[QUOTE="Hoppy2105, post: 1486278, member: 9835"] I see a lot of people calling this racist on the net but I don’t think it goes that far. I know that we don’t see dreadlocks on many white guys, and that it’s predominantly a hairstyle worn by the black community, so I get how people are connecting the two. But I think this guy is truly just an old “get-off-my-lawn” stick in the mud who probably also complained when white guys started playing football with long hair. He is basically the true to life Grandpa Abe from the Simpsons and we should all make fun of him for that. But to declare him racist? I’d need to actually see racist comments first. (I mean, he might actually BE a horrible racist, but let’s not jump to that conclusion because he likes crew cuts) [/QUOTE]
