The 90's were the greatest period in Ebonerd history. They made their presence known throughout television programming and many pretty good films. They became leaders of a social revolution in black communities. Showing that Ebonerds could help people across the world. No longer would black men and women who were rhythmically and/or athletically challenged have to hide their shame. They would finally be able to stand proud alongside their white brethren, the Anglonerd, and say "I am nerd, watch me calculate!"

80's EBONERDOM click here:
Ebonerds began to really become special in 80's. Their failed attempts at being cool in the 1970's had given them the inspiration to create their own style. Of course this brought about new humiliation as others in the black community were maintaining their "cool" despite a radical change in music and art. However, the Ebonerds would not be denied their moment in the spotlight.

70's EBONERDOM click here:
In the 1970's black culture and style came to prominence in America. In books and magazines, on the radio & TV, in movie theaters, and in many sports arenas black people were now expressing themselves in new and wonderous ways. But perhaps too wonderous and to soon... For their were a select few black men and women unable to fully grasp these new ideas of art and music and life. It was this new era that birthed the EBONERDS!

EBONERDS ON SPORTS click here:
Athletic competition. The bane of every Ebonerd's existence. Despite their lack of physical prowress, Ebonerds will still play hard. Sometimes even using their intellect to gain an advantage.

EBONERDY COMMERCIALS click here:
In the late 1980's Corporate America struggled to establish their brands among the young black community. They would need some way to attract this burgeoning demographic. Michael Jordan was already too busy and rappers were just so "Ebonical". Who would be able to handle this mighty task? They looked far and wide until they found the EBONERDS! The following represents some of those ill-fated marketing plans.
