Anonymous asked: At first they were called "locks" but then racists began to call them dread locks because they thought they were uncivilized, ugly, and dreadful. So they started saying "dreadlocks" and It just caught on. I know it's not a common fact, I just want people to know. To my mom and aunts it just seems like an insult to call them "dreadlocks" because as you know there is absolutely nothing dreadful about "locs" in fact there awesome.
Ah I see. Thank you
