I swear dreads being labeled as hood is only things you hear from southern dudes. Up north braids is more coined with hoodlum than dreads.

More Jamaicans, longer history of West Indian migration. Dreads are mostly connected to spirituality up there, and basically everywhere else in the 90s. Even Dr.Dre had a notorious line from Let Me Ride:

Just another motherfukkin' day for Dre, so I'll begin like this
No medallions, dreadlocks or black fists
It's just that gangsta glare with gangsta raps
That gangsta shyt makes a gangs of snaps,

So basically, dreads were associated with Hoteps and pro black spirituality basically everywhere in the US up until the 00s. I mean, you had limited examples of “dreaded Jamaican hoodlums” in movies like Steven Segals Marked For Death.

But overall, dreads were associated with being artsy, hotep or spiritual moreso than being a thug. Like you said, braids were more associated with being a thug moreso than dreads. Even in House Party 3, Bernie Mac was talking to Marques Houston’s character when he had dreads and Bernie was like:

You need to cut that Jamaican Voodoo off ya head!

that is not a man in those photos

thats a dumb ass kid

too young and goofy to realize he looks like a negative stereotype

to be fair we all look like negative stereotypes as black men

someone will always project something negative onto you for only being black

Pretty sure a lot of these cats sow this shyt into their heads so if you can grow a small afro you could get wicks like them.

Cracker statements. c00n statements. Any black person attributing or “pretty sure”ing about the length of a black mans hair being weave is an opposition as the youth would suggest.

Dudes in the first post need to eat something and hit the gym. They would be food against a normal human without their weapons.

the st0rmfr0nt energy is wafting through this thread

Believe it or not, 95% of you clowns looked just as a goofy when you was their age, but just in a different way.

Dreads/wicks are fine.

Any hairstyle looks fine as long as you groom it properly or at least get a hairline and keep your hair healthy.
