Black Men Who Don't Nod Back

[O.T.I.S.]

I nod and hit the "sup bruh" or "what's goin on witcha" in response.

Not rocket science.

I think this is an older black man thing. Probably ends with us millenials.

New nikkas don’t seem to carry that type of skinfolk/ could be kinfolk type of mentality. A lot of older brehs have been like mentors to me to on how to play this game. Old army, Navy, AF or Marine cats. GS’s, etc.

I actually preferred to kick it with older black men anyway. They be doing or did the actual shyt I be interested in. A lot of game to soak up too

What does it mean when a Black WOMAN gives you a headnod? (This actually happened to me before).



I get headnods from Black Men all the time but getting one from a woman, I was so confused I gave her one back but in my head I was like huh??? We was walking past one another on the sidewalk and briefly looked in her direction and she did that

I only get smiles, or good morning/afternoon/evening

We all we got.

I be in Orange County, Bay Area, other countries, etc. and go out of my way.

If a dude doesn’t not back or respond, I just say, "oh, you one of those negroes" and keep moving.

"What's up?"
"How you doing?"
"All right Brother"
"Good Morning/Good Evening Sir, Ma'am" for Elders

Not that hard but you right, lots of house negroes that mean mug and switch into tokens when around non-Blacks....

Messed up...

Can't remember when a bruh didn't nod back. But i never tried nodding to a black guy running with all cacs. That might play out different.

Whats crazy is the gang infested cities black folks bang on each other instead of nodding. Straight clown shyt

 

[SNYC]

One thing I learned being on this site, it’s a bunch of fake militants on here.

This isn’t real life, nobody is actively looking down on another person for not fukking head nodding lmaoo.

I live in NYC, people are focused on running to where they got to go to, you think they trying to look in your eyes for confirmation of togetherness? They gonna ask what the fukk you looking at lmao.

On top of that, there’s so many different people with their own shyt going on, there’s introverts, folks that are socially awkward, etc.

I go out of my way to head nod but trust me it’s not as deep as this thread is making it. Folks can’t think outside of their own selfish perspective and end up creating some bullshyt out of thin air about the very people they supposed to be locked in with. You ever think maybe there’s black people who don’t know about the head nod & just be in their own bubble?

Draining, negative motherfukkers…..who would even want to be around y’all? “If they don’t nod back they not black” and people agreed with that dumb shyt.

I'm from the same city, and we still do it.

Just say you're anti-social and keep it moving

If I said “I go out of my way to head nod” how the fukk does that equal to anti social

 

[onlylno]

Clown ass shyt.

Head nod is not regional



You sonned't the nikka breh.
Of course he was not gonna be a great sport.

Hey django,...
Ain't nobody.
gon be cool with that.
Disrespectful level of verbal intrepidation at intro.

I can see that POV


I wasn’t even saying it to be a dikk fr. I was legitimately complimenting a fit I’ve never seen someone wear casually before.

I’m in one of the most white isolated elitist parts of the country….ain’t no farms out there fr fr.

He should have reciprocated the nod with at least a giddy-up and kept it moving.

if your self-esteem hinges on the validation of another man, you are not in the position to call the other "self- hating" when he doesn't flatter "your" self-esteem in the way that you desire. he doesn't hate himself for not flattering you. you're just emotionally needy.

if i head nod and there's no reciprocation, it's "this man has no social graces or manners", "uncouth" not "they hate themselves". that is your own insecurities you're projecting because of feelings of rejection.

Still haven't seen the movie.

One of my favorite gifs.
