Yeah, I’m not doing any of these things. I’m also not going to fret over their comfort in any area of my life. 🖤

The local bank in the nearby Deep South village has small representations painted on the door of things not permitted inside, each with its own circle and line through it:

a cigarette - OK, sure

sunglasses - uh...yeah.

a hoodie - painted on the door of a bank is a symbol of someone wearing a hooded sweatshirt, meaning "no hoodies allowed."

Except one day I was there with two other people, all of us wearing hoodies, and not a word was said.

But we were all three white...

(I don't have a dime in that bank, and never intend to.)

Also, don’t manspread, vape passive aggressively, or play shitty music on the subway. Thanks!

Please don’t tell Barack Obama that he’s black. And that’s “in the church pulpit” voice he performs is bullsh*t. And I don’t give a damn if real black folks don’t like it. They can kiss my round black ass. As for the sassiness that black women supposedly have with the neck rolls etc. that was perpetuated by Martin Lawrence, Sinbad & Chris “Slap” Rock the Wayans bros. All for fame and white women. They pandered to audiences by belittling black women in their 80s & 90s. They made their bones on it. The only real thing that makes whitey comfortable is black men & women fighting, killing & degrading each other. Fvck their comfort. Let’s love ourselves & each other. It’s the ONLIEST way we gone survive.
