The game is called "a reunion of friends". The idea is to see who reads a post when it does not include a photograph. If no one reads my wall, this should be a short experiment. But if indeed you are reading this message, please make a comment using a single word about how we met. Just a word please- for example, a place, the name of the person who introduced us, etc. The game is to do it with * ONE WORD *. Then, copy this message on your wall and I also leave you a word. Please, don't just leave a word and then not bother copying... you will spoil the fun.

Actually if you were to go as far back as possible, you could argue that "college" was invented in the Middle East due to the complexity of early writing systems like cuneiform meaning that only the elite had access to education. The Academy of Gondishapur was established in Iran in the 6th century. The Guinness-recognized oldest surviving university is the University of al-Qarawiyyin in Fez, Morocco from 859.

Obviously if you're a white person with dreads you're just a hippie liberal. But the second someone says they don't like white people wearing dreads they treat it as a God-given right worth protecting.

I remember a story earlier in the year of someone going up to this guy on college campus to tell him how he was stealing their culture. It was dumb, but not as dumb as the Imgur post.

I was watching a youtube video on minimalism and there was one by a woman (or a man, maybe both, they appeared to be a couple) who had white-person dreads. It was as horrible and unsettling as you would expect. Part of the minimalism was limiting the items of clothing they wore, which meant they didn't wear underwear. There may have been some mild mental problems there which is what I expect when I see white people dreads.

IIRC, dreadlocks is something that appeared in several cultures independant of each other in the ancient world, and several European cultures also had dreadlocks by co-incidence. But yeah, in a modern context, white people with dreads doesn't work a lot of the time.

the "other cultures do it too" thing is a weasel's defense when the actual proximate influence on the current fashion is black culture. White stoners wear dreds because of the association with rastafarianism (as an aesthetic rather than as a religion, too), not because they're into iron age European reenactment

I knew a white guy at university that actually did pull off dreads really well. They were also crazy long so that probably helped.

Other than maybe the occasional individual, no white culture had dreads for thousands of years (if we even had them, there's little to no evidence of dreadlocks in Europe) until they were brought to light by modern black culture.

White dreadlocks are stupid and gross because unlike black dreadlocks, to get white hair to do that the hair has to be tangled and gross. White hair isn't meant to be loc'd, those are just matted pigtails.
