pyx: I’m saying it White people with dread locks is gross. I don’t care how anti-racist you think you are. It’s gross and horrible cultural appropriation and it makes me uncomfortable. Don’t do it. Just don’t have dread locks. I guess you have a huge problem with black people having straight or blonde colored hair right? No, you probably don’t because it only matters when something is against black people. And I can’t believe something as small as fucking hair makes you uncomfortable. Grow up.

1) White supremacists have punished black people for displaying their cultural heritage, including having dreads. Nobody punished white people for having straight hair. Big difference.



2) White supremacists also forced black people to wear straight hair. Meaning that white people wanted black people to wear straight hair. Meaning that white people willingly gave permission to black people to wear straight hair.

“Cultural appropriation” is taking important elements of another culture against said culture’s will. Not according to.
