I bought a rasta beanie

My dad saw me wearing it today

He said he liked it because it was "colourful"

He doesn't know what it symbolises :D

He would be shocked if he finds out

I'm getting dreadlocks as soon as my hair gets long enough

I had a Willian-style Afro (much smaller) a few weeks ago before I got it cut. It was starting to lock up then by itself. In hindsight, I shouldn't have gotten a haircut.

I've changed my mind. Dreadlocks are a badge of honour and a very religious important symbol. Disrespecting them by wearing them as a fashion fad shouldn't be on. It wouldn't be taken kindly if people started wearing Punjabi turbans or Jewish yarmulkes as a fashion statement, so why should it be different with dreads?

You're an idiot. @, can we ban him yet?

As a religious person it offends me mightily when I see ignorant fucks walking around with massive gold crucifixes hanging from their necks. I imagine for a follower of the Rastafari movement, seeing dreads everywhere would be much the same - extremely irritating.

Mind, it was Indians that invented the hairstyle. We have a connection to them that is entirely different to the Rastafarian (and by extension, western; since the west equates marijuana smoking as a religious sacrament and dreadlocks with Rastafarians when in actuality both were originally Indian concepts) conception of them. So I suppose me wearing them wouldn't be disrespectful...
