CROWN, which stands for “Creating a Respectful and Open World for Natural Hair”, will also make it illegal for employers to discriminate black people for having unusual hairstyles.
Infowars.com reports: For example, black female managers wearing wigs and weaves and appropriating white women’s hair styles will never be accused of racism, but a white manager at Taco Bell who fires a black worker for not wearing a hair net properly will probably face civil litigation for discrimination. Woke laws are meant to create privileges and double standards, not equal protections. As Shapiro notes:
“Real freedom means being respected for who you are – no matter what you look like, where you come from, who you love, or who you pray to…For too long, many Pennsylvanians have faced discrimination simply for hairstyles that reflect their identity and culture – that ends today…”
“This is going to help people by making sure that, wherever you work, or wherever you’re applying for a job, they can’t look at your hair and size you up – not based on your qualifications and all of the professional development you have and all of your education,” said PA House Speaker Joanna McClinton. “They will not look at your hair and decide you can’t work here. They will not look at your hair and decide you don’t belong in this C-suite. They will not look at your hair and say, ‘you can’t be in the boardroom.’”
U.S. Rep. La’Tasha D. Mayes, a West Philadelphia native who now represents parts of Pittsburgh, was the lead sponsor on the bill and said the fight will help improve lives across Pennsylvania. “Hair discrimination has taken confidence from our children, but that ends today,” Mayes said. “Hair discrimination has taken dignity from workers, but that ends today. It has taken access to economic opportunities, hopes and dreams, but that begins to end today.”
First and foremost, no one has a constitutional right to be “respected” for who they are. No one is entitled to protection from the personal judgments and scrutiny of others. Respect is earned, not guaranteed.
Second, there are no hair styles among black Americans that are race specific. Every style activists claim as racial property for African descendants is present in the history of other ethnic cultures including whites. For example, “dreadlocks” are found within the Minoan civilization (Greece) as early as 1600–1500 BCE. Intricate braided styles were common among the ancient Germanic and Norse peoples.
Third, it is virtually impossible to determine if a person is being discriminated against because of their hair, unless an employer openly says “I won’t hire you because of your hair”. Legislation like the CROWN Act can’t be logically enforced. Instead, the laws are meant to force employers to walk on eggshells around minority applicants and employees; to pressure companies into DEI hiring by making civil retribution easier.
The likelihood of any person facing discrimination at the workplace because of their hair is minimal. Out of the 130,000 race based lawsuits every year in the US, only 20-30 related to hair are filed and resolved according to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). A state like PA might not see a single case of actual discrimination based on hair for years to come.
There is no epidemic of hair racism. The passage of laws like the CROWN Act are intended to make the public think that such a problem exists when it is actually an oppression fantasy.
