Why can't white people have dreadlocks?

But clearly pointing that out to people means you're disrespecting African identity and are tribal/s

there are only a select few out of the millions of black people in this country who will think this way. as for the rest, we just think it looks ugly on white people.
Its a free country, you do you. If you want dreads, go for it.

I bet most african americans don't even know what african tribes use dreadlocks.

Also, white people generally dont have the correct hair volume/consistency for traditional locks. Straight hair makes very ugly, mop-looking locks. If you're white and you got very curly hair, you can make it work, otherwise dont try

dreadlocks were invented in greece, interestingly.
The ancient minoan people weren't white though, they were closer to middle eastern races and aryans

The problem isn't that there are many people that will be upset, but rather that they are very vocal despite being a small minority of the black community.
