"...C.T.B.O.B.C.C.B. pays homage to Buckwheat (BKWT) who is haunted by KFC fried chicken, watermelon, a noose, The Supreme Court's reversal of Brown Vs. Board of Education and flashes of pristine Caucasian enclaves on two 20in screen televisions. These screens flash a motley crew of visual memorabilia and supplanted nostalgic references to "the good ole' days" of minstrel shows then and now..."

Satirist Kanene, writer and performer of solo-show SITCHAASSDOWN© deemed "21 perfect-pitch snapshots of the black experience.", by Ellen Carpenter of New York Magazine, will premiere an interactive, multi-media, performance art installation excerpt called Committing that Black on Black Crime Called Blackface. C.T.B.O.B.C.C.B. pays homage to Buckwheat (BKWT) who is haunted by KFC fried chicken, watermelon, a noose, The Supreme Court's reversal of Brown Vs. Board of Education and flashes of pristine Caucasian enclaves on two 20in screen televisions. These screens flash a motley crew of visual memorabilia and supplanted nostalgic references to "the good ole' days" of minstrel shows then and now. Disney's beloved Uncle Remus and Tar Baby, Amos and Andy and the late great Al Jolson are juxtaposed with Snoop Dogg, Lil' Jon, the Ying Yang Twins and BET's Hot Ghetto Mess and are abruptly interrupted by record scratching and static, creating an amalgamation of farce and socio-political truth.
