    This is directed to all the whiteys in the audience.

    Would you grow an afro if you were black? Well, would ya? I'd say I probably would, just to try it out.

    I know a fella who grew a pretend one outta curls. it was cool, but its not the same! more of a tesco value afro, than a fully fledged Tescos Finest.

    So anyway, woulda ya?

    My brother has a afro (a proper one too) and he isnt black.
    However, he is stupid looking, so I vote no.

    No - but is that my inner black persona speaking or me as a white man speaking? Must discuss with a therapist...

    My dad has one, and he's not black!

    I have really bad frizzy hair, so no. I want poker straight hair.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,470 ✭✭✭Mr_Roger_Bongos


    Absolutely!

    I think if I was a chocolate face I'd go for the Larry Blackmon "eraserhead" look.

    I don't know where to begin pointing out how wrong this thread is.

    Edit: I'll begin with banning Pigman II for that "chocolate face" comment.

    I thought it was just me, then I gave myself the benefit of the doubt, but I am not so sure now.

    /off to start a "When should you stop beating your wife/kids/dog/neighbours" thread.:rolleyes::eek:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,686 ✭✭✭EdgarAllenPoo


    I honestly think I would if I could but it would take me years.

    Are you saying I'm not black?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,243 ✭✭✭kelle


    If my husband were black, i'd encourage him to grow an afro - nicer for running your fingers through.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,606 ✭✭✭Carroller16


    Yes, Yes I Would.

    Id love to have cornrows, think they look pretty cool and easy enough to manage. My european blondie hair wouldnt stand up to the strain of cornrows though :(

    If he was black you would be more interested in his 2 foot long cóck than any afro he might grow :D

    Bit racist.

    no - afros should stay in the 70s with flares and smelly armpits

    Stevie Wonder said he would !

    My white-boy fro has always lacked a certain something. Maybe more melanin is the key... maybe the question should be 'would you turn black if you had an afro?'

    In short, yes. The Leo Sayer comments are starting to chafe my happy :)


  • Moderators, Regional East Moderators Posts: 21,504 Mod ✭✭✭✭Agent Smith


    I would



    anything beats my current hairstyle tbh


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,956 ✭✭✭layke


    Naw, shaved head so I could wax my dome.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,893 ✭✭✭The_B_Man


    eh u can shave ur head now and wax it! the question then would be:

    Would you get a tattoo of 3 bowling ball holes on ur head if u were a skinhead?

    i'd grow the afro meself anyway, and i'd grow me locks right down to me mouth. i'd then store the afro comb thingy above me ear. but i'd still talk in me dublin accent! phil lynnott stylee! :D

    I would, but knowing me it would end up to be some hybrid-straight/curly afro.
