lol @ my mentor and co-protege

they really fightin over my hair!

quick recap:
my mentor, who's also been a REALLY SHITTY mentor to me and this other guy, makes some not-so-constructive criticism abt my hair.

my co-protege, who was already pissed that dude is a shitty mentor, gets into it with the mentor ON MY BEHALF



now they are in a full-fledged email war about my hair, professionalism & the workplace, racism, etc etc.

and i aint even participating! these niggas just CC:in me on this bullshit thats ABOUT me but not OF me, and all i can do is laugh.

here's the latest round:

We must get past this hair thing. Did either you or Andre' pick up the, "How to Dress for Success" book?

LIsten, i am far too well versed in argument and colloquy for you to write me some note suggesting that racism still exists. We all know that. What i am trying to get Andre' to see is that how you look will not likely make a favorable impression on those who do not look like us. But, how you look CAN make an unfavorable impression on those who do not look like us. Why give them the excuse? Why give them the ammo? Listen, i would like for you or anybody to explain to me the value, the heritage, the rationale behind wearing "twists." Can you say, "I wear my hair this way because Frederick Douglas wore his hair in this fashion?" NO! The only person in our history who i can recall received some acclaim or notorienty who wore his hair in that fashion is BUCKWHEAT, O'TAY? Andre' should loose the dreads (in my opinion). And, Prentice, you are more mature than Andre', you have worked in an arena where there is much prejudice. Do you see many in the high command at the MPD in twists or braids? Do you think wearing them would help or harm the career of a person aspirig to the high command in the police department? i already know the answer. Do not encourage Andre' to do something that you KNOW could harm his career.


Have a productive day!

lol @ the random "have a productive day!" at the end.
