[Bit 1]

It's 2025 and there seems to still be a lot of gender confusion, but I think I'm actually racially confused.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I've been with one black woman in my life.
and I don't know I mean I've been with a few habsies but all my other black
friends in my life you know they tell me that it doesn't count apparently there's
a threshold for a blackness you know there's like Taylor Swift Beyonce and
whoopi Goldberg and I mean I guess I just didn't hit the mark I don't know but
what's funny the funny thing is the nigga bar seems to be a lot lower than
than the actual black bar.
So like, people my whole life have told me
that I'm not black.
But I say nigga all the time and nobody gives a fuck.
Look at Puerto Ricans, Fat Joe.
Fat Joe says nigga in just about every one of his songs.
Nobody gives a fuck.
