[Bit 1]

- Hey, I am in an interracial marriage

And so I'm the only black person in my husband's family.

And because of that,

they always have annoying-ass questions for me.

One time my sister-in-law was like,

"Hey, Candace, can you please talk to the kids

"about Juneteenth?"

And that shit pissed me to fuck off.

'Cause then I had to go look up what Juneteenth was.

I had absolutely no idea.

I snuck in the bathroom and searched that shit on Google.

I was like, "Oh, this why I was off work on Monday?

"Oh, okay."

Since they always got questions for me,

I decided to start making shit up,

just giving us superpowers.

They asked me a dumb question,

I give them a dumb answer, like,

"Hey Candace, do black people like fried chicken?"

Of course we do, and we can see in the dark.

Did you know that?
