Is There Really a Place in the Society for Dreadlocked Dudes in Kenya? I don't Think So..

For every five dudes you will pass in KU, two will have dreadlocks and 1 will have long hair. Obviously enjoying this freedom, many do not have an inkling on what the society has form them especially regarding them sporting dreadlocks.
It is a pity when after several years of taking care of the dreadlocks, becoming attached to them, you meet a fella looking like someone else because they had to shave so as to get an internship.
Can't someone be judged by the content of their character rather than by the nature of their hair, or the way they dress. But this is not the way the society judges such people. Ironically, they are categorized almost at the same place as common place thieves, peddlers, and hash smokers.
A person can have dreadlocks and keep it real, not smoke marijuana, be that guy in the society as any other or even better than those clean shaven, suit-wearing pretenders.

The society has apparently lacked somebody to pick on, as women have their rights, there is the right of minorities, hence they are left only with these dreadlocked dudes to pick on.
There is no apparent connection between dreadlocks and being a weed smoker, being a misfit in the society or something. We are so westernized that we cannot appreciate what we have. Dreadlocks are predominantly African and they come to us naturally not unlike other hairstyles that require a lot of work. We should be proud of what is ours.
In the current Kenyan corporate world, dreadlocks especially for dudes have no place in the office, they are left for artists, painters, and others in the society. It is rare to find an employer willing to employee a dreadlocked dude.  Take for instance Safaricom, I do not think there is a single worker there who is a dude and has dreads, the same case applies for Equity Bank.

Dreadlocks to us, may be what is left that the society has not yet taken.
