Decades after Juneteenth and a civil war that claimed over 600,000 lives, the terror waged against our African-American brothers and sisters wasn't over. WARNING - Graphic story: #Juneteenth #juneteenth2025 #MaryTurner

A Sense of Doubt blog post #3775 - Juneteenth - Freedom Day. https://sensedoubt.blogspot.com/2025/06/a-sense-of-doubt-blog-post-3775.html #juneteenth2025 #FreedomDay

In a salon that claimed “haircuts for everyone,” four different stylists said no to cutting one man’s hair: a polite, hopeful black man.

He didn’t “seem aggressive,” or ask for a complicated style, he just asked for a haircut.

This comic is based on a real event from my time as a hair salon receptionist here in Washington. The experience never left me, especially because this state is supposed to be one of the most progressive states in the country.

People love to make excuses. They say “maybe she didn’t know how to cut textured hair.” But she did. And so did everyone else I asked. I would know cause it was my job to know. I WAS THE FLIPPIN’ RECEPTIONIST. I SCHEDULED ALL THE HAIRCUTS.

This Juneteenth, we’re remembering that racism doesn’t always come dressed in slurs or violence. Sometimes it’s passive denial of service, even sometimes with a smile.

We see it. We remember. And you better believe we speak on it.

Because black lives matter every day, not just when it’s convenient to say so 🖤✊🏽

For anyone wondering, yes I told the manager. No, they didn’t do anything about it or even investigate. They just made the same old excuses that are always made.
