[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My understanding of the weed comment is that it's racist because for many black people, dreadlocks are the natural state of their hair when left alone. So perhaps it's offensive to say a black person with dreads is the equivalent of a stoned hippy. It probably makes them feel like white people just have no clue... I didn't. My friend had to explain it to me, because I also associated dreads with the white hippy culture. I don't think white hippies would care if you made that joke, just like blondes don't care much about dumb blonde jokes. But blacks have a different history in this country and we should def try to understand all points of view. Someone correct me if I'm getting this all wrong.[/quote]

I would say my projection (as a white person) is that white people with dreads who wear pathoouli typically love to smoke pot, and/or at least want to give the impression that they are Rastas/Hippies/Dr. bronners washing, tempeh eating, hacky sack, festival loving hippies.

Black people with dreads doesn't automatically make them potheads.  It's just a nice look that doesn't involve chemicals or weaves, but it is a cultivated look.  People don't just get a set of dreads spontaneously.  They have to twisted and maintained to make them even, and keep them pretty- they can get natty, smell like mildew, and break.

Rastafarians that identify as such: I assume are smoking a lot of pot as this is part of their religon.

Regarding Guiliana, she is a hot mess.   She probably realizes she is not a beauty queen- so focuses on having a "hot fashionable body".  I guess on the upside, she does look better than Tori Spelling.[/quote]
