Wear a sheet then they won't know your eyes are closed while you nap.
Sometimes we carry more weight then we owe.
And sometimes goes on and on and on.

Make sure you give the OK hand sign.

(Was listening to a podcast the other day.  They knew full well that it was a 4chan troll, but argued that it was now in fact a rassis symbol, because the rassiss folks picked up on it.)
In thy presence is fulness of joy.
At thy right hand pleasures for evermore.

I keep thinking someone needs to turn it around and wear white face, then ask for a raise.  Probably wouldn't go over well.

The vibe I got listening to it was lefty and smug.  NPR level smug.  So, they just know.

I got to go through it... Twice!

Once at my regular job, and once for the college where I teach evenings.  The one for my regular day job was much more lengthy and involved.

I've always held the opinion that race doesn't matter to me.  We're all humans.  I'll work with anyone, and have made friends with all kinds of folks.

I have now learned that this is wrong.  That by choosing to not acknowledge race, I am diminishing other races as I do not see them for who they are, apparently.  So, I guess I should try to recognize the racial differences between people in an effort to not be racist?

2020 man, I don't even know anymore.

Be good, now.  No snide looks, eyebrow-raising, eye-rolling.  No remarks about the old-time Dem party.

Practice muttering "Right on" and nodding in agreement.

Save your glory for where it will be effective.

If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

Just tell them you feel inside that you're really a black male lesbian trans man.

Be sure you work this into the "discussion":

Acknowledging race is to differentiate by race, and is by definition, racist.

The real definition, not the libtard version.
