I dont really think its considerate to people's sensitivity. I dont really have a problem with it except for those who dont care what it signifies. If you want to embrace black culture, more power to you. But if its just a trend or fad to the person then its offensive
How is it offensive if someone simply chooses to wear their hair in one style opposed to another?
its because it has a meaning. if someone goes by your "one hairstyle of another" philosophy then its inconsiderate because its only fashion. it devalues all meaning behind it. just know what it means and care, its not that hard.
I mean.. Think about what you're saying though... If you're to go around and care that significantly about such minor details.. You're in for a trip, no offense. It's cool that you think that like.. But realistically.. It won't get you anywhere so it's better to just stay simplistic sometimes.. Because, for example, what if you're to leave the house wearing one color tee shirt as opposed to another? In different cultures, different colors mean various different things.. So how would you ever leave the house wearing anything at that point? That's an extreme example but hopefully you get my drift.
As long as its celebrating a culture and not mocking a culture, then i dont see anything wrong with it. In this case, its completely harmless
There's nothing wrong with doing that except it just looks horrible
I honestly don't care how people choose to have their hair...
Same here. I definitely don't believe it should be an issue
I think it's ridiculous. Cultural appropriation for white people having dreadlocks? And yet, no one screams foul when Beyoncé has blonde hair...
Cultural Appropriation accusations = Cultural Marxism !! Double standards rearing their ugly heads yet again...& far too much whining about irrelevant , pointless BS !!
I'm totally against cultural appropriation. White people should not wear dreadlocks and non whites should not use any white inventions, from mobile phones, modern medicine, clothing, cars, airplanes...
And why is that? Life would be a lot harder without those kinds of things
Cultural appropriation is a stupid concept invented by SJW to be racist.
Why this thing even exist, im asking. Sounds so ridiculous that I can't think this could even be a subject to discuss. KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
It's not appropriation, its the fashion look... everyone has it. wtf.
Yeah it's pretty ridiculous in my opinion
It's perfectly fine. In my country people do "cultural appropriation" and people find it normal. It's not an issue at all.
White dreadlock... stop this bullshit. Cultural appropriation is ridiculous... Are we in a tribe or something. It's nothing but pushing for divide.
seen this videk like 2 years ago. i really dont care. but i will say this blacks used to have to style. thier hair because having their hair their cultural way wasn't right for white American work place. but when a whitw pwrson does it its edgy and cool hip.
Yeah.. That had to suck a lot.. But nevertheless.. As a society we're slowly progressing forward.. Also, there's plenty of people who don't like white dreads at all.. You can see just on this question
No we are not people hide there true feeling in order to save face in public whether that means for jobs , friends, or dont wanna be punish.
Where I'm from "culture appropriation " is celebrated an encouraged.
What do you think of that?
I love it. That is what an inclusive society is about. Sharing and spreading your culture is a great thing, don't you think?
Yup yup! It's great to spread culture for sure
If white people want to look ugly in dreadlocks (everyone does) then who cares
I think blacks have better hair for that. On whites, it looks... I don't know... It just don't look right.
As long as white people give credit to the people who inveted said culture it's not wrong.
I am still waiting for white people to give credit to Indians for inventing yoga. It's such a shame that yoga is associated with white people.
Whites, Native Americans, Asians, Europeans and African Descent shouldn't admit to anything about why they like to dress the way they do..
They don't need to walk around with a sign around their neck proclaiming where they got their sense of fashion from.
People with naturally curly aren't losing sleep when other's with straight hair are getting perms.
People with straight hair aren't losing sleep with those that have curly hair are straightening their hair.
Most people of any color don't even think about where yoga came from. But if it makes you feel better,, maybe you should advertise it on the internet, it will eventually circulate the globe.
Your comments appear to be racists in nature.
@Anticipation <--- What he said
thank you,,
what sort of things do you like to write about?
@Anticipation
Racism: The belief that ones race is superior to others.
Show me where I said I am superior because of the colour of my skin? by the way calling people racist makes you racist. Ask yourself why yoga is associated with white soccer moms and hipster vegan white dudes? Who gave them the right to make money off of an ancient practice?
Also if you think I am white then you are sadly mistaken.
White soccer moms? Racism and Sexism in three words, not bad.
You are isolating race in a way the degrades one particular color of skin. White. You are acting like the authority with superior insight.
It wouldn't surprise me that you find interracial dating wrong,, a white man dating an AA woman or visa versa.
Many who practice yoga know that it derives from Asia. There are many that do yoga, do it for the benefit of stretching, not caring where it derives from.
If one believes that dreadlocks don't belong on a certain race, then they are acting superior and are being a racist.
@Anticipation
Lol liberals sure love using the words racist and sexist. Thats all you know.
I AM NOT WHITE STOP ACCUSING ME OF BEING WHITE I AM INDIAN!!!
Also why are you bringing up interracial relationships? Since you brought up the topic your racist white women refuse to date Indian men so it seems your white women are the racist ones not me.
I have no problem with dreadlocks etc. I am talking about YOGA. You are a very arrogant douchebag.
I'm not a liberal,, to tell you the truth I thought you were the liberal.
I never said you were white. In fact I could tell that you weren't white and actually have a beef with whites,,
If it will make you feel better for me to recognize yoga derived from India great, that is where it came from,, I'll let all those white soccer moms know too.
@Anticipation
And you whites have a beef with Indians calling us scammers, racist, pervs, "rape culture", ugly, blaming us for a whole host of problems from stealing jobs to tech support, making jokes about us and having a racist character called Apu appear on a T. V show for 30 years which is used to mock and bully Indians.
no,, whites in general don't think about that stuff,, we are too busy trying to take care of our families,,
America is multi cultured,, probably one of the most diverse nations on the globe. We can't be bothered about where dreadlocks and yoga comes from.
You need to relax.
The outsourcing jobs you are referring isn't India's fault,, it is the fault of bad monetary policy by the Globe's Central Banks, which elevated hire costs' onto businesses and minimum wage growth, pricing ourselves out of the global economy.
I think they're ugly for some but some can pull it off. I saw a girl with them in Tennessee and she looked great
The vikings wore dreadlocks thousands of years ago. So it's actually apart of white culture
dreadlocks in general are a horrible look in my opinion
Why the fuck is this an issue? Peole can style themselves however they want!
