Wife Asks Why I Did The Lights and Darks Together in the Laundry: Because it's 2020, You Racist Bitch!

Welcome to the new millennium, honey! You can be so close-minded. Sorry, that I mixed the lights and the darks. First, I don’t see the world that way. Second, ever hear of integration? Next you’ll suggest that the dark socks ride in the back of the laundry basket? That my black dress socks give up their seat to one of your white tank tops?

I can’t believe in 2020 that I’m writing this — I see it everywhere. Yesterday, I saw a guy on network television come right out and call an African American reporter a ‘color commentator’…to his face! Racism, ageism, sexism - it’s everywhere I look these days.

‘Women’s Bathroom’? Ouch - sorry, fellas.

‘Children’s Hospital’? Move along, grandpa!

White power? Black panthers? Oh wait, those are real…and bad.
