I kinda know about all of this, but the looks of those people don't even matter, because they've disappeared. They're all gone, you know?

I'm worried about lots of Black folks today. Not all of them, though. Some (usually educated) are doing fine. But lots of others are feeling lost, desperately looking for some reason to be, and this is our time, right now.

I don't give a shit what ancient Egyptians looked like. I'm even laughing at writing this. That's not our issue. We need people to be happier at our present time.
