how come black men are the only ones who HAVE to have sharp shape ups?

[NSSVO]

Aint had any type of shape up in 3+ years

Saw my boy Thierry Henry doing without years back and I thought yes, i'm ravishing enough to get away with this.

Please dont try this stunt at home folks, could result in a devastating lack of pussay

nikka that's Europe.

are you giving me celebs nikka??


just go outside in the city... look at the black men dressed in business attire... do they all have perfect shapeups? you do know you can have a clean cut, fresh cut, with no edge up right??

that's what i keep trying to convey to you... black people care more about that hairline shyt than any other race.... cause of what other blacks will know and say


look at this link... all i did was google "black businessmen"


http://www.businessinsurance.org/10-most-successful-african-american-ceos-of-all-time/


90% of the black men have no sort of shape up... check the google images... it's usually the young ones... them old dudes don't give no fukks


my quotes make perfect sense.... you can sit in a chair and say give me a cut... and rock your natural hairline and still look right

but come in that bytch with a freeway beard or a perfect afro, and they will look at that WAY worse than a perfect cut, minus an edge up... mind you you're talking to someone who does interviews and has many lessons on what to look for.... clean and kept is the way to go... not edge up with a razor

i'm not saying it isn't a PLUS... but no white people are paying attention to your hair line... sorry

They are business men...I think you are trolling so I'll just make this short. The link you provided has men with shape ups. The ones that don't are bald/balding. People with certain statuses have different rules. They are not the majority. Caucasians care or you wouldn't have to do it.

we gonna have to agree to disagree.. i put it on everything, i'm not trolling at all

some men have a just perfectly fine natural hairline... they not getting the ruler broke out and the black pen, to get the perfect edge up... and that's still considered professional

nobody is going to see you walk in, in your suit, nice fresh haircut, smelling good, talking good, credentials... and say "yea but that nikka didn't have a shape up tho" especially not some 40-50-60 year old white man... sorry


now who would say something is that chick at the bar... your nikka from down the block... and maybe a black business owner


again... it's not that you're totally wrong... two twins, one having a shape up, and the other not... well we know which looks better


all i'm saying is the original statement, you HAVE to have a sharp shape up cause old white men won't give you a job... even tho your hair was cut 2 hours ago..... NO.... that's not the case... you probably fukked up somewhere else

1. ceasar with shape up
2. ceasar


















3. having facial hair
4. having a shytload of facial hair
5. having a fukked up hair cut/braids/dreads/anything not a ceasar


no beef... we just don't agree

No beef but you gave a link while asking, "are these celebs?" but the link has jay z and diddy in it. Troll stuff. I don't quite get why you are gunning so hard to protect the image of these caucasian employers on any level, when it's evident this is their system and their rules. Obviously those who have a naturally straight hairline don't need a straight hairline.

 

[JordanwiththeWiz]

I hope yall joking about getting a shape-up leading to receding hairline/baldness

Yeah these nikkas don't know shyt typical coli talk with a bunch of talk out of their ass and a bunch of cacs exposing their self

A haircut won't do nothing to your hairline it's all in your genes whatever DNA make up with your parent

If your dad and male from mother side don't have it nine times out of ten you won't

Oh you think these broads didnt see the Nas CD?

But yes, the shape up standards are lower outside the US. I deliberately left out that disclaimer

no i mean the 4 you posted... and i siad 90% don't have shape ups... only the celebs... then i told you to google image it AND look around your city at real black businessmen

i'm not gunning for anything.... i'm trying to tell my black brothers, stop concerning yourself with how the white man is gonna view your shapeup... he knows nothing of black culture, nor your shape up... as long as you look clean up and not dangerous you'll get a job


shave your damn facial hair and get a ceasar... you will get WAY more jobs than you coming in looking like james harden with a fresh shapeup

The black employed men where I live have shape ups. The higher ups have the sharpest ones, unless they are bald.

So we should just ignore how they view us? I disagree. There is no reason a black man needs to do so much excess to be a "safe" negro, and that shouldn't even be the goal. IMO of course.

 

[ben anderson]

I see nikkas still don't understand how genetics work.. My brother and father get shape ups every week and have Paul George hairlines. My brother had braids for like 15 years. Imy hairline is decent but isn't as A1 as theres. Getting shape ups won't make you go bald or whatever stupidness people keep saying in this thread. If baldness or hairline loss runs in your family it may effect you plain and simple.

Whites can't tell when black men have haircuts

I agree, but the better way to phrase it is...whites can't tell when we "need" a haircut.

Unless we rocking a whole afro or some shyt...

it's funny me and my fam had this same discussion when i went to get my current job.... fresh from the barber, shape up

stepdad: so you gonna shave that goatee or nah

me: nah why would i do that... it's clean and short


stepdad: you ever walk around corporate meetings with the bosses at a company? you notice how many don't have any facial hair.. majority right? why you think i shave every time i go for one, then grow it back out when i get the job


mom: you ain't gotta do that shyt... don't conform for them white people!! i don't change my braids when i go for jobs


stepdad: yea and who's making all the money around here and steady climbing the corporate latter


me: i'm just gonna go shave




got the job.. but it was a real ass convo... conform for the white man to sneak in his circle or be yourself and possibly jeopardize your pockets when he ain't feeling your corporate look


but i am near dc... these white folks here be on that political shyt... another thing pops said.... you ever see a recent president with facial hair? clean cut rates better with that type of crowd



did i sell out brehs i got it all back now.. shyt i rock an afro and NO shape/beard right now like fukk it now, you already paying me

 

[darealvelle]

I wear a suit and tie everyday so i got to stay with a fresh line up and beard or them white folks gonna look at me like

I fukking live here. And the Africans out here do things different when it comes to hairlines. BUT...! I do think having a fresh hairline is one of things a brother needs in his life

This is her real hair line btw..EDIT: apparently this is a make up trick. My mistake.

Shape ups = hygiene in the black community.

Other race dont care about their hygiene enough to cater to every aspect of their body....including hairline
