I have to agree this is a very positive fad to follow, but my problem lies in your example. How do we change the way people think about themselves? Grated the woman had dreads and appeared to knowledgeable, but she was very ignorant and misguided by the images society puts up to be desirable. And a question to you, are you any better than her? You assumed because she look "afrocentric" that she would have something on her mind, that's an overrated stereotype. Would you have appoached a woman with a relaxer with the same respect? Would you give all woman the same respect? You too are a victim of society... Thanks again for your opinions and thoughts!! :)
