I've never felt more special and appreciated when he started talking about the black nerd girls with the natural hair and Steven Universe interest and whatnot
My wifey is a black nerd and I showed her this...she had already watched it three times! This was so perfect, thank you!
"...Or when friends went off the air for white people." This dudes hilarious
Denver-Rose Harmon he really is. I love him 😂
This poem made me feel so much better about being a black nerd
Makeda the tall drink same
Oh yeah the nerd off...thank goodness someone said it. Th's how I start "um actually" an people look at me like did this black girl just correct me? lol
Same! I want to see one person come up to me with any Star Trek argument, and as soon as I hit them with the “umm actually” they just go pale
As a black nerd, I loved this poem😂
This is me! Ugh, thank God someone gets it. I was told I wasn't Black enough because I don't eat hot sauce. Umm... can you recite 64 Beyonce songs with "no problem, big fella"? Didn't think so.
Where's all my black nerds?

I would like to request Button Poetry to have English captions, or include the written version of the poem in the description box. It would really help a lot of people, I'm sure.
I feel the full effect of the poem when I focus on understanding the meaning behind it rather than what is being said.
Thank you.
We'd love to; it's one of the main goals of our Patreon page. If you're able, please help support! bit.ly/buttonpatreon
Javeria Jamali Yes thank God someone else thinks so
Javeria Jamali there is English captions

As a Black Nerd Girl with natural hair and a love for Converse and Steven Universe I appreciate the recognition 😊😊
Surayyah Muhammad *swoon*
"Batman's superpower is white privilege. That has nothing to do with this poem, it just needed to be said."
Facts
"all black everything, because thats what you've always been everything. From chuck taylors to lightsabers from press start to game... Over" best lines ever
"Batman's superpower is white privilege" hahahahaha oh my god yes
I'm dating a quote on quote "black nerd" and he is so amazing. May not be the coolest but he is the sweetest! Ladies give these guys a chance. Lol this has nothing to do with the poem 😂😂😂😂 He is magical, a comedian and poet in one! Teach me your waysssssssss 😆
I have always been such a huge fan of his, he never fails to put a smile on my face. But this poem feels different somehow, like he looks so much happier for some reason. Thanks for helping us all hit Continue Omar
I was there :D Peep my "yaaaaasss" at 2:07. Should have said hello to him when I had the chance. Natural hair nerdy black girl with over powering social anxiety :'(
As a female black nerd this poem really speaks to me😊🤗
God the shirt reference. I'm dying
Edit:And now he talked about Game of Thrones. This is my favourite poem ever
Maria Sousa YES LISA SIMPSON IS MY ROLE MODEL
I have natural hair and want to converse about converse
I really needed this poem. It is indeed hard to be a black nerd... But yeah loved the one about black, nerdy girls ♥
This is what I've been waiting for all of my life
No Anime references? Tsk
Transient Bliss 😂😂 That's what I was thinking.
Transient Bliss Bro he rocking Mugen's tattoo from Samurai Champlo what more references do you need?! 😂
IKR. All my friends (who just so happened to be black nerds) would get hype if you talked shit about anime. Anime was the only reason we’d go to school. (Ie.-conversing about the latest episode of naruto and other anime..)
Hm nurotu wouldn't understand his comedy lol
He didn’t even put a boondocks reference in there lmaooo (even though it’s not anime)
The passion when he recites is awesome.
Loved watching this live! Cant wait for next months button live
Omg! I am living for this! Yaaas
Is this nigga actually rocking Mugen's tatoo's from Samurai Champloo?
2:11 exactly. This is the biggest mood
I love this already
Lol loved this! Black nerd and proud!
This spoke to me on a whole other level, I had to keep pausing just so I could process that there are other black nerds that feel the same way
One of my favorite poems ever.
when he described the black nerd girl he sounded like he was specifically describing me😂😂😂
Can we just appreciate the fact that this guy is legit hilarious!!!!!!!
Loaded lux reference! You gon get this work
"when friends went off the air for white people" TBH
Steven Universe😍

Toni Reynolds and in mine as well
Super dope.
#Waytootrue
I’m the girl someone hit me up 😭 cuz I can’t seem to find this guy
He should've ended it with, "From press start, to Game... Over. Thanks for playing." That would've killed it much more.xD cause that's the epitome of EVERY Nintendo game ending without the thank you for playing you didn't win.xP
The dnd references had me shook
"Batman's superpower is white privelege" I just collapsed into a fit of giggles omg
he got sooooo cute
You are hilarious!
STEVEN UNIVERSE
It's so hard being a black nerd.
When he's describing you as a black nerd girl . Thought I was cool
"Ok naima, i know its freaking 5 am and u have watche 20 poetry just tonight, this has to be the last one, i promise"
_To my self
I have used "Batman's superpower is white privilege" in SO MANY arguments during school. I have left SO MANY classmates and teachers speechless since most of them believe I either can't think for myself or don't have opinions worth a shit :)
