I don't think I ever, at any point, wondered why Cleveland was a black guy that happened to act like a white guy. So I didn't need this origin story.
At the very least, we got some decent laughs out of this episode. The Bieber-bot and Cleveland's dance-off were good for a laugh, but there wasn't much else beyond this that worked for me.
Federline: I feel you, dawg. Some people have called me the BLACKEST white man in America. Cleveland: NO ONE calls you that. Roberta: Yeah, I don't think most people know you exist.
