- “Can you give the the lowdown on the whole BlackLivesMatter thing?”
No. - “How come you support transgender people but don’t accept Rachel Dolezal?”
Because I understand nuance, Margaret. - “What are your thoughts on Trump’s plans for a [insert terrible policy] policy?”
The policy is logistically faulty at best; at worst it’s a violation of the constitution. He’ll probably still be elected president though. - “Could you imagine Trump actually being president?”
Yeah, it’s probably going to happen. - “Man, who could have imagined Trump actually being our president?”
I’m transferring to Howard. - “Has anyone ever told you you look like Tyler J. Williams?”
Yes. - “Why can you say it but we can’t?”
Because you’re one Facebook post away from “calm down nigger”, Margaret. Please leave me alone. - “I mean… I can at least say it in a song, right?”
Margaret. - “But doesn’t it just mean friend?”
Margaret, I’d call the police but that probably wouldn’t end well for me. - “Why are you dressed up so nice?”
Oh. This is actually a fair question. It’s because if my fit isn’t on point then I’m going to get roasted when I meet up with my friends later and my clout can’t afford that.
