Queer People Are Changing the Toxic Culture of Barber Shops- Jamilah King

[Cat piss martini]

My son's barber is a gay woman(aka stud). She does a great job cutting his hair, and he's comfortable talking to her. She has her own shop, so it's great for me. Listen, I changed barbers for my son, so often, in the last year that it was getting ridiculous. He's had at least 6 different barbers. Why did I change barbers so often? They kept trying to get with me. And on top of that, it was uncomfortable being there for me(especially friday evenings when a lot of men were there waiting to get their hair cut), because the men would act funny, if they weren't flirting, making inappropriate comments or staring all up in my face, it was the fact that it felt like a man zone, period. It was just an awkward experience. I loved when his dad took him to get his hair cut, or when my dad would take him to get his hair cut, because I used to HATE taking him. Matter of fact back in Philly, for two years my dad or my son's dad would take him to the barbershop because of all the experiences I was having with men trying to get with me, and how anxious it was making me having to take him.

In any case, the thing I like about his "stud" barber is that she's a woman. LOL. Up until the last time I went, she didn't try to get with me too. But, I'm not gonna lie, the last time I brought my son to her, she made a comment that made me uncomfortable, so we'll see. But I hate to say it, this is one area(barbershops) where I don't mind gay women owning their shops. As a single woman it doesn't feel as uncomfortable going to a gay woman for my son's cut, than it is going to a male barbershop.

Be upset men (and a stud) aren't repulsed by you, single mom brehettes...

Expose your impressionable, developing son with already limited male role modelship to LGBT tomfoolery for your comfort, single mom brehettes...

Imagine a black person going up into a Spanish speaking barbershop aimed at a Hispanic experience, then going home and writing an article talking about "they didn't make me feel comfortable, they spoke Spanish and they had their own inside jokes...they need to change for me".

Why was this even written? Why do people need to know what's going on inside of barber shops? Why is there this incessant need to infiltrate the culture?

 

[Neuromancer]

Stop posting this garbage. This shyt is annoying.

That's why it's called Da Genda.

I can't keep up. I have a whole thread I was trying to keep going or hoping other folks would help kerep alive, but it's to much work to try and keep going on regular.

I just heard on some radio show that in some country or state... I forgot.....but they are proposing legislation that would take the kid away from their parents if it is believed the kid wants to transition.

Yes. You read that correctly. They are taking about parents being anti-transition or slow to react as the equivalent to child abuse...and CPS can grab and go.

Imagine being a grown ass man who is too afraid to tell the barber "Yo I was next"

Imagine being a grown ass man being fucced by another man. This new generation is hella gay

 

[FeverPitch2]

You remember that news story about the gay breh that walked into a barbershop and everybody in there beat the shyt out him just for being gay?

Yeah, me either.


They keep trying to push this fake narrative that there's this epidemic of brutal violence against the gays and that at any given moment some moister is in grave danger of being murdered by a mob of straight Black men foaming at the mouth looking for twinks to kill.

Queer folks are changing the toxic atmosphere in barbershops??? Dat Agenda man!!!

Gay nikkas have always been in the barbershop () and they always just crack jokes or talk to the girls in the back. This dude just got passed because he was a lame.

" Camera Ready Kutz is not your typical Black barbershop. And that’s the point."

"“No matter how good the cut was, I’d be in the bathroom crying afterward because it was so uncomfortable,” she says. That discomfort underscored the essential function of barbershops in the first place." :

these be the SAME types on twitter all day talmbout "masculinity so fragile"


all these people are hypocrites in the worst way, a crucial part of their identity is outrage culture and complaining about shyt. when there's nothing to complain about they take something relatively benign like the barber shop and project all their bullshyt they learned from academia and tumblr and then voila, a thinkpiece that's bound to get attention because it's shytting on Black men.

they would blame global warming on Black men if they could, if they haven't already

 

[Da King]

No they aint. Them nikkas getting clowned soon as they leave
