Kevin Samuels Discussion Thread

[Wildhundreds]

This thread is the very problem Kevin was talking about. I made sure to actually watch the video before commenting, did you, OP? Just being a part of the problem...tearing the image of another black man down. @ViShawn IF you are a black man, and that's a HUGE IF, you should be incredibly ashamed of yourself of the dishonest thread title alone.

People don't understand that the mindset precedes the clothing, and not reverse..

Just like the thread on here about people using Klarna to pay for exotic trips.. The trip is the fruits of hard work and sacrifice.. Once I step off the plane coming back home, Im done paying for that shyt.. If I can't afford to go, then I just don't go.. That vacation is only a week, that debt can be years.. Whats the risk/rewards ratio here?

Same with dressing a certain way.. If a certain establishment says they have a dress code, it's because they know certain attire attract a certain mindset.. That certain mindset usually comes with problems.. Problems like the brother who owns the Dallas restaurant, with the twerking customers, didn't like..

Restaurant owners don't have time to screen every single customer that comes into their establishment.. All they know is a certain attire brings a certain crowd of people with a mindset.. This knowledge is gathered over years of observations from restaurant owners.. Well dressed people usually carry themselves in a more favorable manner.. And its not racist because black restaurant owners are doing this as well..

So what these people need to do is grow the up, and realize every setting isn't for them.. If you can't abide by the dress code, then leave.. Fck your money, take that shyt someplace else. If they were confident in who they are they wouldn't care.. But being that people have a hard time handling rejection, we have this friction in understanding..

I get where you're coming from because the video was much, much deeper than clothing and image based on what you wear.

But I don't think OP purposely misled anyone. He's been in here discussing the clothing aspect for pages so I think he legit wanted that discussion and ignored 95% of the video. It seems odd given what the video is about and makes it seem like he didn't watch it, but I don't think he was trying to dapfish or do anything malicious.

I listened to the whole video man. The initial discussion got sidetracked. I also wasn't trying to be malicious. I post in The Coli GQ thread quite often. Personal style is something I enjoy and I think it's beautiful when a person dresses in a congruent fashion as to who they are.

i agree with that,but is that the clothes fault?

"Clothes don't make the man" is a very famous quote for a reason.

Clothes also give a view into a person's mindset. Whether people like it or not.

 

[Scott Larock]

I don't agree with a lot of stuff Kevin Samuel's say, but this I do agree with. I've been noticing lately a lot of black men old enough to be my father dressing like teenagers.

That's not because they don't care about their image, moreso because they're still seeking something...

This ain't TV bro, not every nikka is at the same stage in life by the same age, some people trying to catch up.

nikkas dress like that to get attention, can''t put age on that.

 

[Scott Larock]

This is why I don't fukk with these youtube nikkas, you got dudes like KS will take White America talking points and social standards and apply it to black folks from broken homes with a lack of guidance.. it's really some clown shyt but it pays his bills and he lives well. I'd rather listen to Crispy, as much of a c00n he is he's a honest c00n and dressed in a t-shirt and jeans and admits that at 45 he still loves new p*ssy.

KS appeals to where people want to be in live that's why he blew up, he's on some fantasy shyt that people wish they could live...

Deep down it's really just a separation of class, which is the reason i don't fukk with these YouTube cats....

I've been at parties where rich nikkas come in there and everyone runs to them and they openly disrespect regular everyday brothers...

Auditioning for a seat at the table, nothing more, nothing less.

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?

I don’t know why you bringing up white people cause I didn’t. In fact I pointed out how older black people will be the first ones to talk shyt. Like our parents and grandparents directly talked shyt to us. Yet 20-30 years later, we still dressing the same and thinking someone gonna take it seriously. They won’t. And it ain’t just white people.

‘My grandpa was born in the 30’s in mississippi, didn’t wear any of that shyt that dude got on and still wasn’t taken seriously. He had to move to California to get a job because no one would hire him in MS. Hint he didn’t dress like the dude in your post.

 

[The Devil's Advocate]

Whats wrong with a button up,jeans and timbs? Everything lol. That shyt was laughable,that style was for nikkas who were struggling to make the transition from the streets to the fame.

Thats a perfect example right there,dudes were dressing like that believing they were on their grown man shyt. While the majority weren't doing any grown man work behind it. Point being black men don't need to worry about some mass image makeover. Black men need a mass THINKING makeover,a complete reprogramming of the way we were brainwashed to think by the European. I don't think black men wear things that demean our image as men in the first place. Now our women?thats a completely different story.

Does dressing young often symbolize someone has an immature way of thinking? Yes I do agree with that.
But dressing grown doesn't change the mindset. Focus on whats important which is changing the mindset,then more than likely you would see an indifference about appearance. People who are actually working on things they are passionate about, don't have time to focus on fashion choices.

Well first off I didn’t say timbs. I said jeans and a button up. Since when in history has that been a bad fit? Maybe if you got 3 sizes too big. But my point was, there was a time when everyone did see dressing up wasn’t some horrible thing that meant conforming to white people.

We don’t need to keep rocking the hood uniform of sneaks, baggy jeans low and too big of a tee. Not 355 days a year at every event. No you don’t need a three piece suit.

have some balance in your wardrobe though. It’s an age thing. People are 40-50 years old with the same exact dress style as freshman year. That’s not odd to y’all? Going to the family reunion and dressed up in the same fit as your little cousins?

Ok can we stop with this? I didn’t say it’s the answer to getting a job or respect. I said you won’t be taken seriously the other way. It’s not 1930. It’s 2021. And grown ass men over 35 are rocking kids clothes for college students. Same shyt I had to beg my mom to let me rock cause she said it looked stupid, is the same clothes negros older than me are rocking out to eat at nice restaurants.

nah

 

[Mr. Jack Napier]

Yet the person in your avi is wearing a suit lol

My avi is a picture of the late, great Kobe Bryant & future Hall of Famer Carmelo Anthony at the Espys, try again...

 

[TEH]

Nope because I already know how to do that. He doesn't speak for everyone. Maybe for some of you on here .

Ignorant response

Lacking perspective

Kevin Samuels isn’t speaking for anyone genius

this is a Coli discussion

 

[SuperNintendo Chalmers]

What in the fukk is this thread?

 

[UberEatsDriver]

Y'all are doing it for white folks

You think nikkas look at that IG and feel pride?

I don't lol

You a clown for thinking black buying tailored suits in mass will do something for our community

Can most black men even afford them clothes u white dikk suckers think is appropriate?

You a clown and that ig is clown shyt trying to exploited black people so he can sell his gay suits

Really spreading a lie that Chelsea boots and a tie will magically change black life in America lol it's laughable

Nah lol

 

[EndDomination]

Kevin Samuels saying the most regular nikka shyt and it somehow devolving into a 30 page thread on the Coli never ceases to amaze me
