Not good enough.

   After reading "The Barbershop" by Ashanti Young made me realize that you'll never be good enough because of the way you act by the way you look, talk, etc. instead of people accepting who you are, they always find the little things to not make you feel included. In the article it explains how Young was at the barbershop in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, he says he looks different compared to all the other black men there. "That's part of why I was at the barbershop and to get that fresh bald fade, one of the trendy hallmarks of black masculinity." which explains that he wants to fit in with the other black men because he feels left out and knows he's different compared to the black men.
Young is so concerned on who he is and what he does. He feels as if his performance (racial) are being judged. His 'linguistic performance is similar to theirs (barbershop) but not his racial performance, again which he is so concerned about. When Young said he's not "ghetto enough for the ghetto" also for the "white folks" shows your never good enough for anything in this world to be honest. Now if you don't do this or scared to do something your not "cool" enough. No matter how hard you try you'll "never" fit in.
