It’s not JUST HAIR!!!
This touches my heart. Do you see how adamant he is?
Be still, my heart.
Take note, white people who refuse to acknowledge this; take note and stop saying it’s just hair, it’s just fashion, it’s anything but cultural appropriation and racism for you to do this with no respect.
This is what the fuck I mean when I say locs aren’t “just a hairstyle”. just like headdresses aren’t “just clothes”. when something is sacred to us, special to us, an integral part of who we are and you SHIT on that by doing it to be “cool” or “trendy” or “fashionable”, you’re being a racist fuck and you should expect to be corrected, with or without politeness.
already posted this but i’m reblogging again for the added commentary
