  • The response being “How so?” Doesn’t really make sense. The natural response would be something like “What is it?” But you could probably get away with “What do you mean ‘finally’?” and that would get you to the punchline that the joke is long overdue, like a book you checked out and never returned.





  • There’s a scene in the netflix show, Daybreak, where RZA as a narrator explains how eastern warrior culture became popular in the black community. Which is what i thought of reading your question. I couldn’t find a clip but here’s an article about it, and the relevant quote:

    “It’s not your fault you want to be a samurai,” says RZA. “See, that’s the economical pressure being expressed as warrior code. It started when young black men couldn’t afford to go to the movies, so we watched kung fu reruns. We found beauty in things that had been neglected.” He explains the socioeconomic forces that raised a whole generation of “blerds,” spinning out into everything from Jim Kelly to The Last Dragon to Kendrick Lamar’s “Kung Fu Kenny” to The Boondocks to Wu-Tang Clan itself.
