Dreads as a Symbol of Black Culture
When non black people in the modern west wear dreadlocks, they are appropriating an aspect of black culture. This is a microaggression. Dreads and other natural hairstyles are undeniably deeply connected to black culture, and are therefore seen as a negative trait because of institutional racism. Black people lose jobs over this. They lose credibility in some cases. Non black people do not face the same consequences for having dreadlocks, and do not have the same cultural context to dreads. It is appropriation and harms the black community.
Black people straightening their hair is assimilation. Because of the aforementioned institutional racism and eurocentric western ideals, natural hair is not widely accepted. Therefore, black people often straighten their hair to assimilate (fit into, be accepted as part of, etc) into western culture. Straight hair is not deeply connected to nonblack culture, and does not have the same cultural context as dreads. It is not symbolic in any way to non black people, and if anything has been used to distinguish us from black people and further categorize society. Therefore it is not a microaggression or appropriation. It is assimilation and is not damaging to non black communities. Negative repercussions or discrimination for naturally straight hair is nearly unheard of.

dreadlocks are an Ancient Greek hairstyle, niggers don't have culture of their own
They learned about dreadlocks when the Vikings came down through Eurasia to the coast of Africa.
Or how about stinky niggers take a shower for once?

When White people breathe, they are taking precious oxygen from Black Kings and Queens. This is atmospheric appropriation. Why should they freely take what the Black man needs?
This is outright war against Black "bodies" and must be stopped by any means.
If you agree, hold your head under water for 30 minutes.

Holy fucking goals
here's a (you)
you earned it
Why do niggers appropriate my white culture's clothing, language, food, houses etc.
Shouldn't they be wearing loin cloths, speaking some African language, eating African food, and living in mud huts?
Not washing your hair and letting it clump together is a nigger thing, niggers say.
niggers still rocking shit they stole from us before shampoo was invented!
When we see niggers appropriating white culture, should we confront them about it? What should we do?
Blacks in Jamaica learned about matted hair (which they called 'dreadlocks') from Hindus. They also appropriated the word 'ganja' for cannabis from them as well.
The more you know.
