Mr Black explains:<\/p>\n

The guy in the dark says, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Because when you say you like Obama, that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s the same thing to me as saying \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcHeil Hitler.\u00e2\u20ac\u2122\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

The audience, predictably, starts booing. I ask them to please calm down, that I will handle this in a mature way. While I am saying this to the audience, I am thinking, How do I possibly handle this in a mature way.<\/p>\n

So the audience settles down, and I turn to the gentleman and say, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Sir, I say with this all due respect – you are a fucking moron.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

And then I kind of lost my shit.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

If you must know more, as we did after reading the macro listed above, go and read his Tumblr, Black is a Stallion<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We are unashamed at expressing our love for you Mr Black. <\/p>\n

Unashamed and delighted.
\n<\/p>\n

We like him even more for this classy bit:<\/p>\n

So yeah, I kind of lost my shit last night. And to that guy who shouted out \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Heil Hitler,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d I apologize. There was no reason to meet your idiocy with my own, even though you are a fucking moron.<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
