Well the month of February has come to an end and I for one
am extremely sad. Why are you sad you may be asking? Well kind reader I’m glad you asked. With the
universe seemingly playing an endless game of “Fucking with black people”
(Shout out to the Black Guy Who Tips) Black History Month
rolled through and holy hot damn…IT WAS THE BLACKEST BLACK HISTORY MONTH OF ALL
TIME! Oh don’t believe me? Allow the old Puma of Chocolate descent to give you
the 5 blackest moments of my favorite month in a long time.
5. Cam Newton and the Carolina Panthers
The new official image of black history month. |
Now while they didn’t win the Super
Bowl (had they this would be number 1) the Panthers and more specifically Cam
Newton were so unapologetically black it made me jump on their bandwagon so
fast I damn near tore an ACL. When in recent history have you ever heard a
quarterback make an analogy about cooking collard greens moments after winning
the then biggest game of his career.
Never change Cam. Never change.
4. The police brutality episode of
‘Blackish’
Seriously watch this monologue from
Anthony Anderson. I don’t think you’ll find a black person that didn’t have
these same feelings.

#TrapCovers
We’ve seen the corny covers of hip hop
songs for years. Well thanks to the beautiful people of Black Twitter those corny
covers have finally met their match. Don’t believe me? I defy you not to get
hyped up at some of these:

2. Beyonce and Formation
The Saturday before the Super Bowl
Beyonce came out and just destroyed the streets with her “Formation” video.
Well surely she wouldn’t come out at the Super Bowl and just hijack Coldplay’s
performance would she? Oh no, that’s exactly what she did. And then on one of
the grandest stages of them all she brought out this black girl magic and young
Puma was all about it. Basically I made
the Blue Ivy face during the entire performance.
When it's black girl time shut up and be glad you're on the ride. |
My condolences to Coldplay who
thought they would be remembered for performing at the halftime show.

Kendrick Lamar at the
Grammy’s.
I mean just look at all this
blackness. I don’t even have words. I do
have this lady’s face which makes me so irrationally happy.

Seriously if
you can look at this and not immediately make an audible awww then you have
literally no soul.
Alright, I'm out. I just have one request...please be gentle March.
