Oof. Do you see? Do you see your response? Me and my brother, we was once in a author’s room. We’ve at all times been edgy with our humor. So when individuals have that response, like, Oh, God, we used to name that “getting on a whitey bike.” Brothers would crack up at that, however white individuals: Oh, I don’t find out about that, they usually begin pedaling backward.
