Bush died today...
I SAID Bush died today.
Who ma?
...the forty third president. You know when New York lost the first trade center and America went to hell.
Yes mother, we know. When companies ruled the world through the illuminati, when Brooklyn was invaded by white folk and Bush didn't care about black people.<
Don't mock me.
Would I do that?
I gave birth to your ungrateful behind, the least you could do is listen to me before I go senile.
You're already...
What?! I may have given you your trust fund already,but i'm still on the board, I'll have you out on the street so fast with those "closer nature folk"...
Relax mother I'm just tired.
Tired?! You don't KNOW tired. Taking a 45 min train to school, walking home during the black outs, working 8,9,10 hours works days, two, three jobs. Manually turning on the TV, AC, Physically opening doors...doors with KNOBS for that matter, actually talking to people. pssssht you don't KNOW tired.
But things are better now right? Could you turn down the volume on your headset mother? Your shouting at me and I have a headache...
If you actually listened i wouldn't have to 'shout'. Where'd all the black folks go?
Mother i'm right here.
Chile, you ain't black, you kinda look black if i squinted really hard
{Mumbles}... and you are?
I just miss the darker folk, I shoulda left NY when they said 'the people' were leaving. how you gonna have a migration and leave folks behind?! Even the brown latinos left i'm mean damn...
please watch your language...the grandchildren...and you're not the last black person in brooklyn?

I love you too mother.
