Who knows If he was Rasta, i honestly didnt car what he was. I just thought it was funny that he was staring me down for having dreads, Ive never seen someone so pissed off over a hairstyle of which they actualy have before.
Black people that get offended obviously don't realize that many cultures have a history of having dreadlocks at some point or another and that us whiteys are not necessarily trying to steal their culture.
i had a black dude with locks tell me im not supposed to have dreads once....once.... after i choke slammed him onto the fire hydrent he never said it again, then once i had a white dude tell me i am trying to be black with my locks, after he got his head outa the toilet, he never said it again...i have no tolerance for peoples bullshit comments, so i dont even let it lead into an arguement..now, if peeps come to me and just wanna talk and have a shot, thats cool, but when peeps approach me with there cultured attitudes, it gets ugly....
That is awesome :cheers2: I guess I really dont care if people stare or whisper to there friends, but Yes I will say something to someone if they approach me and say ignorant comments.
I dont worry or lose sleep over it. Like I said above, I could care less about the stares or whispers behind my back, but when someone bluntly says stupid shit to me to my face, I get kind of pissed.
I love It when people ask if they can "sniff" them, I usually let them, just to their surprised face, "Ohh they dont smell bad at all".
HAHHA oh I know, or some people ask to touch them. then say, wow those feel really nice and really clean! Well yeah I wash them. Oh I thought you cant wash dreads. thats my favorite line, and its usually by dumb ditsy bitches at the bar.
What is even stupider is posting about how stupid it is... I agree with Liz, and it doesn't have to be specifically about my hair... if someone gets in your face to say something moronic, there is nothing wrong with telling them they are a moron. I'm sure Natural Philosophy will now negative rep me saying that I am stupid... go for it!
Don't feel bad, np dings me all the time. Here, you can try and neg rep me to spread some around first. =)
dont worry =) I've heard people talking on my back telling "look thats disgusting" while pointing to my dreads. Dont pay attention =) be happy
