Blerd

|
A blerd, pormanteau of the words "black" and "nerd", is a person of African-descent who identifies with a set of behavioral traits which extend the "nerd" stereotype, being overly intellectual, obsessive, etc., yet conversely in maintenance, whether personally deliberate or culturally accidental, of viable social graces, partly in virtue of the reclamation movement of the larger "nerd" culture, which seeks to reshape perspective and meaning of the term, and due to a lack of athropological-empirical introspection of Western popular culture into the African aesthetic and African diaspora. Etymology "Blerd" was coined by the fictional character Dr. Christopher Turk of the American sitcom Scrubs. In popular culture CNN attempted to raise awareness of the term, suggesting it as "a way to describe African-American intellectuals in a time when it's finally cool to be something other than an athlete or rapper."
