The Blackknowledgement: How black people survive!
Blacknowledgement adj:
This is the process by which a Black person acknowledges another black person's presence in a social environment where black people are scarce or otherwise absent. These environments include places and events like: lacrosse parties, ice hockey games, Russia and The Ku Klux Clan Annual General Meeting.
Blacknowledgement is a show of solidarity and support indicating to another black person that you understand their social anxiety and feel their inner torment. It is a non-verbal communication and confers the notion that you too are having your brain and self identity slowly eaten away by songs like “Pour some sugar on me” and “Sweet home Alabama”.
In many such cases, a non-black person who witnesses a blacknowledgement will mistake it for familiarity of some kind. They will often ask,
“hey you know that guy right?”'
to which the response will be...
“Nope. Never seen him before!”
This will be confusing for the non-black entity since the blacknowledgement may often be accompanied by a brief conversation and perhaps an exchange of relevant goods or services. It may have the general appearance of acquaintance.
A blacknowledgement can be executed using anything from a simple nod to a well executed six part, click and snap, integrated handshake. In certain situations, a blacknowledgement may be used as a territorial gesture because black dudes tend to be very protective of the white friends. This is because their white friends are important assets that can be used for such things as getting quicker service in a store or speaking to police should the need arise. In addition to that, there is only ever room for one "token black person" in any giving environment because it is very embarrassing to be caught by your fellow black man playing such a role.
OBSERVE!!
