Frankie Beverly | Blackfamous | Know Your Meme

Jamila Robinson @JamilaRobinson Scene: Party with a *lot* of black people. I ask the white DJ to play "Before I Let Go." DJ: Blank stare. I double down with Frankie Beverly. DJ: Never heard of him. Me: He'd been a DJ – in America – for 20 years yet that was the 1st time he'd played Frankie Beverly. michaelharriot O @michaelharriot · Dec 13 "Blackfamous" is the gap between black stardom and white anonymity. For instance: The highest possible rating on the "blackfamous" scale would be someone EVERY black person knew but was unknown by EVERY white person. So l ask: Who is the most "blackfamous" person of all time? 6:54 AM · Dec 14, 2019 · Twitter for iPhone

John Legend @johnlegend Replying to @johnlegend and @michaelharriot Btw this reminds me of my wedding. We had a lot of black guests, including my family. But plenty of non black guests as well. Stevie Wonder did an impromptu performance of "Ribbon in the Sky.". I did not know til then that that song was blackfamous. But it definitely was. 11:03 PM · Dec 13, 2019 · Twitter for Android
