Of course! But it’s also important to listen to the side of those represented and try to understand their point of view. I can see how some black men and women will feel hesitant about the intent behind someone saying “I find black men entertaining” when it comes from a white person. Especially in the context of a culture that often portrayed them in certain stereotypes and roles. Respecting any group of people is respecting their own feelings about something that includes them. :)
Because black men are typically characterized as being hyper-serious, stoic and hypermasculine, which does not leave much room for silly goosery. Black men engaging in whimsy means a lot of good things.
I love this, so much. The whimsy, the artistry, hell they made excellent use of limited camera angles and field of depth. 10 out of 10, no notes, would giggle again.
No notes.
Fair enough, guess it didn’t catch anyone’s eye.
CINEMA
Absolute
Black men doing silly shit like this is my fetish
I hope you are black
I’m not meant to be anything else 😘
It's always the ones sans checkmark talkin bout "who do you know here?"
What’s the checkmark all about as I don’t have one either so I’m doing recon as to it get called out 😉
Years ago you could submit a picture of yourself to mods to verify that you're black so that you could participate on country club posts
You still can. Think I did mine last year?
Nah man, that's how they get ya.
Thats what im saying. Fuck a check mark, I rather be safe.
Sounds like some covert shit for the feds to easily know who’s conspiring and who aint
Melanin verification
Always.
Ngl, that’s a tuff response
Even though we have a lot of issues, I love us. I want to be reborn as black in every life.
I agree but also fuck society in general, so in the next life, I'll just be a crow or something so I don't have to deal with shit like rent and such
Right, being human the next round is a no for me, I need a break
Why we thinking small, I figure with our oppression points up we due for semi-deity status at least ✊🏿
I wanna try out native Australian. Those dudes got a cool vibe about them
LETS GO!!!..LOL BIG HUGS
Nigga, are you?
Why? I’m white and I love this shit too. I miss vine.
Probably because of the historical entertainment connotations of black men being used as gimmicks in old time media.
These guys are being entertaining because they probably enjoy making people happy, there is nothing wrong with joy.

Fockkk all that, reparations now
All I got is $3.50
Wait a second..
The important distinct here, and in every discussion that boils down to 'why is it wrong when I do it, but okay when they do it, is agency.

I think we all need a bit of nonjudgemental whimsicality in our lives. I love seeing other humans being carefree like this, gives me joy
Lmfaooo
Silly is the best unintentional sexy because it gives us all permission to just be.
Goofy goobers are the best kind 🥰
You're like Hitler in reverse. Reltih!
I feel like I’ll summon the Old Ones if I say the reverse. Or just make my furniture float 😂
What artistry

We trying to put price tags on people again?
I thought they were gonna edit it to the coolest thing ever 😏
Not the running on the arpeggio. . . . . .
(see how I want y'all to know I know what arpeggio is so I feel so smart? 😆)
Lol much better than my comment that reads “piano tinkle” 😂
OMG ... I don't know why I like piano tinkle better 🤣
I thought my first car was an ‘84 Arpeggio but now I’ll have to recheck that.
Your friendly neighborhood "uM aKsHuAlLy 🤓" nigga here: that's technically not an arpeggio...
It’s a piano tinkle.
Cracked me up, that part
What did you say, bro?
Running on the fast.. piano.. thing,.. bro
I love hood ballet
Amazing. So graceful.
This is def one that I would like to see footage from someone seeing these guys and pulling out their camera
The bts would be HILarious! I was literally just imagining these two planning this and laughing their asses off
🤌🏾
Are they in france? That’s a nice little courtyard stoop thing.

Ah fuck now I can’t delete instagram.
I had the same thought lol, looks like France

Yup, the guy in the black tracksuit looks like an African immigrant in Paris
Ah fuck that explains the impeccable développé and arms in fifth position.
Yeah, I was thinking somewhere in Europe....
As an old man that is corny and weird I love seeing the youngsters being corny and weird. It warms my cold, dying heart.
Seeing them breach generational boundaries is so beautiful, so courageous
Sitting at mama lap hearing that Young and Restless theme song.😊
I would watch an entire series, A Soulful Interpretation of Television Theme Songs from the 80s & 90s.
If they do Perfect Strangers, I will set my phone up to play that video as my alarm. I’ll never start the day in a bad mood again 🥹
👆👆
I'm so happy that this is the first thing I saw upon waking. Such art.

Incredible!
The little run with the potato tinkle really got me lol
Potato tinkle = piano tinkle. You are making this even more enjoyable
Bonappletea!!!
You got me 🤣
Lol oops!
The joy. The freedom. The oddly French sensibility mixed with North Philly/Marcy Ave fuckery. It all did my heart good.
also, peace to my grandma and that midday CBS line up
They look like they're having so much fun
I just know this stemmed from them finding these matching track suits on a random trip through the mall...can't prove it but I'd bet money on it.
This is why the internet bills get paid.
Misty approved

I love this, so much. The whimsy, the artistry, hell they made excellent use of limited camera angles and field of depth. 10 out of 10, no notes, would giggle again.
I absolutely love guys being silly like this. I am very pro-whimsy
I always like why couldn’t I be a bystander when pale film stuff like this? So funny. No I get to be around when it’s a Karen having a meltdown.
This... is art. This... is beautiful. 🥹
Delightful
Top shelf

The Young and the Restless

A ballet! Cool.
Is that the dude who looked easy to draw?
Honestly....when the YatR theme hit, and they started doing them, it was amazing. Like a wrestler surprisingly coming back after years.
That shit was beautiful
Can this YN term please leave our culture. Why do we continue to use it?
Pure cinema
Magical
Can't take it!

Not only is this delightful and gorgeously done, I love how the leaf in the front is a kind of breadcrumb to the order things were actually filmed.
Pookie from 5th Ave says "A Tour de Force. A imaginative interpretation of modern dance against a familiar that will leave you breathless."
Skinny Rick over on Toomps says "Four stars. Magical. They bring the music into a new realm."
Auntie Boone says "See it three or four times, it's just that good."
All that's missing is a cameo by Victor Newman. 🤓
