lol that was my first reaction you guys gotta stop catching so many feelings just laugh it off and move on lol
I don't understand exactly what you mean (though it is likely something I would take as a compliment, being weird and all). I wasn't being subtle about privilege or anything. That is just something I've taken workshops in and have a passion for. I just am saying I see a huge change in this forum. I've been here a long time, and realize that is natural for things to change. It's just sad to me to see what this forum has become, the negativity is weird. The thing that confuses me the most is that so many people believe locks are a way of processing energy; they absorb it and transfer it. I don't know why we want to expose ourselves to this negativity.
Furthermore, though not completely related, I think what we need to do instead of getting so hurt over a random internet post is to change perceptions of dreads. Instead of changing or evolving people's views of dreads, we are reinforcing stereotypes.
i posted a really good (i think anyway) comment on there but it hasnt shown up yet...hopefully it will soon... i like the you dont bathe cause theres no water in africa and jamaica part...jamaica is an island..surrounded by water with many rivers... and if theres no water theres no life..its so incredibly ignorant
