This seems entirely too spot-on because it’s based on *checks Cliff’s Notes real quick* ALL OF AMERICAN HISTORY EVER.

That’s what I was thinking—ask a five year old on the street, even before the video of George Floyd’s murder was aired: “What happens if you can’t breathe for nine minutes?”

I made it through episode three but the colorism and SO TYPICAL “dark-skinned, not-thin sister is jealous of lighter-skinned, ‘skinnier’ sister” tripe/trope was just . . . TOO.

I FEEL this mood. I AM this mood. Have a star <3

I’m curious—I NEVER see Grays. Unless someone screenshots their shenanigans. Where are all the Grays? I know they exist because I’ve been one. And still am, sometimes, if I haven’t posted in a while. But I don’t see other Grays in their Gray state.

WHY, MisterPiggins, would you put that image in my big-uh-brain?

Yup, I’m ten to fifteen minutes drive from Rochester—slightly less if there’s no traffic. Which is almost surreal, in that it’s so near to Ellenville—LOTSA Black and Latinx folks—and Rosendale, which is like what many folks THINK Woodstock is. Hippie-dippie and laidback. Woodstock, now, is just . . . awful. Pretty,…

I’m a New Yawker, born and raised in NYC, living Upstate, now. There are PLENTY of dumbfucks up here who fly the rebel flag. I see that shit on the daily, and I’m two hours north of NYC, and about an hour south of Albany. Half an hour away from Poughkeepsie.
