My favorite episode of Living Single was when their house got burglarized.
"This is a queen size bed. Which means there's just enough room for the Queen."

So I'm thinking about cutting my hair for the first time. I wouldn't be cutting it really low so it makes me less nervous about doing it. Any of you guys have experience cutting your own hair?

I've only ever cut my hair bald. That was easy. I couldn't imagine giving myself a caesar of any kind.eternaLightness said:

Cut my own hair? And fuck my line up? Hell no.
I've been tipping my barber all these years for a reason.

lol. It's just I go to the barber my bro goes to and it's like 30 mins away. I'll mostly just be keeping it maintained and not actually cutting and I'll use the larger clipper guides that come with a set.

For me, lining myself up is the easy part.
Just make sure you use the guards and you basically can't mess up. Though giving yourself a fade or taper of any sort is out of the question for now

And by change I see you mean preaching to the chior? I doubt either one of the people speaking could relate how life is like in the roughest neighborhoods nor how to adequately combat any prevailing mindset.
I also believe that none of the people they were talking to.... are the intended demographic.
What we have here is now a growing class of well to do black people who think that the only way to solve the problems is to turn around and try to send the message...... DO BETTER. To the parents, to the youngsters and everyone else involved.
The scary part about it is that they really think that the criticism is an actual solution and it isn't something that hasn't been tried over the decades already.

This question might not be suited for this board's demographics, but...
...are there any national/cultural dishes of yours that you think everyone should try? Granted, I'm guessing most people here are European or American, but there must be an Africa-GAF or similar, too. If not, then the wisdom of someone in touch with their roots or knowledgeable about certain dishes common in black communities you grew up in (if you did grow up in one) would be greatly appreciated.

Terrible OP. If you are going to post something like that you have to come correct. If he had made those claims but backed it up with statistics or articles he would have had a shot at making a point there. But the post rambles on and is only filled with dumb ass anecdotal shit.cooljeanius said:
I'm not getting touched by anything, that's the point. I can hear all types of weird sounds, bangs and things getting knocked over by themselves but as long as nothing is physically touching me I'm going to ignore it.Maddness said:

all i know is the last time i made a joke about PC gamers, i got banned, but PC gamers make jokes about console gamers all the time!cooljeanius said:
The pleasure would be mine. If the missus wins the holiday battle next year (Me - Italy, Her - Japan), I'll look you up!Blackace said:
I think that was a thread about PC gaming. Hard to tell from the OP, I'll grant you!Londa said:
On a separate note:
Does Roots Manuva have any sort of profile in the states? He's not the best MC, or the worst MC, but he's got certification, he's the first MC.
If it was a thread only on PC gaming then the person who linked it here wouldn't have felt the need to post it in a thread called Black Culture. It is plain to everyone here that the OP is black and tried to relate his sensitivity to the "PC master race" meme to being black. That has nothing to do with black culture and it actually makes black people look overly sensitive, slightly dumb, with a pinch of can't take a joke.SmokyDave said:
I guess I thought this thread wasn't about tearing black people down when basically all threads outside of this one is pertaining to black people is negative.
