I don't know about you guys but I've been going to barbershops for years and I've never, ever, heard anything close to this language in my life, let alone any cussing around females.

This is anti-Black male propaganda. If you were talking like that in the barbershop they would check your ass real quick. I have never heard any speech like that, sounds like it was written by a white person and three shea butters.

I haven't been in a barber shop since I was a kid, but even back then this was never the scene... Ever.

You've never been to every barbershop so how can you be so sure that this has never happened?

I'm on Twitter, the overwhelming consensus is that the very idea of this happening is comical at best, coupled in with friends in my group chat, another spot, and Facebook. The writer herself is realizing that she may have made an error.

You're erasing the Black woman's experience going into barbershops and I'm not ok with that. How are we going to be one if you erase our voices when we tell our stories?

Women, multiple at that, cosigned what we said. As a barbershop patron for ever thirty years the rules were no cussing around women and children. I had women in mind whenever I made my assessment, matter of fact I discussed this with multiple women on different platforms.

For the record, this is from the source of the scene. But this brings other conversations into the mix.

Your tweet agrees with me.

Your tweet agrees with me.

That's her tweet actually, not mine

The tweet that you posted belonging to someone else agrees with me. I hope that's clearer.

Ah that's what I figured.

Here's the thing, am I for women's and/or LGBT input on barbershop experiences? Absolutely. But if, from my assessments, an overwhelming borderline unanimous amount of people think that this depiction is inaccurate, shouldn't we have a right to call her out on it? If this was just from a black male's point of view specifically I wouldn't have posted it. As a black male I would like to see an accurate depiction if the barbershop experience, as you would the salon. If a black male made an unrealistic scene about a salon wouldn't you like to correct it?

That community is trash. Black LGBT needs to speak up on this shit.

 

[Nesut]

That community is trash. Black LGBT needs to speak up on this ish.

Seriously. If they don't speak up they are complicit. We are getting attacked from all angles.

They were co-signing the sentiment of this scene.

They are following an LGBT agenda which is why that scene is not an issue for them. They don’t even see themselves as the same as us. They got their marching orders to attack us and they are on the March. The good thing is we see them for who they are now.

Even if this were to occur it would be the exception rather than the norm. This is White Supremacy being meted out by Black Practitioners.

Exactly. That nigga would get checked so fast.
