Do yall still HEADNOD OTHER MEN?

[Spiritual Stratocaster]

So my pops who grew up in the Bronx back in the 70s/80s said in certain instances you gotta headnod.

He said at the infamous club TUNNEL in NYC that if you walked in and didn't make eye contact then you would be seen as scary and the wolves would try to get at you.

Me I like to mind my own but I believe he is right in that certain instances you gotta make eye contact or brehs would see you as scary.

You ever headnod some breh and he spits on the ground afterwards?

Passive aggressive way of showing their hate for you ...you get around and they start spitting and shyt.

I asked this because only the OGs seem to headnod or care about acknowledgment these days..and that thread where that dude walked between a Man and a Woman...probably could've been avoided if he made contact with those group of dudes before they approached.

I always head nod.

Often, we as black men are often a little apprehensive about acknowledging each other.

So I always make the effort.

No need for mean-mugging or screwfaces

I always acknowledge my brothers when out in public.

Of course but I'm older. Headnodding seems to be a dying trend amongst the younger generation (gen-z).

 

[TheGooniestGoon]

if a mf is staring at me I usually head nod to see if everything is cool. But young nikkas my age ain’t head nodding each other. At least in dc only older dudes head nodding

I agree that on the ground after acknowledging the person is there is def passive aggressive. When it comes to the head nod, Black men do this to sort out “who ah who” or friend or foe.

I'm known for the head nod. Positive vibes only

 

[The_Sheff]

I only head nod other black men. Everyone else I just keep it moving.

It's funny because that's the default face that some of us are born with. I remember my nephew being born looking like he was in mid krump about 75% of the time and you know he aint trying to make that face he was a damn baby.
