I am from a middle class family. Where people who wore dreadlocks were considered nasty naggers (pronounced neigh-gers). Who could go to prison, not get a job, be discriminated against by every body else, whites dividing and conquering by infecting the rest of us with hatred for the "nasty hair" which my dad still maintained until recently, and probably even now, is not properly washed. For following their religion. Which was, of course, opposed to white colonialist bullshit. I was not too happy with the idea of just seeing it as a style, though I am getting more comfortable when it is worn by african descended peoples. I didn't know the Hindus wore it as well. Thats fine. But white people? After all the damage that they have done? Need to take their rapacious hands OFF THAT HAIRSTYLE.
