They would do this to White people, also, if they had long hair, though. This is obviously madness that they are trying to make this into a race issue however, I do think he should be able to wear his hair as he pleases, as long as it doesn't effect his job. Cornrowes might be a perfect alternative to anyone who like to have long hair, White or Black.
Hair has to be cut so that it's off the collar and above the ears as stated by policy. In this respect his hair is both 1. Off the collar 2. Above the ears thus there is nothing in violation with his hair other than the superiors stereotyping the hair style.
As a white male who has worn my hair long most of my life, I was glad to see the case against UPS, originally brought by black males wanting to wear dreads, resulted in all males being allowed to wear their hair long with a few reasonable guidelines maintaining neatness. When I was in my 20s, I worked at Waldenbooks and the rule for male hair was IF it's long enough to go into a ponytail, IT HAS TO go into a ponytail.
This is the reason a lot of folks won’t go into law enforcement I live in Georgia and I know a lot of guys with tats and long hair we won’t join and become a clone!!
Of course the racists have to be petty.....smh , the brother sounds intelligent and does his job. Once again another black man has to deal with more BS...... smh, its sad and disgusting how people worry about THE WRONG THING.

This is why states like illinois have a CROWN ACT barring employers from discriminating against ethnic hairstyles. We need this passed on a national level
