Casually came up with vaccine talk and the four folks there (early af as I work weekends early) had not gotten the vaccine and basically had no plans to.
1st dude, my barber whos been cutting me for close to 30 years said getting it was a way for 'them' to lead to taking 'the chip' later on aka antichrist shit
2. Other barber said he wanted something they given away before he even imagines getting it..like being paid etc like what you see happening here and there, prizes etc
3rd dude was on one (he's why I questioned if they were vaccinated). Oppositional af about it, his wf n kids got it but he steadfast is against or and 'might' get it but is waiting to see the effects of the shot blah blah blah...(this dude watches Fox sometimes to get ALL information about things ..I threw up in my mouth and said as much etc)
4th dude was younger cat but quiet af until I asked him and he hasn't gotten it yet and says he is on a both sides have good points
I was an hr late to work 'debating' this shit with them...I was low key heartbroken..mostly shocked I mean...bammas lol

these niggas aren’t the best and brightest
I’m pretty sure Black barbershops lose their license if more than 25% of the barbers are vaccinated. Its amazing how smart dumb people are once they get inside a barber shop.
Shit is scary.
My barber acted like I was an alien when I told him I got vaccinated. He’s young but so many of these barbers are self appointed hood scholars.

sitting on the porch when another cousin walks up from just getting vaccinated. another cousin starts about why she’s not getting it. my cousin (the one to just joined us) was like….”I don’t give a f*ck why you didn’t get it, I’m talking about me”.

The regularly loud and wrong folks are special humans. Too bad those folks are all over the place now and getting to be in more important places all the time (prior POTUS for instance). At barbershops, it was at least mildly entertaining to be in someone's world temporarily and marvel at silly stuff folks say and the amazingly weak logic behind. 'Patrick Ewing was way better than Hakeem, now (you gotta have the 'now' in there). New York City is a big town, now! You been to NYC!? Tha Garden!? Shiiiiiiiid!!' or something like that.
26. "yep, talkin about certain stuff is cool to hear." In response to Reply # 25
my old barber was good about keeping convos. mostly about sports and women lol.
at times, he was on some woke stuff, but I was young. a lot of it was new to me, but interesting.
that dude also learned Spanish on his own. I like getting cut from him, but as I got older, I just didn't have time to be in the seat for an hour after waiting hours already. then I went bald. so it worked out lol

Which aren't your business or concern.
If you wanna be vaccinated...make the best decision for you and your family.
That's your business and where it ends. I don't believe you at all when you say you walked in a barber shop and told strangers they was bammas for doing whatever the fk they decided to do

Man, stfu and go somewhere

History. Politics. Sports. Women.
You can consider them bammas for their opinion. That's fine. But that's literally the place for that convo.
No women to stunt for.
In person so cuts down on the typical hoe like shenanigans dudes like to do online (I Guarantee this clown didn't say these cats was bammas to their face...not without them replying in kind)
Etc
Have the courage of your convictions..."men"
Discuss and reason with your peers in person and defend your position logically if you dare
Or...do this. Your call. One is honorable. One is hoe shit

58. "well mr rdhull lemme give u alil more insight.." In response to Reply # 56
long story short, before i got into the field of IT once upon a time i had a career working in big pharma (appx 15 years). step further, the dept i worked in was called regulatory affairs, which deals in getting new drugs approved by the FDA...so lets say im very familiar with how this process usually runs.
it normally takes between 5-10 years for a new drug to go from conception to the shelf. there are several stages of testing and back and forth correspondence with the FDA throughout the process. they approve a stage, you get to move fwd.
if something pops up 2, 5, 7 years in that needs to be caught, they catch it. guess what? i respect the "science" as u label it, completely. but what i dont assume? is that they know whats gonna happen down the road. there is no way for them to be able to predict what side effects are gonna come from this vaccine...and they all have side effects. so yes, knowing what i know, i was alil reluctant, but guess what? i took the shit, and im ok with the fact that i took it.
but i stand by my initial hesitations because they were rooted in first hand knowledge and up close experience. might be some bammas in the bldg but not in this room...no disrespect to the bammas

But only because people close to you might get sick and I hear you and already know about time development for medicines to be allowed to hit the market but this was/is different. So you got bit by the bamma but didnt 'turn' lol. Overall, glad you got the vax.

I thinking getting it to protect family is a much better reason than acting like you worked in the labs that created it and have all the info on it.

at first...but after getting it i had this immediate sense of satisfaction in knowing that i did my part...i was and am glad that i did it. and now we are seeing that as this thing moves fwd a major component surrounds unvaccinated folks.

I only stated being late to emphasize it wasn’t just a 5 min convo. And it only lasted as long because I was dman near done with the cut when we began discussing this

1. i appreciate that you took the time to attempt to educate them. you may not know what impact your words may have had. I always find it worthwhile to share any facts i have with folks regardless of their response at the time...sometimes people think about shit afterward and change their mind..so, well done. Uber is my pulpit and i have so many really intimate and connective conversations when i'm driving folks
2. we are all paying the price for the harm that's been done via public education for the last 5 decades...so many things were never prioritized that should have been, like critical thinking, critical analysis and much more. the fact that most Americans of all races have been intentionally fed a substandard education is coming home to roost over and over and over...
