Black people been saying that, whytf should we care that a "pawg" caught on?

Yea, that’s been a thing for a while now. I never refer to them as ‘dreads’.

I guess reading the comments it seems to be divided. About 65% of black people are saying the “dread” shyt is a myth and that black people fjrst coined the term dreadlocks not cacs.

I say dreadlocs, I think the whole "white people named it that because they thought it was dreadful" is nothing more than a facebook rumor

Interesting thing is folks that'll refuse to say dreadlocks but say nikka

Only when language isn't pliable.

Consider what 'woman' means now.​

You’re probably right. I never believed that was the origin of the name but I still don’t like referring to them as dreads. Had on OG check me on that many, many years ago and I agreed.

Nikka was pillow talking this white bytch. Or nikkas got comfortable talking real shyt with a white bytch around. Tell that lady to check her racist grand parents that made them same nikkas with dread locks step off the side walk when they walked by in the 1950s.. Its wasn't that long ago.

Talk to some Jamaicans about this and they gonna have a completely different opinion.
