    I was in the military a while back and had more than a few black roommates. I asked a couple of them why they let one or two fingernails grow, and they told me it was to show that they didn't do manual labor. It's hard to keep long nails when you're doing back-breaking work. Maybe times have changed (this was in the '70's-early '80s), but it made sense back then.
