Alabma’s Internet sensation Antoine Dodson hasn’t expired his 15 minutes yet — and I don’t ever want him to. Popping up at last night’s BET Awards, he delivered a live auto-tuned version of anti-rape anthem “The Bed Intruder Song.”
Before the “blacks are homophobic” comments keep rolling in, may I point out the obvious? EVERYONE in the audience loved this OPENLY GAY man’s performance, cheered when the host said it got him out of the projects, and were clearly turned off when the host cracked his last inappropriate joke.
This gentleman has to be my, hands down, favorite Internet sensation to date. Not only is his life and street savvy in abundance, but his strength is other worldly. He’s a brave, gay, black man from the projects who caught a break while already starting to persevere. His fame is more than deserved.

@Dollie: Well said! It’s also interesting to see who really cared about his situation and who was just mocking him. Those who were mocking do not like the attention and money he’s now receiving, but ironically they’re the ones who made it happen.
It’s nice to see good win out over cruel intentions because I’m not foolish enough to believe those edited videos were meant to be anything other than mockery.
