The outrage, the name calling, the bullying and the racially-charged hysteria by the racist SJW's has begun.

What he is obviously doing is trying to create publicity for himself. This is a lot better than him street racing his expensive car at absurd rates of speed or publishing naked selfies, that is for sure.

But the SJW racists just cannot restrain themselves from missing an opportunity to become hysterical and make a scene. Clearly, they have not here. And Justin is ringing the cash register to the tune of their selfish wailings. The joke's on you, fellas.
Why is this political. My nephew had dreads much longer and there was no backlash

Please. Dreadlocks have only recently become more common in the States due to the Jamaican influence , specifically Rastafarian religion. Locks also have Hindu origins.

So people can miss me with the "black" cultural appropriation claims. Bieber is als attention whoring with his struggle-dreads, but whatever. It's a bunch of stupidity, the back and forth over it all.

I've never quite figured that out.
Butt?

I'd rather have the other side.

That hairstyle goes way back to ancient Greece. I don't know why the blacks think they "own" it. I would go as far to say THEY are the ones doing the "cultural appropriation".

Who are "the blacks" that think they own dreadlocks? The people who you call "black" include millions in Africa, the Caribbean, Europe, Latin America, the Caribbean etc.

Who are "the blacks" who think they own dreadlocks? And which ones are doing cultural appropriation, since you must be familiar with every African-derived culture that wears locks and for how long the practice has been occurring.

Specify which cultural groups.

I can't believe I'm about to write this, because I cannot stand Bieber, but I think they look good. Much ado about nothing.
