Uno draw 3 and the color is white😌
As proud as I am to be a super-duper activist and father to young pro-black activists, I should have better prepared myself financially and been more specifically objective in regards to telling my kids what to look for and what to protest about.

You see, when your babies come home upset, screaming "5 signs... 5 signs... 5 whites only signs posted... in the year 2023... we cannot stand for this," on the surface, one would vehemently agree. Hot-headed, half-hearing, quick-to-swing black daddies like myself can be counted on to speak on and act on things without truly having proper context.

"5 signs, you say you saw?? That calls for 5 Molotov cocktails to whatever place you saw it at!!!!" And with that, permission was granted and arson was officially underway. Had it not been for the fact that I had a job interview on the graveyard shift, I would have left with my fearless civil rights fire brigade-minded criminal babies. But alas, they left to go get supplies and ammo while I went to the local laundromat to wash my trusted, to make an impression, pearly white Dickies jumpsuit.

As I made my way inside, a Final Destination-like breeze gusted against my neck, and a crackish itch caused my eye to twitch, and all of a sudden, I looked at the labels by a few of the washing machines. "OH MY FUCKING GOD," I said to myself. "LO AND BEHOLD, right before me - whites only signs on every other washing machine - to keep the color clothes from getting the complimentary bleach added to the load for free." Just as I said to myself I have to text these dumb, hot-headed, non-contextual, news-relaying or understanding, fool-ass kids of mine, I heard Rosasita, the laundromat attendant near the door, scream out, "cinco fuego bolas."

Now, I failed Spanish in high school, but I knew that shit meant 5 fireballs. Always teach your kids, if Mexicans are running a laundromat near your neighborhood, and they see a whites only sign posted near a machine, they probably aren't a fucking racist outdated white establishment, they probably are trying to help you not bleach your fucking colored clothes.

Aye yi yi.
