Dreadlocked backpackers act like twats on Koh Rong
They should be careful, there's a fine line between a "dread train" and pornographic dancing.

Yeah, hardly breaking news, but that's why I would never go to Koh wRong.

They would dread that, they only have a few Bob between them, so no bail.

Now, I don’t know why white people choose to wear dreadlocks, but there seem to be a few reasons. If you wear them as an appreciation of black culture, then by wearing dreadlocks and perpetuating white privilege as a result then aren’t you actually harming the black diaspora? If you truly cared for black people and not just their culture you wouldn’t want to wear dreadlocks.
Secondly, if you wear dreadlocks because it “looks cool” then you’re still perpetuating white privilege and you’ve chosen to be ignorant of the significant contemporary history. Finally, if you wear them because you think it symbolises a humanist ideal, then you’ve attached the wrong political meaning to them and instead you’re damaging the anti-oppression movement for which they truly symbolise.
If you’re wearing them and don’t believe in white privilege and are not doing anything to make yourself an ally to black liberation then it’s appropriation. If you’re wearing dreadlocks and don’t understand that you’ll be seen as #edgyleeds or #staywoke whereas a black person wearing it will be asked where to buy weed or why their hair so dirty, then its appropriation and white privilege.

Everyone is equal. Everyone has a place. No one is written off, because there is worth and goodness in every life... That is the Republican ideal. And if we won't defend it, who will?

What makes you think that the wearing of dreadlocks by white people has anything to do with black culture?Jimmy Crow wrote: ↑Sat Mar 24, 2018 8:43 am Now, I don’t know why white people choose to wear dreadlocks, but there seem to be a few reasons.

The wearing of dreadlocks is attested in many ancient non-Afrcian cultures from places in the Mediterranean, Asia, and the Americas. They were also worn in ancient Egypt, which was trans-continental.

Personally, I don't care whether or not a bunch of white hippies wear dreadlocks or don't wear dreadlocks.
I just wish they would appropriate the occasional bar of soap.
