TSA Will Stop Singling Out Black Women For Hair Searches

According to Coleman, the TSA and the ACLU reached an agreement in January. The agreement will involve training designed to prevent black women from being singled out for hair searches.

The TSA confirmed the agreement to BuzzFeed News in an email Friday:

TSA reached an informal agreement with the ACLU to enhance officer training. Racial profiling is not tolerated by TSA. Not only is racial profiling prohibited under DHS and agency policy, but it is also an ineffective security tactic.

In a letter sent to Coleman and posted online by the ACLU, the TSA further explained that it will retrain officers to stress “race neutrality.” The training will place “special emphasis on hair patdowns of African American female travelers” and will be designed to avoid discrimination.

#FreeTheNipples Goes Viral

To the girl who asked, “when was the last time seeing a mans (sic) nipple gave you lady wood? Was it NEVER?” and all those of the belief that it’s ok for men to expose their nipples because they’re, like, totally not sexy, whereas women’s are. Wrong again! Up until the mid 30s, it was illegal for men to flash their nips in public, because society deemed them too risqué, and, ultimately, too sexy for their shirt. However, in 1936, all this changed. Fighting for their right to #freethenipple, a group of topless guys from Coney Island got themselves arrested when they took to the beach one sunny afternoon. However, justice prevailed, and, from that moment on, men were given the legal right to get their tits out for the lads, all over the world. Gentlemen, your nipples have enjoyed freedom since the 30s; why not let women’s enjoy theirs?

Walking Used To Be A Top Spectator Sport

“Grand Female Walking Match,” announced the ad for Kernan’s theater in the Washington Star. “Six days, 12 hours daily. From 12 noon to 12 midnight. Admission to all 25 cts.” It may sound as boring as a congressional committee meeting, but in the spring of 1889, Washington was entranced by a series of “pedestrian tournaments” at Kernan’s, a theater on the northeast corner of 11th and C streets NW, where Federal Triangle stands today.

The races were the brainchild of James Lawrence Kernan, a Confederate soldier who became an entertainment mogul after the Civil War. Kernan hoped to capitalize on a craze that had begun a decade earlier. At the original Madison Square Garden in New York, endurance walking matches were wildly popular beginning in the late 1870s. Crowds of 10,000 or more regularly packed the rickety arena to watch men and women circle a one-sixth-mile track for days at a time. For a while, pedestrianism, as it came to be known, was the most popular spectator sport in the United States.

Valentino Garavani’s Rock Be Camoulflage High-Top Sneaker carries a hefty price tag of $995.00. But it also features details from the much cheaper and more well known AF1.

And after that detail, you might notice the shoe also has a similar height and cut to the Mid as well. Take it a step further, and the tongue label is executed in a similar manner to way the Nike tongue label appears on its Uptowns as well.
