Parents outraged after principal questions whether their black son's braided hairstyle means he is a gangster

I remember the private school I went to (all black staff/students) banned us from having flat tops in the late 80s…I remember we did a school visit and we overheard one of the kids laughing at how corny we were cuz not a single one of us had a flat top, just to show you how wildly popular it was to have them back then lol

nikka we felt so bad…he said that on the low but loud enough for most of us to hear it…having cool hair can mean a lot for a teenager’s image lmao

Purchase a 3 pack of shoulder fired missiles from AliExpress and level the whole building.

Now that would be some “gangster” shït

Fair question. If a nikka shave his dreads that mean he dropped something. I heard that in a rap song

He should have said something slick back. Make her feel stupid infront of everybody.

It means he's tired of looking like a woman

Centuries ago Kings and Queens had Braids, now it represents Gangsterism

Nah. My locs were 3' long and getting caught in closing doors, I kept sitting on them, little kids kept grabbing them, and after 15 years I was just tired of the maintenance, not to mention how long it took to dry them after washing.

Cut them off 3 years ago, but started growing them back after almost 2 years. They're a foot long, now, and that's as long as they're gonna get.​
