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

I dont see anything wrong with getting line ups... in actuality if your line up is WAY TOO perfect and you look a certain way itll make u look :wrist:

There's more expected out of black men. I've seen dudes of other races dressed like complete shyt with a good looking woman, but let a black man dress like that

That's the truth. We gotta be swagged out, life of the party types on top of the sharp mouthpiece, Gucci'd down to the socks, and drive a nice whip :smh:

I think it's similar to why black women go to the hair salon. Part of it is conditioned in us like some you aren't good enough unless.... And part of it is vanity. Slightly a little culture if you actually frequent black hair salons and barbershops.

And the simple answer, some men just like nice shape ups....



Does anybody know what the shape up game is like in africa? I wonder how far this can actually be traced back.

Whaaaa. We have 100 page threads clowning on Bron and Boozer for their hairline problems and you think it's whites that are the issue here? Blacks make other blacks insecure about that shyt. I still remember not having a fresh line in HS was asking all the wolves to come out and chop like no tomorrow. In the corporate world, you just have to look clean and good. How sharp your edge up isn't a big of a deal to these 50 year old corporate managers.



Looking "clean and good" includes getting a shape up though, right? For black men that is. I'm not denying that other black people ridicule black men, though. That's one of the first points I made. It does seem to be getting certain posters in their feelings that I wouldn't leave it at that, though.

One of the worst threads of 2015 :upsetfavre:




1. Nas is not the reason why people were getting shaped up, look at my avi, that was tyson in the late 80s shaped up. Way before nasher showed up.


2. Black people get shape ups because we like it, its our thing. It has nothing to do with white people expecting it from us lol

3. Shape ups do not lead to baldness.



Where do you think they originated from?
