He performed like a broadway performer, I think you are getting him mixed up with JD. Do you know anything about broadway performers? As far as all about performance you don't want to admit it pale face types but color does play a part in the way you react to folks.
As a person of color who has gone to school in perdominately white schools and is well traveled I know for a fact white people tend to not know how to act around black people. We get subjected to black speak, as if we can only understand some broken wanna be ghetto slang, we get this along with the so called I'm the hip white guy wanting to be considered down handshake, but the asian next to me gets the hey dude, with the regular handshake.
You should see the surprised looks on your face when you see our music collections and there isn't a stitch of R&B or hiphop.
Let's face it we are hard on our own harder than you would think and when I saw Ty initally I was like what is this brutha doing? Then he was up there acting like a very non fake rock and roll guy. He was not a R&B guy but a rock and roll guy. We know our own.
If he sucked I would say hey bruthaman you stunk but he was as good if not better than the two white boys remaining.
As far as minorities not getting what we want. I think when you as a majority class have always gotten what you want without batting an eye and always blaming your forefathers or saying it wasn't me that is what makes me ill. Then all of a sudden you want to come new like it wasn't my generation,yet you keep perpetuating the bs.
The new folks of color aren't falling for the trip anymore, we see through the trifling vail.
It all comes down.
