ACLU investigating Six Flags ban on ethnic hairstyles

6/17/2006 1:50:27 PM
By: Associated Press

LARGO, Md. -- Black employees at a Six Flags America amusement park in Maryland say they've been banned from wearing ethnic hairstyles.

Several employees who wear dreadlocks, cornrows or other long styles say they've been ordered to cut their hair. Even those who wear costumes all day are affected.

The coordinator of the American Civil Liberty Union's national campaign against racial profiling said it's culturally insensitive and possibly discrimination.

A spokeswoman for Six Flags said the park's new general manager is merely enforcing a policy that's been in place for years.

I don't know about Maryland, but the Six Flags in New Jersey is basically a zoo. It's like the African Safari was so popular, they decided to add it to the whole park.

It's just like that for the one in Maryland. PG County is very high black population. The black parents buy season tickets and let their niglets run wild there will they leave them unattended. Avoid.

Negro in the NY papers today who stabbed a white woman at the mall said he's fighting a race war.

When we finally start fighting back, it's good to know the ways of the enemy. If you want to be able to herd a lot of negroes into one place for *whatever*, then all you have to do is declare free admission day at Six Flags.

Six Flags employees fight ban on ethnic hairstyles

It's right there, under "Extreme Hairstyles," in the 2006 seasonal handbook for Six Flags America employees: no dreadlocks, tails, partially shaved heads "or any hairstyle that detracts or takes away from Six Flags theming."

Braids "must be in neat, even rows and without beads or other ornaments," the amusement park handbook advises.

That prompted Tim Bivins, 18, who has worked at Six Flags America in Largo, Md., for two years, to cut off several inches of his hair and pay $50 to have it braided into cornrows. Not good enough, he was told. Cut the braids shorter or go home.

Shannon Boyd, 17, bought a wig to cover the locks she sports under her Tweety Bird costume. Not appropriate, she was told, because the wig wasn't her natural hair color.

Jonathan DeLeon, who had been growing his fanny-length hair since he was 7, was hired in March to portray Sylvester and Daffy Duck. A few weeks later, however, he was told he would have to cut his braids, which were more than 3 feet long. His mother whacked off more than 2 feet, but it wasn't enough, park officials said.

"They told me I had to cut them even shorter or go home," DeLeon, 17, said. "They said they wanted an all-American thing. That's what they said to all the Black people. I had already cut it a lot, so I just left."

Femi Manners and her 16-year-old son, Shakir, agreed he would not change his hair: short cornrows with a small design braided in. She contacted the American Civil Liberties Union, which is investigating complaints from more than a dozen Black employees of Six Flags America.

"This is culturally very, very insensitive and possibly discrimination," said King Downing, coordinator of the ACLU's national campaign against racial profiling.

"Many of the people who go to Six Flags have locks and twists and Afros," said Demetrius Hall, 16, of Suitland, Md., a Muslim who said he will not cut his hair, for religious reasons. "Black people are not offended by those hairstyles."

Wendy Goldberg, national spokeswoman for Six Flags, said the policy has been in place for years. "I understand they don't want to conform, that this is a matter of heritage and pride," she said. "But you can apply the question of heritage and culture and not conforming to piercing, shaved heads and tattoos."

Walt Disney Co. also holds employees to a grooming policy that limits some ethnic hairstyles, agreeing only six years ago to allow mustaches and three years ago to let men wear short cornrow braids.

"The hair has to be clean, natural and polished," said Jacob DiPietre, park spokesman for Walt Disney World. "I don't think dreadlocks are allowed."

Linda Jones, who edits a newsletter called Nappy News for people who wear ethnic hairstyles, said "it is very telling" that theme parks forbid such styles for employees.

"Why not point out mohawk or mullet (styles), too?" Jones asked. "They only specify dreadlocks, and who is more likely to wear those styles? Are they saying that styles that aren't in keeping with the European aesthetic are not professional?"

Largo Six Flags America was taken over last year by Washington Redskins owner Daniel Snyder, and its new management has pledged to tighten operations and make the park more "family friendly." Terry Prather became general manager in February.

Prather, who is Black, said allowing employees to wear hairstyles that violate the park's policy would lead to customer service problems. He said he has dealt with the ethnic hairstyles of his children, ages 23 to 33. "I totally understand it," he said. "I live with it."

Prather and Goldberg said exceptions are made for employees with a religious or medical reason for not cutting their hair. But Hall said he was ordered to change his long, straight hair despite his views as a Muslim.

They have a huge nigger theme park, called Africa. Amazing attractions like Lizard Hunt With A Sharp Stick, Flies On Your Infants Face, and the ever popular White Farmer Murderdome. The problem is getting them all to go...

HAHAHA!!! Good one.

This is just another example of what happens to everything niggers, and mexicoons touch.

Years ago, I was in nigger infested Great America, in Gurnee,Illinois. Some nigger cut in front of me in line. I called him on it, and he wouldn't get out of line, so I beat his ass. When security came by, they made it seem like it was my fault. I told them, they should thank me, cause I did their job for them.

Do you know what the dumbass security guards did? He let nigger boy, stay in front of me, so I beat his ass again. This time they finally threw him out of the line. Thinking I was the trouble maker, security tailed me the whole rest of the day.

I haven't been to one of those monkey parks since, and never will again.

Just as a sad stament, a bunch of the White Boys we're given me attaboys, and thumbs up. When at one point I had 3 niggers try grabbing me from the back, and my gf, at the time, was beating on them with her purse. Not one of those White Guys lifted a fuckin finger to help me out. I have to say it got pretty intense, and it damn near started a race riot.

These fuckin theme parks, can all kiss my ass. They have catered, and bussed niggers from skools, as field trips, catered, coddled them, and kissed their asses.

They did it to themselves, now they're whinin. It couldn't happen to a more deserving bunch of fuckin jews. I hope Jewsney is next.


Niggers aren't human. Humans don't behave that way.

God Bless Elon Musk, Donald Trump, and America, and God Damn the anti-white, anti-christian, and anti-American jewish controlled media.

Astroworld (also a Six Flags park) in Houston closed down a few years back because it was "losing money" which was probably true, but the reason they weren't making any profit was because the place was overrun by niggers, who naturally drove off the bread and butter patrons of the park, e.g. middle-class White families, with their TNB, inlcuding a riot on at least one occasion. I'm sure the cost of the apes' admissions wasn't even coming close to the cost of the extra maintenance and security required to keep the place from turning into a total zoo.
