The Brooklyn Comedy Company is proud to present the 13th installment of the series “This Week in Blackness.” After the historic election of President-Elect Barack Obama, it seems that some people don’t like the idea of referring to him as BLACK. Comedian and host of TWiB, Elon James White, has something to say about that.

Your show is awesome! This episode is awesome! Thank you so much, this show just keeps getting better. I laugh so hard… cause what you say is true. You keep it real and tell it like it is and and you’re funny with it at the same time.
Also, I love the jacket. So awesome. Good luck finding one with Snuffy on the back. :>

Yo, even BEFORE you started going into the AWESOMENESS of things, I thought to myself: “That jacket is pretty awesome”
“His voice SOUNDS like oppression”
Yeah. . .kinda lost it at that point. Good thing I’m alone in the office.
SNUFFY SON!

I can’t watch the video yet, but thank you for the teaser statement. If this video is about him being called biracial or a person of color I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN! That is so frustrating. I saw on the news one of the kids arrested for murdering an immigrant was referred to as “biracial”. Not necessary.
I only go into the specifics of being biracial in my stand-up when I’m explaining the challenges to developing an identity growing up. Every other hour of my day I’m BLACK. Thanks TWIB.

Keep bringing the awesome–Brooklyn style! And yes, the jacket works and just for that, you need to get a spot on Sesame Street.

Another great segment! If anyone ever gives me that “he’s not black, he’s half white” crap again I know where to send them.

I love, love, love your show! I found you through JJPolitics and I’ve been laughing ever since!! Please keep bringing the truth. And yea…I’m a researcher in Mexico and one university newspaper referred to Obama as a “circumstantial” Black person…ummm…same madness, different country.
Best,
Danielle aka, much like Obama, not a circumstantial Black person because I went to an Ivy League…Black IVY POWER! lol

You are a mother fucking genius. Marry me. Not for love or anything, just to have a super-sarcastic baby. Not that you’re bad-looking. This isn’t going well. But you’re still a fucking genius. And yes, I had to curse.
