In a neighborhood, there are many important things. But few establishments are as important in the Black community as our barber shops. A place where we discuss issues of the day, maybe get a bootleg tape, and most importantly get our lineup right. No brotha can say that they haven’t felt the great feeling if hopping out of the chair with a fresh shapeup ready to take on the world. You could say, it makes you feel like a new man. And the MVP of this magical moment are the all important barber’s clippers....
Now as NBA stans, a clipper is a slur. A clipper means failure, means reject, means lowly, never will accomplish anything, trash, phony, fake, p*ssy, capper, and the list goes on. How can we continue to belittle and slander the all important clippers that make sure we lookin sharp just because of a few bad apples? How can we throw smut on the name of such an honorable and steadfast tool? One that will work hard and be there? Not back down to any challenge no matter the naps? A winner?
With this said, I think it’s time to do the right thing and lift this burden from the clutch, all important clippers by designating a new name to the cappin trash franchise that soiled the clipper name. Because if Remington and Oster and Wahl can provide you with a fly edge up, should we not provide the clippers relief from carrying this 50 year burden? Did our fellow brothers and butch sistas at the barber shop spend all these years making sure we was straight just for us to turn their tools of craft into a synonym for the very low dregs of your craft? Make your vote count brehs, what should their new name be?
