Here we go again, Black Americans swear to God that dreadlocks are so acceptable in Africa. Wearing them many will say, “we’re showing our culture of the Mother land!” Who’s land? Who’s culture?
A Black American woman in Africa will appear more acceptable if she shaved her hair off then with dreadlocked hair, it’s not acceptable in most parts of Africa.
When I posted in a dreadlock group on Reddit, I was insulted, I shared one of my Medium articles, a man replies, “I know you not talking about Nigeria.” Yes, exactly I’m talking about Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, Uganda, every part of Africa. It’s still culturally and not actually legally accepted in many parts of Africa.
