I’m glad she explained this thoroughly for me!!! This is why out locs are feared because a dreadlock sister or brother are establishing fear in these systemically racist structures! Goodnight 😴💤😘🌙 Thanks SisterQueen!! Posted @withrepost • @empressak #AKFACTS. I cringe when folks say: “LOCS NOT DREADS”— or folks put a picture of a white girl with matted hair under the term “dreads”. Then they say that “white folks coined dreadlocks because they thought our hair was dreadful”. Sounds great, but facts are facts and it has no place for opinions/feelings. If you want to continue calling it locks and still despise the term “dread” (b/c it’s already engrained in your mind & you look at things through European lens)—that’s fine, but let’s not spread misinformation on the internet or give “them” credit for a philosophy they didn’t CREATE The correct terms are #locs OR #dreadlocks. It’s a #Lifestyle x #Mentality x Act of defiance against the system : physically or INTELLECTUALLY — #reclaimingOurNarratives #freeformlocs #maumaurebellion #Kenya #RastaFari #RootsReggae #Boboshanti #Nyabinghi #BuffaloSolider.
