Black dude with straight hair?

You do realize there are people who are black and can have actually straight hair naturally? :/
There are a few black people with naturally straight hair. No one has natural dreadlocks, though. You have to actively style your hair in that way.

@bijouxbroussard: Exactly. Theyre not few though.

@AnukBinary: Uhm yes it does. It's no where near bad. Natural hair does not equal cultural appropriation.

@offingg: so what's the difference? One makes his straight and the other dreadlocks? both none naturally creating a hairstyle.. Yet one can be made fun of and talk down on however the other can't because it's not cultural appropriate. Is this a double standard? Or am I miss reading the whole conversation?
@AnukBinary: What about "naturally" don't you get ? There are black people, sometimes because of mixed ancestry, who have straight hair growing out of their heads, they don't have to make it straight, it just is, like anyone else's who has straight hair. No one naturally has dreadlocks. You can't compare the two.

@AnukBinary: THEY ARE BORN WITH STRAIGHT HAIR. That's the difference.
