I don't know if I live in an alternate world than most of yall or what, but it's crazy that damn near everything most of yall have experienced, I've experience the opposite. Maybe I'm blind and don't know it...
Maybe not around women, but I've heard these kinds of conversations in barbershops since a kid. The older barbers will check the younger ones sometimes about the conversations, but only if the older ones are in the shop at the time.
nikkas getting shot outside the barbershop in the neighborhood I was raised in was/is not uncommon. Not that every barbershop is like that but if anybody is from Pittsburgh, no way in fukk you don't remember Ham's barbershop on the Hill getting shot up or nikkas constantly getting shot in front of it or McGinnis in Mt. Oliver where the same thing was always happening. Before I grew my hair back I seen nikkas fight at the neighborhood barber's house who cut out of his living room as a side job.
Where do yall nikkas live at that you experience none of the world that I see?

That clip is how women and gay men think we talk in the barbershop. It aint uncommon to talk about sex or other mature topics in the barbershop but it does not happen in this manner or w/ this lack of respect for the rest of the customers. This is just not how men talk about these topics.

Been a regular at barber shops in Baltimore, Baltimore county, pg county, and Philly with barbers ranging in age from 25-65. Never seen a barber get this foul with it.
The "worse" I would get was the Philly barber who would preach to me and try to convert me to NOI but it's like for the opposite reason of the titty fukking guy in that clip. He could cut and he was generally available so I just dealt with it.
My barbershop just have music playing, talk about latest shyt going on or something we watched and just sports
They even got a tip jar for swearing, even though no one use it. They might cuss a LITTLE but it’s nowhere like this scene
This scene extra as fukk

Exactly. And nikkas getting bent out of shape about it is doing the writers a favor. Y’all generating all type of views and engagement. I never even heard of this show.
trying to push a narrative, girl is a lesbian so of course they show someone being a lewd homophobe.
Such a bullshyt scene. This never happens in all of the barbershops I've been in. Convos are deaded once women and children walk in. Unwritten rule and just plain decency and respect amongst one another.

You're being disingenuous, but I'll answer in good faith. Rap is, ostensibly, created by those same black men, so that's them creating their own image, for better or worse. This, otoh, is negative imagery produced by outsiders.lay out your counterargument instead of throwing stones.
When it's rappers rapping about murdering Black men it's entertainment when it's some LGBT folk depicting some unrealistic barbershop shyt, brothers up in arms crying. It's either entertainment or it's not.
Similar to how women call each other bytches but you better not.

members of our community make a strange pastime out of pathologizing perfectly human actions when they're performed by bp, but it's really just that simple.

The issue that goes hand in hand with it is it's classist and I wish more people would address that part of it

As a rule, I avoid gynocratic programming regardless of whether it's related to my own particular hood or not. Still ain't seen Girls Trip neither.
I feel so seen. This why I love the coli.
