Yes, I've heard a lot about the "DMV" area and all of the Black wealth there. I had a girlfriend from Silver Springs Maryland. A great deal of gratitude should be bestowed upon the late great Marion Barry because he's the main reason for most of the wealth that Black people in the D.C. and DMV area have! He was a strong and intelligent Alpha male from the old school who didn't pull punches or take shit from the racists. He knew them and what it took to get along with and defeat them if necessary. And like Coleman Young of Detroit....he also knew the White folks he needed to get along with and made sure NOT to piss them off while fighting for his people! Too many of the younger generation of Black politicians are so naive and fall for the ole "can't we all get along" okey-doke. They end up selling out much of the wealth and property the older generations fought for while the young Whites and Latinos and Asians move in to gobble it up. As far as they're concerned, any White man who sits down to smoke some weed with them MUST be a "cool" White man, and they'll sell that devil the family farm.

LOL! No you don't sound bourgeoise, in fact, quite of few comments were similar to yours. That's it! It is a prank. However, most of the comments show that many thought it was a genuine fall forward. The couple has done other skits, but this one went viral.

richardmurray Man you be asking some good and interesting questions....lol. 1)in the usa, are black populaces in cities better off when the black populace is not the majority populace in a city? This may seem a little strange but I've noticed that Black people tend to do better in cities that either have a VERY HIGH Black majority....like over 70%.....or a VERY SMALL Black minority....like under 10%. In cities like Detroit, Atlanta, Memphis.....where we make up a clear dominant majority. There may be a lot of crime and some poverty, but COLLECTIVELY we tend to do quite well. Most Black folks in these cities have money and are either working class, professional class, or rich. The reason being, we tend to be CLEARLY incharge politically, socially, legally, etc....so we can protect ourselves and our wealth better. I also notice that where we make up less than 10% of the population, I notice we collectively do well also though I'm not completely sure why. One guess is that White folks don't see us as much of a threat because of the small population, so they leave us alone. But when we make up the mid-range of say 15%-65%.....conditions for Black folks in most of those cities aren't ideal. A lot of crime, gangs, incarceration, high unemployment, etc.... Black self-hatred is also high in many of those areas. If you look at Washington D.C. for example.....and maybe @ProfD can attest to this..... Although problems did exist, collectively speaking Black people did GREAT in Washington D.C. when it was 80% and even 70% Black and we were clearly in charge. Once gentrification took hold and they started shipping more Latinos and Whites in and the Black population went down to 60% and close to 50%.....regardless as to how well the city itself may be doing....things got much worse for the Black population. Same with cities like St.Louis and New Orleans. 2)in the usa, in cities, are black communities better off with a DOS/FBA majority or with a plurality between DOS/FBA plus Caribbeans<many islands> plus Continentals< many countries>? Hmmmmm.......I can't really say. I want to say that the diversity of Black people makes us better because it broadens our horizons and makes us stronger. However given how Black people get along with eachother, having more Black folks from different backgrounds just gives them another reason to mistrust and fight amongst eachother.
