chance the rapper inspires the celebration of black boy happiness and creation of #blackboyjoy

August 31, 2016

After his easy going playfulness graced the VMAs this past weekend, Chicago hip-hop sweetheart Chance the Rapper re-tweeted the original article celebrating his #BlackBoyJoy. The hashtag itself was created by The Root writer Danielle Young in an article about the rapper’s (and others) unabashed display of happiness before Chance tweeted it himself. Obv., the internets ran with it and has been similarly celebrating the joy of black men everywhere.
