Imagine, being a standup, respectable, charming, "got-a-future" man and called "corny". This is one of the biggest pitfalls in the black community. Got a future? Going to college? Following your dreams? Corny. But sell some drugs to most likely poison your own community, be a thug, got some court dates coming up? That's a bae material. Imagine.
Nailed it.
Literally bro…disgusting
Especially because those are the men. That build families. I thought that's what's the black community claims to want
This. It's really sad.
We are our worst enemy, and it’s been that way since I was born and like a decade before that (early 2000’s)
I'm black and I was called corny for being on the school’s swimming team😂. Corny just means you aren't acting like a stereotype.
Corny= nonconforming
Exactly or stupid AF
Exactly 🤷🏽♀️
💯. "Corny" means you're not a drug dealer a baller or rapper.
@@CheapGodiva facts I was vlcallrd corny all through high school because I wasn't a pookie or ray ray
As a corny black man on his way to med school. This warms my heart. The get back will come. 😊
Amen, good luck brotha
On my way to medical school too fam, good luck 👍🏾
Proud of you, go ahead and shit on them with your success!
Keep up that drive brother, the best revenge is living well.
🙏🙏🙏
I spent half of my life being called "corny" and "white" because I spoke proper English, made good grades, and I was polite. It does stick with you
Cosigned brotha, this topic hits home for me as well.
my boyfriend would get called “white” // “white boy” as an insult in school, & that’s never sat right with me. In another instance, a black girl told him that she wished he wasn’t white,, because he’s a really handsome guy, but white… like what. Now THAT’S corny. He might be a “white boy” to some people but I’ve never been treated so amazingly by a single person in my life until I met him. I love him truly. Never in my life would I become so shallow to not welcome someone into my life because of their skin color.
Same. I was called and still be called the white black man. Idc what people think of me. I have a passion and will drive to it. Yes I like DC comics, anime, poetry and philosophy. Yes I dress smart casual not the endz way or hood way, that ain’t my style. So F everyone who thought different . Anyone who is reading this just be u.
I find it hilarious how liberal types call someone speaking Standard American English as "speaking white." These people think everything revolves around skin color, obsessed.
Absolutely does!!❤❤
As a corny guy representative, we are happy to claim him.
That’s cringe dude. Similar to calling yourself an alpha or an incel.
Now THIS is corny
@@AwsOm3Fac3 why would another call themselves an incel? tf
Yikes
@@AwsOm3Fac3 Man let the guy make a joke. Sheesh!
The fact that he remembered her right off the bat and what she said back then makes me think she did way more than call him corny. Karma rocks
no karma is beautiful.
No. She probably didn't. He probably wanted to date her and she said he was corny. THATS OK! IF HE NEEDED TO GET RICH AND FAMOUS IN ORDER TO NOT BE CORNY... he was probably corny. NICK CANNON IS KNOWN FOR BEING CORNY. HES ALSO RICH AND HAS 45 KIDS! ITS JUST a word. Yall act like she smacked his mama and fucked his dad.
@@manumaster1990 that’s why it rocks
She probably did. But speaking from experience these little off hand remarks really really sticks with you throughout life. Explains why I still can’t commit to one woman 😂😂😂
@@idkijs435 Are you aware that it's possible to get your point across without playing word salad with those caps. Smh. And no it's not okay that as a community, our black women associate being kind, considerate, goal oriented and just generally a good dude as being corny, it's not okay that we see those as negative traits. He hustled and kept his eyes on the prize and now the same black women that thought he wasn't all that hate on him for even considering white chicks. Make it make sense.
I’ve had people tell me my whole life “you don’t act black”. When I respond with “what does acting black mean?” they freeze up 99% of the time. That 5 word question makes most people realize their bullshit really fast.
"No you just think black means ratchet and ghetto" that one always offends them as a comeback 😂
Both the comments are Ws cuz why I gotta say the N word in every sentence to be considered 'black'?
They think acting like an idiot with no future is acting black. I'm black and I also got told that. Its so dumb.
Don't let them drag you to their level. I call you guys proper black men for striving to do better and these people who drag you down as dindu nuffins. If there were more black men like you guys there wouldn't be a bad stereotype that these dindu nuffins are propagating. Keep on being decent people and proper citizens that I hope the newer generation would follow.
likewise: I (a white male) was constantly told to "stop acting black" and that ill "never be black". People of all colors have said this to me. Why? I smoke and have a problem with authority. acting black is literally defined by half of white america as just being a delinquent.
I was that bullied corny kid that liked science fiction, video games, and anime instead of the usual stuff and I never forget all the hurtful words and the names of those hurled them. Success really is the best revenge because the people who were rotten to you 10-20 years before suddenly want a moment of your time when they see you especially the mean girls. Good on MBJ for being respectful about it.
Never wanted you then and they NEED you now. That's how so many women are rejected waiting for you at the finish line while ridiculing you in the past.
I'm from the Bronx and was regularly harassed and even beat up for being quiet, intellectual, and articulate. I got jumped by 3 girls at once whom I did not know while reading a book on the train. I'm so glad to be out of the hood. So many people there really don't want you to have dreams or strive for something better. It actually makes them angry to see someone trying.
Just getting out of there is revenge enough
Thank 4 not hurting yourself like that poor girl. We need you corny females.
Glad you left those roaches behind
Seriously fuck those people
So you got jumped by 3 girls because they were intimidated by your willingness to learn and expanding your vocabulary? I’m so sorry that you went through that and I’m glad you’re out of the dirty Bronx (I’m from Queens)
Stuff like that, makes me think that this hood life is what Aba be saying: THIS IS A SICKNESS!!
Goes to show that people don't feel like their bullying is bullying. Goes to show how dismissive people are for their past actions.
They don’t think it’s bullying because they believe their victims deserve it. That’s why abusers also don’t consider their actions to be abuse
and how ppl NEVER forget it.
That's what happens when you try to be a part xD
I think also some mean comment they made years ago they probably forgot about but the recipient of it never forgot
If you were not bullied at schools , you prolly were doing the bullying( or an orbiter ) or blended so well you were invisible or not worth the time. Bully are not only physical, they can be mental or social.
edit , oops not you in particular, just in general.
I was always "acting white" and being a nerd because I was one of the only black girls in my grade in honors/AP making good grades , involved in theater , anime fan . Once you own it and stop caring about what the other insecure peers have to say about you their words don't matter. Like yall said just because we go way back doesnt mean we were cool.
I always told myself i will never see these kids after graduation. Then I went to an even better school, a specialized school in grade 11 so i was out of there quicker than I thought.
Thing is, the world knows black ppl have a problem bringing each other down with them. Other ethnic backgrounds support each other and value success.
I shudder to think what everyone else in your grade was doing.
I find that black insular racial stereotypes are some of the most restrictive parameters for personal success that I have seen for any race. Always remember that the core column of any identity is the person first, not race or sexual identity. That is the problem with a lot of left leaning thinking is the group is paramount over the individual. This ironically as an sovereign individual keeps you ideological captured and stunted from personal success. Breaking out of that cage is what allows you to step forward with a clear independent mind and actions.
"Just because we go back doesn't mean we were friend's" FACTS!!! , whats funny is these people remember how they treated you as kids, they just hope you forget smh
Michael is living the dream every bullied kid has ever had, and did it on camera for everyone to see it. Masterful.
Teaching that one can actually channel those negative energies into something powerful, sadly stuff like this isn't taught in schools.
Lol u know what's funny I'm in a similar situation ish. This girl I tried to get with in high school for like 4 years found my ig and sent me a request. Granted whole time I was trying to get with her she got with this other dude a real life bum but back then he had all the flashy shoes and stuff. So I accepted it she liked 8 of my photos so I liked a couple of hers. 2 weeks later she blocked me. I'm guessing because I didn't initiate a convo. Fast forward to today I'm in law enforcement lol and she can see things are really popping for me she think she still have that kinda sway over me after for me to reach out to her she curbed me for so long. yh right
The fact that Michael B Jordan still remembers that carrot head tells me that she surely did way more than just call him "corny" once. People who get bullied always remember every detail of what their bullies did or said to them, when they apparently all seem to be forgetfull or to downplay what they did.
She must have been quite relentless if he still remembers what he said to her.
I wanna believe that the bullies also remember what they did. They downplay their shit cause they don’t want others to find out what really happened.
I'm pretty sure he was talking about what she said on her podcast not an instance in school. He honestly probably doesn't remember her but knows who she is because her talking about him on her show.
Bullies will try to cozy up to ya too
He probably already forget her, but I think at least he seen her on internet and all, because she keeps reminding everyone everywhere that she knows Michael in their school days, saying he was corny and all, even at the time they meet again the first thing she said was reminding Michael about the past. That's why he smirked and remind her about her own words about him, "Yeah, I'm the corny guy, right". Like, everybody can see how fake she is to him, except her self. Typical narcisstic.
I felt Preach's pain. I've felt like an "other" around my peers for many reasons and I learned to accept things about myself as an adult. I don't have to accept nonsense from people even if they look like me. I'm glad nerd culture emerged in the 2000's and I think it did a lot to help people
YESS! I FEEL THIS SO HARD RIGHT NOW!!!! Otakus is what they call them in japan. Or hikikomori.
For real ngl I resonate with your take
@@doctoreugene Otakus and Hikikomori describe two different behaviours of people. It's crucial not to over simplify things.
@@aos-archive please elaborate on why we shouldn't over simplify things? If anything I feel like over simplifying is what is necessary for some of these people to know how to take an L.
As much as I love this for him, I'm not gonna spend my life hoping to have a moment like this of my own with one of my bullies. It probably will never happen. And even if by some miracle, one of my bullies sees me in the midst of my glow up, they probably won't care. I gotta do this for me. Not for them. They've had their chance with me. It's my turn.
I'm saying this as a person who has been belittled in my younger years. Let go of the anger that you had on your bullies. It's poisoning your soul. You don't have to prove anything to them. Don't let them have power over you now that you're an adult and doing well. Live beautifully and don't care about them. That's the best revenge because people like them can't stand not being able to control your feelings.
@@pas_du_tout and if you're own family were a bunch of narcissistic psychopaths?
@@pas_du_tout that is something I am actively working on. Thank you again🙏🏽🙏🏽
why did you say spending my life hoping? Micheal Jordan used to take anything an opponent would say and use it as motivation. When you are great, sometimes you need to use stuff as fuel so you don't get complacent. That's not a bad thing and it's not like they are obsessed with proving something or getting revenge. Micheal B, most likely never had a thought about this girl other than what she said on the podcast or in school and seeing her on that carpet.
Facts- because while I’m happy for him to a point, a part of me feels like he is corny for this. This is corny.
She brought up their school connection herself. She deserves getting humbled online for that. He looked like he was content with just the look on her face having to introduce him as the director of the film but nah, she had to let people know they went to school together. Typical narcissist
exept she never called him corny
@@budgetking2591 Bruh, it's literally in the video.
Had she not brought it up, he would have looked crazy pulling up that she called him corny in school years ago. Her bringing it up was the green light.
I think Michael B is corny though.
@@leehalloway8787 Please post your definition of corny.
@@AFrugalMindsetWithBrandonLee don’t seek an explanation from a fool. It would leave you even more confused
I HIGHLY respected the way he handled this…. They shit on you on your way up and try to smile in your face when you’re at the top
He handled it relatively professionally but reminded her how how he was mistreated. W moment.
They both are successful so.......
@@Destrudo5359 true but who is more well known?
@@Destrudo5359 let’s not act like it’s levels to this shit… She brought it up trying to act like she was affiliated to him like that and he just brought up their dynamic from back then.
@@infiltretor287 but who cares...they're both successful in life...who cares if they went to school together...that's like me joking about how many kids never left home while I've been to Japan and all-over the world within 4 years while they joke about me...who cares. Some people are better off than me some aren't. Honestly i could care less...
I cannot believe they called him corny. He's clearly far from it. Don't let bullys get you down! Keep striving for success
That's because he was dorky looking when he was younger.
You never called anyone corny?
Yeah they just jealous of him because he doesn't act like a stereotype hood dude.
but sometimes you need to listen to the bullies. sometimes they are the only ones who are honest with you if there is something wrong about you and you don't have any idea what,and people around are "too nice to say anything". this is just my opinion of course
@@lukmanalghdamsi3189 You know we can say things without hurting them mentally or physically also not sugar coating it right ? like talking about things straight forward 🤦
In high school, people called me weird , creepy, corny, and I’ll admit I could have done better. But now, most of them are struggling, single mom, etc. I’m about to graduate college and have a way better social life then what I did in high school and I’m popular as well. So it shows that people can glow up really good
Proud of you keep going. They always end up the same.
I'm proud and happy for you ❤
The fact that she as an adult said “Well you’re not corny anymore” basically telling him again that he was “corny” as a kid. Man she needs to know her place 🤦♂️She the corny one taking a fat L
She aint corny
There is nothing wrong being corny
There is something wrong with the lady
She is for the streets
The nigga is corny. He's alot of great things. He's also corny...
He was corny
@@thegreatestever913 the greatest ever reply lol
@@idkijs435 ?
She knew she would meet him and interview him. She should have prepared her apologies to him and advised young girls to stop being bullies. She didn't. She tried to ride his success, lied, denied calling him corny but still admitted it. What a shameful woman.
She called him corny at the very end too!
Good point!
Wonder how many men view her as wife material lol
@@snapeinvader6208 it’s her shame and guilt she didn’t know what to do
a woman giving apologies? what on earth? thats not happening. woman today are incapable to do such. unless hes a thug or a wife beater.
You guys are totally correct. I was bullied so badly in school I used to skip constantly. It messed me up for years. Mind you, I was a runway model when I was a teenager and girls were just terrible to me. I actually only hung out with nerds in school. I hope to see the people that used to bother me and let them know how big of assholes they were. I really love nerds
The bullies always want to come up and act like you're supposed to be glad to see them. People don't forget the crap you do.
Us black men who've been called corny know it means more than just being a nerd. Shout out to Michael B. in the way he handled the situation 😤
Tell them oga
Nah fr some people just had and still have backwards thinking
@@UzitheSaint It's called low IQ
Oh yea
The anime thing shocks me. I'm a white dude, but most black dudes I've met at least like Dragon Ball Z. I honestly thought that was just a kids in poverty thing, because we were all latchkey kids watching Toonami when we got home. Anime and Toonami helped me make my first friends so that ain't corny.
Instead of keeping that same boldness and disrespectful energy she had when she said it, she tries to avoid accountability and act like it never happened.
She deserves the backlash and embarrassment she is getting.
i mean, since when do folks take accountability ?
It would be better if she was honest and real. And maybe bring it up as joke. "Yeah remember I used to call you corny in HS"
@@markstriker925 yeah, or at least she could've agreed when he said that she used to call him corny
@@markstriker925 it could have shown humility and growth. “Yes, I called you corny, but your success here shows I misjudged you and I apologize for that”.
Simple, and she would’ve probably gained positive clout if she chose that route.
Uk women hate taking accountability🤣
This is why I did my best to never treat anyone badly in high school. "Be careful who you make fun of in middle school" goes for high school and life in general. If you don't like something someone did, criticize the thing, not the person.
Or just don’t say anything at all sometimes just ignore people
@@Andre-eo4xe Yeah it extends to everyone but given the topic I just talked about high school here ;)
As a community we value the most meaningless things. It feels so damn good to prove them wrong.
Funny how she says he’s corny yet her entire horribly looking wig is the color of corn
🤣🤣🤣 damn that's true
🤣🤣🤣
🤣
They're both making more money than us all sooo...
@@Destrudo5359 That seems like a you problem, lol
“Going way back doesn’t always mean you was friends” 💯 Love Michael B’s energy during the interview. No reason to let that slide.
None at all!
I think a ton of us are living through this man. ✊🏾
We are.
Bro, as a black man who cared about doing good in school and not screwing every girl he saw, I know the feeling all too well of being called "corny" for it
I grew up in the 'hood' in NJ and I was made fun of for liking anime and saying I wanted to be a nurse. Now I'm a nurse and I make over 100k a year. Success is definitely the best revenge.
Good for you brotha. As a fella who lived in Newark, NJ for only a couple of years, I will say God bless MJB for all he dealt with growing up there.
Facts. Success is the best remedy
Dope brotha!
Now you watchin anime in 4k 😂
Naruto Kun
I will never forget how this one girl bullied me in middle school. So much so that I hated going. A year ago she added me on Facebook and asked me if I could purchase something from her business that wasn't doing well. Like the audacity for her to even ask 🤦🏾♀️. Not only did I remind her of how she treated me but I blocked her.
Good on you sis. They call us petty for bringing up the past but how the hurt we felt didn't matter to them in the past, don't think we forgot when we got older. You did the right thing.
Did you give her a chance to respond?
Did you give her a chance to respond?
I forgave my “bully” and he’s been my best friend for 11 years.
@@godofthisshit ehhh fuk her response.
It’s one of the reason he is so successful. You don’t usually become a great person by being praised your whole life.
This is a great eye opener for me to bear witness. Not only did you guys cover this topic but you delivered it with precision. This was real life in high school when I was labeled as nerdish and unreal because I wasn't bad enough to be validated by alot of people. But now that you have made great pointers in this video. It makes me believe even more that it's okay to like the things I like even if people think it's corny and i'm okay with liking who I am for a grown man.
To make things crystal clear:
If you're from an inner city environment and get called corny, take it as a blessing. This means you have vision and a dissatisfaction with your less-than-ideal environment. These twin things will ensure you do not end up a negative statistic. The pushback and the bullying is only fear of you leaving them behind manifesting itself.
Own your uniqueness.
I agree. Take Pride in the fact that I same people calling you names. Will be asking you FOR HELP. Calling your phone begging as adults
Childhood is temporary. And adulthood is permanent
Well. Said.
No lies detected.
Yup. I would get called weird straight to my face by dudes for being the lame girl who liked skateboarding and Lupe Fiasco and didn't drink smoke or party. Couldn't wait to get out. Now I get paid to travel the world and have lived in some of the most beautiful places and have had amazing adventures. That alone is winning for me. While the ones who thought I was lame are baby daddies to multiple women and stuck in our home town.
The way she delivered “what you gonna do with your CORNY LITTLE HEAD SHOTS!!” … that within itself said a lot in my eyes in how she treated him
Yeah, if that was her trying to portray herself positively, I'm betting they also pelted him with some gamer words or said some other fuck shit to him. Forgive, but I ain't forgetting.
Yeah, she felt she did nothing wrong alright. She's incapable of thinking things outside herself.
She seems like one of those people that would do anything to get in with the IN crowd, like play along with mocking her own friends or relatives at high school if the IN crowd is doing it.
They should have played 3 more seconds of the clip because she says how she was definitely wrong about him
@@Matches_Malone0 "....because she said she was wrong about him." Did she say she was wrong for what she did to him or just that "she was wrong about him"? Those two statements mean two different things.
Being a guy who has been looked down on till to this day I love seeing this and it motivates me to push further so I can be in that situation
That's the thing about teasing and bullying people...
Even if *you* forget, *they* will remember it _forever!_
I am so glad that I don't have to live with the guilt of knowing that I said something hurtful to someone that they'll *never forget.*
I am happy when I meet people from my school who tell me that I was always nice to them, especially if it was one of the kids who didn't have too many friends, because that only proves how important it is to be kind.
If I ever have kids, I hope they too will be remembered as a nice classmate.
"If you clowning a millionaire, the joke is on you"
That’s a WHOLE factoid 😂
Imagine being this girl and the highlight of your career is being humbled by a guy you used to bully in highschool.
Karma is my favorite bitch
it happens more often than you think as you get older
Literally the biggest moment because this is the first I’ve ever even heard of her lol
He knew people would be leaving comments like this, and he has a lot of people with his fame, therefore I do think my unpopular opinion is correct that this was not a "class act" thing to do
@@love-ip7sz your opinion basically sugar coating in a way of making it seem like MBJ shouldn't have said anything due to the sistahood mentality. Therefore your opinion sucks ass.
That was a moment for her to step up, take accountability and apologize to him for saying that shit to him.
Thank you for making this video honestly because people are so blind nowadays they’re so worried about all the wrong things because of pop culture & what the govt programs us to like. Thank you for being so down to Earth
I was bullied back in high school and it really affected me then. Im a whole doctor now and it’s crazy how these people who picked on me now want to act like we are friends and seek succour.
*a whole doctor...is really bad grammar, Dr.
A few years ago the bully who literally dented my car with my head messaged me to see what was up. I just sent him pics of me at my Kickboxing gym and told him to come through. No reply. Human beings disgust me sometimes. One big negative about the internet is it showed humans average level of decency is much lower than we thought.
@@MuantanamoMobile he is a doctor....😂😂
@@MuantanamoMobile you’re worried ab grammar when bro just used “succor”, never seen that word before. Thanks for teaching me something new doc and congrats on your success!
@@MuantanamoMobile Better than a half doctor.
I like how he handled himself. He didn't go in on her or insult her. He just acknowledged her duplicity and moved on.
yha what i'm seeing about how others reacted to this they really want him to go hard but they don't know he's famous now so he has to be careful what he does around people specially women. What he did was good as he just said one thing that could actually put salt in her wounds cause she will never be in he's circle ever no matter what she does.
I woulda pulled a James Kennedy from Vanderpump Rules on her 😂 she lucky it’s Michael B
I used to get bullied, met my bully years later and my life and who I was was so far away from who I was back in those days. I genuinely did not remember the guy. Jordan instantly knew who she was and what she did. With all his success she still has a hold on him.
This woman bullied & tormented this guy. It was not just a few comments, she also spoke about his headshots & his acting chances, probably telling him he was not going anywhere. He was even kind to her, in contrast to the way I imagine she treated him.
Are you serious? Did she kill his cat also? Why did he cheat off her paper and lie and say she cheated off him? Since you're making up shit at this point I just joined in.
You hit the nail on the head. Growing up in a predominantly black community or "the hood" and not acting like a thug or a general piece of shit will put a bullseye on you. This rings true for a vast majority of us who grew up in or around that toxic mindset in the subculture. I'm so grateful my mom finally moved us away from that bs.
Now, whenever I visit home (St. Croix), people legitimately can't even tell I was born and raised there. So freaking sad.
I lived in the hood but I mainly lived with my grandmother and grew up in suburb areas and because of that I don't have a thug mentality aka I don't act black is what they call it cause when I went around nothing but blacks they would say how I sound white because I'm not speaking slang and teased me for it so at school I would never fit in with just black people but mainly hung around Hispanics and whites and some black people, also it would be other blacks that would make fun of my appearance such as my nose, lips etc. When most of them had even thicker and bigger facial features which didn't make sense so I can see where he's coming from
Facts that's a lot of us.
Same my brother (rock city)
Had the same experiences. Fortunately I had 2 older brothers and I was tall and fit. My brothers were basically a shield. Especially the younger of the 2. I still remember him talking to me once about my brains. He said I was the one that can make it and he’ll defend me at all cost. That protected me from most fights. Guys didn’t want to fight me because they didn’t want to deal with my brothers and their friends. Still got all the ridicule at school though. Was always called an Oreo. I went on to be the 1st in my family to go to college. Got 2 diplomas and now make over 200k. Funny thing is years ago a few months after I got my current job I “happen” to run into some of the black girls who suddenly wanted to get a drink and catch up.

The thing with bullies is that you never forget who they are or what they did no matter how old you are
that trauma.
The axe forgets what the tree remembers
@@masterofnone554 cool saying
I’m grateful for you smart guys. I found it so much better talking to people that are intelligent than ones that always seems aggravated. Stay smart, stay educated. My dad tells me stories about his life when he was a young man. He used different methods to get through school. 😆
This was so satisfying to watch. We never forget. I’m glad he called her out
"Instead of killing them with kindness, torture them with fucking success." - David Goggins
was literally watching a Goggins video today lol
And then rub it in.
I'll be honest. My school bullies ended up being more successful than me in life. Better Careers. Happy Family. Strong social circle etc. The fantasy that you will end up being better than your bully or your bully will be a dead beat in the future is just that. A Fantasy. Don't hang on to that shit. It will eat away at you long after those same people have moved on. Pick yourself up. Work on your self, your goals and your ambitions. And win on your terms. Become a better you.
The best revenge is success, yes. But not because you want to prove them wrong. It is because you prove it to yourself.
You have to look at it this way. It does not matter how the people that have wronged you end up in life. Mentally the bullied always remain in those scenarios. However the bullies no matter what happened in life always move on without a single after thought. If you remain emotianally stunted by what happened they win by default. The only way you can win is by distancing your mind from the past and do great stuff only for yourself.
On point!
Only bring yourself to the past when you've beaten the present and stabilized your future.
Sometimes it’s a fantasy but sometimes it can be a reality. It’s like a flip of a coin to be honest. I had one prick who bullied me for a brief period and he ended up getting testicular cancer. Fortunately he recovered but damn I didn’t want karma to hit him that much.
Best advice, here
Coming from someone that's both corny & socially awkward, "stay corny my friends" was the most hilarious sign off
I met my husband when we were in high school and his "cornyness" was what i was attracted to and boy did that pay off....he is a super successful doctor and I'm here enjoying the benefits
@@secularjihadi Those guys just hate women no matter what and want to blame them for everything. They have existed forever. Certainly much longer than the modern problems between men and women have existed. The fact that I have never been able to get them to admit that only some women are a problem the same as only some men are proves that to me. They lump all women together even though they will get mad if you do the same to men. They say they hate double standards while promoting double standards that favor men. They are hypocrites.

Where they at? As a guy living on a college campus, they might as well be the majority of women. Through all the parties/hookups, I've met almost nothing but the kind of women "guys want to think" most women are like. Could argue it's my own fault for surrounding myself with those kinds of women, but when it comes to college at least, they're the majority you meet/find in social settings. And in the off-chance you find a good woman and get into a relationship, she could always turn out to be a hello-kitty girl, really being a gaslighting manipulator underneath the facade.
Michael B’s body language during that interview said it all! Success is definitely the best revenge!!!❤️🔥😂
💯 and the energy I'm on 💪🏾
The opening clip gave me Denzel vibes
bro i wasn't paying attention to the video and heard the laugh or whatever on the ear buds ad and it scared the frick out of me
"now that its cool to be a nerd.. everybody's a nerd" one of the realest thing ever said on youtube
my black man is “corny” and a nerd, and i love it. nerdy has always been my type. as a black woman myself, i never understood the whole “i need me a hood nigga” thing.
but generally speaking, the community will call you corny and say you’re acting white if you don’t act like a ratchet stereotype. i experienced a lot of similar criticisms as a female blerd.
It’s cause they’re more “exciting “& “masculine”
@@TheTiredhermit And that excitement leaves them beaten and dead, but go figure.
@@TheTiredhermit if by “exciting” you mean scary, sure lol
@@TheTiredhermit Just want to point out I know these aren't your beliefs.
We Black "lames and squares" got to stick together. 😉 Peace and blessings to you sista
I applaud him and how he handled it! She really tried to act like she didn’t bully this man. I’ve been there. Growing up, I was bullied because I wasn’t “black enough.” I was the “Oreo” because I did not act like the stereotypical black girl. Victims of bullying always remember. I’m glad MBJ had that moment 😂
It’s sad how this happens to the BW and BM who are actually productive + can HELP the community more than everybody else
I was called an Oreo as well and non black bc I had different interests.
Yha i'm blaming social media now as people are now who are none black thinking all black people do this and that cause what they see other black people do on social media like rap artist and stuff. Like it can cause a problem to cause than its not teaching people that not all black people are the same.
@@anthrobeats5927 yeah same here except I wasn't called Oreo. I was acting non black according to the ones that bullied me.
And it's true how the bullies try to chop it up with you months to years later. I remember going to the store near my job (this happened in 2019) and one of my bullies called himself trying to chop it up like we were best friends lmfao. I kept it cordial and kept it pushing.
Same here people would tell me I talk "white" and some dudes would go as far as to say "I only date white women but you don't seem like the typical black female". People need to get it together.
I remember when I was in school (5th grade) I was teased for being corny, goofy, etc. for being generally quiet and once in a while saying corny jokes during class, kind of a corny class clown. But always had that inner “hood” kid alter ego. One day they pushed me too far throwing a wet paper ball at my head, I had enough and they got to see my “hood” side when I threw a 700pg text book at this kid and kicked him in the face and I remember the fear in this kid’s eyes when I yelled “whatchu gone n***a!! What?!” “Ima fck yo ass up! Keep playing wit me!” Mind you I was never this angry before at anyone up until this point. It was like watching Goku turn super sayain for the first time. Everyone, including the substitute teacher was absolutely stunned. All I could remember is him saying “I was just playing wit you” nervously. Did I get sent to the dean’s office and get a permanent record for fighting in class? Yes. Was it worth? Absolutely. But this kid was a known menace in school and I went from being the tall goofy kid to just being the kid that put him in his place. Talk about climbing the social ladder in school 😅
She is miserable (especially that clip) for her to be like that and continue to be like that😢. That's also a reason why I don't forgive and forget people who used to tease me and make fun of my complexion, ethnicity and the way I am.. I also like how he matched the same energy with her.. I also believe Success, being happy in wherever you are is the best Revenge.
this unlocked a memory for me. when i was in middle school, i was really good at science and some girl said i thought i was better than everybody in the class. i responded by saying i am better at this subject than everybody because i had the highest grade. then some dude that liked her and a bunch of other dudes teased me for getting good grades so as an insecure kid, i intentionally got bad grades to try to fit in. i turned out okay, eventually, but i wish i could go back in time and instill confidence in myself. i fully support MBJ going after his passion and being petty ✊🏾
I’m not *at all* saying this to be petty (I promise 🥺) but that was pretty dumb of you to do. I get it though because it sucks feeling the need to self-sabotage your success or happiness just so some people around you won’t feel the need to hurt you. If you were honestly weaker than them, they wouldn’t feel the need to put you down. You wouldn’t be a threat, right? You were better than them at something and they had to find a way to make you not be better than them anymore. I hope I don’t come off rude, I’m just trying to be as clear and honest as possible. Anyway, I hope you don’t self-sabotage anymore and are doing well ❤😊
@@bellaelleira your message was received well. my mother was an educator so she sat me down with all of my teachers and my counselor to figure my shit out. before that i never even got a B- so she knew something was up. i never told her the truth because of how embarrassing it was, but my fear of disappointing her overcame the peer pressure lol
Bragging you’re the best isn’t cool though. I went to high school with kids who go to Ivy League schools and they never talked down on their peers/saying they were all this/all that. The key was to just be proud of yourself but not compare others negatively because of it.
@@keeganslaney2381 the thing was that i never talked down to anybody. i was a relatively quiet kid. i was probably the poorest kid in my grade so being good in school gave me confidence. i only said i was the best because i was one of the only kids who were engaged in class and she took it as me being cocky.
I totally get where you’re coming from, and I don’t think you were “dumb,” nor “bragging.” I think you were a kid who was reacting to a difficult and unfortunate situation, doing the best you could to adapt with the emotional skills you had at the time. Not all children come from well adjusted backgrounds with good, consistent role models, and even if they do, we all have our individual challenges as kids and adults regardless. I think it’s foolhardy to expect children and teenagers to have the emotional fortitude, maturity in perspective, and self esteem of an adult. For many if not most kids, this simply isn’t the case. That’s why we humans often learn from our mistakes, and why humility is so important as we learn to develop our self confidence and find our way. It would have been cool if those kids didn’t shake your confidence in a way that got you off track for a time, but i’m proud of you for finding your way back despite it. Realizing the external things that hindered us in life, but also taking accountability for our own mistakes in the process is what makes us understand what values are important to us as adults. I think you’re doing great, I think the kid version of you in middle school was doing great too. You were just a kid. You were doing the best you could.
If you’re corny in school, own that shit… honestly. And don’t just act “unique”, be unique by being yourself. People who maintain individuality live the most fulfilling lives.
Ahhh I don't know. Tiktok has made true nutcases out of mamy😂
@@N3RF4LIF3 that's acting "unique" lol. Those were the same type of folks that were depressed emos but were hyper random manic Invader Zim and MCR quoting because they were "unique".
Being yourself means youre dedicated to actual skilled dancing, or video game design, or singing, or cool makers projects, etc even if it harms your social relations
My whole childhood I never what I was a nerd or corny but I come to realize watching anime and D&D and History love freak and video games and stuff that I’m nerd big time
As an adult male with an action figure collection I can finally afford, I love displaying that shit in full view for any girl I bring home. If they don't like you for you what's the point
I was deemed corney all thru high school because I used to knit, and wear my own creations. Alot of it was odd, and I got picked on because of it.
"We used to make fun of him"...no you bullied him. There was nothing nice about what you did. He was too polite.
Aba I feel you on the "nerd" front--my brother and I were both made fun of growing up for being nerds. It's not just about knowing a lot about something. It's about being different, being into video games, anime, etc. We were smart and laughed at for finishing math problems quickly. We went home and played MMOs and video games because it was an escape and a way to be surrounded by people who appreciated working towards something, the art, progressing in skills. Wish we had a new word to call our own.
As a nerdy girl, I am cheering this King on. ✊🏻👊🏻 Funny how a lot of the bullies end up acting like y’all were always cool and try to hit on you or be your friends when you get successful
We cheer u nerdy girls yall deserve more respect too.

One of my highschool bullies added me on Facebook and asked how I was doing and tried to play best pal “long time no see.” This dude called me a Puerto Rican fa***t (grew up in a racist part of Mississippi), and thought I wouldn’t forget, and he thought it would be a good idea to ask me for a recommendation at my job. I take pride in being able to forgive but I don’t have to forget.
I don’t forgive either, ngl. Most ppl don’t change from what I’ve seen, and this video is more proof
Some of us corny guys were told by our elders: Women will learn to like you as they grow wiser
This is nonsense 😂
He was giving here the side eye before the head nod out the gate
The name calling and denigration from high school bullies is rocket fuel that never depletes. You don’t dwell on it but you NEVER forget it. Speaking properly, being on the gymnastics team, never rocking the latest and greatest fashions and being a comic book nerd in the inner city definitely made me “corny”. I definitely evolved so I respect MBJs energy and his clap-back
I remember a story a coworker told:
A fellow high school acquaintances of his invited him to watch the acquaintance’s band play at their first paid gig. After the show, that acquaintance asked my coworker’s thought on the band and their style of music.
My coworker said their band sucks and that they ain’t gonna make it.
That band was Linkin Park.
Yeah, I made fun of him for that.
Damn...... lol. I guess in the end, it does matter 🤣
goddamn
Oh man, I was not expecting that!! Good story!
You coworker kinda sounds like an ass. Even if i didn't like a band I wouldn't got as far as saying to their face they suck and ain't gonna make it. I'd just be like "Not my kind of music"
@@mtsdivine lol okay, go back to the dust of obscurity where you came from and let Linkin park be remembered in history and mostly in a positive light.
My wife calls me a nerd all the time .. then slides into my dm’s. Hell yeah I am . Love every minute of being a nerd . No shame in my game here ! She’s knows what’s up at the end of the day .
Good on Michael b Jordan for holding her accountable and calling her out . Big respect !
....but she's your wife lol
Lol I love that he called her out because she probably told people that they know each other and go way back while leaving out the bullying and acting like they were friends back then
As an immigrant kid in highschool, I asked a black girl out and she said I was a nice guy but I just wasn't "black enough" despite being born in Nigeria. I used to have the ladies at the black church I went to say that I should find a nice black girl and settle down when I get older because they said I would be a good man and a good father. But none of the black girls wanted me. I was too "corny". I was an Oreo, I "acted White" whatever the heck that means.
Fast forward to present day, I've been married for 17 years to a wonderful girl I met in college. We have beautiful biracial kids, I have friends of all races, a happy life, good friends, wonderful family and I have a convertible Jag in garage. I guess being corny ended up being okay after all.
Go where you’re wanted
I'm sure a lot of Nigerian women would have accepted you the way you are. But either way you're happy now with your current situation so that's great
@@snake.iobeast I've had Nigerian women dismiss me for the more braggadocios Nigerian men, who wore their sunglasses indoors. Luckily I have a beautiful black Congolese wife, but she admits to seeing this sort of thing growing up.
I was even told growing up, by my older sister, to hide the fact that I like video games and anime.

Man showed discipline and got called corny. Discipline is one of the crucial ingredients to success
That why she's only only relevant for nothing but yappin. That needs no discipline. And no, omm I still don't know who she is.
She was quick to say "We go way back" 🙄
The best revenge is SUCCESS
To all the "corny" people out there like me, just embrace it.
Seriously, just embrace it.
Once you're out of school and in the real working adult world, being corny can most of the time be a blessing because it would lead you to live a very different life due to the fact you just have that boldness/courage in you of not wanting to be like everybody else.
Sure, at the beginning many would laugh and think you're crazy, even your own family members, and it's gonna sting.
But when the results starts coming in, their reactions are just priceless 🥴
So again, embrace that corniness in you. Good luck!
Corny usually just means responsible adult.
Lmao no, I was called a cornball all my life. It's definitely a lifetime of awkward jokes or weird reactions to situations and definitely overdoing it in a chill situation. It is what it is...
@@Bonesawisready926 hell no it doesn't. I know hella irresponsible corny ppl. And they definitely didn't turn out to be a "Michael B Jordan"
Yes. This ladies wig looks like my dead parrot and her forehead is brighter & longer than her future. Don't worry about these types and they're everywhere and coming after you soothes their fragile ego.
I’m telling my kids if they get called corny, it’s a good thing. You’re gonna be more successful than the kids calling you corny.
Mad love for Michael B Jordan.
When someone calls you corny, what they really mean is that you're responsible and forward thinking. You put effort in doing things you love, and are a net contributor/ net taxpayer to society. Basically, they are telling on themselves by mocking you for being a productive member of society.

This reminds me of being like 11 I loved sketching fashion designs and I don't remember anyone encouraging if anything I just remember being made to feel stupid for trying. I have often thought what would have happened if someone encouraged me, maybe bought me a sewing machine and told me it was great to have dreams.
Nah what they mean is that you're generally overly positive & pure, but without grandiose ability.
It's totally insecurity lol
@@love-ip7sz It’s not too late.
We have a problem in the black community where we shut people down for having dreams and force people to make their journeys on their lonesome, and a large portion or the shaming is also perpetrated by women. You either fold or you harden.
It's not just having a dream, it's being different. If a black dude isn't doing the stereotypical things that we and society thinks we do, it's corny. I have to act like a "thug" 24/7 or I am considered corny.

When your an intelligent black men, your community calls you corny. But other races, will value men with such caliber.
If I bullied anyone, which I never have, I would be so apologetic and humble if I ever met them again. The gall of her to think everything is cool and he should just get over it now. She should be so ashamed. What a narcissist.

@@simbaladesignsinsights a shit lick too 💀💀
Lore'l is not a narcissist and has actually stood up for her castmates when she was on love and hip hop. She was one of the most cool and down to earth cast mates. Yall judging her off of one interaction of something she did in high school is crazy. You really undermine the experiences of victims of narcissists when you call everyone you see do one unflattering thing one time a narcissist. At any point of time we all do something narcissistic. Narcissists actually on a complete different level than a human being exhibiting narc traits a time or two.

She knew exactly what she was doing when she continuously mentioned his name I'm interviews and said in school we use to make fun of him.

She slighted him again at the end with the slick "you're not corny ANYMORE ". As if to say no apology, you WERE in fact corny.
That was wild lol, I was like this girl tripping ending the interview like that smh

She loses no matter what in the end lol. The L is imprinted on her soul. 😂
You guys are so darn refreshing to watch.
And her claim to fame is now is to name drop and to say they went to the same school lol
She brought up that she knew him personally as if that would bring her some sort of *status* then got humbled publicly.

Hi Corny nerd girl here. I was bullied for loving science in school and i was also fat so double whammy. And i completely agree that this shit follows you to this. To the point where i can't approach guys and ask them out. I lack self confidence because women AND men who told me i was a nerd, i acted white because i had good grades and spoke fluently and i rather read a book than be on the block and it made me had an identity crisis growing up cause i used to think i had to listen to certain music watch movies i didn't even want to watch and talk a way i didn't want to to be not corny or weird. I ended up going to college and got a degree in marine and conservation biology and this was my biggest accomplishment an I for one enjoy that Michael got to take this opportunity. I also loved that he has expressed his love for anime go ahead and super saiyan on them my brother.
