There is no such thing as racial distinction, we are all exactly the same. I get told this all the time, it must be true.

The Hijab is cultural, not religious.

Self-appointed public representatives and would-be spokespersons of the so-called (and self-identified) "African-Americans," descendants of 'our peculiar institution, etc. are of late prone to accuse their lighter skinned fellows of "cultural appropriation" when the latter adorn themselves with 'cornrows" and/or dreadlocks; by showing their ignorance of the fact that the aboriginal populations of Britain and of Brittany, to name but two groups of Europeans, wore these and other adornments millennia before Jamestown.

Unfortunately, no young American product of our government schools is equipped with a proper history or historical perspective, so this, though regrettable, is yet understandable.

I’ve seen plenty of whites with dreads, usually undesirables of one sort or another. Nothing racial about bad taste in personal appearance!

To: jazusamo; All
Thank you for referencing that article jazusamo. As usual, please note that the following critique is directed at the article and not at you.

"The EEOC argued that the company, Catastrophe Management Solutions, committed racial discrimination in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964."

FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument

Patriots, we need to demand that the corrupt federal government, especially the Supreme Court, references specific constitutional clauses to justify its actions and decisions, not post-17th Amedment, constitutionally indefensible federal laws like Title VII.

From related threads ...

Note that the only race-based right that the states have amended the Constitution to expressly protect deals with voting rights as evidenced by the 15th Amendment. But since this insurance company issue is clearly outside the scope of voting rights, the feds have no constitutional authority to stick their big noses in this politically correct discrimination / diversity issue.

Note that a previous generation of state sovereignty-respecting justices had clarified that powers that the states haven’t expressly constitutionally delegated to the feds are prohibited to the feds, the so-called power to address racial issues outside the scope of voting rights in this example.

”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.

In fact, even if the states had expressly constitutionally protected against discrimination outside the scope of voting issues, note that the Supreme Court had clarified in United States v. Cruikshank that enumerated constitutional rights protect citizens only from actions of the state and federal governments, not from individual citizens.

Consider that the unconstitutinally big federal government has historically been known to exploit politically correct issues to try unconstitutionally expand its powers, this insurance company dress code an example of this imo.

In fact, James Madison and Thomas Jefferson had warned patriots to be on their guard against the feds unconstitutionally expanding their power in subtle ways, this lawsuit a good example of this imo.

Remember in November !

Patriots need to support Trump / Pence by also electing a new, state sovereignty-respecting Congress that will not only work within its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers to support Trump’s vision for making America great again for everybody, but will also put a stop to unconstitutonal federal taxes and likewise unconstitutional inteference in state affairs as evidenced by misguided discrimination lawsuits.

Note that such a Congress will also probably be willing to fire state sovereignty-ignoring activist justices.
