Kuahmel's definitions
A pathetic condition/policy where there's only room for one Black person to shine in (at least the mainstream of) a given industry or scene, even when there are many other talented and worthy Black people to give work or accolades to. Unfortunately usually those other Black persons (as well as Asian, Latino, etc.) are snubbed or overlooked in favor of the anointed Black talent and/or a whole bunch of mediocre whites.
Oftentimes even that particular one Black will see to it no one else benefits from the perks they get, out of feeling those others are a threat to take their position.
Not to necessarily be related to affirmative action, though it kinda can be. And while not necessarily tokenism, one nigga syndrome is also in effect when whites will bring aboard one Black person into the group and cap it there so that in case he gets out of hand, he won't have backup when they collude against him.

Tyra Banks tended to be a victim of one nigga syndrome when Naomi Campbell was the go-to Black supermodel at the time.
One nigga syndrome was in effect on all but two seasons of The Real World. Notice how the token Black also tends to be gay.

Get the one nigga syndromemug. A quake of Twitter activity when everyone rushes to tweet when a big event happens. Inspired by how folks in California will all tweet about earthquakes that just happened like clockwork!
Could also call it a "Twaftershock"

Kicked it in bed, felt the earthquake, got up, hit the web to check Twitter...sure enough, a tweetquake!
The Video Music Awards is bound to cause a tweetquake tonight!

The sitcom Community actually had two gaycist moments:
-Abed is hand feeding a Black man chicken fingers with a lover's tease to it as the guy has a smile on his face. The chicken part is a no-brainer but read on...
-On a dare from Chang, Pierce, and more to the point, Troy, a Black character, show up to a school dance in ladies' pantsuits. The gaycism is obvious when one considers the issue of Hollywood frequently placing Black actors in emasculating situations
Also gaycist is when a flamboyant gay man, Matthew Miller, auditions for American Idol. When he finishes, he says that a lady once told him he sounded like a "skinny Black woman." And mockery ensues...
Simon: We're not sure whether it's Matthew or Martha
Randy: Is Martha the name of a skinny Black woman?
Matthew: No, if I was a skinny Black woman, I think I'd be like Shakiki or Shaquana

Get the gaycistmug. An often high-maintenance female's high-pressure, unreasonable, unrealistic, and even bizarre criteria she expects a guy to adhere to. Hard to even just consider it at best high standards when it generally comes off merely as a woman having a man on the hot seat as if her sh*t don't stink. And it's no wonder why a girl on this tip is single and bitter.
Named for the cast member from MTV's The Real World Boston who had this ridiculous list of 200+ requirements a man had to meet in order to date her. Also known as "Kameelah-a$$ list" in the Okayplayer community.

Does every girl on BlackPlanet have to have a Kameelah list on her page?
If you meet a chick from a sorority, chances are she's sizing you up on her Kameelah list.

Get the cut offmug. A special kind of booed up guy who is up under his girlfriend at such a ridiculous clip, he may as well be married to her, live with her and the whole shot. Oftentimes even she feels like he could take a day or two off and hang with the fellas or something.
Female: My boyfriend is coming over tonight.
Her girls: You mean your busband? Does he even have his own life the way he handcuffs himself to you?
Jerry: What up, Jay, game's on tonight, come through, got some Newcastle in the kegerator.
Jay: I'm good, 'bout to go see my girl.
Jerry: Goddamn, fam, you ain't her boyfriend, you're her busband, because I don't see what stops you from putting a ring on the b*tch with no prenup.
