A while back I wrote a post about how I hate that some people are ...a little uneducated and need to connect dreadlocks (and the fact that I have them) with Rastafarian.
And more so, to connect Rastafarian with pot smoking and Bob Marley.
I got some interesting comments and pf course it is these I will now take up - race of course is a common theme here at The Elk, because I fucking hate people that need to bring up rules and differences based on skin colour.
Apparently, I am not allowed to have them because I am a spoilt little white kid rebelling against my parents and not a black rasta.
So, lets delve into this a little bit:
Rasta, started in the 30s.
Celts - believed that dreadlocks gave them strength in battle and believed in a fairy that came and put the "knots" in their hair. Celts....from around 1200 BC. So who came first?
Now, that's given that a stab in the ass - and who the fuck says "this hair is for whites, this hair is for blacks" that's just blind racism - I do not have "rasta" dreadlocks, I have "celtic" dreadlocks. With that mentality black people should not wears clothes and shoes and t-shirts designed and made by white people, none of them should be any other religion and so on and so on - stupid, stupid, stupid racism.
So lets just STFU shall we =)
