Most black men get far more compensation for being buffoonish comedians than they will ever get for being scientists or thinkers. There’s a long history of this going all the way back to the plantation.

Those who are curious about my statement should read "Black Labor, White Wealth" by Dr Claud Anderson. The minstrel show has a long history in America, and it typically includes either black people (or those in blackface) engaging in: - Exxaggerated and bufoonish behavior for comedic effect - Stereotypical behavior indicating ignorance and laziness - Comedy, music and dance, meant to entertain mostly white audiences The unfortunate consequence of minstrel shows is that they lead to the marginalization and dehumanization of black people. Most Americans do not see the black male as any kind of intellectual, leader or responsible citizen. Much of this comes from media.

THATS THE DUMBEST COMMENT I HAVE EVER HEARD.. HAVING FUN DOES NOT EXCLUDE BEING INTELLIGENT. THATS CALLED BALANCE! ALL THE BLACK INVENTORS WERE WHAT? DUMB? MY GRANDFATHER DIDN'T DO THIS, MY FATHER DIDN'T, BUT THERE IS NO HARM IN ENJOYING LIFE, EVERYONE SHOULD. STOP SELF HATE

You have one life to live and if you want to spend it being an uptight square you can do that it’s your life but frankly having fun and enjoying life should be the main goal

Black men are not being buffoonish they're showing that they are very spirited. When we do this in church in the holy spirit it's a beautiful thing. People want to see the experience you have in church outside of the church. We need to bring Jesus outside of the church and exuberance that goes along with it. It's called being lively the life of the party. The Life Of Life.
