As a black guy this picture makes me really happy. I see way to many pictures from this era of white people doing terrible things to black people, seeing some positivity is a welcome change. They just look so happy.

The biggest sin the majority of whites committed against blacks back then was remaining neutral in public discussions, while loving almost every contribution blacks made to society and the arts.

Apathy is way more evil a thing than hate.

I think those same guys were at the show I went to last night. Art needs people like that.

From the title, it sounds like you're criticizing the white guys in the front row. They're just really into the music, just like the performer lying on the ground playing. I think it's awesome they are digging the music like that, and I bet Big Jay appreciated the interaction.

lol, nah. I'm pretty much a shoegazing jaded stoic at most concerts, but occasionally I flip out like this kids and let it all go. It's always funny to go to shows and see the people in the front row that lose their shit for the whole concert. Don't read too much into the title. Just having a laugh.

This is me at a music venue, too. Except I am saying to the random stranger next to me, "He's fuckin killin it!"

In the original movie "DOA" there's some jazz club moments like this showing whitey really digging the scene, Daddy-O. Quite amusing, in a cornball fashion. (If anyone knows what I'm talking about... then that'll be a first.)

These days you get basically the same thing at a Tyler The Creator concert, only with more stage-diving and face-kicking.

[–]Threadmonkey -5 points-4 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

if reddit thought me something it's that black people are far more racist than any of the white people they complain about and see themselves a victim of.

And that's how you justify hating all black people indiscriminately. Well done. ಠ_ಠ
