Pricing by hair type?

Hmmm...has the OP posted any other replies in this thread?

The other website attached to this site is Rapunzel, something or other, havent I seen that logo on this board before?

In my Keith Sweat voice..."Something..something just ain't right"

I posted a few replies. When I found the site it made me feel funny. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't trippen by being offended, so I asked ya'll. I have been reading (and laughing!) At some of the stuff y'all are saying. Ya'll crazy.

Whether this salon falls under the Civil Rights Act or not, that doesn't negate the fact that their practices are f'd up. What happened to common sense or human compassion? Because this business isn't violating any MAN-made laws, that means they aren't doing anything wrong...and we can't talk about it?

I'm no law student, but if I remember correctly EVERYONE falls under the First Amendment to the United States Constitution, Freedom of Speech.

I honestly find your wikipedia/googled definitions of discrimination laughable. [\QUOTE]

You think the information included in my post came from Google & Wikipedia? LOL. The first thing you should have learned as 1st year student is not to confuse assumptions with facts. The info came from YEARS of experience fighting exactly the type of discrimination and ignorance this salon is helping to spread.

I guess we all know what side of the courtroom you'll be on in a few months . Congrats on your upcoming graduation.

@ your comment about "what side of the courtroom I'll be on," (is that not an assumption??? ) you don't know anything about me. A GOOD advocate can argue both sides of anycase. That's the first thing they teach us in law school, if you really want to know. You should want an attorney that can see both sides so that he or she can anticipate and refute the other side's arguments.

If I had the time or inclination, I could research cases that would support an argument that the salon should be considered a place of public accommodation. That wouldn't change the current precedent, though.

Glad I was able to make you laugh
I have a very basic, very basic understanding of the law from taking a few law classes in college. Obviously I am not a lawyer or have that much experience with the law as extensively as you do from being a law student. I understand how rulings are decided from studying cases in classes as well. I understand that many judges base and use prior rulings in order to decide a court case. I understand all of that. Beyond that I have no knowledge. The only thing I remembered that seemed to fit this situation was the Civil Rights Act and that specific Title that I learned in a few classes that outlawed discriminatory practices.

Even if no one actually went to this salon, we still have a right to be mad at the differences in prices that they have. I didn't experience Jim Crow, lynchings, and slavery but I'm mad at that too. I don't think anyone was planning a march on the salon or anything else, we were having a discussion based on the OP. At the end of the day, no matter what the "law" states (laws can be changed), what that particular salon is doing is disturbing in my eyes and I think it is wrong.

How anyone else can see that this is okay is beyond me.

I wasn't trying to bash your legal knowledge. I only responded to your post because you quoted me and responded to mine. I quoted bride91501, so she responded to me and vice versa.

You all were having a discussion, and I'm a member of this discussion board...so I joined in the discussion. Someone else may come in and refute what I posted. That's fine....ETA: I think I posted all I could possibly say on this topic, so I'm done.

Thank you priss_Pot - common sense, what a novel idea. It's as if some people think this nation's founders threw it out the window when our laws were written

ETA: I think you may be my first hair crush Gorgeous hair

Just because you get a bunch of "thanks" on your post does not mean that you actually know what you're talking about.
