There was a protest outside of the shop today, but personally I think it would be more effective for Black British people to stop prioritising these hair shops altogether and find Black-owned alternatives instead. Hit these people where it really hurts - their pockets. They've made it clear over the years that they don't really want our custom . From a personal perspective, if there's no Black-owned hair shop around me, I buy online from Black vendors.

Devin Posted September 19, 2023 Author Posted September 19, 2023 I’m so over the niggatry with mfs. Either I’m getting older OR needa surround myself around better ppl. Like that ghetto/hood mentality with friends, fam, dating, businesses, etc. is a mad turn off. Be smart & show some decorum, we don’t needa always fall into #that stereotype. 3

Most during middle/high school years do it to fit in or model after their upbringing. College years is usually that being apart of they personality, which is fine but there’s a time and a place to filter yourself to excel – which ties into my earlier vent. 1

Seeing Nickis trash husband and Offset having a hood-off as well as seeing that tiktok of these 12 yearolds with guns is giving me second hand embarrassment for our people. 1

Idk sometimes it feels like I’m stuck in a generation (the late 20s/early 30s ppl) where mfs still hold onto that hood mentality then they shame me for wanting better for myself
Fleahive Posted September 19, 2023 Posted September 19, 2023 Hi I’m blackity black. Yes I get so embarrassed seeing grown men walk around with sagging pants, cursing like a sailor, using n word out loud in every sentence in public, etc. The black community has to learn to grow and stop embracing bad stereotypes as a culture. We can do so much better. The world (including black non Americans) look at us like we’re crazy. We also need to work on emotional intelligence. A lot of black folks can’t have a disagreement without it turning into a full blown argument, hands thrown or guns drawn. It’s actually sad. Learn when to pick and choose your battles. You don’t always have to have the last word. I could go on… 1
Devin Posted September 19, 2023 Author Posted September 19, 2023 My anxiety increased bc I’m old school and still believe in monogamy, marriage, wanna kid, etc. in a generation that dgaf. I think with age + working corporate is worse for me communication-wise. Like when I’m around my friends, fam, or dating I’m too “proper” for them and its a turn off. Then when I interact with the Black folks at work they either have that Oreo mentality OR I’m too “ghetto” to roll with them. Hate it here! 4
