So I was in Starbucks yesterday....
The UC Berkeley location, with Ken
And we were debating the merits of me calling myself either Negro or colored.
Somehow the conversation veered in the direction of me saying "I'm Not White"
Loudly
In Starbucks
in front of a good 40 people
full of reasonably intelligent UC students
I swear I heard someone say "Duh" in the Background
So, we all have shameful moments, even the creator of this blog
The "I'm Not White" statement lead to the following IM conversation
Larryunioncity [6:33 PM]: this ninja lives in a very nice town tho
MsFuqua81 [6:33 PM]: looks like it could be berkeley almost
Larryunioncity [6:33 PM]: I know
Larryunioncity [6:34 PM]: I'm looking for the Starbucks
Larryunioncity [6:34 PM]: maybe at some point i'll be on camera saying "I'm Note White!"
Larryunioncity [6:34 PM]: not*
MsFuqua81 [6:35 PM]: that's what i was hoping for
MsFuqua81 [6:35 PM]: uh...wishing
MsFuqua81 [6:35 PM]: lol
Larryunioncity [6:36 PM]: you know..I think if I don't show up
Larryunioncity [6:36 PM]: I might have to do my own video
MsFuqua81 [6:38 PM]: you need to!

Larryunioncity [6:38 PM]: I think I do
Larryunioncity [6:38 PM]: I need to come up with a few versus
Larryunioncity [6:38 PM]: the chorus is set
Larryunioncity [6:38 PM]: "I'm Not White"
Larryunioncity [6:39 PM]: Background vocals sing "duh"
MsFuqua81 [6:39 PM]: the rest could be like...spoken word
Larryunioncity [6:39 PM]: LMAO
MsFuqua81 [6:39 PM]: ...have you heard...spoken word....have...you...heard

MsFuqua81 [6:43 PM]: naw...it was the best thing i've ever heard.
MsFuqua81 [6:44 PM]: he said it in different ways for like 2 minutes...i was doing my best to keep the laughter inside...but i know I was shaking dede, cuz i was holding onto her doing the silent one
Larryunioncity [6:44 PM]: his parents must be so proud
MsFuqua81 [6:45 PM]: he was like 25...in 2000
Larryunioncity [6:46 PM]: please tell me he was uncolored....please
MsFuqua81 [6:49 PM]: he was black
MsFuqua81 [6:49 PM]: afrocentric
Larryunioncity [6:49 PM]: ok
Larryunioncity [6:49 PM]: it's final
So yes, it can be said that the purpose of Negrohallofshame is to report and compile instances of , preferably humourous, cultural events relating to the "colored" experience. I will keep tabs on cultural events. ( I can't decide who will be my first Target, Diana Ross or Flava Flav) and if you would like to submit content for commentary, you are allowed to do so.
Please and thank you for visting
Y'all come back now ya hear!

Here are some possible topics your devoted fans might enjoy reading about in the future: KKK rallies in Austin, Bernie Mac, Dave Chappelle's role in Con-Air, the ratio of black to white players on Mad TV vs. Sat. Night Live, fusion gumbo, Christian Bale, turning 31 in the gay community, the merits of steam frying chicken rather than just a straight fry, and, of course, mentos and diet coke.
It might take a little finagling to make all those topics relate to the theme of your blog, but I would love it - maybe all those topics could be one fusion gumbo blog.
