Umm, actually: dreads earliest historical appearance is from what in now Greece. They are Caucasian, not African.

Lin wrote a little something explaining it further in depth too. Theres a link on his Insta page

K-Mart deleted the Instagram posts. what a sore loser. at least apologize.

I wear jeans but I'm not tryin' to be White. Just 'cause Lin has dreads means he wants to be Black? Get out of here.

Yup “I was just joking, my wording was bad.” What an ass hat.

So he basically said "Its fine if I do it, but not you"?? What a dick.
Something along those lines. Don't remember what he said, cause I don't like to give douchebags like that anymore attention than I have to.

Let's point out that Vikings also had dreads... And they were very white.

I'm a white bloke and had dreads for 8 years. Nobody said owt. Culture spreads, its how culture works. You can't misappropriate culture.
Not to mention dreadlocks are the natural state of human hair generally.
SemperFiZero
Martin literally has no response. He responded with hate and got dunked on with kindness.
Ireallydonthaveanyideawhattonamemyself
No. Kmart came back and backpedaled as hard as humanly possible.
DixonHillPrivateEye
Not really, he doubled down
It was a little bit of both. He said that Lin would just get made fun of endlessly in the locker room and that's all he meant.
I didn't see that response, only the initial one where he said he was just joking but then went back to saying he's free to not like the 'do
Either way, he's an ass.

Kenyon Martin is a Moron. Every Culture has probably had people with Dreads since the beginning. Shit, cavemen probably had dreads.

Cultural appropriation? Some women need to remove those wigs then.
youcanrelaxaroundme
Wigs were first worn by white aristocrat men...same with heels..so if I draw a winged eyeliner Ami trying to be asian??WHERE Does it end?;!
I will remember that next time I see a black woman wearing a blond wig.
I will also point out that a white man wearing a white wig would be gender appropriation, not cultural.
SpookleFire
The best part is, Dreadlocks of any kind can not be considered cultural appropriation because its a style shared by every culture 1/2
on the planet starting with the ancient greeks, its also a centuries old polish/german cultural icon.
mmmat
Waaaaaaaay before the Greeks. Dreads are as old as humans having hair.
The Greeks have the earliest confirmation of having them tho.
CongratsYouAreHereNow
just because some old racist cunts said that black people had dreadlocks, it means that black people own dreadlocks?
you should pay more attention to the fact that black kids are fucked by the education system that funds public school with property taxes /2
which prevents upward mobility. this is far worse for the black community than "cultural appropriation" and someone copying your hairstyle
No.
FEMAcampsarereal
Serious question. Didn't the wider African American community appropriate dreads from the minority Rastafarian community?
No. Because loads of cultures wear dreads. Going back 1000s of years all around the world. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dreadlocks
psein
most have seem to think it's ok to wear any hair etc as long as you understand where said styles come from and don't make money doing it.
tons of cultures believe their hair carry their power. In length and in locks. Native american warriors would cut them for their wives
Jewish women do it too
appropriation of typically black hairstyles is only a problem when rich white people do it for fun and fashion after some hundreds of 1/2
I would respond that the wider African American community probably has a higher standard of living than the Rastafarians, and as such,
Could be considered "rich black people". I would also ask if the hairstyle is typically black, as it has only been popular in the US for
About the last 30 years. I would also ask if the Rastafarians have faced prejudice from wider African American community for their beliefs.
most likely from some, yes. But dreads have been around always, so anyone should be able to have them. Problems only arise when 1/
years of slaving and stealing from said people. And still poc get discriminated in some areas for wearing their hair in traditional ways.
Mavgurian
And an intelligent person like yourself, capable of distinction between individuals of a demographic group, are sure that both 1/2
groups are comprised of the same people? 2/2
no, I am aware that almost all groups interlap in multiple ways with other groups.
Fahargo
Jesus the rich white people have discovered how to live for centuries now? I bet they stole that from black culture to somehow.
Svartlebee
"Stealing". Dreads aren't an African invention and cannot be stole.
A fashion can never be stolen.

SecSantaThrowAway
Maybe on the world stage, but they're talking about in America, additional there are more European representation than Asian in the world.
DickPicEnthusiast
If we're going to be specific, in basketball it seems non-blacks are the minority.
In my experience people who believe in appropriation don't feel shame for any of their own actions.

Yep, I'm misappropriating that immediately
Martin doubled down on his asinine comments by first saying "I was just joking " then repeating that he didn't like Lin's 'do. Idiot.
BustyOrangutan
That is the most asinine excuse possible, and makes it abundantly clear that he has no credibility left.
I'm not even an NBA fan, and this exchange makes me want to buy Lin's jersey.
ImAChiquitaBanana
To be fair, Lin's hair style does look pretty ridiculous on him. With the way the sides are shaved, it looks like the dreads are just (1)
75PercentSith
How do people like your first part but not your second, even though your statement pretty much stays the same? Fuckin' people, man.
EddieMurphyDragon
They don't want to dig through a comment chain or maybe give 2 downvotes for one thought?
sort of glued on to a buzz cut. That's just what it looks like to me. Never seen anyone else with dreads like that. (2)
I think it looks a bit Viking-esque
flikrdoodles
Basically instead of trying to call him a racist the dude should have just given him advice on how to style it better.
tufkab
It's a haircut....who gives a fuck??
side-shaved dreadlocks is the most common variation next to short-cut dreads... which usually include shaved sides.
out of their head still. (2)
I know, but the WAY his is shaved is what makes it look weird to me. With other people, the dreads at least look like they are coming (1)
BarftheMawg
Jeremy Lin graduated from an Ivy League school and has been nothing but a class act his entire career. Why would he go after him?

And a good upbringing. His dad was a huge supporter for him into pushing him into basketball and improving his game
Did not know that, thanks!

If someone uses the term "cultural appropriation", I just assume they're a cunt who looks for reasons to be offended.

If I remember correctly, the oldest recorded use of dreads was in India something like 3500 years ago.

Cultural appropriation 99% of the time is just bs. Then you get things like swastikas...
anunadulteratedmadman
Swastikas do not appropriate anything. Ethnic hatred and violence has nothing to do with "cultural appropriation".
I'm assuming Sammy is referring to the swastika being a Hindu thing before the Nazis. Now it's tainted in the western world.
Ah, well, I suppose that's a fair point. There is no cultural trademark system.
How are swastikas cultural appropriation?

motorwaffle
Or the "binge drinking festival" America keeps turning all Mexican traditions into.
AStegosaurus
As long as we agree that dressing as a black person for Halloween does not count as "blackface". Blackface is used to replace black people
and keep them from working legitimately, which is why it is a problem. Painting yourself to represent someone you respect is not a problem.
Tbh I don't know. I'm white so I have no idea. I personally wouldn't for same reason, but to each their own
As I view it, if you are using someone else's culture as a prop or a joke, that I'd cultural appropriation and it isn't cool.

Black rednecks and white liberals. The book talks about how Africa Americans lost their culture and adopted the rednecks culture
Rednecks don't value education, they love jesus, Their trucks/whip is their life and solve their problems with violence
Just look at the difference between Africans vs African Americans and its pretty clear. Downvote all you want. Truth sometimes hurts
The violence is based off the herder culture from the Scots-Irish. Joe Rogan podcast with Hunter Maats talks about it. Fun listen
And I say hurts since being compared to rednecks would suck

Vogue hiring a white model to do a "geisha" themed photoshoot is cultural appropriation. Rocking an ethnic hairstyle means nothing.
Billywonderful
I don't even think that's culture appropriation. Like a white girl becoming an actual geisha is. But you're talking about a costume.
They could have just hired an Asian is the point. Fashion industry is pretty much all white.
no it's really not
You can't do anything without pissing someone off. If they had used a Japanese model someone would have been pissed about typecasting.
Nah they would have been happy Asian models are getting jobs
why don't people understand that appropriation applies to those cultures whites have shat on for centuries? not to whites who are in charge.
Asian people do not 'own' geisha culture, and dressing up as a geisha does not take it away from Asian people. It is not appropriation.
Not hiring any Asian models ever and then having a perfect opp to hire one and instead picking a white model is a fucking problem.
/2 If you just want to bitch because they're not discriminating in FAVOR of demographic X, fuck off.
Every model is a "perfect opp" for an asian model. If you want to claim a company's discriminating against race, file a lawsuit. Its illegal
Wow I didn't realize you needed to go to such extreme lengths to back up an Imgur comment

Literally every group of humans that at some point had long hair and went long periods without washing it.
GdSvThQn
Greeks too.
DickDastardly404
Mongols, Vikings, turks, celts, egyptians, Native Americans... Pretty much every region of the world at some point wore a lot of dreads.
Synthetics66
The Norse took great care with their personal appearance. Usually keeping their beards trimmed, and even waxed or dyed to attract women.
bearhill2
Still we disgusted Ahmad ibn Fadlan...
AlgizM
Just because he washed 5 times a day and Vikings once a week...but compared to the rest of europe they were doing just fine
PeggingandTransFanboyExPlusMachina
The hairdo has been a style used in many cultures throughout history. Because it's just hair. It's not culture.
Segismundo
Plus he called him out in English, I guess he should have done it in an african language? I don't even know anymore.
MrMudin
Vikings was actually quite cleanly by the days standards. Combs and shit. Some even dyed their hair blonde
japh
And hippies who didn't shower.
DanFendi
Everyone did. Hairbrushes are a recent invention, human history-wise. Which is why I get pissed whenever someone is like 'but you white!'
TheMayorOfTittyCity
Them and basically all humans prior to the invention of the hair brush.

Literally every human can have dreads. So long as you're not completely bald.

So it is an African hairstyle. Check mate.

Technically yeah. Holy shit
Zerogates
If you mean North Eastern African hairstyle, as in Egyptians and Israelis for example, then yes.
Yeah. Cradle of life. And i get down voted.
That rules out the Vikings then, they were known quite famously for maintaining their hair, nearly all viking graves include a comb.
You must be unaware of a dread comb then.
Vikings still wore dreads as an effective way to manage their hair and it still looked good. They still combed their beards though
Do you have a source for these viking dreads?

I will remember that next time I see a black woman wearing a blond wig.

I will also point out that a white man wearing a white wig would be gender appropriation, not cultural.

The best part is, Dreadlocks of any kind can not be considered cultural appropriation because its a style shared by every culture 1/2

on the planet starting with the ancient greeks, its also a centuries old polish/german cultural icon.

No. Because loads of cultures wear dreads. Going back 1000s of years all around the world. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dreadlocks

appropriation of typically black hairstyles is only a problem when rich white people do it for fun and fashion after some hundreds of 1/2

Literally every group of humans that at some point had long hair and went long periods without washing it.
GdSvThQn
Greeks too.
DickDastardly404
Mongols, Vikings, turks, celts, egyptians, Native Americans... Pretty much every region of the world at some point wore a lot of dreads.
Synthetics66
The Norse took great care with their personal appearance. Usually keeping their beards trimmed, and even waxed or dyed to attract women.
bearhill2
Still we disgusted Ahmad ibn Fadlan...
AlgizM
Just because he washed 5 times a day and Vikings once a week...but compared to the rest of europe they were doing just fine
PeggingandTransFanboyExPlusMachina
The hairdo has been a style used in many cultures throughout history. Because it's just hair. It's not culture.

Plus he called him out in English, I guess he should have done it in an african language? I don't even know anymore.

Vikings was actually quite cleanly by the days standards. Combs and shit. Some even dyed their hair blonde

So it is an African hairstyle. Check mate.
ThatSquirrelInTheCorner
Technically yeah. Holy shit
Zerogates
If you mean North Eastern African hairstyle, as in Egyptians and Israelis for example, then yes.
bobziIIa

That rules out the Vikings then, they were known quite famously for maintaining their hair, nearly all viking graves include a comb.

You must be unaware of a dread comb then.
UnknownGeek
Vikings still wore dreads as an effective way to manage their hair and it still looked good. They still combed their beards though
VinnieJonesDiary
Do you have a source for these viking dreads?

Haven't you seen the show Vikings? It's on the History channel, it must be true. I watch it right after ancient aliens
