Mens Urban Clothing Apparel a Target for Discrimination

In the state of Iowa, some nightclubs have been found discriminating against blacks by not allowing people wearing certain brands of clothing to come to their establishments.

Representative Wayne Ford, a Democrat, has proposed a bill that would prohibit businesses from discriminating based on the brand of clothing people are wearing. He said that it is most applicable to the hip-hop generation wearing young mens urban clothing apparel.

The House Human Resources Committee approved the bill on Wednesday. The bill states that it is a discriminatory practice for any business that charges a fee for services, facilities or goods to discriminate based on the brand of a person's apparel.
