    I have asked four black people I know about whites wearing dreadlocks. The answers ranged from my cousin‘s Nigerian wife; „Haha, nah, it’s fine.“ to my neighbor „That’s something only white women care about“.

    It’s a step on the spiral of moral purity, that doesn’t actually improve the life of any black person.

      As a black dude with dreads I don’t care about white ppl with dreads. I just need you all to stop assuming I’m rasta or I’ll sell you weed

        Ok, but do you have weed?

        For reference, I look like John Lennon with longer hair and I definitely have weed. So the stereotype about me is 100% true.
