In Ricky's perspective, you don't need to have a high school diploma or a college degree to have great jobs, but you gotta educate yourself and be mindful to what's happening in our society.
I love this scene. Jimmy always thought everyone was trying to come for him because he was going to Northwestern, like he was a sellout. Nah. They came for him because he bought into his own hype too much. He wasn’t just a smart dude, he was arrogant about it and lorded it over their heads. Thought he was too smart for everyone in a humble South Side barbershop. He needed that schooling, from Ricky and later from Isaac.
Jimmy is the biggest example of a pretentious student that attends prestigious universities I dealt with Jimmy types a lot especially at John’s Hopkins University.
Jimmy is those type of fools that act like they're better than someone, acting arrogant as hell but swear black people hate them because they're "smart"
@@leondreamcast guys like jimmy also usually struggled with racial identity issues. Like they hated themselves so they always wanted to date non black women and hang around more non black circles. That's not the case with jimmy I believe but in real life people like him also hate themselves
ThaGoochtookmylunch money college is scheme, you literally go in debt for a piece of paper that says you’re smart. Many people don’t even find jobs that they got their degree for.
C.T. Especially blacks. They only select a few black peoples for those positions. And don’t even put you on equal footing when looking over your application.
@LoyalT1987 that depends on your depth as a person. I see some people use their Buiness Degrees to an extent some Engineering students can't fathom and vice-versa. But for me valuing educations is amazing and fruitful
@@loristnorton3723 I value my education but, it's my common sense got me where I am today. Being educated and being intelligent has to different definitions. I still stay humble because the fall is harder from the top.
Reminds me of a Louis CK joke. People that don't go to college have more life experience and end up being wiser than a college graduate because they're only knowledgeable in the thing they majored in.
@@TheSlammurai That's a very narcissistic viewpoint. Life doesn't stop just because you're in school, many people struggle with life while getting their degree. People who think they're "wiser" than college grads have inferiority complexes.
But Isaac was cool with it, though. Back then, we knew who to let in our circle and who not to. Isaac was one of the very few white boys who really rolled with the community like that. Notice how his white side didn't come out and he didn't go anti-reparations on them. He kept quiet and respectful. Now we let anybody sit with us and disrespect us.
Ironically, during the mollusk compare and contrast scene. Years later Michael Ealy went on to be a waiter and vallet driver at a fancy restaurant then actually owning his own restaurant in Think Like A Man. :)
Geo Mag It doesn’t? I thought for sure in order to be intelligent you have to educate yourself. Not necessarily in school, but you learn, which in turn would make you intelligent. No?
Just because you may have a fancy education doesnt make you smarter or better than the average person the average person learns threw ways school cant or wont teach you nd thats called LIFE
No, no, that quite literally makes you _better AND smarter_ at least in terms of things you can measure. All that "life" advice is meaningless if you never leave "the hood" like Ricky
Calvin was a rare boss and homie, most people would have pulled Ricky up about bringing a firearm to work but he didn't. He just put it somewhere safe, which was the sensible thing to do.
So @1:50 if Ricky acknowledges that The Chronic Album exists inside the Barbershop universe, that would mean that Dr. Dre exists. That would also mean that NWA also exists. So does that mean Ice Cube also exists as himself alongside himself playing Calvin Palmer?
It's conversations like this that made me fall in love with the barbershop films....even the third one, because they talked about stuff that we sometimes take for granted and we don't really think about

“$100k what you think that’s going to do, that’s just going to make Cadillac the number one dealership in the country” Eddie know he wrong, actually it would be dodge 😂😂
I'm not really all for reparations. It's a slap-in-the-face to successful Black people today. Like he said, restraint teaching people that no one owes them anything and you get what you work for.We can accomplish anything we put our mind too. I could be wrong but that's just me.
You're not wrong at all. Black people need to get out of the victim mentality and better themselves, and stop using every excuse they can find as to why they can't
You fool! Reparations is for the pain, rape, enslavement, lynching, belittlement, unfair treatment, the laws created to oppress us, the bigotry, the harassment, the prison industrial complex, the unfair judiciary process, racist laws etc. Please cut the bullshit!
I go for Ricky, I like him, he's super cool Michael Ealy 😎⭐👍🏾💯💯💯💯 And Isaac too Troy Garity 😎 Can we please, please, please trying to teach our kids something other than a chronic album And Please black people be on time for something other than free before 11:00pm at the club
It's not racist for a company to want one. However, having a college education doesn't matter much. If someone has more experience, an employer is most likely to chose that person. But, we also have think about what time this move is set in. It was a time when black people could rarely get college educations and racism was still high. If he did have a college education, he still probably wouldn't be picked for the job over someone who went to a more distinguished school where black people couldn't go. However, I'm not saying this is an excuse to want a hand out like he wanted. Many black men and women have jumped over extreme hurdles to better their lives. The difference is, they never turned back no matter how daunting the road.
Tbh I think it was showing how ignorant some black cats are that's not on they feet. Useing the white man for the reason for not getting jobs insted of learning a skill and working hard. My uncle did that alot until he started finding jobs driving and delivering (which he is good at)
@@artkid9279 that's because it much easier for them to blame someone else for their failures then trying to improve their lives. Blaming white people for everything is their crutch.
Since he wants to be that smart, mature and cool and all that but he's not, He just the dumbest fool in this barbershop, Just Being Dumb! Cause he had a whole lot of big mouth to say to Ricky before he interrupts him

I hear that one, don't buy range rover when you are living with your mom.
And pay ya mama some some rent. I never had to pay my mama rent, but I get what Ricky was saying though
Yup me too!
Flat out I'm with it
Jimmy thought he know everything until Ricky dropped that knowledge on him. All he can do was look like a damn fool. 💯
He was doing it the whole time
Yup flat out
Education does not equal intelligence.

Ice cube all his movies are perfect 👌👍
“ you know what that’s bull and you know why cause you got bills” 0:25
The line in the scene that made the most sense. Who the hell you know turn down money? Certainly not the white folks we black folk tryna impress!
"Is that not respirations!?" Bruh. 🤣🤣
2:03 “you mocking me?” I felt that. I like how he called him out right then and right there
this movie 22 years old and his speech about reperations makes sense now more than ever
0:38 "Resparations!" 😂😂😂
😂😂 when ricky Straight up Owned Jimmy Never gets Old
He got checked 😂😁
back when ppl talked about what was going in the world instead of celebrity bs
indeed sooo tired of talking about celebrities
So @1:50 if Ricky acknowledges that The Chronic Album exists inside the Barbershop universe, that would mean that Dr. Dre exists. That would also mean that NWA also exists. So does that mean Ice Cube also exists as himself alongside himself playing Calvin Palmer?

Jimmy plays this role so good it makes you forget he was dancing with Sarah on “Save The Last Dance”.
