Posted on June 17, 2014

Rapper and record producer Pharrell Williams, or simply Pharrell, has a new theory that is, well, difficult to understand or explain fully.

The “new black” phenomenon, according to Pharrell, is a mindset thing; the “new black” does not blame other races for issues facing the black community, he says.

Yesha Callaha of Clutch Magazine wrote: “Last time I checked being Black was more than just a mentality. If that was the case, then I could choose to be just about any other race because, you know, my mentality wants to be White on Friday, so I can use White privilege for just one day.

Dr. Greg Carr, an Associate Professor & Chair of the Department of Afro-American Studies at Howard University, also reacts to Pharrell’s “new black” theory in the video below.
