Remember that little story? On March 28th of this year, a scene between two students at San Francisco State University went viral overnight. Corey Goldstein, an student, was walking through the corridors on his way to the next class, when he was confronted by Bonita Tindle, a girl he had seen but didn't know. Bonita didn't like that Corey, a young man of jewish ancestry, had chosen to style his long brown hair into dreadlocks. Somehow, Bonits had it in her mind that dreadlocks were the exclusive province of black people to wear.
Her thought was anyone not black or as she put it 'Egyptian', was 'stealing from her culture'. Bonita grabbed Corey's arm and blocked his path to prevent him from ignoring her. Naturally, Corey protested, this intrusion, repeatedly. This entire little scene was filmed by another student who never appears in the video. The heat got so bad on Bonita, that she had to move out of where she was living at the time. There was an online petition by other students to get her expelled for acting like a bully.
I've heard nothing since early April. Is she still a student at SFSU? Has any discipline been administered? I'm not on Facebook, so I can't check myself.
About once a month my cat hawks up a long wet hairball that, if longer, would look exactly like what’s on some of their heads - just a little more dried out.
She should attend STFU instead.
"The first known examples of the hairstyle date back to ancient Egypt, where dreadlocks appeared on Egyptian artifacts. Mummified remains of ancient Egyptians with dreadlocks have even been recovered from archaeological sites.
The Old Testament also recounts the tale of Samson and Delilah in which a man's potency is directly linked to 'the seven locks on his head' and according to Roman accounts, the Celts were described to have 'hair like snakes' Germanic tribes, Greeks and the Vikings are all said to have worn dreadlocks too."
Don’t look too closely,something may be looking back.
Walking upright is a cultural appropriation by Bonita Tindle.
I know a very kind homeschooling mother of seven who has dreadlocks down to her knees.
I thought when her oldest got married she would cut them off for the wedding, but she was the mother of the groom with dreadlocks.
Regardless, in my opinion they (dreadlocks) are still nasty. It doesn’t reflect on the character of the person who has them.
People come in all types and colors and demeanors and are creatures of habit and practice. From a practical standpoint, there is no way a mess of balled up coils like that can be adequately maintained in a sanitary manner.
I agree. I’m just surprised that someone like her has them. I keep thinking how much better she would look with clean and pretty hair.
Over the past few weeks, America has held discussions about my personal Black experience, dancing between their own definitions of right and wrong. Over the past few weeks I had to move from my home, change my cell phone number, and disable social media accounts. On March 28, 2016, a viral video was released that intentionally does not capture the full context of an encounter. While passing out flyers in Malcolm X plaza, I saw a white male approaching with dreads. Triggered, I unconsciously move my arm holding the flyer further. He does not approach me to receive a flyer and continues on to his destination. Attempting to react to what triggered me, I jokingly say in a quiet voice “Not with that hair” in the opposite direction of him. My intention was to collegially provoke thought within the man to critically think about his dreads and the racial implications it has as a non-Black person. During the entire incident including what was caught in the viral video, he never refers to the flyer, which he later would intentionally report to the police in order to create a “hate crime” narrative over the flyer. Rather, he then verbally assaults me. He called me a “Bitch.” As a black woman, verbal assault by men comes easily as women are dehumanized, objectified, and over-sexualized by them. I look for the man, going into the building, naturally, to confront him about the verbal slur, tired of being silent. Tired of being docile. I asked him “Did you call me a bitch?” He denied having called me a “Bitch.” He then asked me why I said that about his hair.
It goes on...but boils down to one thing:
De debbil white man dissed me, and ruined mah life.
So, there ya go.
She was TRIGGERED, baby!
No TRIGGERING allowed!
This is sexual harassment, and racial intimidation. However, hate crime laws were made to criminalize anything a White says or does, or doesn’t say or doesn’t do, and to set free non-Whites who physically assault Whites.
Nothing will happen to her.
Their long locks also make good handles when da shi go down, mon.
And forty years go I remember white kids sporting AFRO hair styles.
My thought has always been that if you have photos of yourself taken, dress nice. If you dress “cool” in ten years that “coolness” will make you look like a clown.
She giving herself the full on Michael Jackson treatment.
I’ve seen that show before, and this particular female doctor seems to have a know it all attitude. If the white male host dared to tell her she was starting to look ridiculous, she’d run straight to the courtroom after spilling her guts on Facebook. “Poor widdle me!”
She’s a world class liar!
Imagine him showing up for a job interview?
That might be a girl.
Those cheeks look awfully rosy.
That is what passes (in some circles) for female these days.
She is a racist trying to intimidate whitey. I doubt anything happened to her.
