Note to white people with dreadlocks:

the reality is dreads are the natural state of hair, & to follow this dudes logic only egeptians should be allowed to comb theyre hair since they invented the comb so presumably were the first to try avoiding the natural dreading process
i've had my dreads almost 1/2 my lifetime & all i can say to this ignorance is, dread or dont dread that is your choice.. but you cannot force your choice down the throught of anyone else

peace

 

LMAO @ templedragon!! Beaver Paddles! I've had those, but never heard that name before. They are flat, unlike dreadlocks. That is the perfect name!

soaringeagle. The Egyptians may have invented the comb, but they all shaved their heads to avoid head lice, and wore wigs. At least thats the way it was according to the discovery channel. <g> Edit: Nice job on the rainbow site.

 

yeh man, I knew this chick who had the largest beaver paddle I ever seen, her whole long hair, down passed her ass turned into one big, honking mass of hair-ball. It looked completely uncomfortable.

I personally never found the solid-clumpy dread paddle attractive per se, and chose to dread mine a little more traditionally. It is a trip losing so much length at first. My hair has not been this short in 25 years at least. Been dreaded up for about 10 months or so. Just startin' to show growth.

The pic of me below is from '88 at the Darling ranch across from the Oregon Country Fair. I've had a full beard for years now, and I have grown out of those flag tails.

And I want to apologize to the sister that I was responding to earlier, I didn';t intend my tone to sound to arrogant and self righteous. I just have good friends with dreads like you described. I meant ya nothin' less than hugs and nugs.

Om Ma Ni Pad Me Hum

I am 32 years old, Black, and a dread, and there is nothing i love more than a hot blonde with dreads or a cool ass white homie with dreads. How can you call it stealing when it is your hair? You can do whut the f#@%! you wanna do with your hair. I don't think dreads is really a style. Going to the salon and getting it cut, now that's a style, we're just lettin' it all free. Not really worried about it at all. it's natural. it just grows. like whutever! Don't even look at my hair. And i don't even listen to hip-hop. But i guess i should, if it's somethin' that your against then i'm all for it. Get a clue.

 

wow, yeh go get got em, get it? itz duh grey pink red an black titz, includz japz coreanz and chinkz an indianz from darkest ignorance everywere.

 

I feel sorry for you... and jsut to let you know, "our" rock music stemmed from black people. as well as marajuana smoking. not that they were the first, but in the 60's, thats where we got it. people be free to be your own person, do what u feel. If u want to be dirty be dirty, if u want dreads go for it. follow your own path, and let u decide whats right

My hair dreaded on its own, I didnt do it And I've always kept it clean
And I resisted current day beauty standards for women by not combing it.

 

baahaha

 

ok, girlz are temptin.

 

is that where the beatniks in the 50s got it???????????
​

 

I feel bad for u poop. Chill out its just hair. Its called not combing it!!! PEace and LOVE to ALL!!

 

I sense a narc!

 

Stole dread from black people? Just like we stole blues to fuse into Rock music? First of all, even if dreads DID come from the rastafarians (I know that they didn't but just saying evn if they DID) we are not "stealing from black people" we are incorperating a concept into our lives! If that were the case, then no one but hindus should to Yoga, we shouldn't use stoplights becuase they were invented by a black person, as was peanut butter, and man, you can't go around accusing people of one race of stealing from another! What does it matter if they are black or white or what? Jimi Hendri was black, as well as the gratest rock guitarest ever (in my opinion), Eric Clapton is white, and a great Blues player! Mr. T had a mohawk (which we "stole" from the american indians!), I mean, where does the crap stop? If we can't live together and exchange customs and ideas, we would be segragated! Isn't that what civil right was all about? You know, all races are EQUAL? Including white people!

 

i think it is hilarious that poop's image on his bio is of the ultimate *hair do* made famous by the *happy little trees* artist Bob Ross... World famous for his White Fro! Take a tip from Bob poop, and Chillax!

 

HHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHA
so ignorant of the truth.
thanks for making me smile!

 

Do they still use the term narc? I thought they were called lo pro po now. I can't keep up with all this fo schnitzel with a pritzel lingo. I mean schnitzel I can handle, but can't they spell pretzel right? <g>

 

What exactally iz yoh angry about? Oh i sea yoh iz frum LA.

 

I'm sorry to say this, oh wait I'm not, you're an ignorant ass. It's people like you who make this world a displeasure to live in. Seriously. Stupid people.

I have a hunch that you know SHIT about "dreadlocks". First, not everyone with dreads is a "Rastafarian". That's not a requirement for letting your hair knot. I should know. I'm not white, I'm not a Rasta, and I have knotty hair.

Second, people with dreadlocks (not all, but most) WASH THEIR HAIR. We are NORMAL PEOPLE. Just like you. IT IS STILL HAIR. What on god's green Earth makes you think that we don't wash our hair? Your stupid misconceptions and stereotypes, that's what.

Since when do you have to meet a skin pigmentation requirement to have knotty fucking hair?

Throwing away the comb is a great alternative for a lot of people. It is freedom to a lot of people. Black or white, red or green, or yellow.

You know shit about dreadlocks, or having dreadlocks, so maybe you should go and educate yourself before you spew your venom.
