Yeah, everything that has been said about Antoine Dodson that could be said, has been said.
Except the original interview - his anger and his fear - his eyes - he is really afraid.
And then a couple of white guys tried to capitalize on it by making the song. Only they ended up having to pay him for his words - they weren't just allowed to take the tragedy of the near rape of his sister and keep the profits for themselves.
And Antoine Dodson used that money to move his family to a residence in a safer neighborhood. He was featured on the BET movie awards where every celebrity present sang his song along with him and now he may be getting his own reality tv show.
He is also a gay man, out and proud.
A little hood, but a brave man, definitely a good brother, and working his 15 minutes.
I'm late to the party, too, but here's my conclusion.
The internet can now be cancelled. Shut down. Because this is the best thing ever. THIS. EVER. Nothing can come top this, not by, like, orders of magnitude.
Guess I was late to the party, too. But glad I finally made it because that there is gold.

ReplyDeleteHow do Republicans complain about death panels again?

ReplyDeleteHe's so afraid that he goes on Tosh.o for a "Web Redemption" & buys himself a few more minutes of fame.
Outrageous indignation aside, I have it saved to my YouTube faves for emergency viewing on my phone ;)
I meant in the initial interview, not everything that has come after. If you look at his eyes while he's talking...
