Duncan sounds off on the dress code

Do-rag defenders cite its usefulness as a cover-up on bad-hair days. I've got an answer for that. It's called a brush.

Clothes don't really make the man, yet it's probably no coincidence that today both of them do indeed run major corporations.

To sum: dress codes are necessary for blacks.

Whites can dress as ty as they want (MLB players, Mark Cuban), and they will be evaluated on their character, because that's the American Way.

Exactly. What if Jesse Jackson went out and bought a sheet and a pyramid cap. Would that make him a member of the KKK? I don't think so. It didn't make Pat Boone an acid rocker when he started dressing like one, either.

It should not be about the clothes. Period.

I agree that a man should not be judged just on his clothes, but being professional for the most part in life is not enough you have to look the part as well. You may be a great guy but you do not show up to your wedding in jeans and a t-shirt or a big job interview like that either. Business casual attire is no big thing, some teams in sports require full suits and ties and restrictions on hair length and facial hair. These guys got off easy you may not agree with it but it does not mean it is ridiculous to ask them to conform to it. We all have to do things in life we do not want to do they are not above anyone else just because they are rich and privelaged.
