Hilarious Black Dude Answers White People's Most Burning Questions

Consider him a "melanin encyclopedia complete with all the answers that have boggled white people for centuries."

"Have you ever had a question you wanted to ask the one black friend that you know, but refrained because you didn't want to run the risk of sounding racist?"

That's the question Gabriel Green asked at the College Union Poetry Slam Invitational finals in March. Green, a student at Eastern Michigan University, gives hilarious responses to common mysteries he assumes white people are dying to solve. For example, why are black people so good at basketball?

His explanations are funny, but also serve to demystify the black experience for his white peers.

On his list of questions is, "Do black people hate all white people?" to which Green says, "Of course we don't, we just hate the people who perpetuate or refuse to acknowledge the history of social, political, and racial f**kery placed against us."

And yes, Green reminds white audience members, if you have to ask if something is racist... it is.

The competition included several other talented poets that performed pieces about the challenges of black experience. Head over to Button Poetry to watch those.
