FOR'rn Hilltop Staff\Vriter I On Saturdays, black women go to beauty salons 10 get beau tified from head to toe, but for black men, barbershops become the sanctuary where their secrets lie. Upon entering 1he urbau hair cutleries, 1he men take off 1heir hats and allow a weeks worth of gossip io flow like hip-hop jubilees. Topics of discussion vary each week at New Image Salon on Florida Avenue. Al times jokes are 1ossed around the room, and conversation may range from in1ellec1ual spats 10 bnnally blunt commentaries on life and love in the Black community. The walls ofa politically correcl society are destroyed here. The men arc comfortable, sincere. Although they come from various backgrounds, 1hese men, aged 12 to 35, all have something in common: A longing to talk-freely. During one afternoon, a round of men discuss the Redskins' rough season, whi le some talk about the "money-hungry" Howard women they have encountered.

As 1be conversation gc1s juicier, 01her men in the shop wa1ch ing an Orange Bowl foo1ball game on the 1clcvision become sidetracked by the male-oriented gossip, and roar in laughter. Like redundant echoes of "Amen" heard in Sunday service, the men exchange hand slaps in agreement with the commen tary on women. Sounds of shears and buzzing clippers floa1 throughou1 1he shop and over sporadic conversations as Howard sruden1s, alum ni and community patrons pour into the unisex salon. As time progresses, racism in sports becomes the main dis cussion. "Man, I'm so sick and tired of 1he media showing McGwire all the love, and Sosa none," Lee said speaking to his comrades. "They never show n****s love, and you know how that goes. Bui who cares? A lot of brothers gonna' be bouncing checks buying the new NBA Live." Not only did these men admit they bounce checks, but they also mistreat women when it comes to dating. "Man, sis1crs be trying 10 gel us man. They think we are sup posed to pay all the time for dinner and the movies," said J.T. a barber. But tnis is the talk of young men.
