Yardie Skeptics Radio (S.04, e.02): Discrimination Hair to Stay?

What is it with rules designed to police black hair, black bodies and black identity? Where does one draw the line between an outright abrogation of freedom of expression and a request to obey basic rules of decency and decorum? Are we trying to tame the #unkempt black hair, or subdue the rebellious black spirit? 

Joining our discussion will be noted Jamaican attorney-at-law Bert Samuels, and his daughter Ayanna T. Samuels, together with Marie Hitchins.  Bert and Ayanana wrote a column in the Daily Gleaner on this subject which can be seen here: http://jamaica-gleaner.com/article/focus/20160925/bert-and-ayanna-samuels-hopefield-prep-are-rules-just-rules
