    Bad take. Read the other comments in this thread for the actual reasons.

      I mean, they’re right as well. Especially here in the South. Until recently where small, local barbershops have become almost a thing of the past. The guy I used to see as a kid (when I had no choice) would chase black people out of his shop with a shotgun while shouting slurs.

      His shop only closed when he died in 2010. Racist fucker was almost 100.

      Every barbershop where I am used to be like that.

        I’m not denying that black people have been kicked out of business as a result of racism. I’m challenging that as the primary reason that black barbershops exist today.

      What, the ones that pretend that regular barbershops are somehow unable to handle hair on black folks to such an extent that they needed to start babershops just for black people in black communities?

      No, they exist for reasons far beyond barber skill sets.
