Antoine Dodson


First of all check his latest video from the George Lopez show.

Now how should we as black people really feel about this video and similar videos of this nature. Is it a pure mockery of the black population or comedy?

Mockery - I feel like some of the things that he say in the video, are just misrepresentations of most black people life styles and view points. The Koolaid comment is just a mockery of the fact that most niggas love “RED Koolaid” granted most of us do, is not the point. I wonder who wrote the script for this video. Is it acceptable for us black folk to take scripts and videos like this and willingly accept the fact that it will make a mockery of our population? Should we as black people participate in entertainment of this nature? I think not, I think that because we participate in the mockery it makes for it to be an easier or more acceptable topic to discuss among other race. Now I do find the video to be slightly comical, I also find it to have some malice undertone. But I watched it, I laughed so do I have room to talk against entertainment of this nature and the constitutional right of freedom of speech? I think not, if Antoine Dodson is cool with making a fool of himself than I am too

Comedy – This will be short, I think its funny I laughed and I also laughed at his previous videos. So I do think its comedy, cant say that I would participate in the mockery but I cant knock his hustle, so it is what it is.


Remember “Be yourself - everyone else is taken.” At least you don't look like this...
