#BlackGuyNerds was a beautiful sight to see on my TL, because we’re a rare breed of man that can sometimes get a pretty bad rap, however it’s never been cooler to be a nerd than right now.

The homies over at Black Girl Nerds started it all.

And all my blerd boys showed up ready for that action.

And it’s safe to say that the rest of Twitter was feeling the squad.

In all seriousness, even though this had to do with shooting shots and blerd love, I was extremely proud to see so many blerd men rise to the occasion. For many of us, the chance to really be highlighted in a positive way wasn’t always afforded to us, so it’s dope to be recognized. We even got a Twitter Moment. If you want to go check out the rest of the #BlackGuyNerds coalition, just search the hashtag for your viewing pleasure.

And you know I had to jump off in the game, too.
