]]> Comment on Grown Men With Braids In Their Hair by MidwestLady http://blackhoney.net/grown-ass-men-with-braids-in-their-hair/comment-page-2/#comment-8582 MidwestLady Tue, 29 Jun 2010 20:31:14 +0000 http://blackhoney.net/grown-ass-men-with-braids-in-their-hair/#comment-8582 Stumbled across this blog post and was surprised at how differing the opinions were. I have worked in corporate America for years and honestly, I have not seen ONE man with cornrowed hair in those offices. I knew one gentleman with twists, one with dreads kept shoulder length and pulled back, but they were not in upper management positions. Now, these companies were not progressive lines of business (they were large financial advisory firms, insurance firms and professional consulting firms that dealt primarily in the US). I am aware that many companies that work in multi-ethnic and trans-atlantic business deals, that have exposure to varied cultures, and/or that have a younger management staff or CEO seem to be more accepting, but unfortunately, that doesn't seem to exist here. While I do not agree with the blanket stereotype about men with braids, I do understand the frustration. As black women we deal with as much discrimination as the men do. It is hard to have to conform to social stereotypes in order to get better paying jobs, only to find that there are a selection of men who do not want to do that, and so therefore do not go after jobs that would require them to alter their appearance. No one is saying that they are not attractive (on some, not all) and no one is saying that there are not exceptions to the rule. I would wear certain styles of braids, but when I worked for the Investment Banking firm, I did not keep my cornrowed hair in long because I was not included in client meetings and not asked to travel to client events during that time - something I can directly attribute to my appearance as it is a direct reflection on the company. the same amount of time that is spent on buying the proper rims for a car, the proper shoes to go with the proper suit, the proper chain and earring - I want people, men and women - to spend that same amount of time just considering if their personal style preference is holding them back in any way... And this is not just a black thing, because I have also yet to see a white person with dreadlocks, cornrows, or even micro braids in a high level position either.

Pay for it with a credit card. If your order gets lost, tell them. If they don't rectify the situation, call your credit card company for a charge back and let them handle it. Vendors HATE charge backs because of the fees, so they'll try to satisfy you first. I would order it via regular shipping. Pay for it with a credit card. If your order gets lost, tell them.

I thought that was pretty odd.Who sends their children off to someone else's house and then tells them not to call home?
