The Man Behind The Black Marriage Negotiations Video
The Root has a very interesting interview with the man that created the Black Marriage Negotiations Video. You know, the one that has gone completely viral gaining almost half million Youtube views and has sparked countless imitations, debates and articles on the web. What’s most interesting about 40 year old Darroll Lawson is that he’s a happily married father of three and not a 23 year old youngster that’s been stung by love.
From The Root:
Darroll Lawson, 40, an information-technology consultant living in Atlanta, created the video to drive traffic to his website, PhilosoG, where he and his friend Billy Briggs talk about “empowering men to empower families.”
But since the launch last month of his animated video, which features a professional black woman ticking off a list of outrageous relationship requirements to a bewildered black man, Lawson says that he has received offers from Hollywood, been approached by ABC’s The View and conducted interviews with Essence, radio host Tom Joyner and the Associated Press.
The attention has helped Lawson promote his show, and he hopes it will help him find a publisher for a book addressing the same issues confronted by his video. The Root spoke with Lawson about his inspiration, how his wife — who is black — reacted to the video and his thoughts on Tyler Perry’s For Colored Girls.
