I will admit I suffer from it, too. I'm in grad scool now, growing dreads, but when I go out on the market in a few years, at most I'll have braids. Part of is it because I like different hairstyles, but part is that I want a job, and white people and dreads don't necessarily mix well in conservative circles.

though i do not agree with you totally salience...i can see where you are coming from...without unity, there can be no progress...and at this point in black america...unity is severely lacking...therefore one could accurately predict that unless there is a concerted effort to build and maintain unity within our race...we will not progress as a people in the forseeable future...
