You see your blue jalopy.

You realize that, unfortunately,
you are not sitting in your blue jalopy.
You are, in fact,
sitting in someone else's blue jalopy.
This is made apparent by the fact
that this someone else is, at present,
standing outside of this blue jalopy
telephoning the police.
Fear etched across their porcelain face.
This someone else is standing
ironically close to your blue jalopy,
which is parked one row further,
situated in a similar position to the blue jalopy
you are currently occupying.
You exit the blue jalopy.
The someone else, in the grip of fear,
makes their intentions known.
"I have to call the police."
You stare back at the someone else,
worry etched across your face.
The police arrive and you are worried
that you will not be able to explain the situation
in a way that will preserve your current physical state,
i.e. breathing, walking,
living, employed, etc.
Although it is likely that, you friend,

And so, friends,
the reason White Thoughts are so difficult to treat
is because of this little spectrometer right here.
No matter where your White Thoughts fall
on the spectrum from
burning crosses and wearing sheets,
to engaging in the secret suspicion
that your Guatemalan housekeeper
holds some sort of grudge against you,
to sitting there comfortable on your laptop
watching this infomercial, saying out loud to yourself...
None of this applies to me.
I read Noam Chomsky. I'm not racist!
Maybe not, Jon, but sadly,
"I'm not racist" spoken aloud
is a classic White Thought.
You see, because of their diversity, these White Thoughts
are incredibly difficult to treat.
So we must remain vigilant,
and remember that all these White Thoughts
stem from the same virus, and are thus
all the same shit.
Choir: ♪ All the same shit ♪
Jon: But don't worry,
we at DAX Pharmaceuticals have a created a cutting-edge,
topical, non-invasive treatment for White Thoughts.

Jon: Side effects may include but are not limited to:
Black thoughts, existential crisis,
bouts of amnesia, a loss of social power,
acceptance of the mortality of yourself, and your culture,
your white friends wondering, "What's gotten into you,"
your parents worrying that you might bring a biracial child into the world,

-Exactly. -(all laugh)
'Cause that... it doesn't work like that.
Terence: Are you in a relationship?
Yeelen: I've been in a relationship with my partner,
and we've been together for five years.
We've recently opened our, our relationship.
She's phenomenal. She's, uh...
an incredible source of inspiration.
Last time I told her
that there was this, like, dude I was attracted to
she... kind of receives it
as more of a, "Ah, that's exciting.
"That's really cool that you,
um, have those desires."
You know, number one, it's exciting
'cause that opens the possibilities of us having, like,
threesomes with another dude.
Doreen: Yeah, that's what I was gonna ask,
if you guys, like, have ever had those types of--
-Not yet. -Doreen: Not yet. Okay.
But, like, we've plotted.
Yeelen: She's been very encouraging
in terms of, like, me wearing
uh, like, more feminine clothing,
um, and her, like, bringing back home like a--
a-- a skirt that she saw that would look cute on me,
and was like, "Hey, I thought of you,
and you would look cute in this skirt," or, you know.
I think that I'm sexier to her
exploring that, um,
gender non-binary,
um, and exploring, like, clothing,
and, like, being confident in a crop top. You know?
-Are you confident in a crop top? -I love, I love crop tops.
Terence: So, since you opened up your relationship,
what's dating like now, with both genders,
given your, you know, fluidity?
I've encountered several challenges.
I was on the train,
and I-- I saw this girl on the train.
And I think that day I was, like, probably dressed, like, a bit more...
masc, I guess, um...
-What do you mean by "masc"? -I don't know.
See, like, that's the thing. Like, what does that mean?
Yeelen: She had braids, and had, like, a septum piercing,
and just like a really, really bright smile.
-It was me, actually. -(soft music plays)
Oh, no! She had, like, a piercing between her teeth.
And so, anyway, I had to, like, say something.
-And then, I did-- -Terence: Well, what'd you say?
What's your approach game like?
Yeelen: I was trying to write something. You know?
And then, like, the train kept on moving,
so, I was just like, "Ugh! I can't write it!"
Doreen: Oh, like writing a love note?
Not-- not a love note. But like, "Hey, I think
you're really cute." Blah, blah, blah.
And, um, I went and I was like,
"I was trying to write you this note,
"but the train's fucked up.
"You know, I'd rather tell it to you.
"Um, and I think you have a really nice smile,
and it, like, caught me off guard."
And-- and she was like, "Wow!
Um, that's really nice." Blah, blah, blah.
And now, everything's through Instagram.
You know, and I slid in the DMs.
-So you slip and slide. -Yeah. Ah! (laughs)
And so, yeah, we went on a date.
She had, like, an art show.
-Terence: Mm-hmm. -And I showed up on the day,
I was wearing this, like,
dress. (chuckles, snorts)
I was, like, what? I mean, I didn't even think
that that would be like a... like a weird thing.
-She had her gums pierced, so, you know. -Yeah!
Yeelen: You have your gums pierced,
you have a septum piercing.
"Why can't I have a dress on?"
That was my thinking. (laughs)
Yeelen: It was cool at first, and then, like, uh,
there was, like, a music show, and, like,
I was, like, kind of dancing,
and I guess I was, like, a bit more effeminate.
And after-- Like, it was just like--
It was kinda weird. Like, she was kind of looking at me like,
kind of, like, "I didn't know that you could be these things."
And basically,
throughout the end of the date, she was like,
"So, what's your sexual orientation like?"
And I'm like, "What do you mean?
"I mean, I'm into you, so..."
She's like, "Well, you're kinda like a bit more effeminate."
And I was like, "Huh!"
(chuckles)
What does that mean? Like...
I mean, I thought I made it clear
that I was into her--
no matter how I danced or dressed.
So that kinda turned me off.
I was like, "This-- this sucks."
You know?
"And-- and your art's not that good."
