[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes but tying it to race was unnecessary. I think Giuliana meant it in a "dreads, like hippies and weed ha ha" type of way. She didn't mean it in a "you're black so.... Weed." Way.

As a black person I'm so over the race card being played at the wrong time. [/quote]

I disagree.  [b]Dreadlocks are most commonly associated with Rastafarian culture and black people[/b].  Sure, some white folks have dreads, I even work with one, but its just not that common.  Dreds (or locs as Zendaya calls them) are also not nearly as closely related to hippies as they are to black Rastafarians and Bob Marley fans.  Now, if she had said "makes me think of the Grateful Dead, patchouli and ankle bracelets" it would have been okay but, she didn't.

I will concede that Guliana may not have meant it as racists but she should have thought about it a LOT more before she said it.  Just dumb to say something like that.  To me it makes it clear that Guliana should not be talking on live tv, she isn't thoughtful or intelligent enough.[/quote]

There is a STRONG weed culture for Rastafarians. [/quote]

There's a STRONG alcohol culture for Irish, but you would never hear someone say of a celebrity with straight red hair "I think she smells of booze."[/quote]
