I wonder who decided that it is taboo for white people to wear dreadlocks or braid their hair! Well, it appears that Justin Bieber seems to have forgotten about the time he was accused of cultural appropriation when he decided to wear dreadlocks back in 2016…

Fast forward five years, and the Yummy singer has once again been criticized for, you guessed it, sporting dreadlocks.
He posted pictures of himself sporting the controversial hairstyle on Instagram on Sunday and Monday, during a vacation with his wife, Hailey Bieber.
As expected, social media had a lot to say about the 27-year-old’s new hairstyle… Clearly this debate about cultural appropriation vs. cultural appreciation is not about to end anytime soon...
"This is not it Justin,” one fan wrote on social media.
“Justin Bieber has moved into a white people dreadlocks phase. I am indefinitely withdrawing my support for the pop singer until this misadventure concludes,” wrote another.
“Justin sweetheart you have to understand that to support black people and the anti racism movement you have to be coherent to what you preach and that means not doing cultural appropriation ever dreadlocks do not look good on you @justinbieber,” another fan added.
"so @scooterbraun you and your client @justinbieber post BLM for days and talking about being an ally or educating y'all's selves but turn around to do this foolery very performative i'm sick of y'all,” yet another fan wrote.
Justin Bieber first debuted blonde dreadlocks before the iHeartRadio Music Awards back in 2016, and immediately received a lot of backlash for it.
He then shaved his head to remove the dreadlocks…
"'Dude, are you gonna do anything with your hair or are you just gonna leave it like that, dude?' Yeah, some girl came up to me, like, 'I love you Justin, but like, that's like my least favorite of yours,'" he said at the time, referencing a fan’s disapproval.
Will he get rid of the dreadlocks immediately this time around. Maybe the dude just loves the look. What do you think?

Who cares really. Instead of worrying about of what a person should or should not do because of their skin color and it’s relativity to your OPINION; can we worry about things that really matter like mental health?? Mental health affects us all. Instead of finding , and I mean finding, things that brings us apart; let’s look into things that may bring us closer together.

LookingFor81 says:Posted: 09 May 21White people have been had dreadlocks for centuries. These idiots need to do 5 minutes of research, I am sure these idiots also wear western made clothes and have blonde wigs! In short, everything is racist to them!

As I communicated earlier, although this isn't one of them, Blacks and other minorities do have many legitimate concerns. To downplay or minimize them, or to be crass by leveling insults or resorting to name calling, suggest that you are deaf to those real issues, or in willful denial.

None of the above, it's just another thing for snowflakes(like yourself) to get upset about. How about you stop wearing Western cothes and using Western made technology! Rather than deal with real Black issues, you peddle race bait like this.
