Dirty?!?

Yesterday, my boss casually mentions how she seen a white guy in the mall the other day, and his hair looked so "dirty." They guy's kids had locs too, and she laughs and says, "wow, they have a future."

I was so offended, I almost cried. And I alsmost forgot that this happened until I just looked in the mirror and remembered my twists in my hair.


Some people can be so insensitive. I don't know one could interpret this:

...as dirty. Maybe because when you google the words "dreadlocks," "dreads" or "locs" silly grinning white people pop up. Nothing against white people, but they not black people make dreads look bad. I've never know a black person who had locs that I didn't want to touch. And I know plenty; I'm one of the neo soul hippie chicks.

I couldn't imagine running my hands through a set of white people locs.
