Many, but not all black people, find the idea of white people wearing locks offensive. Although times are changing, it is still considered unprofessional or militant in certain circles (both black and nonblack) for a person with nappy hair to let it do what it does naturally. No other ethnic group is viewed as militant when they choose to not alter the texture of their hair. Dreadlocks on white people are another example of white privilege: You can cut them off if you choose to one day and join corporate America, but my hair in its natural state may hinder me in a job search. For black people, hairstyles cannot be completely separate from lifestyle. Even if a black person tries to separate the two, others will continue to judge the person based on their hairstyle.
