I think the reason they do this is because....They want to be connected to others through collective "cultural practices".....but "whiteness".....doesn't Have collective cultural practices. Portugal, Britain, Spain, France, the Netherlands and Denmark.....all Have cultural practices that Differ, from country to country. However in the mid 1600's, the indentured servants from these countries....in "America".....Willingly gave away Their own Native Identities and Cultural practices. Their own languages, their own foods, their own hairstyles.... Just to be called "White" and what did they get for it? They were Still Indentured servants. The only thing they obtained, was the ability to Police...Enslaved Africans! The Difference.....When Africans, from different Tribes...with different Languages, Foods, Cultural Practices.... were sold into, captured and forced into, breed into enslavement. They didn't Willingly give up Their own Native Identities and Cultural practices....Those things were Taken from them by Force! BUT...... after hundreds of years enslavement....Stayed tethered to their African roots and collectively created, New Tribes! Collectively created their Own Languages, Own Foods and Own Hairstyles....that tie back to their African roots! If I say to members of, My Tribe regardless of Where they are in the "united" States....God is Good....the members of My Tribe....KNOW the response! If you're a Member of My Tribe....Reply with the Answer and Where you're From? I'm from Louisiana....God is Good....

Really? I see this all the time with black women who get excited about a new wig or weave and go from nothing to flowing locs down to their butts. What is the difference? 🤨
@user-eh8cg4bp3y Due to our hair type, those are more flashy forms of protective hairstyles. Not only is it healthier for our hair, depending on the climate we live in, it's also a way to express ourselves; especially considering we needed the Crown Act to be passed just so we could wear our natural hair without being discriminated against in the workplace. (Well, even more so than we already are.) If we're being forced to make changes just to be professionally acceptable, it's only fair that we get to have fun with it.

The more I learn about true history the wiser I’m becoming. I didn’t know the origin of the word dreadlocks. The shame of even needing a law to protect someone’s natural hair styles.

It’s wild they say it’s just hair until their hair starts falling out. All i have to say is let them create traction alopecia for themselves and learn the hard way that our cultural hairstyles are not made for their hair to withstand.
Even we can't wear some of these styles for long periods! I think the problem is the younger generation has shown them that with the proper care, Black women can grow LONG hair too! And if we can't we can BUY IT! 😆

I had a white friend who had dreads,when I met her, her hair was matted and the ends were dead. The longer it got, the ends were literally dead. She eventually had to cut, because they growing together look like, a big turd.
The lady is misinformed about the origin of the term dreadlocks. It did not derive from the transatlantic slave trade in the way she described. The term originated in Jamaica by black people for completely different reasons than stated. The early rastafari in the 30s and 40s did not grow their hair long although many wore beards. In the 50s there was a reform movement within the body of rastafari that espoused more militant teachings. These zealots were known as "dread" which in the jamaican context means strict, because their militant stance. These various rasta camps are where the teachings of spiritul asceticism led to the widespread acceptance of the biblical nazarite vow, prohibiting the cutting of one's hair. This new generation of rasta youth who rejected the more traditional aspects of the old guard grew their locks uncombed and accepted the inevitable rejection by broader society as the price to pay for spiritual reward. They referenced "dread" in the Jamaican context of being strict and no nonsense. As far as the term dreadlocks in the rastafari culture it carries a different meaning and history.
I had to school my bonus son on the dreadlocks name. He was baffled, I said looked it up and tell me what you find and then tell me why you should not call your very own hair that. I always think I know so little about my culture but it amazes me how little people know than I do. I just wish we could spread the word because there are so many people who just don’t know

YOU NEED TO EDUCATE YOURSELF ABOUT BLACK PEOPLE'S HAIR I DON'T THINK YOU'RE BLACK SAYING SUCH A THING. OUR HAIR WAS IN LOCKS BEFORE THEY CAME OUT OF THE CAVES OF EUROPE. OUR HAIR IS ORIGINAL HAIR ON THE PLANET IN ANCENT EYGPT ( KEMET). WHITE PEOPLE CHANGED THE NAME LOCKS NOT ARE NAME WHEN WE WERE THEM THAT WAY. CUZ THEY CALLED OUR HAIR DREADFUL. SHE AND ANYONE WHITE WHO DOES THIS IS MOCKING AND MIMICKING THE VERY SAME PEOPLE THEY ENSLAVED AND STILL OPPRESSING TILL THIS DAY. IT IS AN INSULT TO BLACK PEOPLE. WHEN WE HAVE TO GET LAWS TO WERE OUR NATURAL HAIR THEY WANT YOU TO PUT THEIR CHEMICALS TO STRAIGHTEN OUR HAIR TO MAKE OUR BODIES SICK. MISS-EDUCATE YOURSELF BEFORE YOU MAKE SUCH NUTTY COMMENTS.

Hey, she’s not too good for traction alopecia 🤷🏾♀️. Plenty of bw have traction alopecia from braids and even wigs. Let em have at it since they think its sweet. They don’t have to do this! Everywhere we go we gotta make “them” feel comfortable with us, that’s the difference.
That piece about the origin of the word dread as in dread locks is soo ill-informed. The term actually originated in Jamaica not on some slaveship by Europeans.The description dread originated among Jamaicans who used it as a synonym for the strong quality of the hair but even more importantly the dreaded (feared) strength of the revolutionary Rastafarians who were asserting the strength of their Africanness and blackness This was their strong response to European colonialism, the government and other individuals who continued to support that status quo. It might be instructive to give a listen to Bob Marley's song "Natty Dread*
The woman has the right to do with her hair what she wants. What black people need to do is to call out those black women who bleach their hair blonde or wear those ridiculous, ill-fitting hair pieces and wigs
I totally agree too many of us are styling weaves, and long european blonde hair wigs to complain about some white women styling their own locks! Their hair their locks. We certainly don't want to give the same discriminations they have giving us for the past 400 hundred plus years. There are BETTER ways to prove a point rather than them styling hair locks. How about get off our lands? Go back to the CAUCASUS MOUNTAINS where all european white people belong. Yes the caucasion people. We want our LANDS BACK 😮 Oh yea!
Why did it take me this long for a comment like this to be posted. Black women upset with this white woman getting locs is ridiculous but have no issue wearing colored wigs and weaves from horses and Indians. I don't like seeing non black people wearing locs but until black women stop wearing the hairstyles of their former slave masters/colonial masters then have a seat.
As a straight black man who has had locks and twists and has Nigerian tough hair im sorry but americans and westerners are annoying with the discrimination and pushback on our hair and it affect black women most since everybody else has the more accepted hair pushing them to straighten and cover up their own hair to The point they go bald from chemicals when they get older and its fucked up bc those same women tell gou your own hair looks bad and you need to cut and comb it and tbh that shit hurts and makes you feel like shit and like your own mother and sister dont even like how you look
Lol.., just saying.., I see more black women wearing blonde wigs and weave than white women rocking locs..., I get it though , my wife has locs..., but I think this video should be about my sistas letting the other sistas know to love themselves First, and stop with the European style and texture....., and no need to reference the two black tribes in the diaspora with natural blonde hair ...,that doesn't validate it...,i think it's kinda crazy to tell people not to use your hair style while you overwhelmingly use theirs...., and if you're honest, you'd take this into consideration......, I'm a black man, with a black wife and black children and I say these things with love....
Black people also have natural blonde hair. And why can’t we wear blonde wigs when they color their hair blonde all the time. Most of them aren’t natural blondes but more strawberry blonde or light brown
@ADR-xn6dg we're the most numerous people on the planet, and very few black people except for a few confined areas across the diaspora have blonde hair, and those of us that do naturally still have an afro texture of 4a, 4b, and 4c hair..., but there is an overwhelming amount of black women wearing styles and wigs that are synonymous with European white women hair color and texture, I'm certain that you know this is true..., and you can do what you want with hair, but when videos like this knock white women for wearing your hair styles that makes it hypocritical for black women to complain , and it would be better if the video was about encouraging our sisters to embrace their natural beautiful hair that no other women on the planet can compete with.
Please share the law that was passed to allow blonde hair in the workplace 😊 And while you're at it, please share a time in history a whyt woman was fired for having blonde hair. And then, if you can spare the time, please do tell us if whyt women wear braids & locs to interviews & office jobs or only when they wanna have fun or gain followers on social media?
@reesebloom8093 please tell me you understand that black men are also affected by these laws and atrocities, there's plenty evidence out there of black boys and men having to cut their locs for school or work..., so these woes affect us all...., but the difference is that you don't see black men wearing a white man's blonde wig to mimic the white man's hair texture and style.
@reesebloom8093 please tell me that you understand that these laws and atrocities affect black men and boys as well, there are many examples of black men and boys having to cut their locs for work or school, so these woes you speak of affects both genders.., but the difference is that you don't see black men and boys wearing a blonde wig and hair texture overwhelmingly that mimics a wyt mans, while simultaneously complaining that they're wearing ours .
I didn't know that history about dreads. Considering how much my school would shove black history down my throat, you'd think I should know. Yes I am black and went to a predminently black school. I know very much that I'm gonna get hate for this. I would say other races shouldn't do braids or dreads(don't attack me yet) mainly because it's not good for their hair. Otherwise I mind my business. I'm very much understand the past but don't let it make my future. Which falls into my next statement, I've called dreads, dreads all my life. Every black person I know or met has called them dreads. Just because it has a bad past, doesn't mean I need to stop saying it. I mean we still say the N-word and that was also from slave traders and owners. What about Valentine? It originated from a massacre but we all still celebrate it. This ain't defending the girl, this is just how I see this situation. Let them be dumb and fuck their hair up. Teach them the history and they'll learn eventually.
Good morning It doesn’t make a difference whether you black or white Webre razor braids this is stupid I mean everything’s about black or white they have braids
Stick-ah-pin people..I'm from the Caribbean, been had dreadlocks 4 times in my life and would like to clarify something..the way many people wear ''locks" in the modern day,y'all wear what we call ''salon" dreads. What the Rastafarians from the Caribbean wear as the main part of our cultural expression is called dreadlocks,because we don't grow it pretty and neat,we grow it natural..suh nuh tell we it nuh name dreadlocks..
If we don't want people policing our hair we shouldn't police other peoples hair. Yes she should do the locs the white people way they do their locs and if it's bad for her she can learn. It's her hair journey just how we have our hair journeys....blk people leave her alone.
Let her wear whatever hair she want. Plenty of black women wear non black women's hair all the time. Who are yall to tell her what she can do with her hair?
Crown Act → look it up... UNTIL Black people can wear naturally cultural hair then NO ONE ELSE should be able to do so.... "Plenty of black women wear non black women's hair" → gee, it's like American history isn't a subject... couldn't get hired without BS assimilation that's why... getting hired today is still hard in states WITHOUT the Crown Act.... "Who are yall to tell her what she can do with her hair?" → the same way 🤚🏻 people been telling black people for centuries 🙄 "oh no 😱" NOW it's a problem.... Go outside & touch grass...
While we waiting for the answer that never comes....😂 Black women been through B.S with they hair and the law. No other women go through what our women have had to...they protectin the shit they produce.
The difference is that the european beauty standard for hair has always made it easy for whites to roam around without a care in the world without being demonized and made fun of for wearing their natural hair and hairstyles made for their natural hair. All while trying to don blk cultural hairstyles that are worn by blk people to help protect their hair in it’s natural state. And at the same time we are still getting penalized for wearing our hair in styles that accommodates our natural hair texture as the way it grows out of our heads. Blk people shouldn’t get demonized for wearing their natural hair, especially in 2024. And whites need to start respecting other cultures and stop gaslighting the demographic of those cultures just to culturally appropriate any culture that is not apart of their demographic. Blk people are tired of the disrespect, downplaying and dismissive attitudes towards nonblk people appropriating blk culture and in the same breath want to raise all kinds of heII anytime a nonblk demographic’s culture gets appropriated. Blk people are allowed to and have every right to gatekeep their culture whether you like it or not. Especially when everyone else has their own cultures they gatekeep all the time.
Funny,you are wearing straight hair. If locs and braids are not for us, straight hair is not for you. If you don´t want to be policed about your hairstyle, stop doing it to other people. Europeans have braids too, but i guess a different technique, not so tight. But braids are very common. And why do you even care? Are our heads so important to you?
@@Puzzles32 Yes, subsahara africa genes, 150 thousand years ago. We are ALL from that same gene pool. I know that. That´s what i said. ALL people came from the same population. Like it or not.
How can a hairstyle that was forced on slaves (only during the middle passage) become a legit black hairstyle? That wasn't the culture, so how is someone else donning the hairstyle offensive & cultural appropriation? I find it odd a history lesson was provided without an ounce of irony.
Locs have been a style of Black Africans long before the Middle Passage. You have actual sarcophaguses with the style that dates well over 3000BC on the African continent. I'm pretty sure there were slaves with braids and locs when captured and sent along the Middle Passage.

YOU NEED TO EDUCATE YOURSELF ABOUT BLACK PEOPLE'S HAIR I DON'T THINK YOU'RE BLACK SAYING SUCH A THING. OUR HAIR WAS IN LOCKS BEFORE THEY CAME OUT OF THE CAVES OF EUROPE. OUR HAIR IS ORIGINAL HAIR ON THE PLANET IN ANCENT EYGPT ( KEMET). WHITE PEOPLE CHANGED THE NAME LOCKS NOT ARE NAME WHEN WE WERE THEM THAT WAY. CUZ THEY CALLED OUR HAIR DREADFUL. SHE AND ANYONE WHITE WHO DOES THIS IS MOCKING AND MIMICKING THE VERY SAME PEOPLE THEY ENSLAVED AND STILL OPPRESSING TILL THIS DAY. IT IS AN INSULT TO BLACK PEOPLE. WHEN WE HAVE TO GET LAWS TO WERE OUR NATURAL HAIR THEY WANT YOU TO PUT THEIR CHEMICALS TO STRAIGHTEN OUR HAIR TO MAKE OUR BODIES SICK. MISS-EDUCATE YOURSELF BEFORE YOU MAKE SUCH NUTTY COMMENTS.
@@deamorebeaute2412 no u get it together.... I said What I said dig deeper... Maybe u should look up who blk Americans really are and where they fled from in 70 AD and where some of had to flee to during Roman persecution....and why some of us were captured in west Africa... 🤨 I know MY families history...
The first 1000 years count 😂
MY GODS EDUCATE YOURSELF.
Hey, she’s not too good for traction alopecia 🤷🏾♀️. Plenty of bw have traction alopecia from braids and even wigs. Let em have at it since they think its sweet. They don’t have to do this! Everywhere we go we gotta make “them” feel comfortable with us, that’s the difference.
Dam fool
Why do we draw so much attention😂
Those weren’t braids ! I hate when people call them braids when you in fact have locs!! Ahhh !
Not just black women black men too I was just told I couldn't wear my afro out at work 😂 I work for gm but other people can if you know what I mean

I love my locs! What ol girl in the video has are dreads lol
What a shame🤭😂
🛑✝️🙏🏽HER HAIR LOOKS NICE. SHE LIKES THE STYLE.
That piece about the origin of the word dread as in dread locks is soo ill-informed. The term actually originated in Jamaica not on some slaveship by Europeans.The description dread originated among Jamaicans who used it as a synonym for the strong quality of the hair but even more importantly the dreaded (feared) strength of the revolutionary Rastafarians who were asserting the strength of their Africanness and blackness This was their strong response to European colonialism, the government and other individuals who continued to support that status quo. It might be instructive to give a listen to Bob Marley's song "Natty Dread*

The woman has the right to do with her hair what she wants. What black people need to do is to call out those black women who bleach their hair blonde or wear those ridiculous, ill-fitting hair pieces and wigs
I totally agree too many of us are styling weaves, and long european blonde hair wigs to complain about some white women styling their own locks!
Their hair their locks.
We certainly don't want to give the same discriminations they have giving us for the past 400 hundred plus years.
There are BETTER ways to prove a point rather than them styling hair locks.
How about get off our lands? Go back to the CAUCASUS MOUNTAINS where all european white people belong.
Yes the caucasion people.
We want our LANDS BACK 😮
Oh yea!
Why did it take me this long for a comment like this to be posted. Black women upset with this white woman getting locs is ridiculous but have no issue wearing colored wigs and weaves from horses and Indians. I don't like seeing non black people wearing locs but until black women stop wearing the hairstyles of their former slave masters/colonial masters then have a seat.
IT IS NO BIG DEAL....
You are so ignorant the fact that you think that blonde hair is a white only thing is dumb educate yourself.
Exactly! It’s not cultural appropriation. The culture is American.
😌☺️🤗🤗💜💚🥰🥰
Dane Calloway please! This woman is totally wrong
We have hair they have fur with lice.
As a straight black man who has had locks and twists and has Nigerian tough hair im sorry but americans and westerners are annoying with the discrimination and pushback on our hair and it affect black women most since everybody else has the more accepted hair pushing them to straighten and cover up their own hair to
The point they go bald from chemicals when they get older and its fucked up bc those same women tell gou your own hair looks bad and you need to cut and comb it and tbh that shit hurts and makes you feel like shit and like your own mother and sister dont even like how you look
Lol.., just saying.., I see more black women wearing blonde wigs and weave than white women rocking locs..., I get it though , my wife has locs..., but I think this video should be about my sistas letting the other sistas know to love themselves First, and stop with the European style and texture....., and no need to reference the two black tribes in the diaspora with natural blonde hair ...,that doesn't validate it...,i think it's kinda crazy to tell people not to use your hair style while you overwhelmingly use theirs...., and if you're honest, you'd take this into consideration......, I'm a black man, with a black wife and black children and I say these things with love....
Black people also have natural blonde hair. And why can’t we wear blonde wigs when they color their hair blonde all the time. Most of them aren’t natural blondes but more strawberry blonde or light brown
@ADR-xn6dg we're the most numerous people on the planet, and very few black people except for a few confined areas across the diaspora have blonde hair, and those of us that do naturally still have an afro texture of 4a, 4b, and 4c hair..., but there is an overwhelming amount of black women wearing styles and wigs that are synonymous with European white women hair color and texture, I'm certain that you know this is true..., and you can do what you want with hair, but when videos like this knock white women for wearing your hair styles that makes it hypocritical for black women to complain , and it would be better if the video was about encouraging our sisters to embrace their natural beautiful hair that no other women on the planet can compete with.
Please share the law that was passed to allow blonde hair in the workplace 😊 And while you're at it, please share a time in history a whyt woman was fired for having blonde hair. And then, if you can spare the time, please do tell us if whyt women wear braids & locs to interviews & office jobs or only when they wanna have fun or gain followers on social media?
@reesebloom8093 please tell me you understand that black men are also affected by these laws and atrocities, there's plenty evidence out there of black boys and men having to cut their locs for school or work..., so these woes affect us all...., but the difference is that you don't see black men wearing a white man's blonde wig to mimic the white man's hair texture and style.
@reesebloom8093 please tell me that you understand that these laws and atrocities affect black men and boys as well, there are many examples of black men and boys having to cut their locs for work or school, so these woes you speak of affects both genders.., but the difference is that you don't see black men and boys wearing a blonde wig and hair texture overwhelmingly that mimics a wyt mans, while simultaneously complaining that they're wearing ours .
I didn't know that history about dreads. Considering how much my school would shove black history down my throat, you'd think I should know. Yes I am black and went to a predminently black school.
I know very much that I'm gonna get hate for this.
I would say other races shouldn't do braids or dreads(don't attack me yet) mainly because it's not good for their hair. Otherwise I mind my business. I'm very much understand the past but don't let it make my future.
Which falls into my next statement, I've called dreads, dreads all my life. Every black person I know or met has called them dreads. Just because it has a bad past, doesn't mean I need to stop saying it. I mean we still say the N-word and that was also from slave traders and owners. What about Valentine? It originated from a massacre but we all still celebrate it.
This ain't defending the girl, this is just how I see this situation. Let them be dumb and fuck their hair up. Teach them the history and they'll learn eventually.
Good morning It doesn’t make a difference whether you black or white Webre razor braids this is stupid I mean everything’s about black or white they have braids
Stick-ah-pin people..I'm from the Caribbean, been had dreadlocks 4 times in my life and would like to clarify something..the way many people wear ''locks" in the modern day,y'all wear what we call ''salon" dreads. What the Rastafarians from the Caribbean wear as the main part of our cultural expression is called dreadlocks,because we don't grow it pretty and neat,we grow it natural..suh nuh tell we it nuh name dreadlocks..
If we don't want people policing our hair we shouldn't police other peoples hair. Yes she should do the locs the white people way they do their locs and if it's bad for her she can learn. It's her hair journey just how we have our hair journeys....blk people leave her alone.
Let her wear whatever hair she want. Plenty of black women wear non black women's hair all the time. Who are yall to tell her what she can do with her hair?
Crown Act → look it up... UNTIL Black people can wear naturally cultural hair then NO ONE ELSE should be able to do so....
"Plenty of black women wear non black women's hair" → gee, it's like American history isn't a subject... couldn't get hired without BS assimilation that's why... getting hired today is still hard in states WITHOUT the Crown Act....
"Who are yall to tell her what she can do with her hair?" → the same way 🤚🏻 people been telling black people for centuries 🙄 "oh no 😱" NOW it's a problem....
Go outside & touch grass...
And what styles would that be exactly?
While we waiting for the answer that never comes....😂
Black women been through B.S with they hair and the law. No other women go through what our women have had to...they protectin the shit they produce.
The difference is that the european beauty standard for hair has always made it easy for whites to roam around without a care in the world without being demonized and made fun of for wearing their natural hair and hairstyles made for their natural hair. All while trying to don blk cultural hairstyles that are worn by blk people to help protect their hair in it’s natural state. And at the same time we are still getting penalized for wearing our hair in styles that accommodates our natural hair texture as the way it grows out of our heads. Blk people shouldn’t get demonized for wearing their natural hair, especially in 2024. And whites need to start respecting other cultures and stop gaslighting the demographic of those cultures just to culturally appropriate any culture that is not apart of their demographic. Blk people are tired of the disrespect, downplaying and dismissive attitudes towards nonblk people appropriating blk culture and in the same breath want to raise all kinds of heII anytime a nonblk demographic’s culture gets appropriated. Blk people are allowed to and have every right to gatekeep their culture whether you like it or not. Especially when everyone else has their own cultures they gatekeep all the time.
Buying straight hair and attaching it to you head
Funny,you are wearing straight hair. If locs and braids are not for us, straight hair is not for you. If you don´t want to be policed about your hairstyle, stop doing it to other people. Europeans have braids too, but i guess a different technique, not so tight. But braids are very common. And why do you even care? Are our heads so important to you?
Your sh!t looks nasty bro.. js🤷🏾♀️
Look up Eve gene …👨🏽⚖️
@@Puzzles32 Yes, subsahara africa genes, 150 thousand years ago. We are ALL from that same gene pool. I know that. That´s what i said. ALL people came from the same population. Like it or not.
@@PonydriverDo you support the crown act?
😂
How can a hairstyle that was forced on slaves (only during the middle passage) become a legit black hairstyle? That wasn't the culture, so how is someone else donning the hairstyle offensive & cultural appropriation? I find it odd a history lesson was provided without an ounce of irony.
Locs have been a style of Black Africans long before the Middle Passage. You have actual sarcophaguses with the style that dates well over 3000BC on the African continent. I'm pretty sure there were slaves with braids and locs when captured and sent along the Middle Passage.
@MonicaLAllen she's willfully ignorant
either ur not black or there is something actually wrong with you
You're not that bright.
You completely ignored the part of her talking about the style existing in Africa BEFORE the middle passage.
There are people in Africa who still loc their hair....😂
This is the problem we dont stick togather . I cant stand people who say let her wear qhat she want . But when we do it . Its a problem shut the
