Unintentionally wholesome. They should keep it as a running gag amongst themselves.

Most of my coworkers are black, im the token white guy. When I switched my cell phone provider a couple years back, it kept the name of the last person to have that number on the caller id. So when I call, my name comes up as Braheem.
My coworkers affectionatly refer to me as Brother Braheem. Which is fine, but a little weird when they do it in front of customers.
That being said, not nearly as weird as my manager at the liquor store, who would straight up tell customers that I wasnt white. Didnt even have the wrong caller id then, i just wasnt one of the chestnut hill type whites.
In my understanding "stay Black" means "remain authentic," not "retain your melanin," so the statement holds.
Then again, telling your coworkers to "retain your melanin" is fucking hilarious.
Someone should've said that to MJ
"You are African Americans...... Plus... Mark."
