Worth reminding folks of Toni Morrison's statement: "in this country, American means ◻️. Everyone else has to hyphenate." That matters for reasons.

I even saw comments about how ppl thought Annie was his uncle or MOM.

I had to quickly explain to them that they thought that because she is both dark AND fat and they assured me that wasn’t the case.

It’s amazing how many ppl don’t even realize that their thoughts are not their own.

My college ex broke up with me the morning of my graduation because I only had one plus 1 for the grad picnic the evening before and I invited MY MOM. She also said she felt I was hiding her from my family. The family she was going to meet and spend the entire day with at the damn graduation!

Target calling Al Sharpton is the most hilarious development of this boycott.
