Viral video of student confrontation over dreadlocks prompts investigation at SFSU - GMDino - 03-29-2016 http://kron4.com/2016/03/29/viral-video-of-prompts-investigation-at-sfsu/ Quote:SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) — Campus police at San Francisco State University have launched an investigation into a viral video that shows a female student confronting a male student on campus about his dreadlocks. RE: Viral video of student confrontation over dreadlocks prompts investigation at SFSU - Nebuchadnezzar - 03-29-2016 Wouldn't it be funny if the school told the guy, "Cut your hair or be expelled"?

Honestly at this point I'd have to laugh because otherwise I'd cry. I just can't believe the things some people consider worth fighting about. SMDH RE: Viral video of student confrontation over dreadlocks prompts investigation at SFSU - Rotobeast - 03-29-2016 As the school projects this person's 1st amendment rights, would they do the same if they wore "black-face" ? What would make the two different, if the person felt more like they perceived themselves ? I'm just curious on where/how lines are drawn.

I think you need to try that again...You may have a good point, I just can't figure it out.

Well, generally (non-black) people who wear black-face are mocking African-Americans and they are ridiculed for doing so, including being denounced by their university, ect. My question is regarding a (non-black) person who might choose to wear black-face to enhance their self-image or make a statement. Would the university defend them the same as this white person wearing dreadlocks ? If not, why ? How are the lines drawn ? RE: Viral video of student confrontation over dreadlocks prompts investigation at SFSU - NATI BENGALS - 03-29-2016 Why is she worried about that dudes hair when the guy she is with is wearing pink tights a trench coat and giant black boots? He is obviously stealing white goth girls culture.

I forgot to add.... If a university completely refused to defend anyone wearing black-face (regardless of reasoning), would this woman somewhat then have grounds for a grievance? If I"m mistaken and there are white aboriginals with this hairstyle, disregard the question. RE: Viral video of student confrontation over dreadlocks prompts investigation at SFSU - BmorePat87 - 03-29-2016 He handled that well. I like when people grab others and then tell them to not touch them... and then they grab the property of others... College kids are useless sometimes. RE: Viral video of student confrontation over dreadlocks prompts investigation at SFSU - Nately120 - 03-29-2016 Oy, women who pull the "I'm going to touch you but don't you dare touch me" card both frighten and enrage me.

I think the difference is that "black-face" is used primarily to imitate black folk. The African American culture does not have a monopoly on dreds as they do black face. I wonder what this female would say to a Pacific Islander wearing Dreds.

While I understand what you're saying (and agree), the university specifically mentioned freedom of speech. That's would've included chosen appearance, considering they've applied it to this cat's dreads. Now.... I'm not suggesting people go around in black-face. I'm just thinking of the different varieties of people out there and how they might identify. They may be whites that identify with being black and choose to wear make-up to feel comfortable. I just wonder if they would be protected or ridiculed ? I swear I have not been watching "Soul Man".

Things like black face carry a certain historical "weight". That's why (right or wrong) people get upset when the word "lynch" is used toward blacks or when "code words" get bandied about like "uppity". It's not limited to blacks. Most minorities have had some kind of stereotype used to portray them over time and most are now severely frowned upon because they were co-opted to degrade and demean those groups.

I guess I'm approaching I'd as a "letter of the law" kind of direction, sans sensitivity. I'm not promoting anything. It's more of a "Gee... my wife is cackling it up with a couple other hens in the family room and I'm really bored. Hmmmm... how far would this university go to protect free speech/expression? ".

This is much more readable. That being said, I was wrong. You don't have a point.
