What a day

Today was eye opening. I always knew people were complicated, often over sensitive, flawed, sometimes overreact but the new kind of person I'm coming across now is just wowie zowie powie, unbelievable. He's a TNBM. The New Black Male. I'm 22, and part of the new generation of blacks coming up now who have to find their own identity in a world where there really is no unique identity for blacks so I'm of course just winging it and struggling to make sense of my place in the world, but this dude I work with is all sorts of messed up. He's a lot like me but worse, a halo junkie, socially inept to ridiculous levels, extremely sensitive and defensive, and dare I say stupid but just doesn't know it. I want to stay humble and not break this guy's fragile ego but the more I get to know the guy the more I just want to bring him down to earth and make him realize he's not impressing anyone with his articulate speech or anything. It's so annoying. I'm well spoken myself, but I know my limits, especially public speaking, which I know needs polishing. That's the worst kind of black person, one who thinks they're white in the sense that they're more nerdy than the rest of the herd. You're not fooling anyone, pal. You're just as dumb as anybody... What the hell... I guess this is just something I have to get used to seeing.
