Bro I’ve lived in the south my whole life and I promise you I’ve never heard anyone sound like that. Not even the ole timers in Ohio county which is where God is from.

u/pheonix198 Jul 08 '23
This is a bit deeper south than Ohio, bud. This is Alabama, Georgia, Southern Tennessee, Florida, parts of Arkansas and so on. deep Bible Belt. Ohio’s got nothing on the Deep South.

I love how I said Ohio County and everyone just assumes it’s in Ohio. Bud.

u/pheonix198 Jul 08 '23
Well, pal, I guess I just skim-read it and believed it was Ohio Country that you said… (like some people say “this is Vols country…”). Have a good day, friend.

I’m sitting on my couch in Columbus Ohio right now reading this and coffee almost came out my nose, holy shit 😂 I can also second this comment. Ohio is the land of the corn home of Jesus. We even have a billboard that says you’re goin to hell if ya done know him 🌽✝️

You misunderstand me. I’m talking about Ohio County, KY.

Even THEY thought you said Ohio Country, guy. Just say your state and move on. Not everyone has every county of every state memorized. Lmao I even live in ky, have my entire life, and thought you said Ohio Country. I was like.....tf he talking about southern lol Ohio isn't southern. Neither is ky. It's Mid East US. You may have heard some "twang" but this lady is WAYYYYY South lol it gets WAYYYY thicker the farther you go.

Ohio is absolutely not the South.... born and raised in Cook County Georgia..that is the South.... Google maps will confirm whom is correct...and God's country is Fargo, Georgia

She was cool with how she asked. She was just genuinely curious.

u/n3w4cc01_1nt Jul 08 '23
shes got the same hair tassles as the other woman so they're friends and she's probably just running it past her friends so she doesn't sound dumb elsewhere and figure out if shes getting gaslit.

u/TruthSpeakin Jul 08 '23
Bingo...same comment I made...she's asking so she knows...and doesn't sound stupid elsewhere... actually, kudos to her for taking interest and wanting to know the correct terms

u/n3w4cc01_1nt Jul 08 '23
yeah she's doing her best to be part of the community. the twang kinda segregates them as well since sometimes people see them as ignorant based off the accent alone similar to what happens to laborers from cities like ny. it's another thing classists prey on and is similar to how people from their community treat people who speak Ebonics.

I feel like she was actually learning before our eyes, and cared enough to want to get it right. Good on her.

This is how genuine human interaction should be. You don't understand something, you respectfully ask about it, learn, and grow in the process.

Facts. My best friend is black (I'm white) and I always ask her about her hair routine and how she prefers to have it styled (locks, twists, etc.) because the sheer variety of styles fascinates me.
I would love for her to teach me how to braid!

u/ifsavage Jul 08 '23
She seems very kind and genuine. I like her

u/IHQ_Throwaway Jul 08 '23
She says she doesn’t want anyone coming for her, but I do think she also doesn’t want to accidentally hurt someone with her words. She didn’t know, so she to checked in with a friend. Good for her.

It’s true it’s a subculture concept that say dreadlocks are a negative thing smh most people just say locks or dreads or dreadlocks it doesn’t matter.

u/Veluxidus Jul 08 '23 edited Jul 08 '23
I’ve heard it’s because initially white people coined the term in reference to black people with the hair feature. They’re dreadful because in the eyes of the viewer at the time, they looked awful

Different accent, but same idea.
I lived in Charlotte for a couple years, and a roofer came to give me an estimate and the only thing I could understand was the drawn out "I'll tell you whaaaat" at the end of half his sentences. Like a South Carolina Dale Gribble. It was really fucking odd.
Lot of that kind of odd down there.

u/69yourMOM Jul 08 '23
I live in the south and I can very much tell you this lady is more than likely sweet as can be but has grown up around a lot of racism and prejudice. By that accident I’d say a small town with a lot more open in your face prejudice.
She’s taking advantage of her moment to gain some understanding and break those barriers.
When we can understand we have much more in common than we don’t. These types of conversations get to happen.

Instead of assuming, she asked to make sure. Now calling them "lockes" is the correct way of pronouncing them because of the negative connotation of the word "dread." You get a 👍 up for this.

u/undarated79 Jul 08 '23
What he shad is what you would classify as salon locks. Well maintained and manicured. You know dreadlocks when you see them. They do their own thing and all aren’t the same size. They also mat up which makes them stronger since if they are too thin, it’s easy for them to fall out. So unless you’re Rasta or practice Rastafarianism most likely you have dreads for fashion and have what are considered salon locks. Having dreads as a form of rebellion also is only a piece of the puzzle.
Baldheads with dreadlocks come replace Rasta. “Midnite Reggae Band”

That chick has a very Dolly Parton vibe to her. I bet she's all the way cool.
Locs of matted hair as a hairstyle can be found all over the world since the dawn of time. The "Dread" part came as an insult by Europeans in the Caribbean, but the name has since been taken back by the Black community and no longer acts as an insult.
No one is insulted by their locs being referred to as dreadlocks, but obviously there are always outliers who will find something to be insulted by. It's a pretty simple situation though, if someone says they don't like being called something, you don't have to agree or like it to respect their feelings.
Also, that guy's hair doesn't even look locked.

u/victorcaulfield Jul 08 '23
When a white person says “I have a buddy who’s black and they said….” This is her buddy. She’s checking because she doesn’t want to blend in with the racists in her area. This seems really respectful to me.
