That is unfortunate that happens here in Portland Oregon as far as "the nod"it makes it really frustrating to want to still live in Portland amongst some black folks who I personally feel have no soul. I've encountered so many black folks here in Portland Oregon who didn't acknowledge that there was another black man standing right by them. That is so frustrating because I acknowledge every black person I come across.

my Pops was born and raised in Columbia, SC..and as a young buck, he dealt with "Jim Crow" in extremely brutal ways in SC. People sometimes forget, racism was as bad and maybe worse in South Carolina, than it was in Alabama and Mississipi in the 40s, 50s & 60s. So, he went out of his way to be acknowledged by other human beings just to stay sane..because, as he told me, many, many yrs into my own adulthood, he could go many days without one single whit person saying "boo" to him..and when they did speak, they were always telling him what to do and where to go. So, until he ran away from home and went into the Army, he just decided to STOP speaking to people of caucasian persuasion, altogether. But when he would see "his own" anywhere, he wouldn't just nod his head, but he would ALWAYS drop an "alright, now!" on 'em. Which in the South, is plain, ol' general-speak for "how you doin' today"..or as the kids say, "wassup". Ive visited Portland, twice...dated someone from there, briefly...and on both occasions, I LOVED the city. I didnt get around the city a whole lot. But what I saw of it, I liked. But Im not dumb or oblivious, either. I saw and heard a LOT of fake "woke, white people". Sorry...there's no other way to put that. Its just the truth. I think they meant well, but they didnt understand that my day to day struggles in my skin, is NOT THEIRS, simply because they dont wear this skin. So, they can march with me and protest with me...and speak up on my behalf all they want. But the freedoms they have in life, by virtue of just being privileged to be white, are not ones that are equally mine. And thats a whole other pragraph. I'll just say, the main reason I decided NOT to move to Portland, is because Im getting older. ..Im 54...and once you eclipse that age, you start narrowing down your life, to wanting to be around people, places and things, that inspire you and make you feel good on all fronts. Portland is STILL, in my opinion, a nice place to visit...Im a chef. So, the food scene REALLY appeals to me and got me excited. Last time I did visit was in 2013...and lets just say A LOT has changed in Portland, since 2013. And diversity, oddly enough is NOT one of the things that has changed for the better, whether you be straight, gay or otherwise. And a vibrant food scene there, was not enough to encourage me to pack up a UHaul to move there. If I wanna fight white, racist homeless folks, I can do that in a VERY bad dream. But I'll be goddamn if Im going to do it in real time. Nope..

This is a beautiful reminder 💜. I had to adjust to the nod , being from the Caribbean we acknowledge each other by verbally saying hello, good morning, good evening etc. In the States have been a bit different. When you greet ohers like yourself on the street they can look at you strange, lol. The nod... the nod is that happy feeling of acknowledgement, that quietly says I see you.Thank you for this video.

Chicago-Native here. I grew up with the nod for sure! Still do it. Portland was the 1st place that I have lived where I did NOT get one back! I was shocked! Like some of the speakers mentioned, I did not know what to do with that. I mean, I DO get the nod back a lot. I was just taken aback when I did not get it a few times.

This is BEAUTIFUL!!! Nodding with Joy and I LIKED this video and the comment of every nodder in the comment section that I saw this evening (21. Nov. 2021) because I SEE you, because I LOVE us (you, me and our people) and because I UNDERSTAND your struggles - the struggles that stem from the oppression, discrimination, bullying and other and the injustices that you/we face, especially here in America. And yes, I subscribed to this channel BECAUSE OF this beautiful video. Much respect! Rest in Peace, Mrs. Maxey. ✨💜🕊✨💜✨🕊💜 With great love and appreciation from San Francisco ♥️🌉💫 for all of you who nod (acknowledge, see, understand/empathize with, appreciate and honor your kindred - brothers and sisters - and also for those who choose/chose to START NODDING because of this video from San Francisco. VIEWERS, I invite you to show your love/appreciation by LIKE-ing the video (clicking the LIKE button) if you nod and/or understand/respect the Black Nod.

I enjoyed learning about the Black Nod. Clearly it's used as an acknowledgement between black folks. Does that mean it would be inappropriate of me, as a white man, to nod to a black person? I'm pretty sure that if another person nodded to me, it's respectful to nod back. However, should I not nod to a black person unless they nod first? I'd appreciate any insights. Thank you. Tom

After watching this video, you just got a peek at Black culture. Understanding what the nod means to us especially in these times, undergoing police brutality, etc.,gives you an idea of our unity. Make sure when you nod to a Black person, do it with a smile, then we get it, you're not threatened by our culture, nor thinking we're plotting a "rebellion" .
