Cool. Stupid question, but what's the name of your podcast (because I can't click on your profile for whatever reason) and also, what platforms do you host your podcast on?
MY BROTHER!!! I've been a Network Technician for almost 30 years... I'm definitely a techie, I love comics, I like some anime (Afro Samurai is my joint)...
It's nice to be apart of a space for Black Empowered Blerds. What ways do you think would help separate the N**ga Nerds from us Blerds?
It’s simple. If you on here cooning you get bounced out. You will not be safe here if you’re a sell out. There needs to be no separation beyond that. When you come around us we may be talking about comics but we won’t be cooning it up.
True. Sorry if that was a dumb question. I guess it will have to come down to it when we thin the herd more. Until then, let's keep exposing the sell outs.
We don’t even need to waste time on exposing them. We need to spend time pushing our own agenda.
Very true. I only ask because I've only ever seen Black nerd-centered YouTube channels that are sell out playgrounds. Never really came across any and talked to a specific individual, just wondering about the signs to watch out for, but when it comes down to it, I guess it's pretty obvious. I want to help Blerd platforms and spaces that empower through a B1 setting and empower through the ways of a what a real Blerd is supposed to be. Especially once I get my money up.
Yeah. Exposing them is a waste of time. But we just need to know who's real and who isn't, is what I meant.
I feel that’s a good start. When Japanese and whites portray us it’s always in some bozo brute role like a Barrett in FF7 or Balrog in Street Fighter.
I'm a techie, definitely a "square" ...actually, a Blerd raising a Blerd lol (the demarcation is not that clear though) ... If there are any "Blerds" in programming or tech, I believe technology will be a great equalizer ... If you can program some fintech , something to be used in the justice system (how can we stop lying in law enforcement, or use a type of validation to enforce officers and everybody involved are being truthful) ...
I’ve got to look at Kid Gravity— never heard of it. The Swarthy Nerd seemed kinda lame though, last I checked. No disrespect, the site just seemed very undeveloped. Any idea where I can find more Black programmers?
Not sure where to find any. I'm sure there are plenty of programmers on this site, though.
Yeah his videos look pretty cool but that sub count kinda scares me. Might just be me but really popular Blerds always seem like they might be potential N**ga Nerds. Don't know, I'll have a look, thank you.
There was a thread on programmers in this community.
Have you ever hear him speak on Black issues? I like B1 Ski-Kid automatically give a side eye when I see huge crossover capabilities. Marques Brownlee was a great example of this. He got to a point where he couldn‘t ignore the George Floyd protests and when he spoke on it he gave the most benign word salad of a message. I could not take that smurf looking nigga seriously after that. He did not stand up for Black people at all. If you’re pro-Black and you’re riding up the ranks YT will start shadow banning you.
Well if you look at his (sexual?) partner you’ll see precisely why. Look him up on instagram. Quinn Howard. It kinda pisses me off tbh. Like your suspicions are totally warranted. 👍🏾
Damn. I must’ve missed it. If you can, mind linking it in this thread?
My wife and I Mrs. Black Radical consider ourselves blerds. From simulations to anime to old fashion reading. We are both college educated. If that counts towards anything.
We all can contribute, ... A little, a lot , just do something :) ... I honestly bought it, but haven't read it yet ..
