Anonymous asked: Hey. I don't know if you know this but I'm still madly in love with you Kim possible. Just wanted to throw that out there.
:] You called me Kim Possible.
Only, I should be able to wear my hair however I want it because it’s my god damned hair. Stop being so close minded and stop worrying about how people do their hair. It is in no way racist for me to dread my hair. I like it, so I’ll do it. Seriously, in this day and age? You shouldn’t be worrying about how people do their hair, there are more important things to be pissed off about.If ur white and have locs pls unfollow me cause ion got the time 2 put up with ur nonsense.
or how about dreads aren’t exclusive to POC seeing as the celts, scandinavians, vikings, and many biblical figures wore them as well. get your head out of your ass. you’re not a special snowflake.
The Celts and Scandinavians/vikings did not wear dreads (the celts limed their hair which is completely different from locking it, and both celts and scandinavians wore their hair long and braided which is also completely different from locking it, there is no definite evidence for either culture wearing locs), and the biblical figures were PoC and many of them may have had afro-textured hair. In fact, there is a line in the bible describing jesus as having hair “like wool”.
White-textured hair does NOT loc, it only mats, and trying to imitate black people’s locs is appropriative and racist because of the history of black people being dehumanized and mocked for the natural texture of their hair.
end of story.
EDIT: the closest non-black hairstyle to locs is jata which is matted hair worn by certain religious Indian men, and has a great religious significance in India and thus should not be appropriated by anyone else.
OOP
white people tried it
and they failed lol
