Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the “The Brown Sugar Awards.” As this is not “The White Sugar Awards,” this show will not be starting on time. Shirley Chisholm, the first Black person to run for president of the United States—and aside from being dead—is not a finalist. Here’s why. Black culture does not celebrate the college graduate. Black culture celebrates the House of Corrections graduate. It’s the prodigal son syndrome. And my people got it bad. Our brown sugar does not get a pat on her head for being good. She gets a party (and a pat on the booty) for being so bad she’s good! Besides, here at Blackbiter.com, we don’t have security for all those Nobel Prize-winning dignitary types.
A superior blog that looks down its self-righteous nose at American pop culture and hypocrisy.
