In his youth, he didn't have the whole "stinky homeless, nappy-head-dreadlock" look going on. Now he does. When I met him, he seemed a good guy with a sense of humor and a great physique. He probably still is, he just looks dirty.
I get what your saying, but dreads are not just for stinky homeless people. They are a fashion statement. People with naturally kinky hair, regardless of skin color, don't have all the same hairstyle options as do folks with relatively straight hair.
Darryl Lynn "D. L." Hughley is an American actor, political commentator, radio host and stand-up comedian who sports the spiky dreads look well.
