   He is…the black William Hung. Different race, different set of stereotypes, but the joke is ultimately on him and on the audience.

   The difference is though, is that he actually got paid. How ironic is it that after complaining about black stereotypes, he willingly submits to portraying them (okay, as a joke) for a buck?

   Dude you don’t even have to be GOOD to sell out.

   I’m not saying I ain’t laugh though.

   You know if you listen closely to his lyrics there is an actual deeper meaning behind them.

    I know adam (the boy behind the persona) in real life… and the most offensive part of ALL of this chocolate rain nonsense is that adam is afraid of black people. Chocolate Rain was, in many parts, about his OWN racism.

    He has frequently (and offensively) tried to make clear the distinction between himself– and “those people.” He has claimed to not understand why people treat him like a black person when he doesn’t identify that way. (He actually runs around calling himself a mulatto). He doesn’t listen to “that type of music,” wear “those types of clothes,” or talk “like that.” His words. Not mine.

    And here he is, shucking and jiving for the man. What makes this even more sad is that he is in one of the top PhD programs in the field. He is well educated about misogyny and racism in the media. He know about the politics of repesentation– and here he is: A well educated, gay, black man… in a video with booty-shakin’-hos… wearing gold fronts. I really hope that his (black) mother is proud.

    Also– what’s up with the chocolate milk bukake? Am I the only one that thinks this is beyond degrading?

    Chocolate Rain has to mean something scatological. I never heard of this sad accident of a person until now…any links to his previous idiocy? (I am doing some homework and I need a laugh)
