Black college girl confronts white college man for wearing dreads (Photos + Video)

A video showing a black girl and her friend stopping a white man wearing dreadlocks has gone viral since it was shared online. The confrontation took place stairs by the bottom of the stairs of the school building.
Both students have been identified as students of San Francisco State University. In the less than 1 minute clip a black girl was seen asking the white guy why he had dreads on his hair. She confronted him for ‘appropriating her culture’.

The dreadlocked man in the video was identified by SF Weekly has identifie as Cory Goldstein.

In the video another male student, who is also black, defends the woman.

After accusing the white guy of wearing a traditionally black hairstyle, she asks her friend if he has a pair of scissors.

‘You’re saying I can’t have a hair style because of your culture. Why?’ asks Goldstein.

‘Because it’s my culture,’ the woman says.

Then he said what if dreads was an Egyptian thing and asked her if she was Egyptian.

She then throws the question back at him asking him if he’s Egyptian before asking over and over ‘Where is Egypt?’

Then he tried to walk away from her but she pulled him down the stairs by his shirt to prevent him from walking up a stairwell.

‘Yo, stop touching me right now,’ Goldstein tells her.

She then pulls him down the stairs saying, ‘come here’, and tells him not to put his hands on her.

‘I don’t need your disrespect,’ he says as she finally releases her grip.

He then walks away.

As she followed him up the stiars, she noticed that someone was recording the incident and asked him..why he was filming.

The guy said: ‘Just for everyone’s safety,’

Goldstein then wrote on his Facebook after the incident: ‘I just got physically assaulted because I have dreadlocks woe.’

Then he wrote: ‘ I am not filing any criminal charges against the girl who harassed me yesterday. I did file a formal campus police report and I decided to let the education system deal with her’.

SFSU released a statement saying they are investigating the confrontation:

‘We are aware of the video made of an incident which occurred on campus yesterday afternoon. University police were called to the scene of the incident when it occurred.

‘The two individuals involved in the incident are not San Francisco State University employees. Further, no criminal charges have been pressed at this time to the University’s knowledge.
