No need for any of these theories, the dad already explained he made that decision entirely because of conformity.
Dad cuts childs hair without mother’s permission. Is he in the right

I think this is a very small take and limiting to black aesthetics. The respectability politics “you only a good lil negro if your erase every visible sign of your unkempt unruly hair” needs to be dead. Ironically, some of the most strait laced geeky dudes I knew growing up had locs.They look like their parents are hood and/or they are DEFINITELY raised by single mothers
I mean a kid somewhat, but ..fukk it it is what it is. Cats wanna be politically correct but, shyt, whatever. I have 2 nephews and them dudes was wild af when their hair was long. Calmed down after. I went to college in the melo/AI/B2K era and after graduation nggas leveled up and cut they hair. Its anecdotal, it’s some shyt ready made for nggas tobut if you being real you know what time it is.
We keep punishing blacks for daring to be anything outside of a fade haircut or a silk press, but then get mad when whites do it to us too.
The first lil black boy’s parents are suing a school for kicking him out for wearing locs. We get how wrong that is. Now how much of a mindfukk is it when the parents themselves perpetuate that same energy.
Here’s the real deal. Your hair in America won’t stop you from getting fukked over for your race no matter how you wear it. I’d rather blacks stop obsessing over it and love it in all its forms, instead of worrying about conforming to a system that will push our shyt in no matter what.
Don’t get me wrong, I got family members who feel like u do but I think they wrong too

Putting this on social media for clout is sickening.
Kid will be ok in the long run.
Mom and Dad need to do better as parents, period.

How is he turning him into a man with a f’d up haircut? The father couldn’t take the time to properly learn how to cut his hair, nor spend the money to get it properly done by a professionalI still check up on my dad.
I am siding with the dad here. The mom is out of pocket. He is trying to turn his son into a man and she interfering with that.

getting blitzed.
Pops should’ve taken him to a barbershop.
That’s the only issue I have.

As if there is one hair style dominating street culture, shut your dumb ass up with your false equivalence bullshyt.

since when did twists and dreads interfere with becoming a man/manhoodI still check up on my dad.

idk he kinda looks sad to me
Look how far back his line got pushed back. His father was on some bullsh*t, simple as that. How you going to lay the law down about your son’s hair when you can’t even get it done right?

What does a kid with braids look like then?People keep talking about conforming…hair and facial hair style have certain connotations and energy that isn’t racial.
Why don’t you wear just a mustache with no chin hair? Bc you’d look like a pedo
Why don’t adult men get straight back cornrows? Bc you’d look like Sam Jackson in Formula 51
Why isa thing. Bc he’s too old for a fukking high top fade
I could go on. So for some a short hairstyle represents structure for the kid in THEIR home, nothing to do with ’conforming ’
The point the post I quoted made is that there is no perceived image kids need to conform to, thus there is no structure to be built for a kid by forcing him to get this or that hairstyle. The only thing displayed is control over silly shyt.
Man let a kid be a kid (within reason)
Gave him that wack ass hair cut like it was any better.

After some thought, they both just in the wrong.
If the dad DID request that they not put that in his head then they should’ve discussed it and came to an understanding
His reasoning is kinda stupid to me, but it’s his child and until kid is older or can pay for his own cuts then he can’t make that decision
For the mother, it should’ve been discussed. Yeah, she didn’t have to listen to the father but this is the result. If she can make decisions on her childs appearance than so can he.
The person suffering is the child.
What I will disagree with the father is sending his fukking son out there looking like that. At least get him a FRESH cut if you’re going to cut it at all. Why would you want your son presented out like that… was it a punishment to your son? Or was it a punishment to the mother, because regardless the kid got to go through that embarrassment not them.

No surprise that you sound like a spotty 12 year old, that weak shyt supposed to cut deep or something? Clown
