I somehow missed this episode, just watched. You are the best, basically saying what I usually want to say but don't have the right words to say it with. It's clear, concise and hilarious. Wish I could play this to every "post racial" idiot.
Biraciality is a relatively new privilege of identity, and certainly was much less common in Obama's generation. People who insist that being Black is somehow denying his heritage bleary have no grasp of history. Saying he " chose to identify as Black" suggests that he would have had the equal option to identify as White ( and we all know the nuthouse that would have landed him in.) Perhaps it was less about choosing one side over another, and more about deciding to live as a WHOLE Black perso
Obama is biracial...he & everyone else should except that. His white mother raised him...does he have to deny his blood from her just to make everyone happy? But, yeah, in America he's black, lol.
You make a really good point. Just go ahead and get it out there. Alot of white people choose to try and ignore the fact that PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA is black by saying,"It's not about race"and all that bullshit but fuck that, That is a BLACK man in there!! Like you said, if it was 1940, them white people would of had him cleaning regardless of him being "1/2 white" They wanna bring that up because he is the president. whether you like it or not, HE IS BLACK.hell ask him. He'll tell you.
Dude, your color is not determined by how society generally perceives you. Your racial background is determined by the racial ancestry of your parents!!!
I love this!!!!! thank you for saying EVERYTHING I've been wanting to say but haven't had the power to make a youtube video popular enough to get the word out lol
Elon, I've shared your awesome to the WORDS comunity. It amazes me how folks see color and no color only when it is in their best interest to validate their opinion, conditioning or lack thereof.
LMAO LOVING the big bird jacket!! lol I agree - he's black, no need to look past it. I was happy that a negro was elected as leader in a country like yours. i'll be happier tho, when it's no longer considered an accomplishment for a black person to DO something. You're right, ppl are silly to say that race doesn't matter coz it does, but it shouldn't. Keep up the awesomeness :D
Can you invite Liel to the Crenshaw district in Los Angeles so we don't have to travel to the westside to shop at the Gap or A&F? Have him meet me at the corner of Slauson & Crenshaw (next to the brotha selling the "Obama - Original Gangsta" & the "Blingin' Barack" t-shirts on December 29th - UJAMAA!!
Yo, you had me CRYING in my apartment. My neighbors are now worried that I'm a lunatic!! A quarter of the way in I pressed "subscribe"!!! I look forward to "mo blackness, mo blackness, mo blackness" ( In living Color reference). By the way, I wasn't cool in High School either. But that's ok, damnit!!! Peace!
This is why I watch TWiB! Oh, and pimpin' jacket Elon. It would be more pimpish if it was the Count. One whore, Two whores, Three whores...ha ha ha har.
The "post-racial" dialogue confuses the concepts of racial acceptance and racial blindness. It's cool if a person wants to self-identify without reference to race, or if (s)he identifies with each component of their racial heritage (a la Tiger Woods = "Camblasia"). But, this notion that Obama is not black is laughable. First, Obama self-identifies as black. Second, according to the one-drop racial schema that has dominated this country for hundreds of years he's Black. Third, have you seen him?
Holy crap! Your "Pompous White Guy" voice is just spectacular! You really should consider voice acting or something, man!
