The question I so much want to pose is, are Universities producing free thinkers at all who are able to adapt to the present ever changing dynamic environment whether be it business or politics, or blinkered scholars who answer what they are taught and exclaim themselves educated? Which brings me to the second question.
Do people actually understand that there is a difference between being educated and scholered? Dreadlocks have nothing to do with the above mentioned questions at all but we the dreadlocked peole are left to be judged by the people who think that hair style can actually affect intellectual identity such that they believe they will streamline our rights using hairstyle bi-laws because they passed with flying colours and think their so called intergrity will not be questioned.
Being dreadlock is a statement of personal liberty but that measure changes from individual to individual. There are those associated with the rastafarian culture it is their right to be in the corparate world you know. And there are some of us who who use it as a sense of personal liberty and creativity and we so much have a lot to share in both the business world and the other relevant busines sectors undoubtably.
Correct me if I am wrong people.

Its not racism, its not discrimination, it is simply statistics. You use them every day, probability, statistics, is it safe to go driving if there is a thunder storm? Humans answer all questions after debating personal safety and benfit(however brief of thoughts they may be sometimes.)
So people associate dreadlocks with the rastafarian culture/religion(which was started by peasants in the 1930's) and they associate the poor with being uneducated. Now i'm not saying it is the best course of action for a civilized society but i am saying that it is the most logical. You don't have to be rich to be educated but statistically speaking if you are rich there is a better probability that you are educated. Why is it so bad for the general public to understand that?
Most people agree that being educated is a good thing. If we would only stop pretending that it is equal everywhere just because we want it to be, maybe, just maybe we could actually change some things. Statistically blacks are less educated than whites b/c statistically whites make more than blacks. How bout instead of people trying to deny this fact and say everything is equal we admit it and try and do something about it.
Jamacians, dreadlocked, blacks, none of them will ever be treated equal in education until we admit there is a problem and do something about it. Education leads to prosperity and until blacks get the same level of prosperity as whites people will always look down on them and there will always be stupid rules and regulations againist them.
Change the statistics. And then people will change their minds.
