formal attire and has nothing to do aboutyour identity....
If I was a black girl I wouldn't be hung up on it. After all they're not asking you and demanding you to straighten and relax your curls. There's so many black girl hairstyles that are formal appropriate...
But you aren’t a Black girl. So you’d never understand. Who decided what it means to be professional? Europeans. This isn’t dramatized. This kind of thing happens all the time.
Ok my whitewash opinion is black women have best bodies best smiles!
# GH
scenarios that happen: never 💀
What?
Are you serious?
This happens all the damn time.
@@Philosophicalblackman source: you made it up 💀
@@Arionid my source is personal experience, asshole.
Obviously you're not black yourself otherwise you wouldn't be arguing with me about this.
@@Arionidwell clearly you don’t have a drop of black in you source thousands and millions of words of people who actually have black in them that wear there natural and or cultural hairstyles and get punished for it get fired get dress coded get insulted get turned down from jobs all because of hair that is natural and or there cultural hairstyles
@@Arionidspot the racist
This would never happen nowadays. Maybe in 1950-60s. Cant imagine it nowadays. Open to correction with specific examples.
speak to the teenagers at your local school
It does happen in my country girls had to protest to be allowed to have their natural hair. So yeah it does happen
It actually does happen just because you don't want to pay attention doesn't mean it doesn't happen
It happens all the time.
Google it 🤪
Very few cares about your curly hair these days. Let it be as it is.
Okay, I watched about 3 minutes, that's all I can stomach. This is so contrived and over-dramatized. Hairstyle is just like any other part of a dress code. At NO point was there ANY evidence that the girl was sent home because she was black. This video wants you to just ASSUME that the comments about hair were racial. Dress codes are dress codes, they apply to everyone.
All of this stuff about blacks being discriminated against for their hair is, as we say in America, ALL HAT AND NO CATTLE!
You are in NO PLACE to be commenting on other peoples hair 😂😂😂
“Blacks” yeah you’re a racist
“ it’s her hair “, look lady go tell it to God as he is the one who had the AUDACITY to put it on her scalp that way. 🤭🙃.
I mean her hair is a lil unprofessional
No it wasn’t. Her hair was perfect the way it was. Her hair naturally grows like that. Did you not understand the principal and the meaning behind this short film? The school insulted Ama and discriminated against her because of her natural hair - saying that her hair goes against whatever racist policy the school had was not only solely targeting her but also saying she needs to change what she’s naturally born with to make them feel comfortable.
Nah it looks very good and healthy 👌 and her hair grows like that so ...
🤡
Good film
