Black barbershops being lied on again.

[Rhyme n Tekniq]

The "let me speak MY truth" when they get called out on se bullshyt. Basically saying "let me lie in peace, please"

yup exactly!!


all these glad-handing white liberals "allies" have the same vocabulary and manner of speech

that word "truth" gets abused alot by these ambulance chasers looking for social political clout

their truth is what normal people before the age of spin called an opinion or perspective

people are waking up to the obvious bullshyt with all these LGBT and adjacent movements overplaying their hand and allowing the threads of the agenda to become unraveled.

it was never about equality, or human rights


truth be told alot of this BS is happening because white men want to be white women and vice versa

it's only because white people want to do it that these movements are being legitimized

we gotta start jumping on all the less blatant shyt, that's what leads to someone feeling comfortable putting this weirdo fantasy trash out there.

Are you clowns this antagonistic to crackers that want to keep up confederate monuments and scream black lives don’t matter? Yes this barbershop scene was some bullshyt and black men should be offended but we should be more offended at cacs on the right that fukking hate us and left wing cacs that sully our image by propping up degenerate rappers.

 

[GoAggieGo.]

Y’all are going back and forth with dudes who’s purpose on these boards are to take the opposite position of what they think “the coli” will have.

No sense in going back and forth, and no sense of even going down that rap music rabbit hole with them. There’s numerous threads on the destructive nature of rap music, and many people on this board have taken part in those threads and expressed their disappointment in the genre.

 

[Reptile]

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…

nikka you cant be that dumb.

Is it good? or is it a chick show?

 

[BobbyWojak]

the barbershop IS Mecca, It is the black man's tabernacle, and last remnants of a communal energy; a place where the voice of our elder stands for something. It's well understood you dont come in there with the foolishness because you will quickly get ostracized and told not to come back. It's a safe space for our women too, that goes without saying. aint no women being groped up sexually assaulted /haraased.

The scene is over the top but to be fair I've met some characters when I worked at the desk of a barbershop. I don't know what it is about barbering that attracts both mature, wise men and con artists.

No idea tbh

 

[TEH]

Complete bullshyt


too many elders in thereto let shyt like that fly, and alot of the customers been coming to that barbershop since they was kids so there's a rapport and respect factor that comes automatically not to mention the relationship have with a specific barber.

you'd sooner find degeneracy in these churches before a black barbershop, FOH

far as men convo go

50% sports talk
30% current affairs (whatever is in the news, typically amongst the OGs)
10% Talking about life , dropping gems etc.
10% Back in the day talk

women have their own topics in the barbershop, but none of it is wild vulgar shyt

there might be some tea spilling or side talk about another chick with a fukked up edges or something.

nikkas couldnt come in with the extra saggin pants down to their mid thigh cussing every other word just being ignorant as fukk, you WILL get checked and kicked out

same goes for women, you cant come up in there dressed for a porno shoot or the late shift at a strip club. you will get checked or kicked out

you will respect the presence of elders, women or kids. it's not up for debate

I've been to over 30 barbershops in my life, and never took long for it to feel like home again, because for the most part it's all the same experience.

everybody involved with narrative flipping and meddling of black affairs needs to die the most horrible of deaths.

we dont need some cave monkey and their band of disposable c00ns speaking on us or for us, we can police ourselves

for real they all can die , run head first into a wood chipper, fukkem

Gospel.

I aint never in my life heard no dialogue like that in no black barbershop.. Especially around the women in there.. Who wrote this bullshyt?

 

[Piff Perkins]

Still upset about this. Even the guy mocking the idea of a "safe space" is agenda shyt because overall straight hood black men do NOT even use that phrase. If this was a white dude saying I'd be like ok, incels and right wingers mock "safe spaces" all the time. But young black dudes? They aren't sitting around on Reddit all day learning that shyt.

There's a real problem with black creatives and the content we get. The black male-driven shows are typically power or crime fantasies, generic and feeling like they were pumped out of a factory quickly. Imitating prestige television (The Wire, The Sopranos, etc), rap videos with a bigger budget. Think about the diversity of white male driven shows, compared to black male shows. It's depressing.

On the other hand the art and faux prestige black shows seemingly are all run by black women, and focus on black women. These are also often the shows that commercialize black trauma for white audiences. Insecure is a legit good and well written show from what I've heard but it spawned an army of imitator shows about women trying to make it in the big city, mixed in with black men disappointing them or attacking them. Or the genre shows (sci fi/adventure/horror/etc) where it also seems like someone is thinking of every ugly part of black history to add into a show like a Marvel easter egg. Lovecraft Country is a great example. The connecting factor for a lot of this stuff is this weird, unauthentic vibe from creators whose black experiences seem foreign or abbreviated. Yet this is the stuff white critics and execs fall over themselves to praise. Because this is the content they think or want white audiences to watch...and it never truly seems to work.

The general consensus is that this scene serves to make Black men look bad, if that's the source of the backlash here then why isn't that same concern shown for the Black men that create "art" that makes Black men look like genocidal psychopaths?

But that's NOT the source of the backlash. The source of the backlash is that they're fukking liars. Every other post in here is calling it out. It be kids at the barbershop, moms, sisters getting cuts themselves, elders. nikkas ain't doing all that in there.

It's one thing to propagandize off a kernel of truth. Like comedy, the kernel of truth is what makes it work. Without that kernel, it's not just propaganda, its lazy propaganda. The only reason it might work is bc the ppl to whom it's directed have little to no knowledge of the space. (An example of this application, see: 'blood libel'- the accusation that European Jews of the middle ages used the blood of Christian children in rituals. People legit got killed behind that shyt. It worked bc Christians had no knowledge of Jewish rituals.)

The LGBT community has the power to damage black men, through media and politics, so, low key, this is actually very dangerous. We already got gay wm out here serial killing bm (Dahmer, Buck) and now they're using their media to gin up even more anti bm fervor. What's next?

Are you clowns this agonistic to crackers that want to keep up confederate monuments and scream black lives don’t matter?

Feminists aren't, they write about falling in love with nazis and how they can be redeemed.
Let's not.

it's sad that im no longer excited to see black content on major platforms. i've been let down too many times. most black shows and movies in the 90s were better than this. it's like they found a completely different talent pool to draw from about 10 years ago and no matter how inauthentic, we are expected to like the shyt. i seriously doubt whites are even watching this stuff. the target audience is still black, but it's made with the assumption that most black people are now NuBlacks or twitterblacks.
