Unfunny Comedian Jerrod Carmichael Has A New HBO Reality Series

I have mixed feelings about this. Allow me to explain why. I watched his televised stand up comedy show where he came out as gay to his audience. I think it was titled "Rothaniel". I commend him for having the courage to do that but you can still see that he was still internally struggling with it...a lot. So, I somewhat empathize with him for putting himself out there like that especially since I'm not brave enough to come out yet myself.

On the other hand, I never fully understood why some black people exclusively only date white people. In college, there were also some black students who never hung out with other black people. I fully support interracial dating but I only have a problem with someone refusing to consider their own race for both platonic and romantic relationships.

 

Franky, I will speak towards the last part of your post to say that even within a racial community we're not all ethnically or culturally the same. In the USA melting pot, many things have gotten blended together that probably shouldn't be & thus you get blacks that were raised outside blk culture & community or were taught to see/look outside of it. We have black folk who identify more as American than descended from slavery Black & that is along a (social) spectrum. So I don't think Jerod doesn't find black men/people attractive/dateable or got self esteem issues. He just americanized (we all are to some extent) & like what he like when he likes it/physical attraction is funny, specific developmental thing (just like the rest of us)
