That brotha dominating tik tok and getting that check......dude like 21.....younger then me but inspires me.

tons of similar stuff where people make millions

I actually came in here to post this. Folks are having a hard time understanding his videos because that form of comedy hasn't really been popular in America for a while so you don't see it as much.

But basically he's doing a 21st century form of vaudeville and minstrelsy. Minstrelsy was the most popular form of entertainment at one point.

Mantan Moreland and Stepin Fetchit became very rich men off of this form of comedy.

Not hating cause I WISH I had come up with this and I hope breh enjoy all the money he getting off this finesse but....
If we keeping it a bean this dude corny as shyt and not actually funny or interesting. When I first heard about him then saw what he did I wondered if it was a case of people laughing with him or laughing at him . Breh lives in a country where they still throw bananas at black people so not sure what his appeal is really about

Not gonna lie I was thinking the same thing

Why does that matter when he's making 750K per post?

 

[Duke Wy Lin]

He lives in Europe so it's not surprising.


Get the hate out your heart. Yall sistas were not lining up for dark skin Africans. But have some type of shyt to say when they eat elsewhere.

I know for a fact @Giselle would never date him even though he's rich.

Well it's not the minstrels of old. It's adapted for our current culture and the social media age. Absent of the black face or chicken and watermelon, the buffoonery is still there at the heart of it.

WHy should it? His money don't affect mine and his TikTok videos aren't doing enough to affect black people's image. The nikka ain't tap dancing or nothing.

That one post at the beginning of this thread really fukked the whole conversation up

dudes huffin and puffin on her comment

Damn these white, asian, latina, dominican, and puerto rican women really love black men. Everytime you turn around there's a white, asian, latina, dominican, and puerto rican woman happily in love with a black man.

That’s what you really think huh .

Bruh does look like he's always a second away from bucking his eyes like this

breh you don't need to explain yourself to me
if you rock with it do you

In these ladies eyes, black men are seen through a hypersexual lens. Something exotic and for good time, but discarded later when stability is wanted. They'll get a white man when they want to settle down.

When all things the same regarding money, they start getting braver about being seen with black men. They'll try to lock down a rich brother. How many of those college football players are gonna have Beckys staying with then if they don't go pro?

That and an easy lick, plus many are still subconsciously biased, so the idea of taking a breh from a brehette makes their ego bigger. They also know it’s easy to catch a breh with status, hence easy lick.
