 Is the Army Banning Natural Hairstyles on Black Women?

We think this is a disgrace and it should be outlawed. Unfortunately, the army has its own lawyers, laws and government and this makes it very difficult to get true justice. We are praying for these women because this is not only a conspiracy but its slavery.

Read the story below:

In reaction to a new Army regulation banning numerous hairstyles — twists, dreadlocks and large cornrows — popular with black women, the 16 women of the Congressional Black Caucus have asked Mr. Hagel to overturn the regulation on behalf of the 26,700 African-American women on active duty in the Army. The regulation comes at the same time as a new Army rule banning tattoos on the face, neck, hands, fingers and lower arms of recruits.

Both regulations are among new grooming standards that critics say are meant to further weed people out of an Army reducing its size from its post-9/11 peak of 570,000 to as low as 420,000 in the years to come. Representative Marcia L. Fudge, the Ohio Democrat who is chairwoman of the black caucus, said she had been struck in recent visits to military bases by how many soldiers — black and white — said they felt they were being pushed out of the military. The new regulations, announced on March 31, have intensified that feeling, she said.

Yep. We can see why this is happening. They don't want black women to be in the army so they use 'natural hairstyles' as an excuse to push them out. America accepts so many things in this world but they still hate the black woman for being who she is.
