I put it back on you

Name ten average regular black actors

I’ll bet money that most of them aren’t corny

This is a funny topic because now y'all have to realize that there are levels to being black.

And this was my point around the time everyone was talking about the not like us song. And making the thread proving ur hands was black.

Some of us ain't like the rest of u. The other actors are squares too

I love being a square.

Never been arrested. Zero criminal record. Perfect credit. No baby mothers, tattoos, or piercings. I don’t smoke or drink. My health is in peak condition. Zero drama. No grays in my hair. Hairline still fine.

10/10 would recommended. I go through life on easy mode. :blessed:
Ole peak condition ass :childplease:

He said “I hate him for being corny.”

My question was “What makes Donald Glover corny? And if he’s corny then who is cool?”

It seems like no one can answer my simple question 😅
That is actually a good question, but the answer will open a whole nother can of worms

Russell Wilson was considered a corn ball brother until he played clean up man for Ciara. All of the sudden, he had “swag” to a certain demographic. :mjlol:

The contrast of corny is normal not cool

That’s where you fukked up

Chat GPT gave you 9 normal actors and Jayden Smith who is on the weird category. Should I ask it for 10 more?

I remember the shift and change when it came to black “masculinity”. Michael Jordan at one point was the apotheosis of it: a tall athlete, well spoken, married, no tattoos, respectable and as far as we knew, no drama. His only vice that we heard of was his gambling.

Then comes Tupac with his Thug Life persona. He dies then DMX takes his place. And once Allen Iverson arrived in the NBA with his braids and tattoos, it became a wrap.

I’m not blaming those individuals solely for the shift in the “culture” but they definitely contributed towards it. Simply being an athlete isn’t enough… just look at clowns like Ja Moron and his antics and yet another NBA player got clowned for being frugal with his money. :francis:

Never been called lame or square.
Definitely not "hood" though. but there are other types amongst brehs beyond just "hood" or "Square"

Yall need to accept the fact that you might be a nerd if you feel this way.
To some people nerd, lame, square is all lumped in the same category

It is though,

But that's not what i was saying. I'm saying there is a spectrum people between people like tupac and steve urkel.
You don't default to square just because you not tupac. you can still be fashionable and have social skills without being hood

Lame/square is considered an insult because it says you mostly lack social skills, you don't have friends, you be in the house on the weekends, don't get p*ssy, and don't have the latest fashion.

You can probably get away with no fashion, but the lack of social skills and friends gets you looked at like a weirdo.
