I'm prolly one of the only dudes in DC that doesn't rock dreads. I refuse to look like everyone else and be a police suspect. But its funny though, if sumthin' goes down and the feds respond to it and get a description, its always a dude with dreads wearin a northface. lol.

when im with my friends, i cant tell you how many times we can just be walking down the street or on the subway minding our own business and police just press us out. smh.....

I don't see how dudes can wear dreads though, even if it's for cultural reason. It's too damn hot in the summer for that.

Well for non cultural reason it would be because a lot of the time dreads attract females. This is very much true in the DC area.

Lol that's funny because a lot of females in New York think dreads are disgusting.

To tell you the truth, I never really think of NY and DC having beef or even really comparing with eachother. I always thought DC's enemy was Baltimore.

New York City's enemies are Los Angeles & Chicago

Washington DC's probably is Baltimore

I think it's because they're so close together.
I don't think they have actual beef, but they probably do have quite a lot of tension because both cities have distinct cultures, economies, and especially professional sports teams.
Plus they're both put in the same CSA.
At it's peak, Baltimore was once the 2nd largest city by population in the USA, only after NYC. It's fallen so far down the list since then. DC fell from it's peak as well.

I see I see, seriously B-More and DC should just unify, it would make things better.
