susiethemoderator:thebucketless13:susiethemoderator:WHITE PEOPLE PLEASE STOP THIS MADNESS. It’s racist and for you to dismiss it as such is also racist. They do not look good, idgaf a black person helped you get them… They just wanted your money, not your morals.You do understand that dreads aren’t just a hairstyle? It’s not just who can form them and who cannot?YOU UNDERSTAND THAT DREADS HAVE A WHOLE CULTURE AND HISTORY BEHIND THEM?white people cannot naturally form dreads.What you get when you don’t wash and comb your hair is matted hair (like when you don’t comb your dogs coat). THATS IT. It may tangle, like all hair does. White hair cannot dread, I’m not sorry.And when you says naturally I’m guessing you mean when you don’t comb or keep it up, which just means you have dirty tangled matted hair. Some black people are born with dreaded hair. NO white people are born with dreaded hair, if born with hair at all.STOP looking for a scapegoat your hair doesn’t naturally form a dread, it’s matted hair. MATTED HAIR, it’s not called matted it’s called dreadsBUT THE CELTICS HAD DREADS TOO?!?11!?Edited CORRECTION via @bornabitch-allthedaysandnights“There is a very big misconception that other cultures’ hairstyles are the same thing as dreadlocks, and they are not. This is a very bad way to homogenize cultures because it ignores the differences that we have in our histories and practices, namely for the sake of getting something we feel we’re entitled to. There is no historical evidence that other cultures have ever had dreadlocks …Celts did and still do a hairstyle called Glib.The glib hairstyle is actually not like locks at all. This hairstyle is described as being a solid mat of hair that covers the forehead, and resembles a bowl cut or “helmet hair”. [Example] (Source) This was typically worn by soldiers.”ouranhighschooltwerkteam, enjoy your newfound knowledge and stop trying to justify the appropriation of dreadlocks. Oh and here is a post tearing apart all the inaccuracies on that knotty boy site, which is just a bunch of white people rationalizing exploiting dreading traditions for money. Even though I hate dreads with a passion I feel like you need to stop immediately! You are literally shaming people for a hair choice! The same can be said that if a black person has normal hair that it is racist; now u jut read that statement and said “wow, no! That is stupid” hmm let’s oh wait…. It’s the same exact thing! I don’t care if it’s specific to a heritage or some stupid thing! They like how they look wearing these and they are a freaking choice so suck it“I don’t care if it’s specific to a heritage” AND THERE YOU HAVE IT FOLKS. White people admitting they do not care if it is religiously or culturally significant to a group of people. The black community already knew this, but thanks for clarifying. -- source link
