The fact that a bunch of black men in this thread can't see this as the next step is crazy

These c00ns would think they’re only talking about “hood” black dudes and would support it like fools not understanding cacs see us all the same.

Texas bar owner raises eyebrows with call for ‘no Edgar’ policy after fatal Fiesta shooting

Everyone knows hair can make a statement, and one San Antonio business owner’s commentary on a specific style is raising a few eyebrows.

After the deadly Market Square shooting on April 28, San Antonio bar owner Ricky Ortiz posted to Facebook calling for a “no Edgar” policy, urging the Fiesta San Antonio Commission to “fence the whole thing off, charge a cover” and “make it unaffordable for them to even attend



The term “Edgar” refers to a haircut characterized by a high taper fade with a blunt cropped fringe. It was popularized in border states like California, New Mexico and Texas. Rooted in Mexican and Indigenous culture, it’s a cut that’s recently gained a ton of traction among Gen-Z Latinos, per the Chicago Sun Times.

However, for Ortiz — who owns the likes of El Camino, Bésame and Ay Que Chula — the Edgar haircut seems to suggest a sore spot.

“A good chunk of the people in this city are absolute (trash),” he wrote.

Ortiz did not immediately respond to a request for comment from the San Antonio Express-News.

While some commenters supported his standpoint, others chided his post as discriminatory and tone-deaf.

Yall know THERE IS a historic connection to that Edgar Haircut right?” X-user @amenjenn wrote Tuesday in response to Ortiz’s post. “The style IS deeply rooted in the history of Texas/Mexico culture but yall not ready for that convo. Disappointed af in these ‘local’ business owners.”

With roots in Indigenous culture that go as far back as the early 1620s, the Edgar haircut has a profound history in South Texas, and it seems like it's here to stay.

Man here in Dallas, 80% of the ninos rock one of these shyts.

The ones that don't have white first names and date pawgs.
