Brehs gonna be 45 and still trying to look like this:



and this nikka almost 40.

y’all really don’t see how this might make you look crazy in the presence of well dressed men?

But why are we putting him on the summer jam screen? White people dress in the stupidest fukking unmatching tacky shyt and don’t get this scrutiny. The thuggiest people in the country wear business suits but why is there no stigma for business suits? The WHITE people that literally plunged the economy and had it on life support wore suits every day with the finest cuff links, ate at the finest steak houses, and drank the finest wines WHY ARE THEY STIGMATIZED?

The people that passed the crime bill that locked us up wore suits. The people that pumped crack cocaine into our neighborhoods to fund covert wars in Nicaragua wore suits. The people that send 18 year olds to war to still resources from Africa WEAR SUITS!!!! If anything, yall nikkas should be running away from suits cuz that’s the thug attire of the what 400 -500 years?

What do you assume a black man in a suit in NYC in 2021 is doing then? Most people successful or not just wear casual clothes from my experience. Department store, high end security and doormen are required to wear suits so that’s what I assume.

Going to work in buildings I see them in while I'm inside said building. You live in a solpisim where your experience is the only one that exists?

Being a black man.

So a black man in a suit is just being a black man? Can’t we do that wearing what we want?

Why don’t we go back to the 40s, 50s, 60s where everyone wore suits and still was getting beat, abused and murdered by police. Changing into a suit doesn’t change anything. Change from inside with your mindset.

The whole point is to be taken seriously.

I disagree, people will treat you differently based on how much value you bring to their lives. If you are a pretender then your image is all you got.

I disagree because what you’re speaking on is afterwards.


If you walk around with your pants sagging down your ass you’ll miss a lot of opportunities to bring value to someone life.


I’ve been to real estate networking events where dudes who walked in looking like they were from the block got no call backs or feedback from anyone in the room.

Yes. Normalize that shyt and grow the fukk up. 40 year old clowns dressing like Westside Gunn doesn’t do shyt for the community.

My assumption is that we are taking what we are doing seriously so sagging pants at an interview is not a serious person

You think a black in a suit does something for the community?

 

[Deuterion]

No, he said to dress like an adult MAN who handles BUSINESS. You putting extras on it.

I could slay fashionova. Get me some mermaid hair, batwing lashes, and be. doing. that. shyt. But im a grown damn woman.

When do bm reach that point?

So are you saying that all Black men dress to the male equivalent of insta-thot culture? Is that a fact or is based off media? In addition, are Black men the only demographic that doesn’t meet this standard of dress? I see Indians and East Asians who dress like absolute dog shyt but they be VPs and C-Levels of huge companies...so why do they get a pass and we don’t?

Thread is nonsense.

I'm the only black man that I know who's okay dressing like shyt.

If you need to wear a suit to be taken seriously that sounds like a personal issue

I have no clue. Because apparently if we wear a suit we’re catering to white sensibilities

The most ridiculous shyt ever heard. But If I dress like Westgunn the streets will love me, I’ll have repeck & my ppl know I keep it real.

Ive come to the conclusion that a lot of “brehs” on here are scared to grow up and scared to leave their comfort zone. Like why are there men on here twice my age saying dressing like this is acceptable? Ppl complaint about bills being passed and fair treatment, but they still don’t get it.

I’ve heard the notion of men / even black men “giving up” at certain age; but I didn’t think it was true, until reading this BS.

Are their communities in anarchy, suffering from a clear lack of order, discipline, and strong male leadership?
