Add liking anime, to the list of things you cant do because youre black

Add being another dumb ass coli poster who couldn’t properly comprehend the point of this thread to the list.

This is a fukking lie. The term came about because dudes wanted to be known for their blackness as nerds for some strange reason. Act like Urkell wasn't a thing. Nerd nikkas been a thing just wanted to say blerd to differentiate theirselves when they in them white spaces. Keep it real nikka.

I mean I don't use it and most people don't I'm a nerd until they talk to me hella but still in my experience most people think nerds are cacs and asians. Yeah some like making it a big deal for them being black nerds but those people do that with many activities.


nikka, who tf wantef to be Urkel? Why is that an example of a cool black nerd? If someone was calling you Urkel they were clowning you.

I grew outta that shyt once I hit middle school

and yes, black folks who tend to like anime, kpop over the age of 14, tend to not have alot of black friends

I got into Anime because the daycare I went to had Cartoon Network on and, at the time, the toonami anime block (back when Moltar was the host) played shyt like Sailor Moon, Gundam Wing, Tenchi Muyo, DBZ, etc. and it kinda evolved from there.

No tokenism, no elitism. Just vibes.

OP is trying to use some weird mental gymnastics to imply that black people liking certain things is a form of white validation.

Its silent signaling.
Black people who prop up anime are signaling to non blacks that they are not like the common blacks. They are not on the black frequency and are signaling comradery with the European. They definitely have been assimilated and not on the frequency at the very least. Might be do to no fault of their own but in some way or fashion they are out of touch and probably have a layer of c00ning somewhere on their person.

You know, the black folk whos not like the rest of them, the “I’m different” folk. Why else would they create and overly use the term Blerd.

IDK about Black nerds but this is how I feel about most Black conservatives, bothsiders, non-voters, and conspiracy brehs.


Whatever is a trend or perceived trend among Black folks, there will always be Black folks that do the opposite just to say they different.


nikkas whole personality be based off of being purposely different like a moody teen and be 35+


Nothing wrong with being naturally different but a lot of nikkas be try-hards.

OP is trying to use some weird mental gymnastics to imply that black people liking certain things is a form of white validation.

"You like anime? Why you acting white for?"
"Why you listening to rock music? Thats white people shyt"
"nikka , we smoke blunts, fukk wrong wit you using bongs?"


Dudes actually be telling me this bullshyt

 

[Dwayne_Taylor]

Blerd means black nerd. It's gatekeeping; needed because CAC nerds and black normies be all up in the conversations saying dumb shyt and not knowing what the f*** theyre talking about.

Anyting else OP is reading into it is just his own insecurities

 

[Cloutius Maximus]

We in a weird space where people feel a need to "sell themselves" on their sm/dating app profiles

Walking a thin line where you dont want to be so different you look like a wierdo but you also want to stand out and not be a boring "NPC"

Most people arent balling or creating dope shyt so they cling to their consumerism as a way to stand out and look interesting

 

[O³ (O cubed)]

No, nikkas have liked anime and have been nerds from the beginning but got bullied.

Nah. Brehs was watching Fist of the North Star, Guyver, Legend of The Overfiend, Devilman, Akira, Ninja Scroll and other shyt and wasn't bullied. It was cool in the early 90s.

You see you can be a normal breh and watch anime, go to clubs speak to girls, listen to other music and different things. Nowadays people want to use the content that they consume to define them rather than it being just entertainment.

 

[YouMadd?]

It’s 2020..... porn stars watch Anime now. No one thinks it is special.
