That's like complaining about their not being a National Caucasian day. Appreciation is given to women because we are underappreciated and mistreated by men in the first place. These days it's not so bad, you can just demand the whole world supports your desire to not pick a gender due to how unfair life is.
Citation needed, men receive harsher sentences for the same crime, are more likely to me convicted, more likely to lose in custody battles and when they win the female pays less than a man would, higher suicide rate, higher workplace death rate, paternity fraud, and make up less of college population today. I personally would like a national Caucasian day. Only because I am interested in the genetics of this group. I mean we white people get go drink milk in adulthood
not that many other groups get that. We also get a higher alcohol tolerance, yay dirty water .

I hate to break it to you but microaggressions are an actual issue, especially with racism. A microaggression is making a comment about a black person's natural hair being unprofessional or a comment about how smart they are for a black person. And yes they are what keeps larger oppressive structures afloat. Most racism isn't as in your face as lynching anymore, but the small things are what make it so people are negatively impacted.
Marxism and Nazism aren't even nearly the same things, and I admit I'm concerned for your mental faculties that you think they are lol.

That doesn't sound serious. If someone's hair is unprofessional in a workplace then they should abide by the rules everyone else follows. If someone says you are smart take it as a compliment, it could just be poor wording. How does hearing those small things negatively affect life? Feelings don't count. Racism used to be lynchings, being owned, lacking voting rights. Now it is a comment about hair.
I'm not sub-Saharan African and have straight hair. I can wake up, brush it, and go to work, and not have my hair be considered unprofessional.
Sub-Saharan Africans have very tightly curled hair. It naturally grows into what would be considered an "Afro". Why should my natural hair be considered professional and their natural hair be considered unprofessional?
Why should natural non sub-Sahara hair be considered more professional than natural sub-Saharan hair? Why should they have that added burden of having to style their hair styles more similar to the natural style of non sub-Saharans to be considered professional?

Isn't dreadlocks a style? If I ran a business my stands for work attire would be pretty low, but if you want to work the job there you have to abide by the rules. I have never heard of dreadlocks forming naturally and from my understanding western Africans make the bulk of the countries African population.

Actually real deadlocks are natural lmao. The hair curls around itself easily. White dreadlocks are not. Our hair not does work that way and so we must be unhygienic to maintain it. Black people with dreadlocks wash their hair and take care of it. Also, no just dreadlocks. Curly hair is often considered unprofessional (actual curly hair, not white curly hair which is just wavy lmao).

Thanks, didn't know that. I know many people it's dreadlocks, I like the way it looks. Personally I only consider unnatural hair colors unprofessional. I admit my bias, but I associate certain hair colors like blue with crazy. My therapist is Jewish and his hair is naturally curly, but he works for himself. My grandmother tell the day she died curled her hair.
