Only Old Heads Give Head Nods Nowadays?

[At30wecashout]

you don't get it. acknowledgment is just decency. the what up? what up? reply is just acknowledgement

If I have my headphones off, ill reply, but you can bet your ass our eyes didnt meet, so you did it in spite of me not looking at you. Ok, fine, you wanna unilaterally break my vow of silence.

Since i usually wear headphones though? Good luck. Im here to listen to DOOM and get to where I am going.

Introvert alert

I am, but when I want to, im the friendliest mothafukka. However, just cause im here, that dont mean im obligated to say anything, especially if I didnt give body language that said I would. Keep stepping.

If someone has a problem with me not talking to them, that is their issue, not mine, unless you have something more to do than say "hi".

I take that shyt personal and I know I shouldn't. Negroes are scared and suspicious of each other and we just don't know how to accept friendly gestures from one another.

yea thats true. We taught to view each other as enemies when it should be the opposite.

I head nod anybody I pass outta respect

But I'm white so I only shake hands and call other gentlemen sir and ma'am even if they my own age

 

[Sonic Boom of the South]

i dont see nobody doing that anymore

I head nod all brehs and brehettes too

 

[BaldingSoHard]

I'm not giving the nod back to some random nikka I don't even know on the street lol wtf.

You family? You a friend? Do you at least have a reason to speak to me? Nah?

Excuse me as I stay looking ahead, with my headphones on.

Damn brehs. As an old head, this legit upsets me .

This is one of the things that was lost after my generation. "The nod" used to be ubiquitous, but now young cats (I'm assuming you both are young, forgive me if I'm wrong) they just don't get it.

Brehs the whole point of the nod is that you don't know the person, but it's a moment of solidarity in acknowledgement of shared experiences; that's why you sure AS fukk don't give the nod to white people. That brother... even if you don't know him... that's your kin.

I remember being a kid and not understanding. All I remember is my dad told me, "When you see a fellow brother, you acknowledge him." I remember asking, "Why dad?" and the answer is, "It's just what we do."

Give the nod, brehs. It's what we do.

There was an episode of Blackish about it...

If I see a nod, I nod back. I rarely initiate, cause that requires eye contact,and I'm not looking into folks eyes like that. No, im not intimidated. I'm just not interested.

My thing is if folks are trying to nod or give a shout, most often they are doing so to a person, me, who clearly ain't in the mood for socializing.

Again, I do respond, but I would rather not most times. I don't know this person. They are not my enemy, they simply don't matter to me so...they shouldn't be hurt if im

walking by and staring into the distance.

Breh it takes 0.3 seconds and costs nothing. Nobody is saying you have to chop it up with a stranger, but shyt just acknowledge a brother. That means initiating too.

Think about it... when you spot a brother across the room, it takes MORE effort to avoid eye contact than it does to give the nod, and then he knows you're intentionally avoiding him cause he knows about the nod. If he's a coli poster, he's probably mentally labeled you as a c00n. You don't wanna be that dude.

Give the nod, brehs.

we good we good

 

[Luck]

I don't know, maybe it's y'all weird antisocial awkward generation

To this day it's always at least a head nod, dap or something when I see brothers a work, the gym or anywhere else. Whether I know em or not

A new black breh walks in the job or the gym and we choppin it up we might not speak ever again like that after but it's always a greeting or somethin
