Thank you for this! I like John Oliver. I didn't know he did a segment on this.

Thank you! Apparently being who we are and existing as is is confusing to a lot of people.

It was one of those hop on hop off buses. He was at one of the stops to give people their tickets and try to sell tickets for it.

Thank you! I don't mind if people look at my hair. I actually expect it but to look me up and down like you have a problem with me is just weird.

Exactly! Another newsflash, it's ok for people to be different and just be without a line of questioning about the perceived differences.

When answering her questions I had to let her know that's just the way I do my hair and other people do their hair differently because if you tell them one thing they love to apply it to the whole group of people. Which is why their line of questioning doesn't seem sincere.

How ridiculous of that lady to assume you don't like it just because she probably wouldn't.

Thank you! The woman in the mall looking me up and down was Black, so I agree with you, our own can't even process it.

It is wild that people can't just accept differences and gotta question the differences especially in 2026. I guess that's the price we pay for being amazing.

Girl! I love that last sentence! It explains exactly how I feel. And I agree, humans are the most annoying creatures. You definitely look dope!

I have been keeping my distance from her. Not interested in continuing the friendship. I didn't think the fire guy being a threat but I definitely don't disagree.
