Remember when black men would head nod each other when passing in public areas

Okay, Tyrone

I'm just being cultural sensitive by chopping it up with you in your native tongue boriquo what's your deal primo?

 

[MasterThought]

the common theme is gen Z done fukked up the game. Millennials were the last moral generation. These gen z kids just don't give a fukk about being on code and the importance of any semblance of unity. they listen to drill and instantly believe any and every BM is their opp.


Gen Z brehs are just dumb as rocks for the most part (by design). Millennials, boomers etc were able to distinguish music from real life but gen z are just in too deep

Bingo.

We have literally been conditioned to view each other as the enemy aka the "opp" as time goes on.

Black men by default view other black men as threats mainly because we see so much negative imagery of each other. Our guards go up around each other instead of seeing each other as "brothers".

An entire generation of black boys have grown up on drill rap and add hostile environments like the hood and you get a certain segment of brothers who know nothing about viewing another black man that he doesn't know as a "brother"

Still going on around here. Mainly after making eye contact. Interacting with the general public is becoming less of a thing over time tho so it is what it is if that's what it's gone be

 

[Family Man]

Most nikkas are just trying to avoid any kind of contact or interaction with each other because you never know what type of time the next man is on. I used to give head nods or some acknowledgement but not so much anymore. I especially don’t fukk with any random nikka that look like he was born after 1990. Most of the black men that I deal with randomly are either in the pick up line for their kids at school. They‘re family men like me.

 

[Shadow King]

I'm not doing that for everybody.

 

[Who Not How]

I used to do it until I went bald.

 

[SPACE IS FAKE]

i don’t do it but i might return one depending on my mood

 

[Greenhornet]

I head nod all day

depending though like you said... at gas stations and shyt im getting my shyt and leaving fukk everyone

 

[egsteel]

Depends on the city.

Phoenix....

Charlotte....

Yea, are the posters claiming not to get acknowledgement living outside of the south? I've never crossed another brother who didn't head nod back. Honestly in the south, all men nod.

 

[The Wall Is Undefeated!]

I only head nod people I know.

 

[ba'al]

I tend to look people in the eyes as I approach so it usually leads to some form of communication if only to verify everything is cool

Approaching nikkas on some

 

[WaveWhisperer]

Since i dont live by many brehs n brehettes i make it a point to greet them when i do see them

 

[Ziploc]

I still do if the energy is right.
