And as far as caucasians with locks, white folk have a long rich history that most seem to ignore with locks. Saying they can't have locks is rather ignorant and slightly racist. Some do, but they seem to forget what goes along with locks, wearing them as a fashion statement.

Ancient Celts for example, let their hair lock up. Poor warriors would have fat locks that they would dip in lyme, giving them the pale blue spikey look the Celts were famous for. The locks dipped in lyme or mud would form a hard outer shell and the inner layers would offer some cushioning against blows. When you were to poor to afford a metal or leather helmet, this was better than nothing.

Vikings also had locks. The salt water and the sea would lock their hair up quickly. Such care was taken of their hair, and so strong was it, that they could weave cut locks together to form emergency sections of rope.

Early Christians, early Roman Christians, would grow out their hair and let it lock as a symbolic reminder of the Mane of the Lion of Judah that had died on the cross. It was also a rejection of Roman values, which caused most people to have their head shaved.

Many of the settlers that went West and settled had their hair lock up by accident. Lack of combs and all of the wind and elements whipped their hair in to tangles that formed locks.

Locks are a powerful religious and social statement. They are still outlawed in some countries that fear spiritual symbolism. Almost every major religious culture that has ever existed has had locks featured prominately as part of that culture. From the Jews, who had figures like Samson and his seven locks, to the Christians with John the Baptist that never cut or combed his hair, to East Indian Yogis (Like Tat Wale Baba, which most of you have never heard of I am sure) and mystics, who, when they were taken in to slavery by the British, brought their locks over to the islands of the Americas and to a new spiritual movement sweeping through the black slave population. This new movement had no name for the longest time. It would later become Rastafarianism. Even Asian cultures have locks in their history.

They are a universal human feature. All hair is capable of locking. It should be respected and treated with dignity. It shouldn't be a "hair style" or some part of a pop culture movement.

So tell me, what is wrong exactly with white folks having locks? So long as they are doing it to embrace their own history, their own culture, their own roots, and not trying to be something they are not, and believe me, I see a lot of folks that get them for all the wrong reasons, what is wrong with having them?
