The last time I saw a white guy with dreads in the wild, he was riding a bike barefoot across my college campus and stopped to rinse his dreads off in a nearby water fountain.

Dreads are gross idgaf who wears them.

Cultural appropriation is the very real phenomenon where things are seen as low class, trashy, unprofessional, or whatever, until white people do it. The reason why you can't go well what about suits and straight hair is because minorities are expected to mimic white culture to be treated anywhere close to fairly in terms of employment, day to day interactions with shops/restaurants/police etc. This then means that when you see famous white person cash in on stuff white people previously looked down on there's some pretty well earned resentment, rap is perhaps one of the easiest examples of this when you get people saying poo poo like "im glad someone is finally rapping about important stuff rather than bitches and hoes" and it's inevitably a white rapper. Its not so much resentment over people stealing or diluting their culture (which would be dumb because stuff like dreads developed independently across the world) but instead its anger over the general feeling that something is bad when minorities do it but okay when white people do it. With dreads people will think hes a harmless dumb hippy for example but if he were a big black dude people might be intimidated or associate it with crime.

That said its more an academic discussion thing and less of you should get snippy about white people wearing dreads or twerking, people who do that usually have a very shallow understanding of the topic and just want an excuse to feel vindicated while being be a dick to someone, such as the event in the op.

Yeah thats true to, ultimately if you want certain styles of dance, art, music, fashion, etc, to be accepted mainstream you're going have to let white people coopt them but that in itself should be considered a problem.

ArbitraryC posted:

That they're considered bad until white people do them too?

Also, minorities depended upon "cultural appropriation" in order to integrate into America in the first place, whats the big deal? St.pattys day rocks.

I mean cultural appropriation is bad like when Elvis took the black singers' songs and became rich and famous while they died in poverty and obscurity. That's damaging and bad. This is just hair. Who gives a gently caress about hair?

Zyklon B Zombie posted:

That double standard sucks, but wouldn't you want a bunch of people rolling around with dreads then to take away the stigma?

Applewhite posted:

Actually there is a white hairstyle with the same baggage, it's called a "mullet" and if you have one you are probably a garbage person.

argondamn posted:

if black people appropriate the mullet and white people appropriate it back, does it become cool and acceptable?

ArbitraryC posted:

like simply because you've only seen clickbait articles and youtube videos on a topic rather than a professional succinctly summarizing an intro doesn't mean the topic itself is invalid

Lots of white people have dreadlocks and it's not a problem for black people. I've been to hundreds of parties and chilled with all kinds of people and somebody having a kind of hairstyle is objectively not a problem. I like to see a bunch of cops write long winded essays about how it is a thing, because they are so desperately trying to protect their little mutilating bitch boy cops who go around and mame people and gently caress up their hair. They don't want have to face international tribunals for violations of the geneva convention, which includes maming and mutilation. I could have saved people this whole thread but it's fun to see racists come out of the woodwork and show us how loving stupid they are.

I just got threatened by a bitch cop who "liked" my hair but when confronted about his sexually he wanted to "rip it all out" and started making theats and was literally trying to coax a fight of me, spitting at me and poo poo. And his theory is if they have another cop do it tomorrow to one person in one location it's a social norm and idiot cops can make some idiot spiel on the Internet and news about how this is a social thing. So we go from compliments to threats in the span of 2 minutes. They are literally trying to justify this daily campaign of cops harassing me. And bitches pulling stunts on the Internet. I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say they say they think they have everyone fooled by fooling themselves into believing it.

I decided to wash just my dick and balls with soap 'cause I sat on the toilet to poop and my dick touched the edge of the toilet and I thought to myself "this is probably full of germs" so now my dick and balls are nice and showered feeling but the rest of me is greasy and I wonder "why didn't I just take a whole shower" and came here instead to talk about it on Something Awful Dot Com so

how's everyone doing?
