Today I saw a white guy with dreadlocks. He had gotten his dreadlocks stuck in his car door in the Whole Foods parking lot. IMMD.

That’s shitty. That guy didn’t do anything wrong, he just had different fashion sense than you. These are better when someone actually gets what they deserve when they’re being a prick rather than something bad happening to someone you feel OK about laughing at because they’re not cool like you. It’s the difference between feeling like justice was served and just laughing at someone’s misfortune.
youve got white guy dreads dont you? or youre a whole foods loser?
Dude, it’s funny because it’s ironic. Take it easy.
define:irony
What is ironic is that dreadlocks are a hairstyle that originated with blacks, who have a very different texture of hair than white folks. Ethan was implying (rightly so, IMO) that this fella was trying to be something he wasn’t, and therefore should have expected some sort of comeuppance.
Also, if you’re going to have long, dangly hair like that, regardless of its cultural implications, you’re asking for something like that to happen.
Dreadlocks did not originate exclusively with
black people. While its current resurgence in
popularity is in large part due to the influence
of Jamaican Rastafari culture, the incidence
of dreadlocks can be found throughout human
history among all races and many,many cultures.
Well said!! I couldn’t have said it better myself!!
No, he’s a white guy with dreads. He totally got what he deserved. It’s not about fashion sense, it’s about being a douche.
Name, ur lame! STFU!
^ I’ll bet he’s a white guy with dreads.
Hey Name, are you a white guy with dreads?
It’s funny because white people shouldn’t have dreadlocks! Also, it’s more hilarious because it happened at Whole Foods where all the white people with dreads go! I’m sure his friends felt bad for him
why *shouldn’t* white guys have dreads? The only POSSIBLE ignorant explanation I can think of for this assumption would be rastafarian related (baring in mind having dreads is in no way synonymous with being rastafarian).
To be honest I can’t help but think this comment section is filled with ignorant racist hicks.
( FYI I don’t have dreads; if that’s in any way relevant )
Because white guys with dreads are annoying d-bags. End of story.
I actually quite like it when white guys have dreads. It’s like wearing a big sign that says “I’m a douche- don’t waste your time interacting with me.” It save me the eight seconds it would take me to figure out the guy was a douche. So there’s no reason proper that dreads are bad for white people, it’s just that no non douche white person would think it was even a little cool. And you proved yourself a hippy douche by using the buzzwords ignortant, racist and hicks as slurs. Also a douchebag flag, so thanks.
The reason that white guys shouldn’t have dreads is because with caucasian hair types it looks like ass. QED.
I think it’s a bit of a push saying that dreads are in NO WAY related to the Rastafarian belief. It may be fair to say that not everyone who wears dreads are Rastafarian, however dreads are very symbolic to Rasta FarI. The ‘culture’ of dreads does cross cultural lines and is not limited to blacks. Many Indian high priest have been known to grow locks as well. The incident is would still be funny to regardless of the individual’s race. However I must admit I do find some white folks with dreads a bit entertaining for the simple fact that the few that i’ve come across have ridiculous misconceptions regarding the ’style’ that they choose to flaunt.
Bless
Why shouldn’t white people have dreads? dreadlocks have existed in european, african, asian, and middle eastern cultures throughout history. even the most minimal amount of research on the subject will reveal that.
Shut up, it is funny. I laughed. Justice was served because a white guy with dreads IS being a prick. Haha. D-bags like you need to get a sense of humor and learn to laugh, and let others laugh, instead of being f*cking mind police and telling us what not to laugh at. Cheers prick!
Umm,
I can smell their dreads.
They are gross, as in, unhygienic.
So I wish I’d seen this, it would have MMD.
Hahahahahhahaha, wish i coulda seen it!
hahaha! this totally made my day
Brutal. I love it. My day has been eMade.
I’ve always wanted dreads, but I’m just too white T_T
Anyway, I think the thing that makes it justice is that he was shopping at a whole foods store and that makes him “d-bag”
Wow. How stereotypical. People hating on white people with dreads. I’m white, and i have dreads, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with me. I wash my hair with dread shampoo every day, and i am constantly informing ignorant fools like you all that dreadlocks are not just for black people. What determines what hairstyle one can wear? Certainly not the color of their skin, in my opinion. what i think should determine what hairstyle a person can wear is their own wants. I don’t live my life so prejudicial people like all of you can be satisfied, I live life so I can be satisfied. So while you all are enforcing societal divides, i will be striving to break down barriers and end the hatred.
Congratulations on keeping racist stereotyping and prejudice alive and well you assholes.
Shut up and take a bath hippie
So white folks can have cornrows and not look dumb as hell?
What does that have to do with anything? Dreads on white guys work … cornrows barely even work on black guys.
You are a douche- it has nothing to do with race
He’s a douche cause he is white and has dreads … and it has nothing to do with race? You’re an idiot.
All I can say is I’m glad I don’t live in ‘the land of the free’ and instead live somewhere were being white and having dreads is in no way a big deal nor unusual :/
It’s like a whole country of ignorant home-schooled brats … fun to look at from afar :p
Tl,dnr
Maybe white guys with dreads should start to fight for their rights to get married because people are so prejudice.
So, Lee…Did it hurt when you got your dreads stuck in the car? You should be more careful.
couldn’t agree more with the first comment- y’all just haters!! Lebowski’s comment was also gold though.
I’m pretty sure that was me.was it in Louisville? my wife works at whole foods and i was going in to pick her up. i have long dreadlocks and one got stuck in the door.sorry.
I’m a pretty nice guy,and my hair is my business.i certainly don’t grow it for you guys. But if it made you guys smile (because other peoples misfortune is a riot!) then happy to be of service.
What is the keyboard caricature symbols for the worlds smallest violin?
Well I like white people with dreads.
There’s enough white people around that look all the same, where I live white people with dreads are usually considerede pretty alternative, which is good. Don’t have dreads, but I have long hair and a beard ;D.
Austin: That’s brilliant
.
It sounds like it WAS you, austin. WGsWDs always have some name like: “austin.” It’s a small, hopeful sign you had the decency to apologize, though. Thanks for that, at least.
Awe, look at all the little racist kids. How cute.
Remember when culture used to more than a fashion statement and crappy music?
Wow…laughing at a guy getting his hair caught in a car? IMMD that someone actually has such a lack of hilarity in their life that they needed to share this with the world. *applause for douchebag* Congratz captain tardman, you are probably a WOW nerd…hahaha…loser. For the record, Bomfunk MCs did dreads better than your life. =] GG.
Lee, it’s over
haha. cultural approriation is not a different sense of style. it’s racism, plain and simple. lolz at the dreadlock moron.
White guys with dreads is awesome so why don’t you small-minded pricks shove it up yours?
BTW, I’m a girl, and I DON’T have dreads.
Also, that’s like saying all guys with spiked hair are d-bags or people with blue-tooth are d-bags. Stop stereotyping.
Spiked hair and bluetooth are also good indicators.
I f*cking LOVE how mad this had made people! How can people NOT see how that is funny. Come on now kids, this is a “no sacred cows” zone….. the only thing that tops “white guy with dreads in whole foods” guy is “spiked hair with bluetooth working for a cell phone store” guy. So hats off “chandler” for reminding us that it could be worse…. also for showing us the light about how “small minded” we are for thinking suburban white kids with locks are funny. Let me guess… you went to burning man?
I’m a white guy, and I have dreads. I don’t shop at whole foods, I’m not rastafarian, and I don’t think I’m black. I simply liked the hairstyle, and decided to do something different with my hair. This doesn’t mean I’m a complete low-life stoner either. I got straight a’s in school, and I have a successful job now. This website was made for entertainment, not putting people down because of their personal preferences. Let’s go back to kindergarten and treat others how we’d like to be treated.
what’s weird is that i saw that same guy at a whole foods with his hair stuck in the car. weird!
SUCK MA DICK YOU EMO FUCKERS!
dreadlocks are the fucken man! You have no idea ’bout them you gay american freaks
Yet another reason that white people with dreadlocks look utterly dreadful.
