Re: Am I being a racist when...

if your hair was the consistency of a brillo pad why would you want to grow that **** out?

thats one of the reasons they do that. dreds or braids allow you to have long good looking hair even when its nappy as an sos pad. you form the dreds or braids and then youre done for a month. otherwise your choice is to have it really short or shaved off, to have a big 70's fro, or spend lots of money and time and scalp burning to get it straightened

I don't have a problem with the appearance, but there is a reason why every military force in the history of ever has required short hair: it's one less thing for your opponent to grab when fighting.

Actually the reason was more likely uniform appearance and prevention of head lice in cramped quarters, but grabbing hair was probably a part of it.

That's right. Caucasian hair generally falls as it grows, negroid hair generally grows out and is stiffer. It's an adaptation to environments - the falling locks of the caucasian retains body heat, the negroid locks dissipate heat.

Re: Am I being a racist when...

no, no, not a stereotype. Just something I've observed over the years.
stereotypes are for people who can't figure things out for themselves.

I have also had bald guys tell me they would grow it to their feet if they could.

Chances are if you put your picture up here. A number of us could find something about you that we don't like either.
But I wouldn't judge you because of how you look.

People who judge other people by how they look are really dumb people.

And you did quote Glenn Becks site. Just saying.

1. Where do you think stereotypes come from? People observing things and coming to unjustified conclusions.
2. Who gives a **** what the bald guys you know say?
3. My picture is on the site. No one had any complaints.
4. No one is JUDGING anyone. I'm saying that in my opinion, it looks stupid and it's an irritating distraction. Deal with it.
5. I didn't notice it was Glenn Beck's site, but it wouldn't have made a difference anyway.

You didn't know? You're not allowed to have an opinion if someone else disagrees with you.

I'm with you, for the most part, it looks stupid. Some guys though, it looks pretty bad ass; guys like Marion Barber and Eddie Lacy come to mind.

I'm just glad we weren't playing the Patriots, because Coleman would have definitely flagged Bradham for a horse collar tackle.

What ever guy,

I would think that a guy who picked a homosexual Greek as a screen name would be more tolerant.

Agree with you on this topic, Sparticus.

Why doesn't the team tell the player he must cut his hair to prevent this?

Why do you think?

Because the would surely be accused of racism.

Whether the charge is true or not is of zero consequence. All you have to do is make the accusation and any conversation stop, and all facts disappear.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't the Yankees have some such rule about long hair and facial hair?
