I went with "black/comedian/cultural critic" and put Thurston's name in the description. Since I didn't know who he was, I wanted to be sure that others do now.
In reply to this comment by griefer_queafer:
BB, thanks for the thoughtful reply (and again, for the awesome post). I didn't mean to excoriate for not knowing who this dude is or anything, I just think that "young black man" can be a little disorienting for people who might not fully appreciate the context and position from which Thurston is speaking to us today. I would never want provide a title for someone's video, but since you asked me, I might just suggest replacing "young black man" with "Baratunde Thurston..." or "Black Comedian/Cultural Critic..." or something like that. But I don't EXPECT you to change it--I was just voicing my (slight) dissent.

Sorry, I had never heard of him. That title came from my anger at my racist uncle who just told me two days ago that the only "good" black people (he didn't use those words) were older. Didn't use the word "uppity" but he might as well have.
Tell me what I should change it to. I am not attached to this title at all.
>> ^griefer_queafer:
Yuck on the title. This "young black man" is a fairly renowned cultural critic and comedian, and his speaking "eloquently" is not all that surprising. Anyway, upvote for the video itself. Thanks for the content (but not necessarily the heading), BB.

as suicide narratives go, this is one of the more subtle and funny ones. appreciate its wry honesty. too many films "dealing" with this topic drift into facile bleakness or over the top humor. instead of the dead, this is a testament to what was left behind, which is in reality all that one can do in the end. *doublepromote
Started school again, so I'm up to my neck in homework and finals right now, which accounts for my low siftage

Woot!
Great find. Never heard of either Cavah or Oldham before.
And it's funny how many times I see guys like Cavah...guys who don't embody what most men think that women want...and yet, they always seem to have somebody to love, and real sweeties, too.

Wish I had a pretty girlfriend to eat mushrooms with again.
