This ruling (refusal to hire based on Dreadlocks) interferes with our cultural right. The U.S. Court of Appeals ruled in favor of CMS (Catastrophe Management Solutions), affirming that it’s legal for companies to refuse/terminate employment based on hairstyle. Their logic is as follows: No hairstyle is inherently linked to any particular race.
This seeds major cultural and religious impact to African Diaspora (communities throughout the world that have resulted by descent from the movement in historic times of peoples from Africa, predominantly to the Americas) , The first amendment and Title VII outlaw racial discrimination. This ruling conflicts with The 9th amendment. This emboldens corporate discrimination based on not just the natural state of our hair, but any state.
