Millionaire Tells Young Black Man To Cut His Dreads Off... Do You Agree or Think He Folded 🤔 

Lmaooo

Exactly!

He made it already tho that’s the diff

@@RobinXlonenah nigga quit glazin 😂

Fr like he be contradicting himself

That fatherly advice was a bunch of BS.

@@Preus-by8ruMost companies will not hire people who look like they’ve let their hair get matted up “homeless” style. Unless you’re wealthy, have a successful business that brings in reliable income every month, or you have your own stream of income to count on, you can’t afford to “not give a fuck” unless you like being broke and destitute. Bottom line is, if you rely on working for some one else or asking a company for a job, you have to play by corporate America’s rules if you want their pay checks. Believe me, they don’t give a fuck about you not giving a fuck cause they will continue to make money and eat with or without you!

I had an afro when I was younger, always switched between low-cut & afro. When I got my 1st job at 15, my boss who was an investor & wealthy white man sat me down in the office and told me he wanted to promote me but I needed two be presentable, he recommended I cut my hair. Well I cut my hair, and was promoted the day after my cut to sales. 3 months later I was an assistant manager. A year later I was promoted to store manager. I left that job for another company which had remote work from home, & the boss told me '' I don't care what you look like just get work done.'' My grandmother passed away around that time & I started growing my afro back. Then I finally started my twists which turned to locks. During my locks journey I noticed how much maintenance & difficulty I had to keep my hair healthy, go to sleep comfortably, take showers comfortably, do work in wealthier neighborhoods & esp when I got back into sales temporarily etc. I also noticed a big one, where people would be scared of my hair or me, they would literally look or stare at my hair and not take me seriously esp in business. In my experience an athlete or rapper gets a ''free pass'' w the locks. Independent business owners can as well but it needs to be maintained at all times. I promise people treat me better & take me serious in the business world with low cut hair vs locks. Longer hair ( in African American men ) is perceived as not serious or associated with idk what but gives off negative perspective.

White people get dreads too if they don't wash or brush their hair. Usually it's homeless white people so maybe that explains the connotation

It's the same for white people relax 😂

​​@@bloodleopard3831hes a grown man growing out freeforns dreads,shoukd be more focused on growing family wealth,some of yall need to grow up and focus on the more serious thibgs ij life

Its not that its ur natural hair thats the problem bro was just didn’t gaf about his hair and called it freeform if i dont brush my hair everyday it starts matting so i get twist and it actually look professional if u cant even take care of your hair how can u take care of business

If it's freeform it's different from regular locs. Imo.

Ye but dat shit was bogus asl 😂

THANK YOU FOR THIS COMMENT

Right bruh like if that’s the case I would hate to live in a world like dat lmao his bald head asx

It's doesn't define success but it can contribute massively.. If you think you dont have to change or sacrifice for greatness, you're stupid.. Soft wokey logic.. ? embarrassing..

I had hair like that my entire life but my parents own every business I worked at😂😂 So it never mattered. Good thing about ownership. You can dress how u want and do whatever u want

It's just hair and now that he cut it he can go back out whenever you want stew it made him feel good about himself now he can what back out with a new attitude sometimes it's time for change I know this because when I cut my dreads back in the day it opened a lot of doors then you can be who the hell you want to be hair grows back

And you only did what you did because you saw somebody else doing it....monkey see Monkey do Monkey get in trouble too.

@@rhoyanbradsfield2985 sounds like it was all mental, you can free yourself without cutting your hair. And if you cut it just so others will accept you then you should probably look in the mirror and find your self

You might as well say that he sold his soul then because of the principal and morals that he stand on and stood by it's not what you like it's what he likes for example if I said I would never put on a dress the executive producer told me that he will pay me certain amount of money if i would then i do it thats a sellout also known as a follower

@@joshuadevaughn8613 agreed about tattoos, but I think that's because that can be easily hidden. Speaking as a black man working in a legal firm where there's already so few black men among attorneys and legal staff in general, I haven't seen one other black man with an unconventional hairstyle. All of them either are shaved bald or have some sort of short fade, all "boring" styles (which isn't bad). I'm the one I generally see that's most unconventional (and that's only slightly, since I just keep my hair curly but stylized - still "professional"). Of course it also depends on the industry too, but I know a lot of black male IT folks who likewise have the same "safe" hairstyles, though I've come across a couple of black software engineers (generally working remotely, or who are already established in the industry) with braids. To this date I haven't seen any black male in my sphere who's in an executive position or who's a partner at a firm that has an unconventional hairstyle though. It's already hard enough for a black male to reach that level due to gatekeeping, so I couldn't fathom being able to do that unless if the black man actually owned the company.

Exactly. So you make the changes you can and still remain who you are inside, to make those first impressions count by what's on the outside and the long relationships continue based on what's inside.

And unless you intend on living out in the wilderness on your own, you’ll continue to abide by other people’s rules. The workforce is no different. If you want the privilege of being paid high amounts of money by an employer, then you work with the understanding that you’re not being paid to ‘express yourself’ on their dime. You’re being paid to do a job and conform to their rules.

They want the same level of professionalism that would be shown to any white person in their position.

He’s trying to have ppl respect him more and take him more seriously when I comes to business and opportunities meanwhile if kept that bs he’d get the opposite.
