Can I Get an Amen??

Not every black person is funny... can sing.. dance.. cook... have style.. is cool... has an overactive sex drive... etc.

With that said... because not every black person IS all of those things... the guy in this video is one of these things simply because he isn't ANY of them but he sure as hell knows how to praise the Lord.

Can I get an Amen?

HALLELUJAH!

About the Writer

This concept came up while having a discussion with some friends who are of a lighter shade, hair texture and fondness for rock music. Okay, I have a fondness for rock music too, but I digress.

These friends tend to ask me random questions about being black. I don't have a problem answering the questions - I look at it as a teachable moment, however, I can NOT answer for all black people because people in general are NOT all alike. What I can provide is a view from a black man who grew up with both parents being married, a slew of siblings, having gone to college at a predominately white institution and being a member of a predominantly white fraternity. Might I add that it was in West Virginia? With that said... the view from my lenses may NOT be your prescription!

So, just sit back and enjoy the journey of the sometimes ridiculous questions and sometimes heartwarming stories.
