hey brothers I got a question

I was growing my hair out for a while with the intention of getting dreadlocks. I ended up having to cut it coz of a job interview.

Back when I had the hair though, I was out one night with some coworkers and excoworkers, myself and a couple of other were drunk and high as shit so I don't remember everything that night.

What I do remember, was me telling an ex coworker who was white, that I'm growing my hair out for dreads. Her reaction was something like "eh, I don't think that's such a good idea. I mean, you can't even really wash dreads."

I made eye contact with my Guyanese-black coworker friend and then looked back at her, and said "...I think that's an urban myth, actually."

She responds again by saying "No I really don't think you can wash dreads."

Then my Guyanese coworker friend finally stepped in and said "YES you can!" And then proceeded to tell her off. I don't remember the rest because I was too fucked up.

This incident also reminded me of this

It is completely ignorant though, right? To think that dreads cannot be washed? That wasn't the first time someone told me that you really can't wash them and both times they were white

.

You have to wash dreads and anyone who says otherwise is lost, lol.

 

[FeenixRising]

If you have the hair dreads were made for (black hair or variants of it) then yea... dreads are easily washable.

Straight hair (white/Asian... etc) can't hold dreads through natural means and you either have to cut it or let it get moldy as hell

What 2 or more consenting adults do is up to them. But It would be interesting to talk to women that fethize black men. I watched a few videos on youtube where this one woman does it, but attempts to get turn other women to the dark side. the pathology is fascinating.

I live in a city in the UK that is mainly white area and has a huge uni area, so 1000's of 18+ girls about. So I get it a damn lot.

What's your plan of escape if it turns out the boyfriend is in on it?

Had that shit before .

i don't have hair that dreads were made for and I feel like that's when dreads look best/coolest.

People who aren't black and have straight hair have trouble keeping their dreads clumped. That's where the misconception comes from. Nasty ass white hippie dreads.
Black people with dreads wash them shits regularly and thoroughly. They're incredibly resilient to all kinds of washing.

Wash and respectfully oil and moisturize that hair. Straight/Fine hair from 1a to 2c-ish really ain't gonna hold locs well.

Unfortunately if I did it my hair would probably look closer to that than what I want.

No damn candy nicknames.

I mean, I've known people with straight hair that took the time to dread them and keep them clean. But it's more work than most are willing to put in.

I will never allow another girl to call me daddy again...

Went along with it because try everything(well not EVERYTHING) once, but yeah no

In relation to skin complexion* I mean.

Cyborg is just half a black face. He aint really a cyborg anymore.

Today's that day? I completely forgot that they were taking another shot at making people care.

Edit: Not quite there yet I see. I guess there's a WW and a Flash promo for the promo still to come?

Edit 2: I see the Flash one now...

 

[Slayven]

Aquaman looks the only decent character.

You gonna dress up?

Aquaman looks the onky decent character.

Yeah, Jason comes with a built in look that gets them out of a jam with characterization. Imagine if they didn't have him and tried to adapt the comic book version visually.

 

[Slayven]

This is watered down american toku, not real sentai

 

[Secret Fawful]

I saw the first Transformers in the theater. I'm not making that mistake again with Power Rangers. I don't need to go see these childhood properties and watch characters talk about "happy time".

 

[Malyse]

Code won't redeem.
Okay, universe. I get it.

Amy Schumer as live action Barbie is stunt casting, right?

But first gay superhero.

Walmart understands that dilemma and will hook a brother up on the cheap.

Come on folks, JL could be good. Keep the faith.

I'll wait for power rangers to come on vudu

That's a long gap.

They're saving you from anime.

Jean-Paul Beaubier would like a word.

You catch all your movies at Blockbuster

That's a long gap.

I really don't care for the theater experience.

Chipotle sold me a cold chicken bowl....

I have to wonder how they can do something like that with all the question marks they're still holding..

Nigga you still rolling the dice?

 

[LionPride]

I still go to Chipotle. Have not taken an L yet

 

[Sch1sm]

That's why you ask for the uncommon dishes at Chipotle, not whatever they already have in containers there, c'mon.

Your first mistake was going to chipotle.

 

[D i Z]

I'm an habitual line stepper. I used a closed sidewalk during construction TWICE today.



Time mag dissing Drumph in a manner I can appreciate.

That's why you ask for the uncommon dishes at Chipotle, not whatever they already have in containers there, c'mon.

I usually hold up the line and have them make me a quesadilla and confuse the heck out of them with pricing, but I'm on emergency code monkey time today and wasn't thinking.

I catch all my movies at your moms

he could have gotten cheaper mudbutt at Taco Bell.

Funny because your mom stars in all of mine

Yeah fuck going to cinema to see Power Rangers. The cinema near me does the shit were all the new films are only in iMax so it costs £20 or $25 a ticket.

 

[Gordon Shumway]

Netflix and slay?

Funny because your mom stars in all of mine

🙄

 

[Slayven]

Joke, but I do more for Asian representation than Netflix

 

[Kreed]

Is this her?

Just left the theater (second viewing).

Lol. Not all anime is bad, except that freaky shit. Oh hell no.

----------------

Okay, question. If you had a one way trip to any fictional universe in existence, where would you go? This question is easy for me, Pokemon. I mean come on, it's fucking Pokemon?! What more could you want?!

 

[Sch1sm]

Lol. Not all anime is bad, except that freaky shit. Oh hell no.

I was joking. I watch some, mostly read manga. A lot of it fits that, though. "Freaky shit."

 

[Frozenprince]

Jean-Paul Beaubier would like a word.

What I wouldn't give for him to be in a movie.

 

[Secret Fawful]

What movie was he in?

If Yellow Ranger is handled properly and not as a stereotype then I'll give the movie props for that.

What I wouldn't give for him to be in a movie.

I wonder if Fox could make it work.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

Don't disrespek your stepdad like that

Fifty says they mention it off handedly once then it's never brought up again.

I'm currently reading One Piece and My hero Academia. Both are amazing right now. I might get into Berserk soon. Heard waaaaaay too many good things about it.

 

[Sch1sm]

Wasn't aware you were allowed to marry humans.

One Piece is super long, though. Holy. Beserk is good stuff.
