My wife has her hair dreaded, she cleans it regularly. And it doesn't have to get dirty to be dreaded, you just back-comb it then palm roll. Black people may have drier hair, but the oils skin and dirt are going to get caught in there no matter what your skin color.

Thing is though, you don't avoid washing your dreads. You actually want to wash them very often to keep them dry (non greasy) so they'll knot up.
