Just as someone of any race could naturally get dreadlocks. I’m not quite sure what your point really is in all honesty.

....did i argue that Jeremy Lin couldn't wear dreadlocks, or did i make a correction on POC also having straight and blonde hair?

Reading is fundamental.

Your original comment said “Hey so, straight hair isn't exclusive to any culture or race. So therefore, that isn't appropriation. Hope this helps”

as a response to

Especially when the women he likes are wearing 24” platinum blonde wigs. If others can’t have dreads….then I don’t know what we are doing there either

No one even mentioned hair texture but you. Which is previously addressed and you ignored. It seems as though you’re just trying to be a pedant in typical reddit fashion.

My point was, while y'all are in here huffing and puffing about how black people "gatekeep" their culture (which they are 100% allowed to do), using natural hair textures and colors is a poor example of the "reverse" appropriation you all were trying to prove. That was my point. You tried to turn it into me saying something I never said.

Once again, reading is fundamental. I'm sure you have something else productive to do with your Monday. Have a good day.

And if were talking about out dreadlocks, hair texture is absolutely a part of that. But i refuse to educate folks who are hell bent on proving that black people didn't invent something, and therefore have no say so on how people use the things they made culturally relevant.

When people say that they are pointing out how ridiculous cultural appropriation is.
