As a white man I want to say its important for us to speak up too. Black women have beautiful hair in every style. Their hair shouldn't play a role in the workplace (or anywhere else). we don't mandate any other race and the way they wear their hair and black women should be treated equally. I support black women I hope you do too!

imagine you’re having a terrible day and you start yelling at someone and then john quiñones walks out💀

That first lady was holding back demons when she looked up at the ceiling 😂😂😂😂

The woman that cried with the baby stole my heart 🥹❤️

I’m so happy this show is making a comeback!

Interesting how the people that supported the hiring manager wanted their face blurred.
Almost as if they knew what they were supporting was wrong 🧐
Stand strong in your opinions don’t be scared 😂

The things black people and children have to go through is crazy

[carolinemarchand]

her hair looks so well maintained, shiny and vibrant!

[GeenPoblin]

The stress cleaning from the lady with the gray shirt is so funny. I feel her on that haha

I got SO emotional watching this - as a black woman who was VERY insecure growing up, I did not embrace my own beautiful natural coils until I was in my late 30s. And I LOVE my hair. Its my crown and part of my identity! To be looked at as if I'm unkept because of how God made me, just hurts to hear.

The father and daughter combo, those are people you want to work for ✌🏽

The last 1 made me cry 😭. The empathy she had. 🙏🏾

[doyourhomework]

Sis cleaning the table had me screaming... 🤣🤣🤣🤣
She was there with it 🤬

As a Black American woman who has experienced this very type of discrimination it brought me to tears. For people like me that have hair that defies gravity the subject can be quite sensitive. For the people who stand up and use their voices for good I applaud you.

7:01 But the interviewer's "straight hair" looks like she just woke up 😂 The curly hair looked cleaner too. Hair style doesn't matter

[stationa]

this reminds me of the recent suspension of a student, darryl george, at an american school because his natural hair violated the dress code. now the court has ruled that the school is allowed to restrict the length of students' natural hair. absolutely infuriating.

The last girl made me cry. We are all human. She just touched my heart with that notion. I wish everyone would know this.

😹 The baby is so funny. Just all up in the conversation.

I’ve had two bosses call my hair messy and lazy. One of them even held a meeting with my other two coworkers about how “frizzy” hair is not acceptable and how if you’re going to wear your hair in a bun your hair should be gelled back and straightened. I was the only one who ever wore my hair up and curly. And also my brother was told by a Mormon bishop that he had to cut his dreads because they were distracting to the congregation. People are racist and ignorant everywhere.
