Trigger Mike Posted July 8, 2016 Author Share Posted July 8, 2016 the news shows a picture of the cowardly murderer of Dallas, TX wearing a dashiki. I thought it was a muslim thing but am not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Brules Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Popular in the female black community in the 60's and 70's. No religious significance then....a fashion fad. A long flowing shapeless dress-like garment, tribal-type designs.....originated in Africa(?). Edit My neighbors (wife and girls) wore them. I thought them attractive (the girls were attractive anyway). :-) :-) . The husband and older son thought they were goofy......the younger son wisely kept his mouth shut. Edit 2 The other night Fox (O'Reily) showed a photo of bracko wearing something like it at a relative's muslim wedding some years ago. Not sure I'd call the garment he wore in those photos as a dashiki. I recall no religious significance attached to the dashiki in the 60's and 70's when they were popularized as as a women's fashion.

Gunner Gatlin, SASS 10274L Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 The racist killer wore it as a symbol of 'black power' or 'black pride'. GG ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
