    I was the only black person in my theater for Barbie. Small crowd, Monday afternoon. And I was the only one who laughed at the “white savior Barbie” line which, in my expert opinion, only made it funnier.

    This 83 year old woman holds a sign that says “Defend black voices” as the marchers walk by and cheer for her. “I’m so proud of you young people,” she says.

    WHEW. “We see no reason to celebrate 70 years of the ascension of your grandmother to the British throne because her leadership, and that of her predecessors, have perpetuated the greatest human rights tragedy in the history of humankind.”

    A white boomer lady slid right in front of me during boarding, as I was about to scan my ticket. When she tried to play it off by saying “you’re too young for first class” I said “and too black?” before I realized I had even opened my mouth. I’m TIREDT.
