This is a man who certainly did not walk off the plantation yesterday and I am lovin’ him more and more by the minute. Not only is he an angry negro but he cannot stop talkin’ about how he was done wrong. In other words, he’s starting to sound crazy and, being a crazy negro myself, I just love shit like this.
This week, Isaiah had this to say:
“Well, it didn’t help me on the set that I was a black man who wasn’t a mush-mouth Negro walking around with his head in his hands all the time. I didn’t speak like I’d just left the plantation and that can be a problem for people sometime,” he says. “I had a person in human resources tell me after this thing played out that ’some people’ were afraid of me around the studio. I asked her why, because I’m a 6-foot-1, black man with dark skin and who doesn’t go around saying ‘Yessah, massa sir’ and ‘No sir, massa’ to everyone? It’s nuts when your presence alone can just scare people, and that made me a prime candidate to take the heat in a dysfunctional family.’’
Preach on, preach on! I could not have said it better myself. Stay strong my brotha and let this be a lesson to you crackers out there: the blacker the berry the more likely you are to get a cotton bush thrown in your mu’fuckin’ face.
