I don't even wear fitteds to work out here man and I'm working in the Chicago burbs. I don't know if one of those Chief Keef types will have missed their CTA stop, ending up outside of city limits and will bust on sight when they see me going to work. All of them got the same look too, that dingy Edgerrin James with the gold fronts look, eyes looking like they are singing marijuana carols, wearing bubble coats in 80 degree weather to obscure the burner.

Not me. :myman:I'm not getting got.

Swear it sounds like you describing the Rogers Park/ Evanston border where the popeyes is across from the Evanston police. The fools over there are always looking up to no good.


Too many dreadheads and you gotta move that ass. Not even because of what they might do to you, but ive seen the cops roll up and get in them asses. Last thing you need is to step out with skittles and an Arizona and walk 2 feet within where they at, especially if they puffin weed at the time.

he talking about popeye's on 26th and california. however, nikkas don't live in that area really.

That explains it. My rule of thumb for Chicago Nikkas:If the street is a number instead of a word, avoid that shyt. You too far south.

It's a damn shame our own people profiling dreads like mark cuban profile blacks in hoodies.

A nikka with his head on straight can't even rock dreads without being seen as a target. shyt sucks.


Glad you're alright though.

I fukk with that lakefront too. Not a fan of PAWGS myself but a nikka who is would love that shyt. I know that shyt sound corny but you could rent one of those Divvy Bikes and eat good just riding up and down the lakefront all day.

when it was warm, I'd ride my bike up and down lakeshore drive. I went from 55th to the museum campus and then I went up north to montrose. but from 55th to 31st street, it was a virtual hoe-asis of rats everywhere :whew:

Them fools bringing it on themselves. The amount of malnourished, dubiously tatted dreadheads who wear weedsmoke like deodorant are walking profiles for foolishness. Anyone else on the baby dread wave gets looked at funny immediately. Especially if they are loitering.

west side streets all have words, so don't think shyt is sweet just cuz it's not a numbered street. lots of nice areas where it's numbered streets. even :obama: live on a numbered street.

You say they bring it on themselves but if you look deeper it was brought upon them by an oppressive system that made them into what they are. They are violent idiots, yes, but they are victims.

All I'm saying is dreads are one of the coolest hairstyles around is predominantly from our culture. It sucks we can't rock it without being profiled as a being malicious. Most people I've met who have dreads are smart dudes and girls with their mind right and are very conscious. I hate that they have to be looked at as dangerous by not only whites but many of our own just because they wanna keep it black and not get a #1 at the barbershop to make a white boy feel safe to give him a job.

You have to come to the city to see it. I've seen plenty of people with nice dreads, but these aren't those people. Most of them look like Gunplay, higher than the Hubble and angry. Just plain and flat out angry. We can rightfully lay blame to a system that failed them, etc.., but they are angry. So yes, dreads can be rocked, but when the rest of the attire and presentation makes them look like a menace 2 society extra, that's where the trepidation comes from. You should know that if you want to be the part of something, you dress that way. Segway here, this one woman I work around, says that she wants to be a director for the department of the hospital I work with. I look at her, while friendly with her and think she's a nice person, but I think in my head that you don't even do your hair half the time, wearing family reunion and RIP shirts and shyt. You are simply judged by everything in most instances. Just because we are secluded from the rest of the hospital and our dress code is more lax doesn't mean that you should even though we are allowed to. I'm always dressed like I have to address something that is important.

My point is that it's the overall presentation, it's not just the hair. Pants off of their ass, talking loud as hell, square behind the ear. We know that look because we've all see someone like that. It's when you see all that and the dreads just becomes background noise to the overall composite of the person.
