Yours Truly - 0% White
Chappelle's Show is my absolute favorite comedy show.
Do you guys remember the episode in which he talks about musical instruments that each race loves ...
He starts off saying that the postulate that "White People can't dance" isnt true. He further states that every white person will dance wildly to the music of the electric guitar. And surely enough, when Dave gets John Mayer to play a few riffs on his guitar, he gets a few white people to go absolutely bonkers, with some female top shedding and so on ...
He performs similiar experiments with Black and Latino people and discovers that their musical instruments of choice are the Drums and Electric Piano respectively.
I went to a concert today - "Three Doors Down". I had heard a few of their songs before and had never particularly liked them. All of Hard Rock blends into one pile of discordance for me. My boss invited me to go with his family and I hoped that a live show might prove different. This group is supposed to have two of the best electric guitarists in the business - But no such luck - I was busy keeping my Corona glass full and replying to email on my Blackberry :-(
So, I know this for sure - I am 0% White !
But, the possibilities of some Blackness exist - Watch this space for an account of my adventures with Snoop Dogg !
