I actually really like it now its red ^-^ Racist and disgusting smh. I’m getting sick of seeing white girls with dreads on my dash. So disrespectful. Locs are only appropriation if they’re done by a false/aesthetic Rasta, anybody’s hair can loc with some guidance to keep the shape. Shut the fuck up you ignorant, irrelevant jar of mayo mickeyblowsyourmind , please take the floor so i asked my father today (again because of this nonsense always happening). he grew up among rastafarians from the country where rastafarianism originates. we had a long discussion about many things and then i asked him “so about white people in dreads, a lot black people claim that white people can’t wear them because it’s cultural appropriation. thoughts?” my dad WHO IS A FUCKING BLACK JAMAICAN WHO ESSENTIALLY IS RASTA HIMSELF SAID “what would be the problem? as long as they’re not pretending to be rasta, it’s okay. it’s just hair.” and also, if you want to cry cultural appropriation, black americans who aren’t jamaicans or even jamaicans who are black not part of the rastafarian faith are appropriating too since it’s not in their culture. but guess what? it fucking isn’t. some white people don’t have the hair to be dreaded, yes. it looks like misplaced creativity on some. but goddamn, hush. Now, who does your father remind me of??? But seriously, we’ve had black people do a shit ton of stuff to appeal to white people that falls under anti-blackness perpetuation, from segregating black people by lightness and darkness in education and beauty standards to degrading black people that speak in AAVE (while, not surprisingly, praising white people/nonblack people who speak AAVE) do you honestly think you and your father tokenizing yourselves as the white person’s friend/excuse for anti-black racism against thousands of outcriers is anything new or different? How in the name of high-fucking-heaven is this “anti-black racism”. Even if I were to entertain the notion that this was cultural appropriation for one second , that still wouldn’t even remotely make it anti-black. But it isn’t appropriation. You’re actually a fucking idiot if you think that dreadlocks, which a multitude of cultures, listed here had: The Hindu deity Shivaand his followers were described in the scriptures as wearing “Jataa”, meaning “twisted locks of hair”. The Greeks and several ascetic groups within various major religions have at times worn their hair in locks, including the monks of theEthiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church, theNaziritesofJudaism, QalandariSufi’s, theSadhusofHinduism, and theDervishesofIslam, among others. The very earliest Christians also may have worn this hairstyle. Particularly noteworthy are descriptions of James the Just, first Bishop of Jerusalem, who is said to have worn them to his ankles.[4] Pre-Columbian Aztec priests were described in Aztec codices (including the Durán Codex, the Codex Tudela and the Codex Mendoza) as wearing their hair untouched, allowing it to grow long and matted.[5] InSenegal, the Baye Fall, followers of theMouridemovement, a Sufi movement ofIslamfounded in 1887 byShaykh Aamadu Bàmba Mbàkke, are famous for growing locks and wearing multi-colored gowns.[6]Cheikh Ibra Fall, founder of the Baye Fall school of the Mouride Brotherhood, popularized the style by adding a mystic touch to it. It’s important to note that warriors among theFulani,WolofandSererinMauritania, andMandinkainMaliandNigerwere also known to have dreadlocks when old andcornrowswhen young for centuries. then you are truly, undeniably an ignorant individual. I’m surprised you can even get wifi with your head so far up your ass. i feel so sorry to the OP cause their picture became a billboard for social justice. -- source link
