I am a 19 year old college student. Right now I'm visiting my mother down south for the summer. I was placed under suspension from my job for my dreads. How can things like this still happen to good hearted people? Do the inhabitants of Babylon still fear the truth that is locked within my dreads?

Greetings in the name of the most high Jah Rastafari
Things like this still happen, but you need to look into this and stand up for your rights. You have the right to have locks be smart dont back down.

Greetings I
One of my bredren was arrested for robbing an old lady. He was arrested because of his locks. Even when his friends told the police that he was with dem at this time, they arrested him. Yes Babylon is wicked!

Greetings
yes babylon fear truth, thats why they do not teach us at my school about slavery i came to know about slavery from burning spears song slavery days then i looked on the internet to see wether it was true and i was appaled.
the question still remains why can't babylon look on the inside instead on the outside, i regually get searched i find it funny because i don't smoke, but because of the dreadlocks and only because of that i get searched why because locks have a bad reputation for looking like you are a thug thats why i read up on my rights and if they want to be an arse to me ill do the same back.
we are standing in the fire of babylon all the time, but we must not get burnt,
because of the responsibility of carrying dreadlocks of being searched and so on someone said to me if you cut your hair then you will not get hasle, but if i was to be do that it would be giving in to the babylon system i went through alot to cultivate locks and im not backing down, yes it would improve my life as my town is increasingly becoming more violent as the gothic population grows the kevs ( rude bwais ) are out to stamp out anything different to them, sadly i am seen as a goth because of the locks and locks arnt always related to RasTafari . Dreadlocks is a very much popular thing for kurt cobain wannabs and maralyn manson followers so that puts me in the spotlight for kevs
ajala there is responsibility carrying locks and we need to accept that we will be thought less of by the shitstem but in the end we will get home while those heatherns will be blown around in the seas for ever.
stand in the fire but dont get burnt

Research the laws where you at and look through the employee handbook or whatever. If white folks (I'm assuming you're Black, perhaps I'm wrong) are allowed to wear say shoulder-length hair or whatever then you could make a reasonable claim of discrimination I would think. A lot of times companies try to get away with illegal things simply cos they assume employees don't know the law and won't check. If you've got a union bring up the issue with them.
Course if you do all this and find out they are acting illegally etc., they could still make up some other excuse to fire you, so it goes... Research your rights though and stand up to them.

Babylon is never going to accept anyone or anything that is positive for Nubians. They only accept and encourage things which mirror their societies.
English is the devils language@iNK

Blessings to all!
Allow me to quote:
Until the philosophy which holds
One race superior and another inferior
Is finally and permanently discredited and abandoned
That until there are no longer first class second class citizen
Of any nation. Until the color of a man’s skin
Is of no more significance than the color of his eyes
That until their basic human rights are equally guaranteed to all,
Without regard to race.
That until that day,
The dream of lasting peace, world citizenship
And the rule of international morality
Will remain but in a fleeting illusion
To be pursued, but never attained…
-Haile Selassie
....Still under the reins of Babylon.....but....not for long....
