Black barbershops being lied on again.

[Gold]

I know yall nikkas aint on a forum with a whole hiphop/rap section and y’all crying about this

This is the least of the black man’s image problems…

The point is that its not realistic

 

[Responsible Allen Iverson]

I knew before I clicked the thread that this was going to be about gay people making up barbershop stories again. Twitter Blue Checks were trying to do this a couple of years ago.

 

[African Peasant]

Dudes talking about safe space in a barber shop?

Is that a black barber shop or a reeddit thread?

It’s a tv show not real life.

It's a REPRESENTATION of real life. That's what a TV show is.

The only consolation to take from this is that we can change the narrative.

Intersectional negroes in education and the media are dependent on white benefactors. It won't take much to get them out of the paint and that fuels part of their resentment to black men they find toxic. They know we easily influence culture and get people to follow us. Meanwhile, their jobs in these cultural production spheres are precarious at best.

The barbershop is a big deal to these folks because they see it as a space of cultural production they have no influence over. A regular black man without much capital or higher education can make a living while creating a space for other black men to *legally* circulate money in the community--and chop it up at the same time. This scene is what they imagine unfettered "toxic" black men to be like, being crass and moving around with no decorum whatsoever.

All the times I used to go to the barbershops. The discussions were 99% sports and music,movies.

 

[Secure Da Bag]

Here's the show's creator, she's as 'black' as our 'first black president'

She gotta African pops and white mom?

 

[Secure Da Bag]

No.

Doubt the showrunners (dudes that decide the basis of each episodes and where the stories are going to go) and script writers are black.

That be like finding out some white guy was behind rap music like "we want you to rap about drugs, shootings, gangs. Clothes, hoes, oh an promote these brands on this album, Matt is going to bring in a couple songs, we have nikkas get smoked, Smoke til I die, and Homicide Life, just read these lyrics!"

But that happens all the time.

Sellout black folks stay running to Hollywood to give them the “inside look” into a community they never felt really apart of in the first place….that’s why these examples of “blackness” always fail…. Because you end up getting their warped “ex-bullied” (possibly) mentality or fearful mentality of the community that then ends up on the silver screen not representing the true side of us but their warped negative view of us………



in short, Hollywood green lights any black writer or director that can confidently say they are from the black community and basically hated it…. these are the ones Hollywood will allow to project a (false) image of us….. and it’s been goin on this way, Lee daniels, Tyler Perry, Terry McMillan etc etc…..

Intersectional negroes in education and the media are dependent on white benefactors. It won't take much to get them out of the paint and that's also part of their resentment to everyday black men they find toxic. They know we easily influence culture and get people to follow us.

Yup

the same reason they shut down hip hop with a message

 

[Da King]

Not a single grown man over 21 speaks like this. FOH with this garbage

it’s how demic00ns think black men talk

 

[Sensitive Christian Grey]

Moms sister’s sons nephew

But still, very contrived

Yea I’ve literally never heard that phrase used outside the internet. I bet in the next scene they had brehs talking about sjw’s and shyt

 

[Ribbs]

Why would a barber even carry on like that if they expect to keep clientele?

I actually wanted to watch this show but if they exaggerated Tyler Perry nonsense like this going on, I'll pass.

 

[UncleTomFord15]

and you had people on here saying they were going to watch this show in a thread a few days ago.
