How many of you have either been or know black nerds?

Manypeople have called me a nerd over the years because I'm smart but I'm no Steve Urkel and I don't think of myself as a nerd. People shouldn't be labeled nerds just because they are intelligent, they need to have other nerd-like qualities as well. At the high school I went to, there were two black guys that I would label as nerds. One was extremely smart, he used to get 100% in subjects like Chemistry, Biology, Physics, you name it, and made it look like it was a piece of cake. The other guy, however, had nerdish qualities like a high-pitched whiny voice and no sense of style but he was an average student.

Funny thing is

Its always the damm nerds who used to get bullied who become your boss

And its always the "top boy" who ends up working on the shop floor

clever people make bosses, nerds dont make anything, nerds need to balance work with social, not just work work work.

Well up to a few years ago i was always classified as a nerd.... Duno why:?I think it was because i amdifferent and don't really care to follow the crowd..confused2....i always say why be the passenger in a ship whilst you can be the captain......

I find *normal* people boring.....their entertainment must come from people or being around people to have a good time....i don't! I like my own space and getting lost in my own world entertaining me self.......saying that i love people really....perhaps thats why my nerdhood is not so bad...however i know that my friends(especially Abs) would greatly desagree.....confused3

Ahh nerds, don't u just love em......niceone.gif

The above is 100% exactly how I feel. I actually find nerds a bit morefasinating b/c they are so different (especially black ones). They are sucessful in life b/c they are more likely to follow thier dreams unlike most people and its cool to be around people like that. They are also extremely loyal if you get to know them. I've hada coupleof my "nerdy" friends since 3rd grade andone is in law school with me today. I grew apart from most if not all of my jock friends as most of them got too much drama in thier lives.

Although I havesome "cool" people as contacts who I hang out with pubilcally for political reasons, most of my inner circle(people who I dub as real friends) are people who would probably be labeled nerds.blktype

i know people who got 3A's and get rejected from med schools because they have no personality. just shows that you dont need to good grades to suceed in life.

i'm a nerd on academic terms. if im asked my grades people fall to the ground. they'd say i thought you were thick? all because of the people i'd be with, the way i talked, things id do etc.

felt too good though to show people who think they're too smart that i could do just aswel, and stillgo out, have a good timeand not get stressed.
