âThatâs the thing that really came into focus for me is that this needs to be in âGâ rated material because as soon as you separate this out - you say there is something inherently more adult about this - that is the root of the problem, that is the root of this fear, and this ignorance, and this hatred⊠there is nothing that is more adult about this, but you wouldnât know that because you have never seen this in G-rated content! The-the gravity of that just really started to hit me and weigh on me because this is what you see as a child. What you learn as a child. And thereâs this push for inclusion and acceptance - and everyone wants to do something about this - but itâs all being directed at adults! We need to teach children that this is okay. We need to teach children to be able to accept each other and themselves, and if you donât theyâre going to grow up knowing that something is wrong, and then theyâll have to unlearn that as an adult. That makes no sense to me!â

How To Get A Job Fast As Hell
 @owenabbottâÂ
Apply to a  job, wait (1) day, then call.  Give them your first and last name. Tell them you submitted an application and that youâre very motivated to find [Enter field name] work. Let the conversation lead you wherever it takes. Be very polite. Sayâ thank you for your time, Iâll be looking forward to hearing back from you.â Rinse, repeat. This is to force them to be looking out for your application.Â
 When you get to the interview, shake their hand firmly,  tell them your first and last name. Â
Describe your experiences  as â two years transcription and data entryâ if you have a desk job interview and â [however many years]  costumer service, retail and stockâ for your retail jobs. Â
Donât use job â buzz wordsâ I stg they hear them all day. Say  things like, â Iâm detail oriented and am very good at taking instruction.â  â I would like to work for a company with integrity and I feel that [ company name] would be a good fitâ
When they ask you if you have âreliable transportationâ say  YES. donât tell them what kind of transportation, just say yes. (if you donât do this, you wont get the job , Iâm telling you right now).Â
Research the company. Know what they do, why they do it, how OLD the company is. WHERE it was founded, and what kind of position youâre intending to apply for.
When they ask you â give us a situation where you had to blah blah blahâ Make one the fuck up. Make yourself sound good as hell, and like you put your companyâs needs slightly above the customerâs needs, but make the customer happy.Â
If they ask you about being outgoing, Say you âlike to focus on your work so you can concentrate on doing things rightâ (which buys you out of having to act friendly all the time)
Questions for after the interview:
1. Â Does this position offer upward mobility?
2. Do you enjoy working for the company? (if youâre not interviewing for a temp agency who will send you anywhere)
 Then, shake their hand,  Ask them to repeat their name (REMEMBER THIS) say thank you for your time, wish them a nice day and leave. write their name down outside if you have to, just remember the fuck out of it.Â
AFTER your interview, send a card directed to the name of the person who interviewed you (Iâll give you them) that says âThank you for the interview, I appreciate the opportunity. have a great dayâ This shows  that you have an understanding of professionalism, and will have them thinking of you kindly (or at least remembering you) when theyâre shuffling through the choices.Â
DO NOT tell them you just moved to the city over the phone. Â In person, tell them you just moved to the city. Make it sound like the only reason you need a job is because you moved. Not because youâre desperate.Â

Stop telling black children to stay out of the sun because theyâll âget too blackâ
Your fear is rooted in colorism. Youâre perpetuating colorism, and youâre keeping your children from loving themselves. Let them live, love, and allow themselves to be a generation of carefree conscious black children.Â
