So I just saw this commercial on TV and I get the joke.
He uses Axe Dark Temptation. Dark is like chocolate. Now he’s chocolate. And lots of white women around really like chocolate. Cause they can’t resist… wait for it… “dark temptation.”
But “chocolate” by no means is code for “black.” Like Chocolate City. Or David Alan Grier’s new TV show, Chocolate News. And let’s not forget… CHOCOLATE RAAAAAIIIINNN!!!
HE’S BLACK NOW, PEOPLE! YOU CAN’T FOOL ME, AXE! CHOCOLATE = BLACK!
Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go watch a movie, Willy Wonka and the Black Factory.
This is my recap of my 4 days at Comic-Con 2008… or at least as much as I can remember. It was a long week, and I spent a lot of it in a Scooby-Doo costume, so I’m a little light-headed.
I’ll tell you right now. I’m writing based on my own personal Comic-Con adventures. So if you’re looking for secret Hugh Jackman appearances, love or hate debates over Twilight, or first-look videos that will eventually be deleted from YouTube, you’re in the wrong place. Let’s do this!
This is an e-mail I wrote to my LiveVideo fans recently after an unfortunate incident that occurred to me. I thought I would post it on my blog to not only thank them, but also bring to light a growing but often not discussed issue online, and that’s the rampant use of hate speech and racism on these new media type sites that really need to be controlled. Thanks again to my Black Nerd Live/LiveVideo fans and subscribers.
You know I like to have fun and joke around, but I got an email recently through YouTube that I found interesting. Usually, I tend to ignore mail criticizing me because it usually comes from a 15-year-old kid who just finds it fun to call everyone “gay” on the Internet. But this one was written in an interesting way that I had to respond. Here is the message:
Man I’m black and you shouldn’t go around insulting are race like you are doing. I’m not telling you to act like a thug and I’m not telling you to quit being a nerd just quit giving the white people excuses to laugh at us. if you are going to be a nerd than be on and be proud of it just don’t be a “black nerd” because it makes it seem like all blacks are not smart and we are and it makes us seem ignorant which most whites already think we are.
While I felt this person completely misunderstood where I was coming from in my black nerdiness, I couldn’t help but to walk in his shoes a little bit and see why he may have felt this way. Here’s my response…
Check out my 2nd appearance on this hilarious video game podcast, where I talk lovingly about Super Smash Bros. Brawl, give my “Black Nerd State of the Union,” and coin a brand new name for African-American racism, “Fried Chicken McWatermelon.”
Black History Month is almost over, people, so here’s a fun improv video from Kelsea and her “black friends” Janae and Jen, answering the public’s questions they’ve always wanted to ask black friends. Very funny stuff from my fellow black nerds and friends.
The Boondocks has never been a show that shies away from controversial topics, just like South Park and, years before, All in the Family, and I have always appreciated that. I also have appreciated Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim for allowing them to do that.
This show has made fun of everything… black people, white people, the N word, overeating, Oprah, snitching, religion, MySpace, gold diggers, pimps, anime, Soul Plane…
You would think there would be no sacred topic at all for this show or the network. But that all changed this season.
And the topic that seems perfect for The Boondocks to make fun of is the one entity able to cause Cartoon Network to ban two episodes of the series from airing. That topic…
On the 45th anniversary of
