Donald Glover: how the star of Atlanta proved that I too could be cool

[ThrobbingHood]

But seriously, how many more of these “woe is me, I wasn’t like those other nikkas” articles do we have to endure? shyt is the black male equivalent of “I’m an educated black woman, I have to cross over because there’s no black men on my level” bull shyt articles.

I was/am a nerd by definition. That never affected me. I just found black people with similar interests, they’re not hard to find. So tired of this shyt. Subconsciously, they’re trying to justify why they date interracial by writing this shyt.

They need to realize that everyone got clowned in some way shape or form growing up

This is low-key narcissism

Once again. Knowing how to protect yourself and having a sense of self worth is not mutually exclusive or monopolized by "street nikkas". That's the mentality of any grown male who's been through anything would realistically have and if thats how you walk around expecting nikkas to behave like you just typed to me, then you will probably get your own shyt rocked at some point for not knowing how to move. Because of thinking like yours is the reason he probably said that. Don't sleep on anybody

I don't know how this isn't getting through to you but I'll try again. If you are a dude with mannerisms/the lack of physicality like a Donald Glover or a Toure, no matter where you go there will be a lot of dudes who are bigger and tougher than you. Instead of letting them know that you're here for the smoke, it's better to stay in your fukking lane and avoid the problems. If you say "I know how to get down" or God forbid "Test me, I'll kill a nikka", you need to be able to back that up.

Life is not fair. Some of us get to be big, strong, no nonsense tough motherfukkers and others get to attend prep boarding schools/elite universities. Why would anyone want the former over the latter? Getting picked on is the price you pay coming up as a kid. But if you're an adult still crying about it, you need to get your shyt together or get a more successful black circle. I've never met any successful black person doing big things as an adult who was impressed by some juvenile tough guy nonsense. Donald Glover is in his 30s, Toure in his 40s, get over that fukking shyt.

How about carving out your own lane/personality instead of needing validation from Hollywood. Imagine someone clowing this dude now for being lame and him coming back with “nuh uh im like Donald Glover”

 

[GrindtooFilthy]

Never had this problem but I could throw hands so that kept people at bay.

I was that nikka coming to school with my 3ds and PSP. I kept mad manga in my lockers. But I was also the same person who had exclusive albums before they were in stores (thank you utorrent)

These nikkas were probably ultra lame

 

[I Really Mean It]

Donald Glover made me realize it's fine for me to hate myself and emulate my white buddies!

Co sign this poster gets it.

I just want to add something the “Black nerd” (who is just really a black geek because ain’t like these nikkas are at MIT Or something). Act more surprised when a hood dude is into “nerdy stuff” liek they think black people are hive minded just like how cacs think and that they are the special snowflakes. Hood dudes love and I mean loveeeeee shonen anime(see the DBZ and Naruto references in music) The difference is they don’t care about how t makes people feel. I mean go to a fighting game tournaments they took that shyt over like every other sports and they are going into RTS games as well.

I know black females both ratchet and bougie that can name every sailor moon character.

These nikkas kill me.... you aren’t a black nerd you are a lame nikka with bad social skills and that’s ok I am probably lame too. If anything you are the bottom rung of the community because at least d boys contribute money by questionable means.

Black nerds are STEM majors who listen to seminars everyday to their research lab or they like that one dude on YouTube who builds hype PCs from the ground up. They don’t even know what popular rap music or anime is because they are too busy studying string theory.

This line killed me.

I’ve felt a connection with Glover ever since his early days on the college campus-set TV comedy Community, which ran from 2009 to 2015.

Lol.... some of y’all are validating buddy’s argument and stance.


Just read it and keep it moving, this is no big deal either way.

These nikkas are corny.

 

[Citi Trends]

for all the shyt i had to deal with growing up, i honestly cant remember a time i was made fun of for my interests, and i was a big "nerd".

But everyone else i knew also liked pokemon, digimon, anime, DBZ, gaming etc... And I and my friend wou,ld actually print our own DBZ cards.

Jokes usually came from how i looked and spoke at the time

I'm saying.



If this thread is a representation of how black people treat other black people with "nerd" interests, you can see why this guy feels some type of way.

 

[Iceson Beckford]

I’ve been through this but everyone goes through some social shyt.

Thank God I never turned into one of them Blavity black thinkpiece nikkas

Funniest thing is that I’m not even a nerd, just look like one

Bro, no one forces you to read these articles.

And interracial dating? I've seen c00ns, nerds, super thugs, athletes, etc. date interracially. It's not exclusive to Donald Glover types
