Only Old Heads Give Head Nods Nowadays?

[™BlackPearl The Empress™]

I hope the dudes in here that are too good to acknowledge their fellow BM don't have nothing to say about getting swerved when they try to hit on random women in public

This just happened. Dominican shorty with a fat ass passed by me and a youngin we both looked back at that ass then looked at each other and gave each other the head nod.

ActuallyI was trying to avoid making that correlation. Since yall can do it and nobody trips, I expect the same courtesy.

Fair is fairIve ignored women too.

Why is it that only old heads give head nods? When walking past a brother on campus, I nod my head at dude around my age (21) and they ignore me.

Not many brothers at my college, so we should be acknowledging and looking out for each other.

Same shyt in a locker room. A old head gon say wasup to me, a youngin' gon straight ignore me.

Maybe the nikkas at my school are just whack.

They have no home training

 

[Stacker Pentecost]

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.

I especially acknowledge other Black ppl in school/work/all white environments.

 

[Yehuda]

Not sure about that. Plenty of kids give me the head nod.

 

[Stacker Pentecost]

Look, breh. If we have a PURPOSE im all ears. I don't head nod, "whatsup" and all that shyt to someone on the street.

You know what I noticed years ago? Most people:

"Whatsup?"

"Nothing, man, you?"

"Nothing."

Ain't really say shyt. If I bother to ask someone about their day, its cause I care, and im not trying to pretend I care about people...just because they are there.

If we talking business or something, or fukk, if you think my shoes are dope, absolutely lets talk. But when im walking the streets or whatever, I'm thinking about shyt

and lets be real, if you ain't a chick, I probably don't care to talk to youAnd even ladies don't break my stride like that.


I spoke to an old-head a couple weeks ago on the bus for 35 minutes why? He asked where I came from. He had a purpose, and he was dope.

Had he just been on some "Whatsup, young blood?" I would have responded, probably rapped with him for a second, and went back to me.

When you can offer me something, be it entertainment or money, we can talk. I won't be rude, but please, don't street harass me

So just exchanging pleasantries ain't shyt in 2016? Damn.

This is da truth, breh. I'm 32 and live in NYC. The new generation of blacks coming up will look at you crazy or in shock if u give them "the nod" or even say "peace" or "good morning". The Nod is a way we acknowledge and show respect to the brothers. I was taught to use the nod, say "good morning", "peace" to my fellow people. It's also just common courtesy that a lot of people just don't have anymore. It goes back to self hate and crabs in a barrel. That type of thinking needs to go away. Yo the little things like the nod, can have an huge impact. Social media has muthafukkaz more anti-social and introverted than ever.

THIS! Can't tell you how many people(girls especially) when I was in college who eyeballs stayed glue to they fukking phones. And this was just 9:30 in the morning. WTF you motherfukkers got going on that so damn important that you can't unglue your eyeballs from your phone. And don't try to approach one of them during the DAY, they will give you the and then proceed to look back at their fukking phone

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

I'm a brehette and I head nod, smile, SOMETHING

 

[Stacker Pentecost]

The only strangers I get nod's from are fellow dreadhead's.

A Head nod is a chill way of saying "whats up" You don't even got to say a word.

I ALWAYS headnod fellow dreadheads

 

[Stacker Pentecost]

That it kinda sad for those that don't get it...times are changing and people are getting more weird and awkward by the minute...it's really just a quick moment to acknowledge someone's presence, especially the head nod for people of color..and I'm maaad introverted...

I'm only 28 but usually always give the head nod to black men when they stare at me and make eye contact, not on some flirtatious stuff but just to say hello since they're watching lol But some women can be difficult...unless it's a compliment some aren't with it..

I think that's something that is learned tho, through parents or work (say a job in customer service). Just plain ol common courtesy really

I agree. It literally takes nothing to head nod or acknowledge another person. People act like it will kill them to be pleasant and show some common courtesy to others.

 

[Stacker Pentecost]

I nod my head daily to as many brothers as possible...That shyt is ingrained into me...My pops would slap the shyt out of the back of my head if I built up the courage to walk with him and ignore an elder or another brother...Jits don't really care for it too much but I don't give a fukk, they gon get one head nod...If I see em again, I keep it moving... You never know what another brother went through that day and he prolly don't know your situation...I show love you and acknowledgement and get it back that's strength gained on both sides.

This all depends in context. If you go to a white college, of course you head nod. When the shyt goes down, the black folks need to band together. If you moved to somewhere like Harlem, it just didn't make sense because there are so many of us there. I still do it if I make eye contact though, regardless of where I am.
