there are plenty folks out there with the 'fros that are some of the biggest damned fools there are, just as there are some of the most likeable individuals around with 'fros as well...wearing a 'fro shouldn't be associated with being natural, down to earth, or any of those other assumptions. It's a hairstyle; bottom line. Just another one of society's widely accepted stereotypical assumptions, such as dudes with braids? They're ALWAYS a THUG according to the popular ticket; even though this obviously isn't true it's a common misconception amongst all races.
