See. Now this is What Happens When White People Appropriate POC Aphorisms.

Oh Kyra--Can I call you that? Since we are homies now? Come on, gimme a dap. And that's "give me" with a little extra "flava"

(Sidenote: Cornflake Girl I think this is your third or fourth post in the Common Room. You are officially {drumroll please!} a blogger. {audience applausa} Look out world....)

(Sidenote #2: TJ Holmes is a true cutie.)

1. this was brilliant!!!! (and is also the reason i have no interest in being a network or local anchor...)

2. TJ is aight, he has big ears though, Kis.... i love when he said "I talk about this alot with guys i know" as in black-people-from-my block-you-don't-know-Kyra...lol... classic

3. Bill Clinton had swagga...tell me I'm wrong I dare you!!!!

4. white people didn't even know about this song until they heard it on the slumdog millionaire trailer

5. we should all be very afraid that this was a news story. as the huffington post points out, there IS a 24 hour news cycle, so some fluff is to be expected... but watch the clip again and look at the ticker... there IS real news happening... but legislation gets the ticker while kyra fist bumps...::sigh::

my favorite part is her subtle hand gestures when she first starts talking to tj. she looks like she's emulating an early 90's rap artist.

i hope tj went home and had a meltdown like the guy in 'bamboozled'.
