OK, I'm FULLY aware that it's Black History Month. I mean how can I forget, especially with those Dr. Cornel West promos airing on MTV every 6.45 seconds. The one where Ludacris gives his dissertation on black history is particularly hysterical ( Cuz I'm black ya'll). Anyhow, the point I'm trying to make is, lately I've been a little self-conscious about the way I talk. Ever since the "Deonn, you sound whiter than usual" comment was made, I made an effort to uhm, I guess "urbanize" my tone. Then I thought to myself what would W.E.B Dubois do? He would realize that the way he talks is a reflection of his intelligence not a measure of his blackness. So I felt better, but then Kanye West posted this link on his blog:

A majority of the things listed, are my everyday obsessions:
#39 Netflix
#44 Public Radio (Fresh Air is the effin truth yo!)
#43 Plays
#35 The Daily Show/Colbert Report
#54 Kitchen Gadgets (who doesn't love salad spinners?!)
#52 Sarah Silverman (Everyone loves Sarah Silverman, EVERYONE!!)
#48 Whole Foods and Grocery Co-ops ( Weaver's Way, holla!)
So, am I white? AM I? or just republican?
